The fon viet System,
Tho bill having beeu introduced in the
llouse of Representatives to regulate the
working of convicts hired out from tbe
penitentiary by which the supervision,
cuatro) ana punishment of such convicts
is given to a deputy superintendent
appointed by the State and to be paid
by the parties hiring the convicta through
the penitentiary, the committee charged
with the bill reported unfavorably.
When it came up fot action on Tu .vday,
the 9th inst., Mr. Haskell moved to lay
the report on the table and take up the
bill, which was done.
Mr. Hempbill moved to strike out the
enacting clause.
Mr. Haskell said that the Bill was
almost identical with one which the
House bad passed almost unanimously at
its last session. This measure was not
designed to prevent the hiring out of the
convicts-that is manifestly impossible
nt the present timo on account of tho
inadequate accommodations for convicts
within tho walls of the penitentiary. 'It
is a fact that the deaths among convicts
hired out without the control and super
vision of the Superintendent was over
thirty per cent., while, under such super
vision, the death rate wax only seven per
cent., and it was only tho demand of
humanity that a system which produced
such results should be remedied, if pos
sible.
Mr. Lee of Sumter opposed the bill
and boped that tho enacting clausa would
bo stricken out.
The vote was then taken on tho mo
tion to strike out, end the result, when
announced by the Speaker was, yeas 45,
nays 45. Tho Speaker voted nay and
the effort to kill the measure tailed.
Then came the n ost earnest, protract
ed and able debates,: which have yet
occurred in tho Hoare, displaying on
both sides a mastery of tbe subject iu all
its aspects, and a common purpose,
though by different methods, to secure a
more humane management of tte; con
vict M.
Mr. I Icm phill said that the bill vir
tually destroyed the system of hiring out
convicts, for it hedged nbout the hiring
with conditions so onerous ns to act as
an absolute bar to the making of con
tracts for their hire outside of the peni
tentiary.
' Mr. Haskell bad hoped that tho neces
sity would not have been forced on tho
friends of this measure to lift the curtain
upon ono of the darkest pictures which
haB disgraced the history of our State
Government. Bui. he was impelled to
state the truth in this matter so plainly
that members would be compelled to face
the responsibility which a vote on this
question would involve. He gave facts
and figures respecting tho murderous re
uuli8 of the prevailing system-a Ryotcm
BO appalling in its operation that tv.-o of
the Judges had been compelled to say
that they shrank with horror from the
duty of sentencing convicts to the peni?
tentiary. He admitted that the bill was
but the first step in a reformation which
was intended to lead ultimately to the
employment of these convicts within tbe
walls of the penitentiary, but the primary
consideration of the advocates of the
bill was humanity to linn unfortunate
class, which the State waa bound in their
utter helplessness to protect them from
the inevitable results of this bloody sys
tem. If he could contribute to tbe
overthrow xif this system, and the ame
lioration of this unfortunate class, he
would feel that be had done more in the
service of tbs State than be bad ever
boped to accomplish, and he appealed to
the higher sentiment of philanthropy
and Christian duty of the members ol
tho House, not to forego tbe opportunity
which tho hill presented of wiping out
so foul a blot from tbe proud escutcheon
of the State.
Mr. Blake nf Abbeville opposed the
views of Mr. Haskell, taking the ground
that the very evils ?o eloquently portrayed
by him and worse had, in tbe experience
of the Western penitentiary manage
ment, resulted from hiring out the con
victs. Incurable and loathsome diseases
contracted within the prison bad thin
been disseminated through the commu
nity outside, mid the policy of leasing
out was every where being abandoned.
