amount Of repairs each year would maintain
the roads in perfect order.
At every point where public roadway
crosses railroad, the dirt road should go
over or under the railroad Grade crossings,
where the dirt road passes over the railroad
on the same level, are death-traps. Tt is
shame that we should continue, from year to
year, to murder people on these grade cross
ings, rather than go to the expense of pre-
venting the casualty. Tt is possible that, with
out any conflict whatever, it might be agreed
upon by the state authorities and the railroad
authorities, that the stae would bear a certain
proportion of the expense Of abolishing the
grade crossings and the corporations bear the
remainder But some plan should be adopted
in the interest of common humanity to do
away with these death-traps which are con-
stantly catching their victims the young and
the old, the black and the white, the rich and
the poor, year in and year out.

Franklin, Tenn, June Is, 1908.
My Dear Mr. Watson:
I have just read your editorial on "The
Catholic Hierarchy and Politics. and I want
to commend and endorse, in the strongest
terms possible, every word Of that editorial.
It is as true as Gospel.
The Catholic Church has ever been the arch
enemy Of free government, education and
civilization. It is now the ally Of Plutocracy
in this country and the greatest existing men
ace to our free institutions.
Thank God for man brave enough and
true enough to expose the schemes and pur-
poses of this greatest of foes to religious and
political liberty and to sound the alarm in
clarion tones.
I do not believe there is another man, Of
equal prominence, in public life in America
today who would have dared to do it,
God keep and protect you is my earnest
prayer. Very truly, your friend,
H. J. MULIENS.

Dear Sir. 1t has been my aim to tell you

victs in this state, but I have not had the
opportunity, so | will write you the main
facts.
Of course it is understood that you are to
use these facts in such way as not to make
the life of the convict who reported these
facts any harder, but rather to do all you can
to put an end to brutal treatment
do not know whether or not the law of

get square meal on few special occasions,
visits from prominent citizens, when the
legislature is in session, etc. The rest of the
time the convicts have to make out with the
little mess set before them, together with
what their friends can give them.
In the division Of the penitentiary which
/ visited, I found just reason for complaint.
The meal with it's brand bugs, ETC., is poured
into vessel with water in it, mixed and then
emptied into baker and cooked. The biscuit
is cooked exactly the same way. The meat
is ain OK or COW caught out Of the woods, put
in a syrup kettle and about half cooked.
When this meat is~eaten by white men, it has
the effect Of castor OIL
No wonder the prisoners work all day every
Sunday preparing them something to eat
during the coming week. The prisoner, after
a hard weeks work and with many stripes,
ought to have the opportunity to rest on the
Sabbath. The prisoners have to take what
little money their friends give them, and
buy -four and meat and cook it on Sundays to
keep from perishing. The stoves are in the
yard, but the cooking has to go rain or
shine.
IF there is any law in Georgia limiting the
days work for the prisoner you not find
it out by visiting the penitentiary. The pris-
oners are called up before day, and kept at
work as long as they can see.
A division of the penitentiary which I
visited is leased to Yankee and there |
noticed that the negroes had the ightest work,
and nearly all the TRUSTEES were negroes. Some
of the whites wore the chains, but not single
negro did. Now the most alarming fact about
all Of this is that the prisoners are afraid
to report any Of these facts, for fear they will
be beaten half to death, or killed If the
captain of the guards hears Of any complaint,
he beats the naked back Of plaintiff until his
clothes stick to him for several weeks After
the prisoner is half killed with the leather
strap, he is given to understand that if he
doesn't take his beating with good grace the
captain will finish killing him, and swear that
he did it in self defence. Of course the
prisoner has no friends there, and he has
to submit to any kind Of treatment. The least
complaint makes the treatment worse.
So Of course when committee of the
legislature, big philanthropist, or prom
inent minister of the Gospel, etc, comes
around and inquiries of the prisoners about
their rations, treatment, etc, the prisoners
have no complaint to make.
Very respectfully,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-07-09
Answer.

I am heartily in favor of the state extend
ing the Western and Atlantic railroad to deep
water. One way in which this could be done
would be to take advantage of the fact that
the Central railway has forfeited its charter.
There is no doubt whatever that if legal pro-
ceedings were instituted and pressed with en-
ergy to final hearing in the supreme court
of the United States it would be held that
this corporation had violated the terms upon
which it was given the right to exist BY
misuser of it's franchise, it has violated its
charter over and over again, To say nothing
of it's illegal relations with the Southern rail
way system, and to say nothing Of those in
stances referred to in the decision of the su-
preme court of Georgia. it violated the law of
it's life when it colluded with the Standard Oil
Company to destroy competition in the pur-
chase of cotton seed and the manufacture of
cotton seed oil. One instance Of this was
their refusal to furnish the Augusta Broker
age Company with to move cotton seed,
at the same time that it furnished cars when
ever needed by the Standard Oil Company.
These facts are of record, and amount to such
n1isuser of franchise as works forfeiture
of the charter.
AS to the convict question, | have
been on record for almost a decade against the
infamous system of hiring out state convicts
to private citizens, to be exploited for private
gain, It is a disgrace to the whole south that
we have permitted this system to stand so
long, when We have had so many evidences of
its inevitable tendency to bring about brutal
izing conditions. In my Judgment, the state
should adopt some broad plan Of working the
public roads with its convicts, the purpose be
ing to make and maintain good roadways
, throughout the state. Under our present sys-
tenn. the citizen who is compelled to leave his
work and serve upon the public road, feels
1t to be hardship, and feels, also, that his
work does not yield that benefit to the state
which, under better system, would be it's
natural consequence By putting the state
convicts in charge of some competent road
maker, we would, in the course of a few
years, have constructed up-to-date roads and
bridges, with a proper system Of drainage;
