County Missed Misdemeanor
Convicts.
Plans to Entertain Governor
Brown.

Read This Ad.
The Washington county officials were
eager for ita proportion of the oonviots
that had beon working in what have
been known aa "Wild Gat” camps and
Secretary Newman of the county
Board was in Atlanta on November
6th expecting to receive about twenty
live, but the owners of the Wild Oat
camps had taken advantage of the sit
uation and turned the misdemeanor
convicts back to the counties from
whom they had been hired and deman
ded their money instead of turning
them over to the Frison Commission,
as had been expected.
There were ubout seven hundred
misdemeanor convicts illegally held at
these Wild Cat camps and the Prison
Commission had planned to turn them
over to the several counties.
This county will, however, receive
its full quota of the felony convicts on
April 1st.
While it is not definitely known
what day Gov. Elect Joe. M. Brown
will come to Sandersville it is thought
he may come sometime in December
and Already the Mayor and Oounoil
and other citizens are discussing plans
to entertain him.
Should school be in session while the
Governor Elect h in the eity, he will
be asked to talk to the sohool children,
because It in well known how deeply
interested in children and eduoation
the new Governor is. There will also
likely be a public reception where all
our citizens may have the opportunity
to meet the distinguished visitor.
Other plans will be made when Mr
Brown decides what day he can reach
the city and Mayor Evans and the
members of the city counoil will take
the matter up at some subsequent
meeting.

Congress will Meet in Decern
ber.
A Good Showing.
t
Congress meets the first Monday
December and for the next several
months will be engaged in making the
laws and appropriating the money of
the people.
The country is interested principally
in the subject of tariff revision prom
ised by the republicans and now being
considered by a special committee in
Washington.
It is generally expected that the
tariff will be so revised by the republi
cans as that several more millions of
dollars will be added to the treasury
and expended in extravagant appro
priations and in paying more office
holders.
The present income from the Water
Works and Electric Light Plants of
the city of Sandersville is more than
one thousand dollars per month, or to
be exact, for the last month amounted
to the grand total of 11194.88.
As the city has grown, the income
has gradually increased and when the
next month has come and gone, other
patrons will be added and a new and
better showing will be made.
The present income is very gratify
ing to our citizens and shows the im
portance of these enterprises as well as
the good management of the commis
sioners.
And it must be borne in mind that
making up this showing, all the
street lights are figured free to the
town.
