Lady Correspondent Writes of the
Reformatory idea.
Tvtk. Idllnrof TheJuarul:
To build or not to build (a reform
atory) that is the question, I believe.
I don't think the county should be
taxed to support, or even to help
support, the reformatory should one
be built. I think alter the grounds
and buildings are furnished for it,
that the young criminals pent there
should be made to work enough to
make their own support They
could work enough by working so
many hours in the day or so many
davs in the week to earn a plenty of
food and good enough clothes for
themselves, and then have time
enough left to secure some "book
learning I think it would be a
mistake to furnish a bad boy even
half of his" suriDort free when there
are thousands of good, honest boys
all over the country who have to work
for a living. No wonder the boys
went back to that Chicago reforma
tory, for a second and third term if
they had such a good time there.
As to the plan for hiring them out
to the farmers, excuse, us please. I
am aware mat larra larwr is a
much needed, much desired thing,
but when it gets to the pass that we
are obliged to take boys who are too
mean to stay anywhere else, then 1
want me and my household to quit
farming. Why, if we had a boy
like that hired, e could never trust
him to hunt eeta in the hay loft ;
and then he might work for awhile,
and some night when the grass was
finely growing in the cotton he
might "fold his tent and silently
steal away" and leave us to fight the
battle alone. And then if we com
pelled him to come back to work we
might wake up some morning, and
find, to our utter astonishment, that
that the house was burned down
over our heads, or we might wake up
some morning with a load of shot in
us. Dio, you may put your baa boy
on the chain-gang, or in the peni
tentiary, or in a reformatory, or you
miKht hire him to ' piay in your
own back yard," but you can't put
him on us. No, sir, when we can t
make any better arrangements than
that we will sell out our farm and
quit. Edna . ruNDRRBt'RK.
BOMB raCT ON TUB SUM BIT.
All the discussion of this ques
tion shows that there is much hazi
ness in the minds of most of us who
write of tho subject, as to just what
reformatory is. Tho following
facts from the Elm City Mirror are
interesting: The Journal.
"There are more than one hu ndred
reformatories in this country, all
working successfully. The fore
most states in this work are Cali
fornia, Connecticut, Indiana,! Uinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachu
setts, Minnesota, New York, New
Jersey, New Hampshire, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Tennessee and Virginia.
hy is North Carolina not on this
list? Her boys are as well worth
saving as any others, her men and
women as philanthropic, and yet her
criminal children are either hard
ened in crime by association with
those more vicious than themselves
or have to be sent to other states for
reformation.
That there may be no doubt of the
duty and expediency of having a re
form school in this state, we men
tion the following statistics:
The majority of states declare that
they save 75 per cent of the delin
quents in their reformatories. The
percentage is much larger in cases
of youthful than adult offenders. In
some cases "JO per cent and more o!
the youthful criminals are reclaimed.
In Nashville, lenn., a citizen in
presence of the reform school, stated
that of 1,300 of its inmates, only 11
bad been known to return to criminal
life.
From the house of refuge, Cincin
nati, we learn that the number of
good reports received from the boys
after leaving the institution, is ill
per cent, rrora Brooklyn we are
told that 83 per cent of juvenile
criminals are reclaimed, and only
10 per cent of adults.
I here can be no doubt, then, oi
our duty to educate, morally and
mentally, our juvenile offenders. As
a matter of economy, money is saved
to the State by doing so. A boy is
fed. clothed, taught and reclaimed in
a reform school at a cost of $ 1(X) a
year. A sheril! is paid if 100 annu
ally for feeding him only. If the
wealth of a btate depends upon its
producers, we increase that class by
saving the boys and converting them
into workingmen, sua in liRe man
ner diminish the number of consu
mers who have to be fed and guarded
in the jails.

fir. Patrick's Ptaa lor Helping Boys
Tut'DI? im talk nt whw-l
country bred boys go to the citiea
and take the DuaiD and profes
sional prixea oat of the hands of the
city boys. One of the many re
sons ia that the country boy learns
to do things with his bands as well
as with his head. Kecognixiog this
tact, Mr. John T. I'atnck has be
gun a very simple scheme to induce
parent in Anson county to see that
on each premise there is a full set
of sharp tools for the boys to Han
dle. Mr. Patrick says:
"In Anson county we have bom
than two thousand boys. If the
A. aud M. College at Raleigh could
accommodate oue thousand boys,
then Anson, Union, Stanly, Mont
gomery and Richmond counties
would not be entitled to more than
ten boys each. Then oue thousand,
nine hundred and ninety boys in
each of the counties would be left
untrained, even if they had the
money to go to Iialeigh, and it takes
more than one hundred dollars a
year for a boy to be able to pay bis
way at the A. and M. college.
"Is there any way to help over
come this drawback to the progress
of the Southf Is there any way for
the poorest farmer in the South to
help educate his boy to earn more
money, to become a practical me
chanic, a practical manufacturer!
