A ROMAN HONORED.
Capt. C, H. Featherston Was Perma-
nent Chairman of the Meeting.
ALSO ELECTED PRESIDENT OF BODY
Be Whs Considered The Leading Man Pres
ent at The Atlanta Meeting Messrs.
Me Arver and Treada wny Attends
Capt. C. N. Featherston, Commis
sioner A. B. McArver and Clerk E. P.
Treadaway, returned from Atlanta
yesterday.
They had been there to attend the
meeting of the county commissioners
in which roads and the convict ques
tion was discussed at length.
Capt. Featherston had distinguished
honors confered upon him by the
meeting, and was easily the leading
figure of the gathering.
He was chosen permanent chairman of
the meeting, and then elected president
of the federation of Georgia commission
era, which has formed into a permanent
organization.
Cept. Featherston is a man of pro
found learning and his opinions always
carry weight with them. He is well
known all over the state both for his
scholatly attainments and his sound
views upon matters pertaining to the
economics of county administration.
This recognition of his ability and
popularity in such an important gather
ing is a source of great gratification to
his friends here and elsewhere.
Mr. R. B. McArver in speaking of the
meeting said:
“Capt. Featherston was at once recog
nized as the leading man at the conven
tion, and his selection for both the chair
manship and the presidency was unani
mous and the desire almost to a man of
the entire body. This convention will
result in vast good, and the differ
ent views of men of education and sound
judgment as expressed in such a gather
ing is sure to have a good effect. Owing
to the shortness of the session many im
portant matters could not be diecussed,
but next year the body will be in better
shape for fully discussing all these
points.”
Mr. Treadaway said that they had a
very pleasant trip, and that much good
will come of the meeting.
Mr. McArver was placed on the com
mittee on roads.
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Interesting Report of The Meeting Juel
Held tn The Gate City.
The following account of the commis
sioners meeting appeared in yesterday’s
Constitution.
The time for the improvement of
Georgia roads is at hand. From the hills
of Habersham down to the marshes of
Glynn the state is to be threaded with a
system of roads greater than those that
radiated through the old Roman em
pire in its loftiest days. The impetus to
this significant movement was given in
the convention of county commissioners
which was held in Atlanta yesterday in
the ball room of the Kimball house.
It was a gathering from which ma
terial results will follow soon and not
only the question of roads, but other af
fairs of vital interest were considered.
The convention resolved itself into a
permanent organization—
Decided to meet next year on the
third Wednesday in July in Macon —
Recommended all misdemeanor con
victs should remain in custody of the
counties, and that all felony convicts
whose terms do not exceed five years
shall be placed in county chaingangs—
Recommended also that a general
law be passed abolishing the free sys
tem of county—
Requested that the next legislature
enact a law providing for the equaliza
tion of taxation and marshaling all
property subject to taxatiop in the state.
These and many other subjects were
taken up and when the convention ad.
journed last night at 10 o’clock it had
set in motion tendencies which will find
full fruition in the formation of ad
vanced and salutary measures to he
presented to the state legislature.
With business-like snap the work of
the morning session was finished up and
when[2 o’clock came the commissioners
were invited to attend a barbecue which
had been provided by the Fulton board.
Gathered at the Cold Spring ’Cue Club
grounds the host of connty officials
came together yesterday afternoon and
made merry for several hours. They
were addressed by Mayor Collier, Judge
George Hillyer and other local orators.
At 8 o’clock they assembled in the
convention hall again and were in con
tinued session until late in the night.
As soon as the evening session of the
convention was called the resolution of
W. O. Watson, of Dougherty, calling
far the abolition of fees of county of
ficials and the substitution of the salary
system was taken up. Adverse report
had been made upon it by the commit
tee, but after a heated discussion, in
which Commissioner J. J. Spalding
took part, stating that Fulton was
pledged to the salary system, the reso-1
iution went through as follows:
THS ROME TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18. 1897
Fifty Years Ago.
Thia is the stamp that the letter bore
Which carried the story far and wide.
Os certain cure for the loathsome sore
That bubbled up from the tainted tide

And his sarsaparilla, that all now, know
That was just beginning its fight of fame
With its cures of 50 years ago.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
Is the original sarsaparilla. It
has behind it a record for cures
unequalled by any blood puri
fying compound. It is the only
sarsaparilla honored by a
medal at the World’s Fair of
1893. Others imitate the
remedy; they can’t imitate the
record:
50 Years of Cures.
I
“By W. O. Watson, of Doughtery:
‘ 'Resolved, That we recommend that
a general law be passed to become
operative in any county in the state by
a vote of the county abolishing the fee
system for county officers, placing them
on salaries.’’
Adopted.
The night session was informal, and
a running discussion of the general af
fairs connty business occupied the time.
The convention extended a rising
vote of thanks to the Fulton county
commissioners, and also to Capt. C. N.
Featherston, who had been elected per
manent president.
Following were the important resolu
tions passed up at the night session:
By John fl. Adams of Walton— * ‘Re
solved. That at the expiration of the
present leases of felony convicts, no
further leases should be made, but said
said convicts should be worked upon the
public roads as far as it can possibly be
done by the state or county authorities.
By Mr. J, J. Spalding—“ Resolved,
That one of the greatest blessings to a
state is good roads, anil that our law
makers are requested to foster and en
courage the building of good roads in
this state by the passage of all proper
laws for that purpose.”
By W. P. McWhorter—“lt being the
sense of this body that there is a great
wrong now being done in the state in
the manner in which the taxable pro
perty is returned for taxation, we do
hereby request request that our next
legislature exact such laws as will
equalize and marshal all the property
subject to taxation in the state.” On
motion, this was referred to the next
session of this convention.
By J. J. Spalding—“ Resolved. That
a committee of seven be appointed by
the chairman to present the resolutions
passed by this convention, to the legis
lature of Georgia, to use their best ef
forts to secure the enactment thereof
into laws.” Amended that Mr. Spald
ing and Chairman Featherston and five
other members of this convention be
appointed as said committee.
•‘WORK COVICTB ON RO IDS.”
Chairman Featherston, of Rome* Gives His
Views on the Subject.
Judge Featherston, of Rome, the chair
man of the convention'in speaking to a
Atlanta Journal reporter of the advantage
of putting the convicts on the public
highways, said:
“I am in favor not only of having all
misdemeanor convicts, but also all felony
convicts of not more than five years sen
tence work the roads. In my county we
have been working misdemeanor convicts
for 15 ,years and with admirable success.
We have had very little trouble and
have done an immense amount of work.
“There has never been the slightest
complaint of mistreatment. The only
trouble we have had is that occasionally
our gang has run down too low, and it
has been difficult to run it economically.
In order to supply a sufficient number of
men to enable such counties as want
them to have their own camps and have
the use of all the short term felony con
victs.
“When the gang was first organized
the people raised a great hue and cry
about the expense of maintaining it. but
after years of experience with the convicts
on the roads all oi this complaint has
disappeared.”

The Cartersville News says:
“The Rome Tribune, with a very
ugly growl and a contemptible reference
to the editors of ihis paper, announces
th«t the two horses, afflicted with the
glmideis, had been killed, their car
casses, together with the stable in which
they were confined, had been burned.
The News only printed facts, as evi
denced by the action, though unne.cessa
rily slow, of the Rome parties in the dis
possl of the diseased animals, and no
amount of blackguard “journalism” will
ever swerve it from its duty in such
cases. The News values the protection
of the farmers’ stock far mine than it
does the cotton matket of any town.
The Tribune janitor must have mounted
the ‘editorial’ chair in Tuesday's issue
of that paper.”
