Moonshlnlng More General Since the

That the Illicit distilling of whis

This report Shows that during last

It Is the General Opinion That thq
House Will Pass the Holder Bill
With but Few ' Changes—Qw
flclencles of ths Bill Pointed out—
Atlanta Wants Bryan’s Trick Mute;!,
Atlanta, Ga., August 27—With
favorable report to the house this
morning from the penitentiary come
mlttee the. house began arguments
on that measure. Just how long the
debates will run It is difficult to et-'
timate yet, but It Is assured that
there will be a full and free discus
slon. It Is the general opinion that
the house will pass the Holder bill
with few minor changes Just as In
troduced by the Jackson county myu;
There is some sharp criticism of the
Holder b^ll, however. One promldent
member says:
■..;$$$■-to a bill which cannot be
amended so as to. make It. perfect.
$«np of its provisions may be goo<L
but It Is not framed with any ed
to put an end to the lease syst
In Georgia. The original Holder bilj
provided’for a lease of five years and
had the worst clause In It which was
ever put Into a leasing bill. That
provision was that unless some
er legislation was’bad before the end
of the five yean another leaaaJHlH
be made.
“While this present bill leaves out
a good many of the .provisions of ths
original bill. It still Is a bill to per
petuate leasing and not to stop
leasing- Bf- the -wouvlctn. What
legislature should do is to stop
convict lesso system on April X ni
and take atepa necessary to accomp
lish this object
“The Holder bill Is deficient Vi
that It does nothing to Improve me
condition of the state reformatory
where the boys are looated. It does
nothing to reform the abuses at the
farm In Mllledgevtlle. It has noth
ing In looking toward the parole of
convicts or towards the reformation
of convicts. It Is simply a bill which
will perpetuate the same old things
that we have had before In a slightly
modified form.’’.
Atlanta Wants a Trick Mule.
Atlanta has made the way for the
Bryan trick mule to earn $50 per
week for the campaign fund. Secre
tary Frank Weldon, of the Atlanta
Fair Association, has written Mr.
Bryan offering him $50 a week to
let the trick mule come to Atlanta In
October during the fair. All expenses
will be paid and three weeks, possi
bly seven, are guaranteed. If the
mule Is secured a dally prise will he'
offered to the person who rides It
successfully. Secretsry Weldon has
had no reply to his letter yet

when the other lessees who had bid

General C. A. Brant vs the only
member of the commission that
would discuss the report of the In
vestigating committee. He said:
“The report It severe In many of
Its particulars. The committee might
have made a number of important
recommendation* had It heard more
fully both aide* of the case.
“In my judgment the the governor
of the state should be brought Into
vital touch with the penitentiary de
partment .and there should be an ex
ecutive Inspector to report solely to
the chief executive. The committee
makes a number of recommendations
that will doubtless receive attention
at the hands of the commission. As
yet, however, I have not dls-
oussed any of them with the other
members, and am at this time In no
position to anticipate or forecast any
action that may be taken.
“The recommendations-as to Ward

sure, receive attention In the near
