Director Kerr and The
Reformatory
GEN. COX IN RALEIGH
A Bill will be Introduced In
the North Carolina Legls
lslature Providing for
Compulsory Edu
cation
Raleigh, N. C. Dec. i »,
The plan of Director Kerr, of the
State prison hoard, looking to the
establishment of a reformatory for
young criminal* in this Mate ought
to be successfully carried through.
This plan is in brief to devote the
net earnings of t e penitentiary or
as much as shall be needed, to the
building and maintenance of the re
formatory.
We are so ly that some of Mr.
Kerr's associates in the manage
ment of the penitentiary are op
posed to his excellent idea, and we
hope they can be in iuced to with
draw their oppoaition.
Since writing the above we find
the following in the Charlotte Ob
server on the same subject:
"That appears to be an excellent
idea. There is something repulsive
about a State making money out of
its criminals, and this use of funds
accruing from their labor seems to
lie most appropriate. The fact thai
there is oppoaition to the plan on the
part of members of the board is to
be regretted, for the State certainly
needs a place for its youthful crim
inals, and a direct appropriation by
the Legislature for such | purpose
is indeed doubtful."
North Carolina is behind her sis
ter States in this particular matter
and it ia not consistent that she shall
remain so; for we are in advance of
many Statea in other important mat
ters of public policy.
The objection that has been rais>
ed, when thin reformatory matter
was before the Legislature a few
years ago to the effect that the in
matea of such an inatitution would
be chiefly composed of young ne
groes, ought not to be allowed to
defeat tha efforts now making in
renewing the aggitation of the
subject.
f course the two races could,
and ahould, be separated, and the
(jeneml Assembly can easily find a
way to accomplish that end.

I used a few bottles of it and it is
the only thing that has relieved me.
Would not be without it' Have
doctored with local yhysicians and
also at Chicago, and even went to
Norway with hopeaof getting some
relief, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is
the only remedy that has done me
