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.” Small pill, safe pill, best pill.

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.

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.” You ccn’t cure consumption, but you can avoid it and cure every other form ot throat or lung trouble by the use of One Minute Cough Cure.

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.
