A REFOBM ATOKY PERSON AL pointers; Jtor Ifortn Carolina Heeded Argrn ment In Its Favor By a Lady Wrltr Read at a Heeling; of the ulia Sfagruder Book Club. The 1 following original paper was recently read by a member of the Julia Magruder Book Club, the subject for the meeting being "Living Question's :" who in perhaps even of sore tiro vocation. committed a rash WJ to rall Attorney C W Tilletf, of Char, which he wonld diva All in lotte, is in the bar today, having A- -o . i i i come over on account of the case of Yoir give. jdui sentenced to r . , v. . a ...

Perhaps not, apparently, one immediately interesting to a woman's book club, but certainly interesting to women in general. It is a question which has, or will, come before our State Legis lature now in session, and I for one earnestly hopo that a bill may be passed requiring and pro viding for the establishment of one at the earliest possible time. We are all eagerly interested in the improvement and extension of our educational system, and most justly so, for education is the foe of ignorance which is so product ive of lawlessness and vice.; But our sehools do not furnish all we need for the prevention of crime. And our jails and j penitentiaries, howeyer indispensable they may be as a punishing agency, do not, I think, furnish the only, nor in many cases the best, mode of cor rection. In thecase -of- old -and hardened criminals there ' may be no other or better means of pun ishment as admeasure of "preven tion. But would not a reforma tory, wisely planned, and ju diciously managed, greatly lessen the number ot old and hardened criminals. I am no sentimental ist in regard to criminals. "As ve sow so shall ve reap" is a law not only inevitable but just and good. I.believe it is right that punishment should follow wrong doing. But even as the Divine Ruler tempers justice with mercy, and offers to his erring children renewed opportunities of repent ance and reformation before the last stern, irreyocaole fiat of con demnation is pronounced, even so I believe the sovereign State should .' deal -with trespasser against her just and Jbeneficent laws. In how many, many cases . is the offender, young, thoughtless and misguided, rather than de liberately wicked ? It is right and just that some penalty shall be meted out even in the least aggravated of these cases. But should not the, State seek to re claim rather than to severely pun ish these comparatively innocent offenders? Should she not make a strong effort to win them back .to f?ood-citizenship and upright . o . . ' lives? But is there any rational hope of doing this under our ; present system ? The common .jail, the convict's camp, the peni tentiary, all filled with criminals more or less debased and hope lessly hardened ready to lead them on in the paths of wicked ness, to encourage by word and example in the downward path deed for the correction and im provement of a poor, thoughtlesp; it may be, naturally, weak boy, State prisons; with on his t0, Pleasant to ho,d SfSlTll UD O iCflueDCo for good, it qterly conference. - .

Surely there must be some means by which these terrible results may, in some cases at least, be prevented. And if there be one, the law-makers of ! the tState are responsible before God for their neglect or misuse of it.