Mr. Raysor,'supporting the bill, said
it was important to the State that thc
Eenitenliary should be self sustaining
ut he was confident that there was nc
one in the House who would have it sc
at the expense of the humane treatment
of the unfortunate criminals who wen
the subjects of its discipline. There
could be no doubt that under the con
tract system great wrongs and enormitiei
had been committed and fros? pas
experience be regarded it as absolutely
necessary for the protection of the con
vieta that certain restrictions should bi
thrown around their management whet
outside tbe walls of the penitentiary. I
would not destroy the contract system ti
do so, as the lessees now have to em'
ploy guards to supervise the convicto
and the bill only makes the, guard
directly responsible to the Superintend
ent and appointed by him.1
Mr. Lee said, if the underlying mo
tive of the bili was that of humanity ti
leased convicts, as claimed by its author
then it should prevent the leasing o
convicts entirely ; but the bill does uo
?impose to do thin, but continues am
egalizes such hiring, but .under sud
harsh restrictions as practically calls ii
all leased convicts and insures them em
ploy ment on the Columbia Canal. Tb
inconsistency of the author of tho bil
can only be explained by himself. I
the leased convicta wero called in, i
must result tn overcrowding tho peni ten
tiary, and in the language of the Burgoo
in his report "would be positively danger
ous- to human life.'' The penitentfar;
would be no longer self sustaining, bu
an expense to the State. The exislin
laws, carefully guarded the welfare c
the convicts, lt. belog the duty of th
Superintendent and Surgeon to visit an
inspect the camps. This duty had bee
performed, the annual report declarin
that "the condition or the bands ha
been made as favorable aa possible ur
der ?ho circumstances, the contracto)
always shoeing a perfect willingness t
make any changes in their managemet
or treatment suggested by myself or th
Surgeon. There baa been no recen
complaint of .inhumanity." In ebor
the proposed bill does, not secure th
humanity to the convicts but' means tb
calling in of tho prisoners ; the ovei
crowding of the penitentiary ; increase
mortality among them ; more labor ft
the Columbia Canal : larger approprii
tion^TWled labors Impro vexf ijnpli
merni, engines' and salaries to rend?
that . labor effective ; larger approprii
tiona for sustaining the penltentiar
and increased taxes in ?he Stale.
Mr. Haskell indignantly repelled tl
insinuations of tho member from Sun
ter, and buried his hypocritical assurai
tiona under an avalanche of solid log
and fact, respecting the employment
the convicts outside and inside the pen
tentiary, and assuming tbe hypothetic
ely lo of Mr. Loe-"if tho gcntlenu
from Sumter believes in the argument 1
bee presented In opposition to the bl
then I sly, with the opinion I hold
hi? ability, l am not only surprised, b
astonished.'' .
Mr. Raysor earnestly advocated the
passage of tho bill on thu ground of
humanity.
Mr. Parker moved an amendment to
the first Section, which strikes out from
tho bill the clause providing : "And the i
party hiring shall have no control, but
may direct what labor shall be done, and
such orders shall bo executed by tho
ollicer in charge." He thought that
with this amendment tho objection that ?
the bill would prevent the hiriug of con?
viet < would be removed and the provision
remain which would secure the humane
treatment of tho convicts, which, be
supposed, was tho wish cf every member ?
of the House.
Mr. Kennedy of Charleston moved tho
indefinite postponement of the bill, and
c died for the yeas and naya.
Tho vote stood as follow* : yeas 39,
uays 76. So the House refused to post
pone the consideration of the bill.
Mr. Parker's amendment WP? then
adopted, aa also ono striking out the !
wordu "exclusivo control," which was
made necessary by tho adoption of the
first.
Mr. McCrady, advocating the bill,
paid a high tribute to tho course which
had been pursued by Mr. Haskell iu
referenco to legislation on this subject.
It was the course of tho highest patriot
ism, and he had exhibited no greater
evidence of dovotion to tho true inter
ests of the State and of ao?iety than in
his efforts, nt ono period almost uunided,
to correct tho inhuman abuses which tho
system of hiring out convicts bad de
veloped. Mr. MoCrady showed that the
proposed bill differed from tho existing
law only in the provision for Hupervisiou
by timeworn officer and gusrds and the
clauses iucidcnl thereto ; i.ud in provid?
ing that the timo consumed by t-'ae con
victs in going to and returning from
work Bhall be taken as u part of tbo
hours constituting tbe day's work.
The bill, after further verbal amend
ments, was passed to a third rending,
without divieiou.
..Hold Up Your Hands I?'
LITTLE ROCK, ARK., December G.
At half-past. 10 o'clock to-night, a pas
senger train on the Little Rock, Missis
sippi River and Texas Railroad, coming
this way, when three miles below Little
Rock, was stopped by fivo masked rob
bers, who switched tho train off, took
complete possession and went through all
the passengers. Conductor Rico and
express messenger Hunnicut were in tho
baggage car. The robbers opened fire as
they went toward tho engine, and both
men were covered with revolvers. About
76 people were in tho cars, and great
excitement followed. All were ordered
to hold up their hands, and the robbers
then Wtint to work. They broke open
tho express oafe, and according to reports,
got $2,000 and besides obtained from pas
sengers watches, jewelry and money.
$4,000 more. No indignities were offered
to the passengers, and when they finished
the robbers disappeared, after enforcing
a promise from tbe passengers not tn leave
the train for ten minutes. A strong
posse, headed by detectives, are in pur
suit. The train arrived nt Little Hock
about ll :30 o'clock.
