THE VALUE OF REFoRMAToRIEs.

Because man opposes reform
atory for youthful criminals does not
always mean that he is hard-hearted.
1t may be that he has old fogy ideas
and is living partly in the past. A
correspondent to the Waxhaw Enter
prise tells of some sad cases, that
wouldn't be so sad if there had been
a reformatory. These are only few
out of many similar cases: Twenty
years ago poor illegitimate boy,
badly clothed, stole pair of pants
worth about $3.50 from a merchant
at Monroe. He was tried, convicted
and sent to the state prison twelve
months. From the day he returned
until now he has kept the law, so far
as I know. l saw him go to the bal
lot box, ticket in hand, to exercise
his political freedom. But chal-
lenge stared him in the face. The
poor fellow put down the ticket and
walked away sorrowful. North Car
olina says to that poor fellow, You
shall not vote, but you must pay tax,
if it takes the last mouthful of your
bread" I saw two boys tried in the
courts of Union county They were
about thirteen and fifteen years of
age respectively, and were tried for
breaking into the dinner buckets of
some road hands. I learned that
the mother of the poor boys was dead
and that there had been trouble
when the next mamma came along,
and so the boys resloved to run
away. The jury found them guilty
and when the Judge sentenced them
to the roads it not only brought
tears to their old fathers eyes but to
the eyes Of Mr. Jerome (their coun-
sell as well. Today in our state
prison there is a poor motherless
girl, twelve years Of age, from Cabar-
rus county who killed man whose
object was her ruin. Her sentence
was twelve years. What will that
girl be at the expiration of her term?

The Weekly Jeffersonian begins to-
day the serial publication Of that mel
low old classic, Georgia Scenes"
written by Judge Augustus Baldwin
Longstreet. No writer has ever more
faithfully portrayed the manners and
customs of a people than Judge Long
street in this delightful volume. It
was favorite of our fathers and
grandfathers, but generation is COM
ing on which knows it not. We feel
that The Weekly Jeffersonian is rem
dering genuine service to its readers
in rescuing this Southern classic
from oblivion. Each chaptez~1;tt ~
complete in itself, and yet the whole
is bound together by common in
terest which gives it unity.
Judge Longstreet was born in Au-
gusta, Ga, in 1870. He was gradual
ed from Yale, and, after practicing
law, became; a Judge of the Supe-
rior Court in 1922. After several
years ON the bench, he resumed the

Preface to the First Edition.

The following sketches were writ
ten rather in the hope that chance
would bring them to light when time
would give then an interest, than in
the belief that they would afford
any interest to the readers of the
present day. knew, however, that
the chance of their surviving the au-
thor would be increased in proper
tion to their popularity upon their
first appearance; and, therefore, l
used some little art in order to rec
ommend them to the readers of my
own times. They consist of moth
ing more than fanciful combinations
of real incidents and characters; and
throwing into those scenes, which
would be otherwise dull and insipid,
some personal incident or adventure
of my own, real or imaginary, as it
would best suit my purpose; usually
real, but happening at different times
and under different circumstances
from those in which they are here
represented. I have not always, how
ever, taken this liberty. Some of the
scenes are as literally true as the
frailties of memory would allow
them to be. I commenced the pub
hcation of them, in one Of the ga
za4f oF fn hon
a year ago; and / was not more
pleased than astonished to find that
they were we'll received by readers
generally. For the last six months
L have been importuned by persons
from all quarters of the State to
give them to the public in the present
form. This volume is purely a con-
cession to their entreaties. From
private considerations, / was ex-
tremely desirous Of concealing the
author, and, the more effectually to
do so, I wrote under two signatures.
These have now become TIP closely
interviewer with the sketches to be
separated from them, without an ex-
pense of time and trouble which I
am unwilling to incur. Hall is the
writer of those sketches in which
men appear as the principal actors,

en- are the prominent figures. For
