EXPLAINS BIS BILL
Repre entative Sion, of Walton Talks
of Convict Loase sysVm.
SAYS MODIFY SYS’EI HOW IN VOGUE
He Believes the Convicts Should Be
Leased So As To Save the State the
Expense of Taking Care of Them.
A special from Atlanta to the Ma
con Telegraph says:
The bill introduced in the house
Friday by Mr. Stone of Walton pro
vides for the election of the principal
keeper of the penitentiary and for the
leasing of convicts. Representative
Stone explains the purposes of his
measure as follows:
“The real object of my bill is to pre
vent the honest, law-abiding people
of the country from being taxed to
death in order to make criminals the
special pets and wards of the state.
It is practically a renewal of the lease
system, stripped of all the objectiona
ble feaures of the old lease system.
It provides for the classification of the
convicts into four classes, and hired
or leased in such away that they will
not come in contact with each other.
It also provides that the convicts be
hired in away that the state can re
quire good prices for their hire by
preventing a monopoly by any one
contractor (which was one great
trouble with the old system) by hir
ing them in squads of from 50 to 500.
It provides for the appointment of
superintendents for the different
squads. The contractors are put un
der bond to the governor for the hu
mane treatinentfof the eonvicts. No
one .is permitted to inflict corporal
punishment upon the convicts except
the superintendents, under penalty
of a heavy forfeiture on their bonds.
It further provides that after the pay
ment of the salaries of the principal
keeper and the superintendents and
other expenses connected with that
department, the remainder of the
proceeds o< the hire of the convicts be
appropriated to the public school
fund. In my mind, the disposition
of the convicts is a matter of busi
ness and not a sentiment. Our taxes
are already as heavy as we can bear,
and whenever the legislature places
from $1,000,000 to $8,000,000 per an
num additional taxes upon the peo
ple the burden will be terrible and
unbearable.
“I don’t believe in placing this bur
den upon the honest people of this
state in the useless experiment of try
ing to reform and educate murderers,
rapists, burglars and highway rob
bers. If we need make this experi
ment we will have to abolish the pub
lic school system, for the people can’t
stand both on 5-cent cotton. It is
simply a question of educating the
honest children of the state or trying
to educate and reform the criminals.
As I remarked at first, I believe that
a large majority of the legislature are
in favor of setting this question upon
business principles.”

THREE DAYS WITHOUT CARS.
Accident to Engine Driving Electric Car
Motors Causes Serious Delay.
Rome has had the unusual experi
ence of being without electric cars for
thr=e days.
Saturday morning the big engines
that drives the electric car dynamos
broke down, It was thought then
that the damage could be repaired in
time for the ears to go out Sunday
morning.
However, Manager Marvin whs
doomed to disappointment. The new
foundation for the engine gave way
just as the work was completed, and
it had to all be done over again.
Romans scarcely realized what a
blessing the swiftly moving electric
cars were until they had to do with
out them three days.
The management hopes to have
every thing in shape this morning,
and the cars going. The electric
lights have not been interfered with
as a separate engine and dynamo
supply the lights.

North Georgia will raise the biggest

section.
Good crop? of the cereal were raised
this year and good prices were obtained.
But 5| cent cotton has done the work,
and nearly all the faimers in the Seventh
congressional district are putting in big
crops of wheat.
Mr. J. B. Carver has recently been
traveling in Whitfield, Gordon, Bartow,
Polk, Cobb and other counties. Talking
to a Tribune reporter yesterday he said:
“I have never noticed so much wheat
sown in this section before. Every
where the farmers were busy and the
people talking about it. They all are
putting in as much wheat as possible, I
saw many farmers out with their drills
sowing the wheat. I was told that over
500 drills had been sold in the counties
I visited.
“From all I saw and heard lam con*
vinced that the largest wheat crop ever
sown in this section will be planted this
fall.”

RICH GOLD FIND.
One of the Greatest Strikes Ever Made in
the Alabama Field.
$60.00 in gold in one pound of quartz.
And yet it is hard to convince the
S uth much less the outside world that
the gold fields of the South are to be the
greatest bonat zas of the nation. Another
rich find has been made in Cleburne
county near Arbacoochce, Ala.
Messrs. A. B. Hilton and G Riley,
who have been prospecting in the gold
fields of Cleburne, made a rich find a
few days since some two miles from
.lhulafinnee, which is only sixteen miles
from Edwardsville.
They were working up a branch look -
iug up an old mine when they found
good signs of gold, and investigating
further, discoveud a very nch vein.
They took out about thirty pounds of
quartz and brought two pieces of it
weighing about a pound into the city
with them. This pound of quartz con
tained over S6O worth of gold, the yel
low metal showing in almost pure layer*.
No finer specimens have ever been
seen here, and Mr, Riley, wbo has spent
his life in the gold fields of North Geor
gia and the West, says he me ver saw any
thing richer.— Birmingham News.
