BRUTAL TREATMENT OF STATE
CONNECTS

The question of the treatment of
county convicts has again been
brought vividly into the limelight by
report from State Supervisor Of
Convicts Fitzgerald, on the camps Of
Escambia county. Mr.. Fitzgerald's
charges against TWO OF the guards,
Hammock and O'Neill we're of a char
acter to arouse the fercest indigna-
ton in the heart of any man alive to
even the smallest sense of mercy or
justice.
It was terrible enough TO have to
read of the beating Of prisoners over
the back and head with a gun, one Of
! the prisoners suffering at the time
from great sores on his left hand
which interfered with his work. and
which were not receiving proper med
! ical attention. 1t was revolving
enough to note that the poor wretch.

when it comes TO the maltreatment OF
a miserable woman who in her for

nevertheless hallowed by the sacred
vision or expected motherhood. the
limit of endurance has been reached
and manhood is called upon TO revolt

brutality.

If the charges against the manage
ment of the convict camps in Escam-
bia county are true the criminals
guilty of the reported ourages should
be convicted and sent TO the peni-
Tertiary. 1t is not necessary. how
ever. that the alleged circumstances
should be widely printed and scatter
ed all over the country to the scandal
izing of the entire sOuth-as has been
the unfortunate habit heretofore.
There are people and papers who
seize upon such allegations to abuse
and belittle the south and discourage
the migration to it of the good people

UNJUST CRITICISM.

Charles w. Stivers, editor of the Lib
erty Herald, makes grave mistake
when he attempts to prove that the To-
cal Order of Elks was lined up in any
political deal to further the candidacy
of Thomas Davidson in the recent con-
gressional campaign. 1t is true that
there were members Of the Elks in the
delegation from Wayne county. and il
is also true that there were members of
the knights OF Pythias, Masons and
other orders on that delegation. But
they were not there as representing the
will of the particular lodge TO which
they belonged. They were there as
the representatives OF their wards and
townships, as citizens and not as lodge
members. If We are not greatly mis-
taken, Editor Stivers is a member of
several of the lodges mentioned, yet we
doubt if he considered himself in the
light of a candidate supported by them.
He should therefore apply that same
principle TO the individual masshers of
Wayne oounty's delegation.

STORIES FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL


Washington, D. C., April lS.-Repre-
sentative Underwood, of Alabama, does
not often tell story, but when he does
dip into the past for a little reminis-
cence he usually brings forth a good
one The following story, he says is
true. as any one knows who is ac-
quainted IN Birmingham, Alabama.
There was family named Ely who
owned splendid plantation on which
the city of Birmingham now stands.
During the war the men folks were at
the front an old negro servant faith
fully went about his chores on the
farm.
When the war was over and the
men returned. Old Billy was rewarded
He was given an acre of land, a mule
and timber for a cabin. That was
enough for all of his wants for all
time
Old Billy went along in a joyful
manner, feeding his pigs, harvesting
his bacon. doing chores for his little
bit Of gin money and having less wor-
ry and more real fun than the bank
presidents are having today.
Someone discovered iron at Birming-
ham and the boom started. The city
kept growing up all around Old Billys

thanked with buildings and today its
site is opposite the Union depot.
When the property became desirable
several men wanted to buy old Billy $
land. He was persuaded that $4,000
was a fair price and he accepted. They
gave him check. He was rather du-
bious about a little piece of paper with
''figgerin' on it" being worth $4,000,
but he took the check and asked the
purchasers of his farm to go TO the
bank with him before he handed over
the deed They did so and Old Billy
was assured by the cashier that every
thing was regular ana he could have
his money when he wanted it.
How'll you have ii. Uncle Billy"
asked the cashier.
Il spec TEX it in silber boss" said
Rilly.
The cashier began piling up silver
dollars in stacks of twenty. Old Billy
watched with gIistening eyes, until the
counting shelf was Almost covered.
Then he interrupted.
Say. boss he said, s. is all dat mon
ey mine?"
Why, that's only a small part of it, -
replied the cashier. There's only
a thousand dollars there"

RIGHT SPIRIT.

West Richmond is showing the spirit
observed BY all good West Richmond
ties, in not only cleaning their own
given gratis to the city. They intend
to clean up the ground that it is pro-
posed shall be used for Riverside park,
in order to bring attention to the land
scape beauties that will be made pos
siblesif this park is ever provided for.
Such. enterprise as this shows the
great, enthusiasm and patriotism of
West Richmondites for their section
Of the city, and makes it all the more
apparent how much they deserve to
be- encouraged in every way possible.
By this we mean they ought to receive
the additional hose house that our city
so much needs. Furthermore. their
claims for Riverside park ought to re-
ceive serious consideration In the near
future. Indeed those of us who now
live east of'the river ought to use ev-
cry influence possible to aid West
Richmond in obtaining what it wants
and deserves, for at its present rate of
growth. 1t will not be long before the
east side will have TO seek favors of
the west side majority.
