Next in importance to the education
of the children of the state come the
care of the convict, the lunatics, and
the deaf and the blind. These are
charges, fixed charge; that rest every
where upon the citizen and taxpayer
ana cannot be avoided. A careful
perusal of the last reports of the officers
of these institutions give us deep con
cern for their inmates are increasing
faster than population and this increase
indicates a. growing degeneracy in
mental, physical or moral condition of
our people. These retorts give much
interesting matter for there is hardly a
state m the union where similar insti
tutions are so ably and faithfully
officered. We are especially fortunate
in having such a capable - and experi
enced man as Dr. Powell at the. head
of our sanitarium. The . apprehension
is that when he dies we cannot fill his
place for we cannot find a man who has
both his ability and his lone experience.
The same can be said of Prof essor Con
nor, in charge of the school for the
deaf. These two are veterans in the
service and have , by their long and
faithful work allayed all public anxiety
about those institutions. i
But why should so-many more chil
dren be born deaf and "dumb than
formerly, and why should so many
more people become insane? Only a
few years ago Prof esser Connor re
ported 105, and now he has 215 in
charge. Do folks keep on marrying
their cousins ana will the law Keep on i
allowing it? As to the sanitarium,
there seems to be no limit, no diminu
tion of the rapid increase and as fast
more room is provided more still is
wanted.
Dr. Powell reports that on October
1, 1900, there were 1,700 whites and
742 colored on hand, and the new ap
plications now average about six per
day. Of course manytdie and -it is a
comfort to know . that many reeover
their reason and .are discharged. Two
hundred and fifty-rine whites and
ninety-four negroes were discharged
last year. One hundred and fifty -six
whites and 186 negroes died. The doc
tor gives pleasant and easy employment
to all who can and are willing to work.
He is a philosopher of my own kind
for he says he has found that work,
manual labor, is more conductive to
restoration and contentment than any
other medicine. Gardening, .sewing,
washing, canning, fruits, etc., is done
on a large 'scale. Much more of this
is done than formerly and the report
shows an immense .business. Just
think Of last year's work 1,000 aprons,
2,000 bedticks, 3,000 chemises, 1,800
calico dresses, 700 homespun dresses,
4.700 pair drawers, 4,500 piUow cases-,
5,000 pair pants, 3,800 shirts, "1,600
undershirts and quilts by the score
crazy quilts I suppose making a total
of ever 50, 'fOO Articles maue by crazy
women. Good gracious, what an in
dustrious 'female family the doctor has
eot. In. this way he has greatly
reduced the cost of maintenance and
brought down the per capita to $117
But on the other hand, he has to be
continually repairing or replacing
something, for he says "insanity means
destruction and that the tendency of a
large number of patients is to destroy
furniture, crockery, bedding, clothing,
lights, sash and sometimes tearing their
rooms to pieces.". Now just imagine
what an army of lunatics we have.
Gartersville is quite a large little coun
trv town of 3,500 people but three-
fourths of them are children underage.
We have only about 800 grown-up peo
ple who areTfit to be lunatics, but here
at the sanitarium are ' three times as
many , and the number increasing every
year.
immensely," and he proves it. It
certaiidy does among the negro race in
Georgia.
1 1 U curious to note that we hare two
counties in the stateWhite and Gil
mer that have no representative
among the convicts. There are four
counties Towns, Pickens, Banks and
Dawson that have but "one each.
There are three coun.ties Union, Mur
ray and Ita bun that have but two
each. Ho is that for gotd morals in
our most northern mountain counties,
where the school master lias not been
abroad in the land to any alarming
extent. ' :
No, the truth is that education f it
self neither lessens nor increases crime.
It depends on the moral training that
the boys gets either from his teacher or
his parents or his early associates, but
if 1is environments are bad his educa
tion makes him a more dangerous
citizen, for it enables him to cover up
and conceal his crime or to escape from
punishment in some way. It is like
throwing pearls before swine to give
the vile and vicious an education, but
we can't pick them beforehand and so
all must have a chance.
But if I was a lawmaker I would put
some penalties upon bad citizens, upon
the idle and vicious, whether white or
black. We do not allow them to have
their names in the jury box. They
cannot try a man fbr crime nor set in
judgement upon his civil rights. Why
should such men be trusted with the
ballot? Why not let the same commis
sion that makes up the jury box also
make up the ballot box? If some good
negroes get in, and some bad white
men were left out it would be.rewarding
merit and putting a penalty upon bad
citizens. Alabama and Virginia have
this question before their conventions
and we hope they will consider it wisely
and give encouragement to good cit
izens, whether they be white or black.
Good conduct should be the test. It is
more . important than education or
property. Let us purge the ballot box
just as we do the jury box'. Purge it
once a year. Put such colored men as
Gassett and Joe Brown and Tribbie in
and leave all such wliite men as Pat
Banks out. Don't shut the door for
ever on good negroes '
By the way, I wish somebody would
hunt up our cook and send her home.
She is not a "settled 'oman," and is
just gallivanting around till her spell is
off. I have to get up before I feel like
it and fife up the stove and then call
the girls and they get a good breakfast in
half an -hour. Biscuit and coffee and
hominy and fried eggs and beef steak
are good enough for anybody, but I
will have to discharge our; cook and
hire her over again and leave; out the
spell privilege. Bill Arp.

