Bering the benefits accruing from
the formation of the Tri-County
Medical Society of Jackson, Wal
ton and Gwinnett, the Atlanta
physicians have formed a similar
organization, ami ause the
Atlanta association has passed
a resolution protecting its mem
® hers from being imposed upon
: by that class of citizens who change
i from one doctor to another, with
out paying any <me for his services,
the self-appoinmd Good Samari
tans who are in the newspaper bus
iness in Georgia have seen fit t > crit
icize them, making the claim that
j the poor is to he neglected. Such is
! not the ease at all. Atlanta ap
points some five or six of her best
: doctors, whose duty it is to visit the
j poor whenever summoned.
The coming together of the med
ical men and the discussion of the
treatment of the many diseases
human flesh is heir to is a great
help to the physicians and gives to
the general public the benefit of the
I practical knowledge of those men
j who have spent years in the prac
tice of medicine and are recognized
las the bet in the profession.
Visit the poor? Why there’s not
|a more charitable body of men on
earth than the members of the Tn-
County Medical Society and they
ride to the c:|ll of sweet charity al
most nightly, and tiie beauty of it
j is, they never proclaim it from the
| housetops by the I tenting of drums
| and the sounding of cymbals.
The society does keep a record of
men who have the means, hut neg
lect to pay their hills. And why
not? The physicians have spent
years in hard study and much
money’ to perfect themselves in
their professon. Why should they
be censured any more than the
merchant who refuses to credit
such customers?

We have had Sensationalism run
mad in Georgia for the past month
over the eonvjet lease system, and
our solons have been playing the
cheap game of politics throughout
it all. At the last moment Sena
tor Felder eaine forward with a
substitute foi the Holder lull, which
Carried with it a heavy hatch of ap
pointments for < iovernor Smith to
make and creating fat jobs for his
appointees to dish out, the terms of
■ service holding good for six years.
Oh, what a bright idea! Abolish a
-mall commission and create a large
and expensive one. Our old-time
friend, The Atlanta Journal, was
highly elated, and in commenting
upon the substitute said :
“The Felder substitute abolishes
the offices composing the prison
commission and repeals the law
| creating the commission.
“Creates a hoard of nriiKUToits for
l the Georgia penitentiary, which
shall be composed of seven upright,
intelligent citizens from different
sections of the state, who shall have
complete management-, supervision
aid control of the penitentiary sys-!
tern of the state and of all of the!
felony convicts.
“Members of the hoard of direc
tors to lie AI’I’OINTKO BY THE <iO\'j
kk.voi:, who shall be an ex-officio
member of the hoard.
“The term of service of directors
shall he six ykaks. They shall m
eeived four dollars per day for the
actual days they are in the service
of tlie state, together with their
actual traveling expenses when per
forming their duties.
“The hoard shall meet once a
month in the office at the state
capitol.
“The lx>ard shall electa clerk at
a salary of SI,<SOO per vearjageneral
manager at $">,000; a secretary of
pardons, whose duty it shall he to
investigate all subjects for executive
clemency, at -12,0(H): necessary
superintendents of farms at $1,200;
and such other employes, warders
guards and physicians as it may
deem advisable. Wardens shall be
paid SIOO per month, guards SSO
and physicians not more than
SIOO.
“The hoard shall he clothed with
all the powers of the prison com
mission except in instances where
such powers are inconsistent with :
this act.
“ The Felder-Stephens substitute I
is understood to meet with the ap-j
proval of the governor, and is looked j
upon generally as perhaps the only
pending convict legislation that
would be approved if passed."
Neither the Holder hill nor tin-
Felder substitute were enacted into;
law and an extra session of the leg
islature will be called by Governor'
Hoke Smith to assemble in Atlanta
on August 2 1.
This session will consider the con
vict question and the disposition of
the state's convicts following the ex-.
pi rat ion of the present lease on
April 1,190 ft.
And it is hoped that our law
i makers will not continue to play
; polities at the expense of the state.

“We see no objection to it if cer
tain newspaper brethren, and cer
tain legislative reformers wish to
organize Sunday schools at the camps
to reform the morals af these crea
tures. While we think it would be
as fruitless as to preach virtue to a
jackass, or in sing psalms to a dead
horse, we are willing for them to
try it. But meanwhile we would
strengthen the guard, and bid them
to keep their eyes open whileJthe

with authority to whip should lie
prosecuted for their cruelties.
So far, however, the investigation
has failed to connect either one of

Dear friend:
Chipped beef is
nice to buy, mama
says; because there
is no bone in it.
Last night mama was
real tired and didn’t
Teel like building a
big fire. She sent
to the* grocery for a
can of chipped beef,
and when I got back
she had some bread
and butter and sweet
milk on the table,
and we had a real
nice supper, and it
didn’t cost very
much.
You can easily get
up a quick meal if
you buy your groce
ries where mama

Your friend,
