A BETTER I)A\ FOR PRISO.NKIiiJ
A great deal IUIH been Haid and
much has beon done to HOIVO the
problem of tho prisoner who has been
convicted of crlmo and JH Hervlng his
sentence in a ponai Institution. Somo
of tho efforts to better conditions have
beon well meaning enough, but they
have not always boon rooted in sound
judgment or carried o ill with sound
common sense.
It may bo laid down aH a fundamen
tal principle of safe und orderly gov
ernment that crime riiust be punished,
for only thus can society be preserved
in lin prrigr?>H!4 tn nigger ?eve's of
living. Kidncss to prisoners and bet
tor treatment of them in the way of
Improved methods of dietetics, sanita
tion and moral Instruction, liave been
tried and have proven eminently suc
cessful. These efforts in thc main
have been a? tho seed thc husband
man sowed tm good ground, maturing
rapidly into u bountiful und satisfac
tory harvest.
There is ono method of reaching the
prisoner-and the most promising in
our judgment-thut has been tho loast
tried of ull reform Ideas. What wo
mean ls tho effort to befriend tho mau
whom the law Lias published with
stripes at tho time when ho moat
needs ii-when ho finishes his term
in prison and 1B rondy to ho turned
out Into tho world whoso law? he
lina violated. If be ever needs a
friend, it is at thin time, and some
few of thc states havo employed true
and experienced men to look after
prisoners going out from prison walis,
to get them Jobs, to revive confldenco
in their hearts, to establish friendly
relations with oilier men, and to start
tlnm again in tho world as men to
bo Judged alone by tho worthiness of
their deeds.
Tho machinery of our courts grlndB
slowly but surely, sending men by
the scores to prisons for their mis
deeds. Thia is necessary for socioty's
protection, but generally the prison
er's moral Welfare 1B lost night of as
soon as his conviction is obtained and
tho majesty of tho law vindicated. To
reclaim him before bis time is up, or
when lt ends, ii a problem that ought
to command tho best thought and thu
warmest support all good citizens,
nnd a sincere, honest und unceasing
effort should be made to give tho
down-and-out what he most needs
friends who will stick to him with
moro than cold ?p serv ? se.
Tho act passed by tho last general
assembly^ crcatlnjg^a^ atato^ board of
charities and corrections will '* take
up this important work, It ia to be
hoped, and organize it upon an ef
ficient and practical basis. It may be
that man's inhumanity to man makes
countiesa thornlands mourn, but Just
as certain lt IB that man's humanity
to man will stir the. wellsprings of
shattered character in tho hearts of
men who have broken the law and
Btart them on. the high road to de
cent and upright living.
EQUAL PAY FOB EQUAL SERVICE
? -
This lu rai old, old subject, and yet
ItB agitation today ts as new and
fresh aa lt was when, lt WOB first
Btarted. It id'one of the leading
planks in tho platform of tho now so
cial order, ofcfl slowly 'but aurely
some improvement In the ?treetion of
equality ls being made.
ThiB Introduction might very well
lead up to an ' assault >' upon * the in
equality existing between the salarlea
paid male and female teachers, but we
aro going to fall asleep nt tho switch
thia time and ' let . bur trait of our
rambling thoughts run Into a. aiding
While wo discuss something entirely
different.
A very gross inequality .exista In the
matter of the -compensation paid to
county officials. Some of -the officers,
like those of the o up ervin or, the sup-,
erin tondent of education and others,
aro paid a straight salary, while
others aro baaed partly or. wholly on
the fee system. . Tho - method of pay
ment'works an injustice, aa some ot
our hardest working offlclala, whose
positions are largely administrative,
are getting a torry pittance when
compared with the compensation,re
ceived by others ont of fees.
The fee system ia regarded too lib
tie in the tight of a burdon beean ac
it la an indirect tax, and yet tho fees
come out of the people Just as much
aa the taxes they pay directly ont of
their pockets for the support of state
and county government. What we
really need la to ascertain what; tho
offices.' actually pay and then; place
them all or. Balarles straight. In this
'.way enmity of compensation for ser
vices rendered could be brought about,
and the county would be able to wave
money in the' administration of- its
affairav'': .'. ?
