of putting it up and l was satisfied
city council realized the Importance
of this light as a convenience to
those who have business at the night
train. I have not seen it, but I am
going ov1r there some Of these days
and take a look, but | am satisfied i;
is alright and I don't see why some
one has not congratulated me and
the town council and President Fin
ley.
Visitors who come to the city in the
night time can now get good view
of that beautiful burned building
standing in Friend street, and can
avoid the precipice alongside the
street as they come into town.
T wonder Why the regulator of the
city clock keeps it going just five
minutes fast. About year ago,
remember, Mr.. Wicker gave some sort
of excuse that he did it so that the
street hands could get to work on
time. And that they could quit work
on time. I remember I almost went
crazy trying to figure the thing out
and to determine how it was, but
somehow I could not get correct
answer. I tried the rule of three
and then I tried the unknown guam
tity and my answer was still an un-
known quantity. I wonder it Prot.
Cannon could work out problem
like that. I suppose the street hands
start and stop by the same clock.
Now, where does the advantage come
in? And why a CLOCK at all If 1t is
not to keep correct time? There are
a great many people beside me who
are interested in this problem. I
haven't seen Mr.. Wicker in a long
time, and he may not be in charge
of the clock, or the street force, for
all that I know, but whomsoever is
might answer the question. So far
as I am concerned I have very little
use for town clock and have been
accustomed to subtracting five min
utes to get the correct time and I am
sufficiently up in mathematics to work
out this problem, but there are others
who are really worried and it is in
their behalf that I plead.

As to Pulling Fellows Off the Train


Easley cor. Greenville News. 9th.
When a through freight train going
South passed through Easley yester-
day afternoon young fellow about
20 years of age was pulled off the
train and after little chase down
the track was brought to the clock
up." At first it was thought he was
a "yegg" and a large crowd gathered
to see him, but after holding him for
a little while he was turned loose. He
said he was going to New Orleans to
get job as a plumber. A purse was
made up for him here. He seemed to
be a pretty intelligent fellow.
This incident recalled one of a few
years ago when a white boy was pull
ed off the train here and worked on
the chaingang for thirty. After he
had finished his term he was sick and
the people here gave him enough
money to go to Newberry. The ques-
ton was raised then and was raised
again yesterday if the law was Just
for the town authorities to have the
right to pull a fellow off and work
him on the gang. 1t seems that 1t IS
the railroads Job to collect the fares
and if a passenger causes a disturb
ance then call in the authorities. A
lot of times fellow is in ''hard luck''
and while the train employees are TAX
ing things easy and don't see the one
who is "beating' the police take him
off and work him. Many people look
at it as being the same. principle as
stealing, say money, groceries, but to
many it does, not. Certainly it's not
right 10 beat trains, but it certainly
is not right in the opinion of many to
put on gang every fellow who is too
sharp for the railroad officials to COL
lect fares from

THE IDLER.


noticed. in reading one of the At
lanta papers the other day. that two
little boys, one seven and the other
about the same age, had been run
down by an automobile, and one was
killed outright and the other died a
few hours after the accident. OF
course the automobile driver went on
his way and was not hurt. The boys
were riding bicycles and had no busi-
ness getting in the way Of the auto
mobile. I suppose they thought, If
they had time to think. that they had
as much right to the road as the au-
ton1obile, but they didn't and they
ought to have been taught that they
didn't. There are two young lives
snuffed out in the twinkling Of an eye.
Two homes are made sad. Possibly
by careless driving Of the cars and
reckless disregard of the rules gov
erning the driving of cars.

