In the discussion in the Court House
Friday, Squire J. W. c. Church spoke
of the vicious and inhuman treat
ment" of the county prisoners in the
county work house or "shacks." We
hope Mr.. Church's Indignation will
not cool before the next meeting of
his court Then he can remedy the
evil, to large extent at least, if he
will What is needed is more room,
more shacks, more guards. 1t is vic
ious and inhuman" to keep human be-
and through the long, hot Sundays of
the summer, in iron cages out in the
broiling sun, and poorly ventilated.
But who is primarily to blame for
this vicious and inhuman" treat
ment if not the Honorable County
Court of Maury County, of which Mr..
Church is shining light? Give the
superintendent of the Work House
more room and better ventilated
shacks and all the guarls he needs,
and then if he does not make a good
showing for the money he spends,
turn him off and get a better man.
Talk is cheap; but If the County
Court will plank down the coin, we
believe Mr. Akin will do his duty to
the best OF his ability. IF he is vic
ious," or ''inhuman.' or incompetent"
fire him. But do not hold him respon-
sible for the lack of room and funds |
which the County Court refuses to
furnish.

And will this grand jury do any bet
ter than the other grand juries? What
shame and disgrace it all Is upon
Maury County that its grand juries
will so disregard their duties and their
oaths, and that the County Court will
permit its county institutions to be
and to exist in such deplorable condi-
tion. And this thought suggests itself
ALSO If prisoners from the jail car
ry lice to the shacks, why may they
not carry lice into the court room?
If lousy negro comes from the jail
and spends day or two or three on
trial in the Circuit Court room, is It
not likely that some of the lice may
crawl upon his next neighbor while he
is there? And how long before the
new Court House will be infected
with lice? Where are things to stop,
if the county institutions are not
cleaned up?

| At the mass meeting in the Court
House Friday, when the discussion
was on the Work House, Judge Hold
| ing suggested that that matter might
be referred to the grand jury. We de-
sire to second the motion and to sug-
gest to His Honor that he refer it to
the grand jury. He heard the charge
made by the County Health officer
that the work house shacks contained
millions of body lice and he heard the
Superintendent of the County Work
House retaliate with the charge that
the lice were brought there by pris-
oners from the County Jail, which in
stitution was likewise infected with
these vermn. And the Judge has
doubtless read in the Herald the
charge that the County Poor House is
infected with bed bugs and body lice.
And now comes a question Haven't
the grand juries known these things
all these years? Do they not make
reports to the Court every quarter
about the Jail and the work house?

We congratulate Columbia upon its
new charter. 1t is better in every re.
spect we think than the old one. And
another matter of congratulation is
this: The makers of it, who may be
fairly credited with rejecting public
sentiment. played no cheap politics,
but legislated solely and alone for
Law Enforcement and the public good.
OF course, a Board of Mayor and AL
dermen, and a Board of Trade Com
mittee are supposed always to do that;
but that is violent superstition some
times, while in this instance it APP
pears to have been the controlling pur-
pose of both the boards And in this
connection we feel permitted to say
this much more: That in the discus
sion of this new charter and the new
order of things, the question of boot
logging" came up, and Mayor Guest
and Alderman fowler, chairman of
the Police Committee, promise, not
only that they will try to prevent
it, but that they will prevent it, or
that they will catch and punish the |
miscreants who engage in it, II it |
cannot be done by the regular force, |
they say, it can be done by police or
detectives in citizens clothes, and it |
shall be done We are truly glad the
Mayor and his cabinet are awake and
alert to this new duty. The best way to
stop boot-leggins is to nip it in the
bud" Teach this class OF offenders,
whom nobody respects and whom no
community should tolerate, that they
simply cannot ply their nefarious prac-
tees in this city Teach them to know
that however successful they might
be in lodging men with the uniform
on, that no expense will be spared in !.
them. II it takes twice the !,
force in citizens clothes to detect
them. The question of cost should not
enter much into 1t. OF course, no
more money should be spent than is
necessary. The peoples money should
not be wasted at any time for any
purpose. But If the pestiferous pill :.

THE ROAD QUESTION.

We are glad TO see so much and
such general interest being taken in
the road question. Never before have
We seen Maury county so alive TO that
great question; and yet il is strange
that the farmers Of Maury county. who
have the votes and the wealth and the
influence have not long ago demanded
more roads and better roads than
they have.
The present system, it seems to US.
is somewhat too complicated. We
have turnpike commissioners, county
commissioners. district commission
ers, work-house commissioners. and
the county court to boot. all to look
after the roads; and, if we may be-
lieve common rumor, 1t is every fell
low for himself and the devil take the
| hindmost
There is too much machinery con-
nected with the locating of the roads
and the working of the same. 1t is
to be more simplified and better sys-
tematized. As too many cooks are
said to spoil the broth, so too many
bosses seem to interfere with road
building in this county.
First, we would suggest fewer boss
es. Three commissioners for the en-
tire county, paid and paid well for all
their time, we believe would save the
people money, and certainly give them
better roads. These commissioners
should have entire control over the
roads, and over the work house hands
to help work the roads. in that way do
ing away with so many small offices
which do not pay men to attend to,
and which are not well attended to.
These commissioners should be elect
ed by the people from the county at
large; insuring thereby that all parts
of the county would receive impartial
treatment. And these commissioners
should have power to condemn prop
erty for road purposes, and pending
appeals to proceed with their road
and pay whatever damages
the court adjudged. 1t may work a
hardship in some instaces, but indi-
vidual interests should not stand in
he way of improvements for the pub
ic good And yet another provision
We think would be right, would be the
placing of special tax on abutting {
and property closely cOntig-
lous to this new road, closer than to
my other road, and to be fed and used
" such property This. too, might
york a hardship sometimes, and yet
is necessary because of the general I
ussedness of human nature; for there
rarely new road built that ma a
ority of the people on the way do not e
hirk their own part and force others v
, do more than their part to make the II
