EillG THE GEORGIA
"A Trade Mark''
I Still
S
y
(From L ;terary Digest.)
If the newspapers of Georgia aie
to bo taken as' a gage, that State has
definitely mad ) up its mind to do
nway with Its Lonvlct-lease system.
A legislative committee has been ap
pointed to mi ike a careful and ex
haustive investigation, and, if half
of the horro: s uncovered by their
probing prov real, the State press
.seem convinced that Georgia will
"have abolished the lease sjstem be
fore the close of the present session
of the legislature.
Convicts hi vo been hired or leased
to contractor! In Georgia for almost
Tialf a contuJy, the State thus treat
ing its prisoners as an asset for prod
ucing revenue. It has long been al
leged by the Georgia press that the
convicts hav s been treated In an in
human manner, and that the leasing
because ho was too weak to work. An
old negro, sick and exhausted, was
tortured to death in the fields be
cause ho failed to perform his allott
ed labor."
Cases of this nature, of which
doEens have been revealed, are not
hard to find. The newspapers are
full of horrifying details which have
been brought out by the investigating
committee. The Atlanta Constitu-
liuu jiuuubuuu iuu lUBiiiuuuy in u iy-
of prisoners
has instigated a system
of bribery which has slowly worked
its way Intofthe oftlces of many State
officials. "The revelations which
have been b ought out by the search
ing investlg ltlons are nothing short
of unspeak ible," says the Atlanta
Journal. " ndlsputablo facta sUfll-
cient have jeon brought to light to
make any pan who loves the State
hang his hrad In shame and sorrow
at the pity (of it," Indignantly asserts
plcal case, to quote:
"A large negro became unruly,
backed up against the bank In a rail
road camp, and defied the assistant
warden to take him. One convict of
fered to subdue the negro, and arm
ed with a pick approached him, dodg
ed a lick with a heavy pick and stuck
his own pick up to the handle in the
negro's face, the point reaching down
to the negro's lungs. From this
wound the negro died in a year or
fifteen months with pneumonia or
tuberculosis."
A still more pitiable example of
the atrocities committed i3 cited by
the Atlanta Georgian thus:
"A mother with her two-days-old
babe sat on the ground leaning
against a building in ono of the

The Atlanta Journal, in comment
ing further upon the attitude of
Georgia and the problems which
must be met In the tremendous loss
of revenue, which the abolition of the
system will mean to the State Treas
ury, says:
"The people of Georgia are impa
tient of delay in the extinction of the
Infamous convict-lease system. It Is
with difficulty that they restrain their
Impatience oven to the extent of per
mitting further contracts to be made
from year to year during the three
years which the system will be allow
ed to continue under tho Holder bill.
"Practical men realize that the
expenses of tho State Government
must be kept, that provision must be
made for the support of the convicts
when tho lease system is abolished,
and, in short, that an institution
which is the outgrowth of more than
forty years can not be extirpated in
a day.
"Governor Hoke Smith expresses
the opinion, however, that the school
fund will not suffer even If the con
vict Bystem is abolished at once. It
Is pointed out that there Is more
money to the credit of that fund than
there has ever been before. If this
fihould prove to be truo, then nothing
Would stand in the way of the imme
diate suppression of the system, as
boot as existing leases expire on
April 1 of next year, if indeed the
flagrant violation of tho rules of the
commission has not already worked a
forfeiture which would automatically
' tterminato tho leases, and at the same
iitimo bring twenty-five por cent of
"the secur!ty bonds into tho State
'Treasury.

her to go to work. She couldn't and

The Washington Herald Is of the
opinion that Georgia might easily
solve tho problem confronting It If
it' would make up its mind to forego
any further revenue from Its convicts
and agree that they shall become an