; - The fee system Is out of date. ; ;It
w-ia origin ally based upon conditions
that ?^-'*>??t:'ot harmony with; condl
tl?na' anch'aa. wa have today. It is
undemocratic and unfair j and.it ought
to. be atoltaaeu. -
MACK TO THU LAM)
"Ulick to the land" 1B a cry that
linn boen shouted through m?gaphone?
und heralded with the heating of tom
toniB for a long timo hy thone who
are deeply concerned over the grad
ual movement of people from tho
rural districts to the cities. That the
cry ha? not been heeded to any con
siderable extent, is causing econo
mists ti put on their thinking caps
and try to figure out tho reason that
their words have falen on unrespon
sive ears.
Tho reason In apparent to those
who stop to think. Peoplo are not
going to leave the easier life of thc
city to go hack to tho farms until the
opportunities on tile farms are as in
viting as they are in town, or until
tho prospect of making conditions sin
bright or brighter aro shown moro
conclusively than r-'ioy aro to Jay.
Agriculture is undergoing a slow
revolution, but only the surface has
been touched, as lt were, in Btirrlng
up the rich soil of progress. If pres
ent activities continue as they ure
now being conducted in this and other
staten, the turning point will soon bo
reached, and then men end women,
especially the younger set, will be
eager to go to the farms where more
freedom, more advantages of a health
ier sort, and moro genuine happiness
can bc enjoyed. Tills time will come,
hut lt has not yet arrivod.
High-sounding word? and iridescent
pen pictures arr ?00 often employed
to paint conditions that do not exist,
and this habit of glossing over thc
truth has boen hurtful. Farm life
must he mado profitable and more at
tractive, for upon its full development
depends our prosperity aa a people.
Will wo let it como in (South Carolina,
or will wo permit it to bo held In
check by reactionary forces?
PREJUDICE
Somo obscure ourly English writer
speaks .of prejudice as the child of
ignorance. His definition is simpler
and more to tho point than tho ones
in the dictionary, for It hits the nail
squarely on the head while the learn
ed men who compilo our word vocab
ularies usually miss tho mark and
bruise their thumbs in trying to con
vey to ?B the subtleties of meaning.
Prejudice atalks bis brazen form in
to the church, into every social gath
ering, into politics, and into all hu
man efforts especially that are di
rected towprd the accomplishment of
good. The best of men fall a victim
to Hs baneful influence, and, ar, for
tho women-oh, well, wo don't wont
to stir up anything just at this time.
When the war is over, wo will borrow
a Bhoet or two of armor plate and
whisper a few things from a distance
anent this phase of the subject
Prejudice has a full opportulty for
the display of its talents in political
life. If prejudice rules your actione
and you belong to a faction, or if you
ore a i?yod-ln-the-\vool partisan . ol
some skilful and magnetic apostle ol
the wind, all that your faction 01
friend does has the stamp of right
eousness upon it, signed, scaled and
deliverod. But If the wicked party on
tho othor side should happen to pass
out certified checks when the game
ls rained out, or if by some magic ol
government he should open tho treas
ury and f~iy you ilvo dollars a pound
for your dogtall cotton, you would
loso your religion in showering upon
bim a deluge of abuse smelling ot
brinies tone-all because ho ts youl
"enemy." You would seo him woj
down in some naughty place before
you would admit that he didn't have
horns and hoofs a shade moro hor
rible than the gentleman who reigns
over the place you referred to.
You would he honest-how rlght
esiusly honest you would bo!-ai; e.
you couldn't bo made to seo but one
way even If truth should rise up anil
ehow you a diagram of your error.
Prejudice makes a rvun blind to hi?
own faults, but magnifies the little
shortcomings of others into acts ol
supreme tragedy and injustice: It,ii
a disease that ls hard to euro, be
cause when the'optician comes arounc
to pluck it out of the yietlm'a ey^
the victim gets mad and swears that
his vision is free from lt and as elem
os the noonday sun.
Aa the old English writer said
prejudice ls tho child of ignorance, lt
Is also the father ot much of the in
justice and cruelty and suffering . Ic
tho world today.