But the report of the prison commis
sion gives us most anxiety, for that
concerns crime and involves the safety
of our people from the lawless who fear
not God nor regard man. The main
tenance of the sanitarium costs the
State $275,000 annually, but there is
one good thing, and only one about the
convicts.- They cost the state nothing
after; the trial, but on the contrary they
bring in a considerable revenue, and
under the new system this revenue is
rapidly increasing. General Evans,
Mr. Eason and Mr. Turner inaugurated
thissvstem only two years ago and it
has already proved a signal success.!
The state now has the absolute control
of all its convicts and has purchased a
large farm near Milledgeville, where
the old men and the boys and all
the . women are kept. Under the
skilful management of Mr.s Fos
ter the - farm paid well the first year,
and the convicts are nearly as happy as
thev were in old slavery times. , Most
of the able bodied convicts are leased
to farmers at good prices", but the state
provides guards and medical attention.
Here ia another army of 2,300 to look
after, but these are not all. There-are
2,350 more at work in the county
chain gangs, making a total of 4,6o0,
of whom 358 are white, ten are white
wo-nen and 215 are negro women.
Of "the state .convicts for felony .907

Ninety per cent, of the negroes are be

They seem to like it. One thousand
and twenty. of these convicts are from
three counties Fulton, Chatham and
Tiihh. As Thomas Jeffeno l said,
"The influence of cities is pestilential
to good morals." It - is especially so
with negroes. The large majority of
the negro convicts are from the cities
and large towns. .
Ten years ago there were 1,100 negro
convicts and 90 per cent; of them were
wholly illiterate, could neither read nor
write. Now we have 4,300 negro con
victs and 54 per cent, can read and
write. - How is that? Does education
lessen crime or increase it? Mr. Stetsoq,

The truth is that, after the .iwar im

and mortgaged the future by issuing
bonds which they converted into cash,
the South hasn't been kept back. It