LATKR.-Within twenty-four hours
after tho robbery the police succeeded in
arresting four men on suspicion, and
three of them proved to be the right
ones. Their names are Cook, Clifiord
and Parker, all residents of Litllo Rock.
Cook has made a full confession, and
says there were only four men in the
party. The robber not yet arrested ia
Kline. Ten wntchen and several hun
dred dollars have been recovered.
Advertising fur a Husband,
NEW HAVEN, Coon., December 3.
The crank young women of Long Island,
not content with the field afforded them
for their talen tn in matrimonial eccentrici
ties, are coming out strong iu remote
sections of tho union. The telegraph was
kept actively nt work conveying the
newspapers intelligence of the doingt, of
a young heiress from Gravesend, who is
creating a sensation among the marriage
able meu of New Haven, Connecticut.
6be arrived there a couple of days ngo,
aud after establishing herself in tue best
rooms in the hotel, engaged Mr. W. G.
Butler, a young lawyer, aa her agent, and
then inserted an advertisement in tbe
local papers. This was a remarkable in
vitation to. the marriageable Of all ages to
compete for. her band. As an induce
ment ehe offered a fortune of $50,000.
She requires all those matrimonially
inclined, who send replies to ber "ad," to
submit their photographs and make a
full statement of their moral and tem
poral standing. This sum includes, she
says, 200 head of cattle, 117 yoke of oxen,
two emoke-brindle steers, 5,000 acres of
land in the Indian Territory and $22,000
in bonds of the Michigan Iron Mountain
company, of which ex-Senator Barnum Is
president.
Over 150 letters were received in reply
the first day, and the lawyer .has two
secretaries busy filing these bids and
writing answers. Last night th J hotel
was mobbed by swains of all ages, eager
to win the bride and the boodle.
When asked why she finds it necessary
to advertise for a husband, she replies :
"Ob, I'm fastidious, and I never am
content to go shopping and buy the first
article that comes to hand. I want to
have all the stock of all the stores pulled
down from the shblves for me so I can
pick and choose."
"And that's what you are doing now?" \
"Yes, Pm having all the stock before :
me for a choice."
"And you will select one?"
"Ob, not unless the quality comes up
to my standard."
"Have you any objection to giving
{our name? It is not on the hotel reg
ster." .
"An objection ? Of course. Only tho
husband I select shall know that.
Hon to Keep Sausage.
A writer in tho South and Weit, gives
the following on keeping sausage until
Spring:
"As soon as posai bio after making your
sausage make out in small cakes, and fry
until done. Remove from the skillet and
pack closely In stone jars until within
five or six Inches of the top, then fill to
-the top with melted lard. After the lard
bas cooled examine closely and if there
are any holes fill them with melted lard.
Tie closely and set away io the cellar
, until wanted for use. When you desire
to ose it take out whet you wish for one
time and set in the oven till the lard is
I melted, which pour beck to exclude the
air. Pour s?me wsrm water over the
sausage while hot, cover, and let steam
for a few minutes. Prepared in this way
it will keep for months and be almost as
nice as when fresh."
- President Arthur's recommend at lon
that G?n?ral Grant be placed on the
pension Hat is said to have been prompt
ed by the fact that the ex-President is
almost wholly without means.
- It ia said that the Mormons will
have a rich lobby in Washington this
Winter to look after their interests.

MR. II. O. SCUDDAY,
a member of tho House from Anderson,

inent men in upper South Carolina. Mr.
Scudday studied law in the law offlce of
Judge J. S. Cotbrnn, at Abbeville, during
the years 1877 and 1878, was admitted to
the Bar in December, 1878, and immedi

dent partner of Col. J. S. Colhrau, who
was then solicitor of the Eighth circuit.
The partnership continued until Col.
Cot bran was elected judge of the Eighth
circuit. He was electedto the Legisla
ture in 1882 and WUB re cleo tod in 1884.
Tho legal profession bas received much
nid from his bill reducing the number of
dockets. He took n bold stand against
the exemption of factories from taxation
and the present usury law. He advocates
a strict constructiou of the Constitution
in determining tbe merits of legislation.
He was a warm supporter of the educa

2,800.
It may be uafely said that Mr. Watson's
course in the Legislature will be dictated
by sound policy, and that he will be a
conservative, conscientious member. The
agricultural interests of the State will
receive his special attentions where his
knowledge ot tbe needs of these interests
will make bim a safe counsellor in shap

BILL A nr.
