Radically Changed in Its
Features~-A Synopsis
of the New Law.
The Georgia legislature, after an ex
tra session of several weeks, passed the
convict lease bill Saturday and ad
journed.
Under the terms of the new conviet
law adopted by the general assembly,
the 2,400 misdemeanor convicts and the
2,000 felony convicts which the State
has to handle are disposed of as follows:
The counties are forced to maintain
and work the misdemeanor convicts,
each county taking the number it con
victs. The counties are allowed to buy
or lease farms upon which both the
misdemeanor and felony convicts may
be worked in order to raise supplies for
the road work it may be engaged upon.
Counties desiring to work their quota
of felony convicts upon the roads must
notify the prison commission not later
than February 10th, 1909, and annually
thereafter before that date. After this
first distribation is made to counties
desiring to work their quota, then coun
ties desiring more may apply to the
commission and shall have them with
out cost, except that an equal amount
of convict labor is to be returned to
counties furnishing the convicts when
those counties are ready to work their
roads.
Two or more counties may combine
into districts and work their convicts
together, alternating in the use of the
gangs.
The prison commission, when in
funds, is to organize and equip road
gangs for working roads in ecounties not
able to maintain their own gangs.
Municipalities are to be allowed to
hire any number of convicts they de
sire at $lOO per year each.
The prison commission may, with the
consent of the'Governor, buy or lease
for five years additional farms upon
which to work conviets. Each State
institution may have the use of fifty
convicts when it desires them.
If any feiony conviets remain after
these plans have been exhausted, the
Governor and the commission may dis
pose of them (felony convicts only) as
they think the best interest of the
State demands, for a period of not more

C. B. Willingham Talks of
Possibilities in High-
Grade Canning.
There is one important feature of the
peach industry that was overlooked in
the discussions had at the recent meet
ings in Atlanta, according to C. B, Wil.
lingham, of Marietta, and that is high
grade canning.
The question of canning came in for
considerable discussion, but only as a
means of disposing of the over-ripe and
imperfect fruit, such as would not do
to ship. On the other hand, it is Mr,
Willingham’s view that a large percent
age of the best fruit of the crop ean be
put up and marketed at a splendid
profit.
Mr. Willingham undertook a test of
this view during the recent fruit sea
son, and is satisfied that, if properly
conducted, high-grade canning will
prove an abundantly paying invest
ment.
Those who have tried some of the El.
bertas which Mr, Willingham has put
up, compared them with the California
fruit, which has won a reputation, had
no hesitancy in pronouncing the Geor
gia product far superior, both in flavor
and quality of syrup. .
‘I have had canned this year some of
the finest fruit from my orchard,” Mr.
Willingham said, “and I am satisfied
that, for flavor and excellence, the Cal
ifornia canned fruit cannot compare
with it.
‘ Bat the California fruit has the rep
utation ; therefore, it sells. Take, for
instance, the Ouslifornia No. 2 can, which
brings 25 cents at retail. I have gone
far enough to know thatv the Georgia
grower, if he will put up the best qual
ity of fruit, can offer a product guperior
to the California article at the whole
sale price of 12)¢ cents, and at that get
$2 a bashel for his perches, besides pay
ing all the expenses of canning. This

ineludes the use of what we ecall a 25
per cent. syrup, or, spproximately, nine
pounds of sugar to the gallon.
*“There is no finer peach grown for
high-grade canning than the Georgia
Elberta, and I believe there iz a field
here for a profitable disposition of all
the fruit that can be grown. At any
rate, such canneries would greatly re
lieve the market, preventing any glut,
and would, at the same time, bring as
satisfactory returns as could be expect
ed from shipping to markets where the
demand is good.
**California has profited by this in
dustry. and there is absolutely no rea
son why we should not do it here.”’—

MAKES PREDICTION,
A Marietta man predicts that in ten
years, or perhaps in five from to-day,
that Marietta folks will be owning and
operating their own aeroplanes or fly
ing machines, and tLey will be no more
of a wonder than autos are now. “Why
shouldn’t it be s 0?” he exclaimed ;
“their development 1s £oing on more
rapidly than the auto’s did. Whenever
the air machine aclieves & certain tray
eling capacity, with a reagonable degree
of safety, the world will have them, and
of course what the world has, Marietta
bas. To my way of thinking, the aero.
plane will be an improvement over the
auto. No dust to be encountered, and
the machines will not be 80 injured
with bad roads. Then, too, only think
of the scenery to be viewed! Hail to
the new mode of transportation! She’s
comin’ a-flyin’, and don’’t you forget
