cAbolish the Pen.
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.

Representative Williams of
this county voted for the bill
restricting the rights of the
press, and Representative Mc
Cravevyvoted against it.
"Josh" Ashley of Anderson also
1oted for the bill, but it was
killed. 55 to 53.
Our classified columm was
inaugurated for the benefit of
our subscribers and we w~ant
them to take advantage of it.

sausage, etc., to sell you can

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.
