Brief Summary of Interesting
Happenings Culled at Random.
A Spl-mli>l Showing.
The report of the prison commission
•f Georgia from tho leasing of convicts
for the first quarter of the present year
has been made to Comptroller General
Wright by Judge J. S. Turner, chair
man of the commission.
The amount due the state for the
hire of the convicts under the new sys
tem for tbeqnarter is $50,277.40. This
splendid showing is very gratifying to
those who have advocated the new sys
tem by which the state cares to all its
convicts and nothing is left to the
lessees to do but to point out the work
is to be done by the convicts.
This plan gives the state an oppor
tunity to care for its own prisoners,
and see that the treatment, which has
been complained of so often, is con
siderate, aad that the convicts are well
clothed and fed, and receive all medi
cal attention necessary to keep them
in the best cf health.
The report of the last quarter is $l5O
in excess of the report of the last quar
ter of 1899, and SOOO in excess of the
quarter which ended in October, 1899.
On April first the plan of leasing
the convicts under the care of the
state closed the first year of the ex
periment, and during the twelve
months it has been in operation it has
been eminently successful.
The income to the state from the
eonvicts for the year has been about
$200,398.13, besides $5,000 net in
come received from the prison farm at
MilUdgeville.
Of this amount $150,000 was appro
priated for the expenses of maintain
ing the convicts, necessary guards and
officials to manage them. The entire
amount will not be needed, however,
for the expenses, and the income un
der the new system will net the state
about $85,000 the first year, which is
expected to be the most expensive as
the new system was largely an experi
ment.
Under the old system the state net
ted between slo,uoo and $12,000.

ence between the two special commit
tees from the two local factions. The
state house officers will be voted for in

Institute, held in Adairsville last
week, has passed into history. The
session was one of the most profitable
that they have ever held. The at
tendance was larger and the discus
sion general.
The program, owing to various
reasons, was not carried out in full.
Governor Candler, Hoti. J. W. Harris,
lion. W. G. Cooper and others that
were expected could not be present,
much to the disappointment of the en
tire people.

Four Yean For Postofite* Robber*.
In the United States court at Savan
nah Saturday morning Judge Emory
Speer passed sentence on Harry Bel
mont and Harry Nelson, who entered
a plea of guilty to robbing the post
office at Ocilla some months ago. He
setenc.ed them to four years in the
penitentiary at Nashville.
In passing sentence the judge said
that professional crooks from the
north make a great mistake in believ
ing they can come south, ply their
trade with impunity and escape pun
ishment. The people of the south
are easy to get along with when dealt
with honestly, but they are quick to
run down anyone who robs them.
Official form of Democratic Ballot.
The official form of ballot for the
Democratic primary set for May 15th
has been prepared and announced by
the sub-committee of the state Demo
cratic committee, consisting of Vico
Chairman Ed Brown and Hon. Porter
King, of Fulton. Thfe form prepared
for the primary conforms to the usual
arrangement of Democratic primary
elections, except that this year more
than one office will be voted for oa the
ticket that were never directly voted
for by the people before, including
judge of the superior court and solic
itor.
The ballot prepared by the sub-com
mittee gives the precedence of the of
fices, state and county, and on the
state ticket where there is no opposi
tion to the Bingle candidate for re
election, the nama of the sola candi
date has been inserted. The ticket
shows opposition among the statehonse
officers only in one instance, that of
prison commissioner for the unexpired
term, the office now filled by Hon.
Thomas Eason of Telfair. Commis
sioner Eason has announced for re
election, and is being opposed by C.
C. Thomas of Ware county.
For the office of state treasurer there
is but one candidate at present, Cap
tain It. E. Park, of Macon. Treasurer
Speer has signified his iuteution of
leaving politics for the present, and
therefore, will not be a candidate to
succeed himself.
The majority of the county commit
tees over the state that have acted in the
'ast two weeks have asked to be fur
nished the official form the ballot will
ake at the primary. Three counties
—Fulton, Bibb and Coweta—have
arranged their own form of ballot, and
(he form announced by the sub-com
nittee conforms substantially to these
r hree. A copy of the official form has
>een sent by Vice Chairman Brown to
lie secretary of every county comrnit
fct ein the state, in order that the bal
ot may be printed at the convenience
if the various committees.
For the first time in the history of
the state the voters will cast their bal
lots on May 15th for both judge and
olicitor of tho circuit court. The
people of each judicial circuit will
choose their own judge and solicitor,
and the candidate for each office re
ceiving tho largest vote in the circuit
vill be nominated for the office by the
•Jemocratic convention in June. There
vill be no circuit convention for the
omination of judges aud solicitors,
md the returns, after being consoli
lated by the chairmen of the different
county committees in the circuit, will
be forwarded direct to tlie chairman of
the state Democratic committee.
