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?

A visit to Winder is a sure cure for the blues.” • ufditv ii/. f i'/w 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. MORL fIISS THAN FACTS.
