CARE OF CONVICTS
Arp's Attention is Now Directed to
State's Prisoners.
BE IS VERY DEEPLY CONCERNED.
Reports of the Officials nt the Camps
Have Been Read By the Bartow
Philosopher.
Next in importance to the education
of the children of the state comes the
care of the convicts, the lunatics and
the deaf and the blind. These are
charges, fixed charges that rest ev >rywhere
upon the citizens and taxpayers
and cannot be avoided. A careful perusal
of the last reports of the officera
of these institutions given us deep concern
for their inmates are increasing
faster than population and th s increase
indicates a growing degeneracy
in mental, physical or moral condition
of our people. These reports give nm ii
Interesting matter for there is hardly
a state in the union where similar in
stitutions are so ably and faithfully
officered. We are especially fortunate
in having such a capable and experienced
man as Dr. Powell at the head
of our sanitarium. The apprehension
is that when lie dies we cannot fill h 3
place for we cannot find a man who hai
both his ability and his long experience.
The Bame can be said of Proftssor
Connor, in charge of the school for
the deaf. These two are veterans in th
service and have by their long and
faithful work nllnvod nil tiuhlic nnxletx
about those institutions.
But why should *so many more children
be born deaf and dumb than formerly.
and why should so many more
people become insane? Only a few
years aero Professor Connor reported
105, and now he has 215 in charge. Ho
folks keep on marrying their cousins
and will the law keep on allowing it?
As to the sanitarium, there seems tJ
be no limit, no diminution of the rapid
increase and as f ?at as more room is
provided more still is wanted.
Dr. Powell reports that on October
1, 1000, there were 1,700 whites and 742
colored on hand, and the new applications
now average about six per day.
Of course many die and it is a comfort
to know that many recover their reason
and are discharged. Two hundred
ami fifty-nine whites and , ninety-foiu
negroes were discharged last year. One
hundred and fifty-six whites and ISd
negroes died. The doctor gives pleasant
and easy employment to all who can
and are willing to work. He is a philosopher
of my own kind, for he say.
that he has found that woris manual
labor. Is more conducive to restorat'on
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 b?rl
tlCKS. o.t'UU cnoinise, l.OUU calico un satss
700 homespun dresses. 4.700 pair drawers.
i.FiOO pillow cases. 5.000 pair pants,
3.800 shirts. 1 .(>00 undershirts, and
quilts by the seore?crazy quilts I suppose?
making a total of over 50,000 articles
made by crazy women. Goo 1
gracious, what an Industrious female
family the doctor has got. In this way
he has greatly reduced the cost of
maintenance and brought down the
per capita to $117. Hut on the other
hnnd he had to be continually repairing
or replacing something, for he srys
"Insanity moans destruction and that
the tendency of a large number of patients
is to destroy furniture, crockery,
bedding, clothing, lights, sash, and
sometimes tear their rooms to pieces."
Now Just imagine what an army of
lunatics we have. Cartel svine is quite
a large little country town of 3,500 people
but three-fourths of them are children
under age. Wo have only ah ut
800 grown-up people who are tit to I e
lur tics, but here at the sanitarium
are three times as many, and the number
increasing every year.
But the report of the prison commission
gives us most nnxictj. for that,
concerns crime and involves the safety
of our people from the lawless who
fear not God nor regard man. The
maintenance of the sanitarium costs
the State *275,000 annually, hut there
is one good thing, and only one about
the convicts. They cost -e 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 inaugarato.l
this system 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 Mliledgevdlc.
whore the old men and the boys and nil
the women are kept. Under the sk.lful
management of Mr. i oster the farm
pr. d well the first year and the convicts
are nearly as happy as they were
in old slavery times. Most of the ab'ebodied
convicts are leased to farmers
at good prices, but the State provides
guards and medical attention.
Here Is r other army of 2,500 to look
after, but these are not all. There are
2,350 more at work In the county
rhaingangs. making a total of 4. >">), of
whom 358 are white, ten are white and
215 are negro women.

Lut I note that twenty-seven did nothing
and eighteen were preachers.
Ninety per cent, of the negroes are between
the ages of fifteen and forty,
and knew nothing of slavery. Only 1

over sixty years old. Two hundred

thousand and twenty of these convicts
are from throe counties?Fulton.
Chatham and Bibb. As Thomas Jefferson
said, "The influen e of cities is
pestilential to good morals." It Ls especially
so with negroes. The large
majority of the negro convicts Are
from Ihe cities and large towns.
Twenty years ago there were 1,100
negro convicts and 90 ?er cent, of
them were wholly illiterate, sould
neither read nor write. Now we have
three thousand negro convicts and 54
per cent, can read and vrte. How la
that? Does education le.son crime or
incrcas it? Mr. Stetson, the State
statistician of Massachusetts. sayB I*
"increases crime not a li.tie but im
mensclv," and he proves it. It certainly
does among the negro race In
Georgia.
It is curios to note that we have two
counties in the State?White and Gilrem?that
have ro repres .-uctll/a
among the con\:.*ts. There ere f'ur
counties?Town". IMckc- iy, Banks and I
Dawson?that have but one each. |
There are three counties--Union. Murray
and Rabun?that have but two
each. How is that for good morals in
our most northern mountain counties,
where the school master has not been
abroad in the land to any alarming extent.
No. the truth is that education of
itself neither lessens nor increases
crime. It depends on the moral training
that the boy gets either from his
teacher or his parents or his early associates.
but if his environments are
had his education 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 thenf
beforehand and so all must have a
chance.
Rut if 1 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 tho jury
box. They cannet try a man for
crime nor set in Judgment upon his
civil rights. Why si aid such men
be trusted with the ballot? Why not
1 let tlie same commission that makes
| up the jury box also make up the bal|
lot box? If some good necro'es got
in and some bad w hite men were le t
out it would be rewarding me:lt an:l
putting a penalty upon bad citizens.
I Alabama and Virginia have this qucsI
tion before their conventions and we
hope they will consider it wisely and
give encouragement to good citizens,
whether they be white or black. Goo,!
conduct should he 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 llrown and Tribble in
and leave all such w hite men as Pat
Ranks out. Don't shut the door forever
on cood negroes.

Work Done by the Eun.

What enormous amount of labor is done
by the sen of this earth alone is evidenced
in part by the circulation of water
on the earth's surface. Every day the
beat of the sun turn> into vapor a Targe
amount of water on all the watery surfaces.
and these rising vapors are far
above us converted into clouds, which
the cool currents of air carry overland
to countries which arc not blessed with
plenty of the fluid element, and upon
further condensation the clouds in the
shape of rain fall upon the earth In
smaller or largt ? quantities water
streams again toward the ica, and dttr

from the water part of the storedup

Professor Metericht, estimates the
quantity of water turned into vapor by
the sun in the Mediterranean Sea alone
on a clear, hot, summer day. at not less
than 5,280,000.000 tons. At that rate the
quantity of water taken from the entire
globe on one hot day within the limits
of the temperate and tropical zones
would amount to not Tess than 245,000,000,000
tons.