Th* Touug Folk? (live av Candy Pulling.
Atlanta Constitution.
Candy pulling? are a nuisance, bul I
suppose we have to hare them. X have
now arrived at that age and frat.ie of
mind that I submit to anything-any?
thing to please the children. And so
when they got there mother's consent the
matter was all arranged and the company
invited without consulting me. There
was a spare room in the house and as I
had some writing to do I adjourned my
self there to have a quiet lime. While
ruminating before the fire and smoking
the pipe of peace and tranquility the
?oung folks began to gather and before I
new it the young ladies were ushered
into my room as a reception room, and I
wa? kindly informed that I would have
to vacate. With a sigh of resignation I
retired and poked around generally. I
wiall I bad a room-a room of my own
and Mrs. Arp ?ava ?be wishes she had a
room-a room of her own. But she can't
have ono. She never will have one. for
children and grand children would be
loat and I would be lost. She can't slip
off to nabor Freeman's but what a dozen
want to know where sho ts and nhen is
aha coming back. The dog and the cat
follow, her-no she will never have a
room to herself.
But I found good company at the candy
Fulling and bad a good timo anyhow, for
do love these n?borly visita. I lovo to
seo the young folks happy and I lovo to
discourse polities and crops and nabor
hood tieWS with'tho oidor o ney. Hut I h ir.
candy business is not serene ; tone of tho
girls burned ber hand dreadfully and is
still carrying it in a bandage. And then
it ia so messy, as Mrs. Arp saya. The'
children got candy all over tho .floor and
tho tables and bureau. It sticks to my
stocking yet when I get ready togo to
bed. It melts and smokes on trie hearth.
Tho dishes are all daubed and hard to
clean up again. The door knobs and
dipper handles are sticky and they keep
sticky aa long as the candy lasts. Bot
every pleasure has ito drawback. After
every dinner the dishes are tobe washed.
After every repose the bcd has to he made
up. We ride and drivo and then the
horse bas to bo put up and fed. Wc
dance to sweet music and havo to pay
the fiddler. We go on a picnic or an
excursion and como home tired and weary.
Every pleasure seem to bo followed by pain
or by trouble just as tho night follows the
day. But still it ia right, tor it is nature.
We live in contrasta and enjoy them.
Supposo we do hunt all day and find no
game. Hope is a good thing, and it wos
one of the questions we used to debato
when I was a boy, "whether the pursuit j
or the possession gave the most pleasure."
I took the affirmative one lime when I
was pursuing my sweetheart with love
and hope and devotion, and I argued my
sido with earnest eloquence. But whon
I lost ber and another fellow got posses
sion I flopped over to the other aloe. Io
a year or so I recovered and puraued Mrs.
Arp with fear and trembling, and when
I possessed her I was happy. The pur*
ault is a lively, interesting and uncertain
business where a sweet young maiden is
concetnod, but the possession iasolid nod
sure und never gives out.
We had a frolic at our country academy
last week. Tho night you were all jubi
lating in Atlanta we were quietly enjoy
ing ourselves near our homes with our
wives and our children. The ladies, God
bless them, invited UM to a supper in tho
academy, a aplaudid supper, ? feast of
good things with no headache in them.
My folks killed a turkey and baked some
cake and the nabnrs did likewise, and
they got oysters somewhere and long
tables were spread and groaned with good
things and we thought it waa all a free
show until wo got there and fouud a
doorkeeper and had to pay to go in,
Then they finished up with bills of fare,
and to everything there was a price, but
wo couldnt back out, for the sight and
the savory smell provoked an appetite,
After I had made, them a little speech,
which I had prepared for the occasion,
one kind lady manager conducted me tc
a seat and said I was ber guest and thc
choicest viands should cost me nothing ;
with'this assurance I partook amazing)?
and feasted to my entire content, and
about that time another kind Indy pre
sented ruo my bill abd called for a dollai
-a whole dollar, and said I had oyster*
twice and turkey twice. I paid it witt]
cheerful alacrity but somehow I don')
appreciate so many managers on euof
occasions. Nevertheless, I had.the hoDQi
of being ono fair lady's guest oveb tho upi
I was another's victim.' Then {.paid foi
Mrk. Arp-'mid tho'' children and though'
I w?s done, but they bcd a fish pond It
one corner, behind a curtain, and (ht
children wanted to drop a line just lose?
what they'would catch-well that cos'
some dimes' and'next came ? raffle for !
