THE SOUL.OF "A CONVICT.

You people who speak of religion
OF Christianity you come to tell
When we are good our souls go to
Heaven,
When we are bad our souls go to
He'll.
Now there is a few questions l want
to ask you,
Before you begin to preach,
And if you can't answer these Ques-
Don't start for my souls out of reach.
I was taught the Bible from child
hood
AT mothers knee learned to pray;
l was taught Of God and His good
ness;
OF the devil and his evil ways.
But I've found through hard earned
experience,
We're all brothers beneath the skin,
There's good in the bad, bad in the
good,
But we're all here to win.
Now these questions I'm going to ask
May sound foolish you will laugh and
say,
But they wouldn't sound so foolish
If you could see it in my way.
Just imagine yourself the judge our
God,
AS you gaze over all these men,
When death takes its toll what be-
comes Of the souls
Of the men who die in the pen?
Do you think God who is true ana
just
Could look down from his Heavenly
Throne,
And see men placed in stripes and
chains,
And dragged from their loved ones
and homes.
And l imagine that He will tell us,
When we meet at the golden stairs:
Hells not for men who die in the
But for the people who put tn en-
there.
We are paying for our mistakes and
sins
We are having our drugs Of life
We are the underdogs of humanity
And surely He want ask us to pay
twice
And on that great day Of judgment,
| imagine He'll have all the convicts
called in
And He'll tell us true He'll is not
for YOU
You have had your He'll in tie pen.

Workers Nav
Get Old Age
Pay At IS

Raleigh, Nov. 7.-Shortly before
Christmas, 1927 men and women in
North Carolina are going to be mott
fled that they may be entitled to
monthly old-age insur; sce checks for
the rest Of their lives, Stacey W.
Wade, manager Of the Social Security
Board field office at Raleigh, an
nounced today. Approximately 200 Of
ethis number live in the seven coun-
ties serviced by the Raleigh office,
he said.
Mr.. Wade explained that this
notice will be sent to those to whom
lump-sUm benefits have been paid
since the Federal old-age insurance
system was established January |,
1887 The amended Act, he said,
moves the date for monthly bene-
fits up two years to 1910 and makes
it possible for wage Garner to quail
fly after he is IS years old, even If
he has already received a single cash
settlement.
Beginning January 1, 1910, quail
fled annuitants will receive monthly
benefits instead Of the lump-sum pay
ment provided under the present law.
''This means" said Mr. Wade, chat
the age barrier to obtaining Federal
retirement insurance has been remoV
ed. Even the man who was already
IS when the old-age insurance sys-
tenn was set up and who therefore
has never been under the Federal
program may now qualify for month
ly benefits. TO qualify for retirement
insurance in 1910, it will be neces-
sary for him to show that he has
worked in six calendar quarters and
received during each three-month
period, at least $50 in wages and has
retired"
Mr.. Wade explained tia Il man
has already received a lump-sum it
will be deducted from the monthly
payments which will be paid him.
