If our law makers would sell the state farm and abolish the penitentiary, and then let each county manage their own con victs by chain gangs on our roads, it would not be many years before every county in the state would have good roads, and every farmer would have a good road to market. We could then let our com mutation tax go to our schools. The old hosiery millkwould be abolished and many of the dis agreeable things about the pen itentiary would be removed. Because men commit crimes and are put in prison to be pun ished is no reason why they should be confined where disease and death come to them. Put them out in the open air, give them wholesome food, good clothing, and make them work for the county against which they have sinned. The state has no right to work convict labor on the farm in competition with honest labor. We ought to do the right thing by the state and by the prisoner. Even a snail does his best. It is so much better to forgive than to say you do. Thirteen can in no wise affect the fortunes of the New Year. The tail cannot wag the dog.

WONDERS WWATY I The Pickens Railroad We wan. to lift our hat and make our bow to the Picken Railroad Company. The peo ple of Pickens county and the traveling public generally will never know how much they owe to this road with its kind and obliging officers and crew. We want the. privilege some day of voting for each one of the presidents of the road. Say Hon. John Gary Evans, firsi president, for United State: senator; Ex-president Julius E. Boggs for congress, and the present president, J. P. Carey for chief justice of the suprem court. We have never had, no will we ever have, a better on( than he would make. Too much praise cannot bE given to the old reliable trio Taylor, Jeans and Partridge. Never have men been morE faithful and efficient. Messrs. Dwight Attaway and Roy Nealey have not been with the road as long as the others, but they are making good. For this trio we would like to votE a liberal income to each after awhile when they may desire to retire from active service. The United States pensions her retired soldiers, for service rendered. These faithful men ought to be rewarded from some source, for they have served the public well. A cold day; the rain pouring down in torrents; the road muddy; some poor fellow tug ging away at his load helping the old mule to pull the wagon out of a hole in the road; a buggy going by, the man drenched in the rain; another man going along on the train perfectly dry and comfortable. He owed it all to the Pickens SRailroad. The Pickens Railroad is with out doubt one of the greatest material blessings that has eyer come to this county. May peace and prosperity attend the com pany for all the years to come.