Now, I am the friend of the automo-
bile, and certainly would have a car
if I had that which is the sine qua
non, and I would not be understood
as opposing the use of a car by any
one who is able to own one. But
but-there are certain considerations
which ought to be considered by the
drivers and owners of cars. Have you
ever noticed how soon a purchaser OF
a car becomes an expert driver. IN
some cases 7 have noticed I don't
think it takes more than Is minutes,
and in no case longer than two hours.
It is remarkable. Newberry is filling
up with cars now and am glad OF
it, because automobiles are great pro-
moters of good roads, but as the toVn
and county does fill with cars the
more important to let the owners
know that the other people have some
rights to the roads, and the greater
the importance Of observing the ordi-
nances and laws regulating the driv-
ing of these cars.

Now, | am not criticizing the Off
GERS of the town, for, on the whole,
7 believe we have as we'll ordered
town as any in the State, but if this
law is detective because it has not
been properly published, then have it
published, or give notice to wagons
and buggies and pedestrians that
they must take care of themselves,
and stay clear of any motor car, for
the driver has the right of way and
may speed to his hearts content
vheresoever he may choose over and
on the streets and alleys of the said
town.

It seems to me that recall a short
time ago-well. possibly a couple
years-that somebody's trif1ing rabid
dog was running on the streets and
came afoul little child and bit it,
and the great sympathetic heart of
the community went out to the grief
stricken parents, and everybody was
so sorry, and city council then, after
that, mind you. passed an ordinance
to require all dogs running on the
streets to be muzzled. The little
child died. Of course the muzzling
of all dogs in creation could not re-
pair that loss or recall that child.
Suppose you look around on the
streets some day and see how many
dogs come within your vision and
count how many of them have on
muzzles. 1t will be too late for the
one who is hurt or killed to enforce
'the stopping ordinance after the ao=
cident. Too late! Those are awful

What I am trying to lead up to is
the stopping ordinance adopted by the
town council of Newber1y. I am told
that in the city of Columbia such an
ordinance has been adopted at a GER
tain dangerous crossing and that E
streaming sign hangs across the
street at this place, and the drivers
of cars obey it. AS to the Newberry
ordinance, it is a dead letter. A gen.
tleman told me the other day that he
heard very prominent and law-abid-
ing citizen say that he called his sons
attention to this ordinance. and that
for awhile he stopped at this cross
ing, but that no one else did and he
Quit also. understood that the young
man claimed that the ordinance had
never been published, and, therefore,
it was not law and did not have the
force of law. And that he, out of
great Drecaution, asked one of the Of
fcers, and the said officer replied
that he did not know of any such Or
dinance. What say you, Chief Bish-
op, have you private instructions not
to see violations of this ordinance?
It will be too late after some one has
been killed by the reckless driving
around this corner, to enforce the or
dinance.

Conditions are ripe to institute
la reform that will sweep through
!penal institutions around the
world. 1t is time to abolish the old
system of 'drudgery that amounts
to slave driving and begin the edu-
cation of the men behind the bars
Statistics show that we are
spending annually $4,000 to
educate out children and $780,
000,0 900 to maintain our penal in
|stitutions and grind men down into
the depths of dependency because
they have gone wrong. We are
not spending one cent to educate
those men end make them better
citizens.
Every prisoner could be given
schooling without expense to the
state. inside walls are college
professors, school teachers, bank
ers, doctors and many other skill
led and professional men. These
men could be utilized as teachers
and put in charge of classes.
The work of remodeling the
buildings as school rooms and lab
oratories could be done without
expense by the prisoners, many of
whom are skilled mechanics.
Glasses in all studies from the
primary grade to the highest col
lege branches should be formed
and the prisoners allowed to pick
the classes and studies according
to their ability to pursue them.
Within a short time you would
have discharged prisoners leaving
the institution well educated and
filled with inspiration to make bet
ter citizens. They would leave the
cell behind with a different view
of life.
From education 1t is only step
to the court of rehabilitation.
With the warden, the pardon board
and the governor always holding
the veto power the prisoners
should have the responsibility
placed upon them, should form
court to govern their conduct and
prescribe the penalties for infrac-
tons of rules. If the prisoners
were being educated and were
placed upon their honor the large
majority would strive to live up
to the expectations of those over
them.