Yes, there is. Let each farmer own
a set of tools, and have the boys
build a workshop or have some
outbuilding or room in which to
keep the tools and work in during
rainy daya Home farmers who rent
the land and home in which they
live may not feel able to own a full
set of tools, but a set costing not
more than teu to fifteen dollars will
go a long way towards educating
the boys, and such tools they ran
have by paying part rash aud a
monthly payment for the balance.
Every father and mother want
their boys to be useful men; to be
men who can earu money and own
their own homes.
"I am going to illustrate. I am
going to take as my subject the late
Robert Delierry, a colored man,
whom every man around Wadea
boro knew as a peaceable, law-
abiding colored mau. Robert had
a set of ordinary carpenter tools.
Today such a set could be bought
for ten dollars. He allowed bis
boys to use the tools and they grew
up to know how to saw boards,
drive nails and build bouses. A
few months since I saw one ol
Robert's boys, Jim, working in an
adjoining city. I asked the con
tractor what wagea he was paying
Jim, and he said, 'Two dollars and
twenty-five cents a day.' At that
rate Jim was earning seven hun
dred and four dollars and twenty-
Ave cents a year working each day.
If he worked over time be got more
thau that amount The outcome is
that Jim is a landowner. He owns
the home bis family live in and
has three neat little cottages, well
kept and nicely painted, that be
rents out If Robert DeBerry had
not owned that ten dollars' worth
of tools, his son Jim would have
been living in a rented home and
working for less than one-half of
the wagea be is able to earn todiry.
"It is within the power of every
father and mother to help their
boys become able to earn more
money than they would earn by a
simple school education. Tbey can
help them to be homeowners, larni
owners, mechanics ana manniac
turers. And in helping the boys
they are helping the girls and them
selves. A set of tools on the farm
means more comforts around the
home, better bousing for the cattle
and horses, therefore better to work
and prettier horses to drive. With
a set of tools the boys and the girls
for I know of many girls who
can handle the saw and hammer if
they are given the chance would
make many labor saving devices
for the kitchen and farm, I hey
would have homes that the boys
and girls would be more contented
to stay at than they are today.
The young people of the country
want to live in town because the
town homes are prettier. With a
set of tools the young people would
do much towards making the home
just as beautiful as the homes in
town."

SE1.FISHM4W always defeats itself.
Things are so constituted in
this world that we cannot board the
best thiugs for self. If we do, we
lose them. The best qualities evap
orate from money when we try to
board it in a miserly way. We
tnuat pass it along, make ft do some
Vhing aseful, make it help some
body before we can get the best out
of it As long as we are selfish
with it, it strangles growth and de
terioratea character. We are small
er and meaner fur the holding.
People who try to keep, for them
selves, al the good thiugs of life:
their sympathies, their helpfulness,
their eueou ragement, their serv ices,
their beat things, lose them.
We are so constructed that we
cannot board our good things with
out barm to ourselves aud lues to
others. They must be pawed along
the first opportunity, or they will
be lost to ourselves aa well as to
others.
We are so constituted that we
cannot enrich ourselves so much
by direct self giving as by giving
to ethers. It is the reflex action
from our giving that enriches us.
If we hoard aud bold our good it
evaporates. The ouly way to make
it ours permanently is to help oth
ers first
It seems to be a law of life that
we lose what we are stingy of and
try to retain; bat whatever we give
we retain. By some strange alchemy
it becomes our own. What we give
away and give royally, magnani
mously, with a helpful spirit, be
comes ours.
There is nothing so hollow, so
disappointing, as a selfish, greedy
life. It does not matter bow much
money a man has, if he does not
care for his fellownien, if be baa a
stony heart, if his affections are
marblelzed, he does not arouse any
admiration or lovj he eujoys no
real happiness.
This is a good time to open hearts
and purses, to begin to live the life
of freedom, of kindness, of gener
osity, and of unselfish love. The
spirit of Christmas is the spirit of
the Christ to give freely, unstint
edly; to give of one's treasure, of
oneself, without hope of reward.
A great many people thiuk that
because tbey ai not able to give
Christmas gifts, because they ran
not give money or what it will buy,
they can give nothing. How little
we realize that the best thing any
body cau ever give in this world is
not money, not clothing, fuel or
provisions, but himself.
I know a lady who is very poor.