answer to the question is that the South

The July term of Wake (Superior
court for the trial of criminal causes
began yesterday, Judge lioUnson ie
s'.ding. .- :
J adg- Boliinson's charge to the grand
jury was most unique, abounding in
Irish wit and hard horse-sense, and ,
chuckf ull of humanity:
Comparing the courts of the early
English days when there were 242 of
fenses punishable by death, with thoee
of the present when there are only two
capital crimes, he said:
'.. With countless loss of life and
treasure our fathers wrested from Kirg
John at-Iiunnymede the right to trial
by jury,: And yet we hear carjaMg
pessimbts going j around besieamag
the good old days.- My only regret is
that '' they didn't live then; they
wouldn't have lived long, and we
would now be rid of them and their
breed.'.
Discussing the different degrees of
murder, and recent changes in the law,
he saul: . sands
"Many good men in the Legislature
are sometimes fooled by what are called
lobbyists hirelings that hang around
the lobbies when they ought to be over
yonder." (Pointing ia the direction
of the asylum and enitentiarry)
And further, in the same connection,
he said; : "
"The sovereign people changed the
law the men that are sovereign 36)
days in the year and never find it out
but once every two years, when some
body asks them for their votes." . ;
He warned the members of the grand
jury against permitting malignant and
frivolous prosecution:
"There is no room in the courts for
malice. The projier way for a man,
who feels himself aggrieved, to bring a
suit, is in a magistrate's court, when
the accused may facj his accuser. But
there are cases in which ho particular
person ia aggrieved offenses against
the body politic, and ther e it .is that
the grand jury must present." '
Touching tax-dodgers the judge was
outspoken and emphatic lie said:
1 know many men in .my county-
men with lots of moneywho go to the
springs in summer, while 1 stay home
and sweat, go to the warmer climes in
wi uter, while I shiver at . home, but
when you examine the tax : books
you'll think they haven't got enough
rags at liome to wad a gun. The only
balm of relief about it is that a little later
they'll get to a hot climate where they
can t move, it is a high privilege to
pay taxes and enjoy all the freedom of
such a government as this, and the
man who tries to shirk them ought not
only to be made to pay, but sent to the
roads for swearing to a he. "
The. social relations and the la wa gov
erning theui were discussed at leugth.
He said: ,
"Strange to say, the punishment for
a man who woos a virtuous s woman to
her ruin is only five years in the peni
tentiary. I have in mind now a man
tried before me in this court for just
that offense. He had done the deed
and then galloped off to Texas, and no
wretch that every dangled at the end of
rope more richly deserved his fate
than that fellow did the five years he
got. ,;:
"But therre is such a thing, also, as
seducing men. Nor is it hard to do;
but in our' high admiration for wonian
we must not lose sight of the fact, for
there are virtuous men; "if there were
not, then, indeed, would virtue perish
rom the face of the earth."
"Women is seated upon the pinnacle
of admiration and she is apt to stay
there unless she . herself gets down.
But if she dances in a man's arms a'l
night, wearing a low-cut dress, comes
away at break of day after the ball is
over, with a fellow who has decorated
his interior with a lot of gaudy material
until his brain reels has she not des
cenced from her pedestal, and is there
not something to be said for the man
who yields to the temptation?"
In charging the jury in regard to
whisky-selling, card-playing and" other
forms of gambling, J udge Bobi nson
became eloquent in his portrayal of
country life: .
"There is no greater God-given pleas
ure than that of the bright sun and
growing vegetation the singing birds
and the fresh-plowed earth. I wonder
why a boy will leave it all to come to
town and play lackey to somebody or
be jump a counter at $25 a month;
where the air is impure and temptations
are great to put his finger in the till for
money to piay cams in ine dhck room
of some infernal bar-room; where nights
are long and days are short and painted
hps invited to death.'
And the country girl, too, came m
for her share of praise, though only
by indirection, when the Judge dc
clared:
"Town girls are like summer foxes-
hard to catch and not worth much
after you've caught them."
Judge Robinson's charge was lis
tened to with closest attention by the
members of the grand jury and the
bar; thougli there were often broad
smiles at some of his bold and witty
sayings..

