A LOOK AT THE DARK
SIDE
Some folks cannot clow (heir «y«
to the dark side of life as a part of
the paxmnfr day. Wc happen to b«
in that class. To illustrate: Rev. Mr.
Mrvin, Methodist preacher of this city,
and ye editor, went out for a drive
one day last week and carried the
preacher's two small sons along to
rive them the pleasure of the outing.
The drive was over the new Fancj^
Gap road and up the mountain where
the new construction is in progress.
The little boys were thirsty and we
stopped by a mountain spring near
where a bunch of convicts were at
work. A white man was at the
spring and we asked for a drink for
the boys. While he was serving them
from k bright dipper, just to make
talk, we made some remark about
the fine road. That started him to
talking. He appeared to be a man
of intelligence, forty years o? age,
one «oukl have taken him for a boss
or engineer or in some responsible
position with the new construction.
While he dipped up water for the
little boys he remarked that he him
self was a convict. We asked if he
thought he would be able to live
through hi* term of prison without
becoming embittered and be able to
take up life again when free. He
anwered by saying that he thought
he could if he could live until his
term expired. And then he went on
to talk in a serious tone, but without
a show of bitterness or resentment,
and said in sulwtance something like
the following. He made a mistake
and cot into prison. He belonged to
one of the best families in the State
of Virginia and was simply the victim
of a mistake. He did not apologise
for having made the mistake, but he
repeated the fact that it was the
making of a mistake that caused his
fall. Now to be able to live through
his term of imprisonment is his
problem. He is a man of education
and refinement, not accustomed to
hard labor, and the authorities of the
State of Virginia intend that he be
given light work, but he is being re
quired to do work with a pick and
shovel and it is too much for his
strength. As evidence of this he
showed his hands and they bora evi
dence of sunburn or some skin affec
tion. We asked him if he had appeal
ed to the higher authorities far re
lief and he said he was hoping to get
his case to their attention. About
that time a passing automobile
brought the conversation to an end
and we drove on up the mountain and
the convict in cttiaeas clothes went
back to his pick and shovel to take
We place along with the bwly negro
and the strong man who can do the
work required with but a minimum
the punishment that ear white
eenvict can perform R.