She has no money to give the poor
at Christmas. But she goes around
for days before Christinas visiting
every person she bears of being
sick or crippled or unfortunate,
everyone who has any trouble,
whether she knows him or not
And she gives out such a wealth of
love, of sympathy, of encourage
ment good cheer and sunshine,
that these people feel enriched for
a whole year. The material things
they receive are cold and unsympa
thetic in comparison with what
this poor woman gives them. On
the other band, I know a man,
wealthy but selfish, whose con
science begins to trouble him just
before Christmas, and he sends out
checks, coal, clothing, provisions

Onr Hum. ,
A few years ago, when there was
a financial panic, lots of people lost
their lands under mortgage. Dur
ing that period we heard a farmer
say to his family: "We are not
going to mortgage our farm we'll
live on just plain bread and water
before we'll uo it" His argnmcnt
was that if the land was mortgaged
and sold under the hammer, there
would have to be some hard living
after the land wits gone, and it was,
therefore, beat to let the hard liv
ing begin beforehand and keep the
land. It is sometimes a good in
vestment to buy land and secure
the payments with the land itself,
but it is never good business sense
to give a mortgage on land that is
paid for, just to get the means to
bridge over a panic. Hotter move
off the land aud work for wages
than to mortgage the land, sacrifice
it nnder the hammer and then have
to work for wages and start again.

Aa Incendiary 5peech at a Colored
Y. M. C A. in New York At
lanta Riot the Theme.
Krw Yurk Tlam. Srd
The colored Young Men's Chris
tian Association in Fifty-third
street was crowded yesterday to
hear P. Sheridan Ball tell what he
saw of the Atlanta race riot Mr.
Kali ia president of the New York
Metropolitan Kealty Company, and
is prominent in bis race in ew
Yoik. He said that the best peo
ple of the South regretted the out
rages no let thau his own people.
He attacked Senator Tiluian amid
great applause.
"Instead of the good white peo
ple being so anxious to educate our
people iu the South," he said, "if
they paid more attention to edu
cating the poor whites of the
South, then we would have less of
these troubles between the races."
He said that be thought that
formed a large part of the prob
lem. It was not ouly the iguo
rance among his own people, but
the iguorauce of the poor whites
that brought about such a tragedy
as the oue in Atlauta. Much as he
deplored the riot and the killing of
innocent persons, be said be felt
that much good bad come from it
He was satisfied.he said, that never
again would Atlauta lie the thea
tre of such scenes. He believed it
was now one of the safest citiea in
all the South.
"No colored man knew anything
about tbe outbreak until 9 o'clock
at night," Ball began. "Yet in
the late afternoon oue of the most
prominent citizens of Atlanta, ou
leaving the largest barber shop
run by a colored man iu the South,
said to him : '1 don't feel very
well ; I wish you would accompany
me home.' The proprietor did so.
When he reached the white man's
home tbe citizen said: "Now, here,
you stay right here with me. There
is going to be trouble in tbe city
to-night, and you keep out of sight
until it's over.' The man did so,
and no doubt it was the best thing
to do, for many of the barbershops
run by colored nieu were attacked
by the mob that uight
"It is a singular thing that of
those who were the victims of the
Atlanta mob not oue had ever been
in jail or had been arrested. They
had never done anything worse
than do au houest day's work. It
may be remarked iu pawing that
most of the blood that was spilled
in the riot was spilled about the
monument of Henry W. Grady.
"We ought to be broad enough
not to indict the whole South for
the Atlanta outrage. The good
people of the South had no more
to do with it than J. Piermont
Morgan had to do with race riots
in this city in the civil war.
"There is too much attention
paid to the colored people in tbe
South at compared to the absolute
lack of attention paid to the poor
whites. The ignoraut whites were
behind the Atlauta outrages. Yet
we cannot and must not indict the
white race. Yet if we steal even a
chicken the whole race is held up
to scorn and contempt I am not
here to condone tbe meanness in
my race, nor excuse the criminals
within it, but I do not want to see
college presidents and professors
dragged in when there is a denun
ciation of some colored offender.
"Let me say that from my knowl
edge of the way the fighting was
done in Atlanta that the biggest
set of cowards are the poor white
people of the South. They at
tacked ouly one colored man in
the Atlanta troubles. v ben tbe
soldiers arrived and the mob was
scattered, then tbe killing of the
colored jieople stopped. Unless
thev were together they dared not
raise their hand agaiust anybody.
"Next time a thing of this char
aeter breaks out there will be
some wholesale murders no ques
tion about it The colored people
cannot get tbe protection tbey
want: there are places in the
South they dare not go after dark.
W hy, I am informed that on one
route into the South, seventy-five
revolvers are being carried every
few days. Tbey are going to the
colored people. They are putting
their money into weapons of de
fense instead of land.
And there is Senator Tillman.
He is making money how did he
make what he nasi
"Yet Tillman couldn't be elected
to anything in South Carolina if it
rested with the blue bloods of tbe
State. He keeps in power be
cause he tells the poor and nnedu
cated whites that if a blue blood
gets in, their taxes will go up. His
useful Dees, be says, consists in nis
ability to keep the negroes down
And be gets away with it Ana
in this way he will be kept in the
Senate, and nobody ran get his
seat away from him. Tillman is
shrewd enough to make his stock
in trade his antagonism to tbe col
ored people.'