V K. I. tek rav dinner St U
t'nkfo ijtmem Club at New York
cttiUy to lit-nrral 1ajium Gih and
l-oer! T. Katrada Palm. Mr, fc.4r
former! r a nwtnlcf of U Cubaa
!aru of America and was ckly
iJeoiifW with the work (4 th Junta of
which ttenrrai Palm wa the bead.
The Cuban general was the hm t4
the otraaion and was warmly rwrrimL.
1 le mad a Imel Mca, wturh was
interpreted by General Gouude.
General Gomer said He was almost
touched to tears by .the remarkable re
ception he had m-rived in the L'nitd
State. He knew Cub was indebted k
the United State, but he never knew
until he came here huw uWp that debt
was that it was not merely the ot liga
tion of one iMph to Another, but of
brother to in-other. Every Cuban, born
and tired, he said, lived nd died with
the idea of Cub fibre before him, with
the hope of the people being free, and
relieved of the yoke of wirwision.
Cub nd the United butea. said the
General, belong together. It u only a
question of gravitation when they will
be one. Hat at present, after the great
struggle in which hundreds of thou
sands of lives were sacrificed and when
men returned to their home only to
find their wive and children starved
to death in the restricted barrier . in
which Weyler held them under, his
policy of reconoentralion, they felt
that they must have Cuba libre. It is
realized fully; he said, that Cub can
not get along , without the United
States, but the Cubans do want to feel
freedom.
General Gomes referred to General
Palma as the hold-over president of
Cuba, having been elected during the
insurrection of 1808, and he tointed to
his fellow Cuban as the first ttre&ident
of Cuba fibre.
General Palma made a feelicg rei Jy,
warming to tlie subject of Cuba hbre
and 8ieaking enthusiastically of thefu
ture of the Pearl of tlie Antilles.
After the dinner General Gomes said
to the newspaper men that he wished
to express hi gratitude to the press of
the United States and of the world for
the great good they have . done to the
cause of tJuba hbre. lie said that
when he came here years ago he was
very sad, but that on this visit he was
very happy and was glad to recognize
how much the American pwple had
done for the Cubans. .
He had felt a bond. of evnioathv with
the American nation when he first min
gled with its people, but he now felt
much more strongly the reality of that
bond. He was sure that the Cubans
would now establish their own govern
ment and would show how much they
feel 'gratitude for the successful help of
the Americans in removing the Spanish
yoke.
"Is there any feeling of apprehension
in Cuba with regard to the intentions of
the United States?" he was asked.
No, there is no question about it,
he replied. "Cuha trusts implicitly in
the honor of the American people.-'
What can you say as to the future
policy of Cuba?"
That cannot be answered," replied
General Gomez, "because no one can
foresee the future, but I believe that
the attitude . of Cuba will be one of
gratitude in accordance with theobliga-
tions of Cuba to the United states
"Whom do you think will be the
president of the Cuban republic?"
"I don t know, but 1 hope that it
will be General Palma."
"No, no," said General Palma, "that
is for the Cuban people to say."
Well, there are three candidates.
said General Gomez, "or rather, three
persons named, my self General Bartolo-
meo Masso and General Palma. I will
not acceiA under any circumstances.
General Palma was elected during the
ten years' war, and I hojie that he will
be elected again.
The Decay of Fopallam.
Raleigh Post.
Upon this subject the Chicago Inter-
Ocean says: "The fundamental thesis
of Populism was that everything that
exists in - society or government is
wrong. Its practical application of
this principle was that every man whose
energy and foresight have given him
more wealth than the average df his
neighbors must be a robber. Joined
with this attitude was a touching con
fidence inthe possibility of making
everybody rich, happy and moral by
legislation. Its demand that 50 cents
of silver, be made worth a dollar by
by law was only a mild specimen of its
vagaries. I
W hen Populism arose; this country
was just emerging from an orgy of real
estate speculation. Its progress was
aided by an economic crisis in the
South and by the failure of old style
agricultural methods in the arid region
of the West. Men suffering from the
collapse of "boomed" towns and from
lack of rain blamed the Government
for the results of their own folly. And
go Populism waxed and grew mighty,
liut it ran counter to the common
sense ana- sober juagmeni oi the
American people. Prosperity, declared
impossible without Popuhstic nostrums.
nevertheless returned when the people
faced existing problems in a rational
spirit. The country wearied of Pupa
!ism and now the Populist seem . to
have wearied of themselves. The party
is Vanishing into the chaos from which
it emerged." '
this is all true as to Populism as a
distinctive force; but we still have a few
who are struggling with all their might
to engraft more or less df the discarded
vargiuie of Populism, upon the Demo
cratic organism. And these a poetics
of socialism call themselves Democrats,
and hope to entrench themselves
through the plea of "holding the Popu
lists to the Democratic party." :
We will see how these plans
dangerous purposes can succeed,
can tell how how their success
result, to the Democracy.

The Burlington's Portland train ar
rived at Lincoln, "Neb., one day, hist
week with every Window pane on the
north aide of the ear. broken and with
dent half inch deep in the sides; and rTOaBwrlc
the paint almost entirely scraped away.
A furious hail storm, encountered near
Alliance last evening, did the damage.
Train men assert that hail stone
large as goose eggs fell.
The storm came up very suddenly
and the first the passengers knew of it
was when great chunks of ice . came
thundering upon the roofs and crashing
through the windows. The storm
lasted several minutes and was followed
by a rain that completely soaked the I Frmm f c hirt-liau
interior of the coaches, rendering themlwt. IW it. roa wut
uninhabitable. No cars were within
three hundred mile and most of the
night was spent uncomfortably. A
veritable panic-existed among the pas

by flying glass.
The storm occurred in the cattle
country and report received tonight