Soe, largo cake, and thoy all wanted i
chance, and Mrs. Arn took a notion ?hi
could throw 18 with three dies, and ebor
enough she threw four and retired wit!
matronly, dignity and said she dido'
want the cake nohow. Well, the shot
went on, and on until they got all ou
change and had enough money to plaste
the school house. There was good mus!
there and the trustees were consulted h
; tho young folks about a dance, just a HUI
dance to wind up on, but they said "no,
and they said it like they meant it, andi
reekon they did, and the young foll

Tue Wee Cr j In .the Night.
My n inn o is Anthony Hunt. I am a
drover, aud live nine miles away upon
the western prairie. There wasn't a
house in eight when I first moved there,
my wife and I, and now we have not
many neighbors, though those, we have
aro good ones.
One day, about ten years ago. I went
away from home to sell about fifty head
of cattlo-fine creatures as I ever saw.
I was to buy some groceries and dry goods
before I came back, and, above all, a doll
for our youngest. Dolly. She Had never
bad a store [doll, ?of ber own-only rag
babies her mother made her.
Dolly could talk ?nothing else, and
went down to the very gate to call alter
mo to get a big one. Nobody but a
parent can understand how full roy mind
was of the toy, and how, when tho cattle
were sold the first thing I hurried oil' to
buy was Dolly's doll. I found a large
?ne with eyes that would open and shut
when you pulled n wire, and had it
wrapped up in ti paper and tucked it
indcr my arm while I had the parcel* of
:HHCO, and delaino and tea, and sugar
?ut up. Then, late ns it was, I started
Tor home. It might have been more
undent to stay until morning, but I felt
tnxlous to pet back and cager to hear
Dolly V praises about her doll.
I was mounted on o sready?going old
loree and pretty well loaded. Night sot
n before I was a mile from town,- aud
ettled down as dark as pitch while I waa
n the middle of the darkest bit of road
know of. I could have felt my way,
hough, I remembered it so well ; and
?hen the storm that had been brewing
iroke and pelted tho rsin in torrents, I
ras five miles or maybe, six miles from
ionio. .
i rode as fast aa I could, but all of ia
udden I beard a little ciy Uk? a child's
oico. I stopped short aud listened. .I
leard it agolo. I called and it answered
ne. . I couldn't seo a thing ; all was as
lark as pitch. I got down and; felt
round in the grass-called again, and
gain was answered. Then I oegan to
ronder. I'm hot timid,- but I was
mowo to bo a drover, and to have mon
>y about me. It might be a trap to
latch me unaware and rob and murder
ne. I am not superstitious, not very,
mt bow could a real child bo 'cut on the
unirle in such a night, at such an hour?
X might be more Utan human. The bit
if a coward that bides itself In most *
nen showed itself to me then, but once
nore I beard the cry, and said I :
"if any man's child is hereabouts
Anthony Hunt ia not the man to let it
lie."
I searched again. At last I bethought
ne of a hollow under the hill and
?roped that way.- Sure enough I found
i little dripping thing that moaned and
obbed as t took it io my arms. I called
ny boree and tbe beast came to roe and
t mounted and tucked tho little soaked
bing under my coat as well as I could,
iromising to take it home to mamma. It
teemed BO tired, and pretty soon cried
tself to sleep on my bosom.
It bad slept Ibero over an hour when I
law my own window. There were lights
n them, nnd I supposed my wife had lit
hem. for my sale, but when I got into
bo doorway I saw something was the
natter, and mord still with a dread fear
>f heart five minutes before I could lift
:hu latch. At last I did it and saw tho
room full of neighbors and my wife
imid them weeping. When she saw. me
ihe hid ber face.
"Ob. don't iell him," shs cried. "It
?ill kill him."
"What is it neighbors ?" I cried.
"Nothing now, I hope. What's that
rou have io your arm ?"
"A poor lost child," said I ; "I found
it on the road. Take it, will you? I've
.urned faint." And I lifted the sleep*
ing thing and saw the face of my own
:bild, my Dolly.
It was my own darling .iud none other
that I bad nicked up on the drenched
road. My little child had wandered out
'.o meet papa and- the doll while the.
mother v.-a a at work, and they were,
lamenting ber as one dead. I thanked,
beaven on my knees before them.
It ?B not much of a story, neighbors,
but I think of it often io the night? and
wonder bow I could bear to live now if
[ bad not stopped when I beard the evy
br help iipon the road, hardly ' louder
han a squirrel's chirp.