OUTHERN CHINA
BALKS AI PLAN
FOB MH1Y
Canton, China, Sept. 5.-Southern
China doep not take kindly to the
movement to make Yuan Shi-kai em
peror. Southern China, in fact, sel
[ dom takea kindly to any movement
emanating trom the northern pan of
?he republic. But ?be restoration o?
thu empire in a project especially dis
tasteful to tim great commercial cen
ter of southern China. Most'of thc
wealth of China ls centered here and
in Hong Kong and Shuiighal. Tho
Cantonese have always been ex
tremely Independent. They financed
and encouraged the two recent revo
lutions.
Many progressive Cantonese have
become extremely wealthy through
the development of the mines in the
Strait settlements. Others have
made great fortunes In Java. And
most of tlie wealthy Chinese In fae
United Slates are from tho Canton
neighborhood. Many of those men.
aro reformers who back their views
with money.
Even before tho society for the
preservation of peace set forth its
plan for tfa'e restoration of th? em
pire, there was extremo dissatisfac
tion with General Lung, tho military
governor named by President Yuan
Shl-kal to direct alfair3 in Canton.
War conditions made business bad.
Then tho floods caine and intensified
the unrest. While inspecting the
damage.; dono by thc flood, General
Lung was injured Ly a bomb hurled
at him by a reformer. A few days
later two bombs were found In lils
house which had been smuggled In by
a cuok bribed by reformers.
Gonoral Lung has 2.~>,000 troops In
tho vlcinlt yof Canton and the Yuan
Shl-kal government lias been able to
pay them regularly so fnr. Rut In
China alitro is always tiie danger that
an enemy will offer more money and
win away tho military and naval
forces. This happened before lu Can
ton, and If Die wealthy reformers were
to advance sufficient money to finance
the opponent? of tho imperial move
ment forolgnoru residing here ore
apprehensive of tho results. 1
Southern China has been under the
influence of Hong Kong so long, and
through ita extensive foreign trade
is so closoly In touch with the out
sldo world, that lt resents the domi
nation of northern China. Tho de
sire for a,separate government in
Southern China is always uppermost
in the minds of the reform element.
Reformers seek every exause to ad
vance their views and are seizing up
on the movement to restore tho em
pire as a reason for reviving their
efforts to throw off the control of
-what they regard as the more back
ward section of" the country.
Shanghai, Nanking, Hankow and
tho other cities along tho Yang-tse
kiang are well under control ot the
Peking government. Warships pat
rol the Yang-tse-kiang river and it is
easily accessible by rall from Peking.
The pearl River la moro remote. Can
ton and other cities along this
stream aro not aci flblo by rall from
Peking. Forts mo:-? this river are
located in a dens'.!/ settled country,
where there are many roformors who
have in the past seized the forts and
defeated naval movement against
Canton.
Evjery precaution is taken now to
protect Canton against revolutionists.
Ti;e baggage of passengers arriving
either by rail or water from Hong
KOng is carefully searched. Chinese
men and. women aro examined ' thor
oughly to make sure they have no fire
arms nor bomba, upon their persons.
Apparently there Is no effective
leadership for the sentiment against
the rest ci a ti on of tile empire. Sun
Yat-scn ls thoroughly discredited In
Canton and all' southern China. , The
reformers . believe he tricked ?hem
and pay no attention to the movement
against President Yuan Shl-kal which
tb 1B attempting to promote from
Tokio.
No other individual looms big in tho
aati-governmont movement up to the
present time, but lt has the t .up po rt
of many guilde which aro constantly
opposing tho Peking government, re
gardless of its chief executive.
Wily Mother.
A mother in 'Newcastle, England,
according to Tit-Bite, sent her,.little
boy on an orrond, and sold:
"Now, Harry, wo to Smith, tho
grover in Nob th umber! and street, and
cet a pOundt of. tho best treacle," said
she handed tba young hopeful a
couple of Jugs. When tho boy ?? had
gone, the vicar's'wife said:
"Youn. didn't, toll hun to get any
thing 1 nthe other jug. Ia be going

'"No, ma'am, ho's gann'u' to .brine
