It appears that only male persons from 2! to 50 years of age in Georgia are subject to road duty. if this is the correct interpretation and meaning of the law it would he well that officials of the st ite whose duty it is to collect these taxes know fir :n whom >■:: y to c-elect- Following is the law : “Georgia Laws, i>?7. pay fit), No. 171, section 1: ‘That each :n;d inhabitant of • ;• ! county be tween the age-of 21 and e) years, who is re t pl.yise.ally or mentally disabled, shall Ik- su .Let to the r ad i duties four days for eight i'ulHhuurs in each day in each year, and n > mom; provided any suea person may be exempt from road duty by paying to the everacer the sun of s>3, or such amount as the road authorities may fix a- equivalent to four days' labor at the time notice is given to work on said road and said overseer shall receipt said person for said commutation tax, and shall apply the same to the use of the road where the person was warned to work.’’ Mr. C.

I Governor Swith Decides That Extra [ Session Must Deal With That I Subject Only. [ Governor Smith has finally de [termined that lie will include in the [call for extraordinary session of the [the general assembly only the con vict qu< st ion, though the general as- Iscmblywill he at liberty to deal | with that subject in all its phases. [ The governor was at work on the [call yesterday afternoon and last [night, and expects to issue it today. I As already announced, the gen eral assembly will he called to meet next Tuesday, August 25, and in that it will have hut one subject with which to deal, it is expected its .'session will he greatly expedited. The governor holds that it is abso lutely within the discretion and power of the executive to name what subject shall he considered in extraordinary session, hut bethinks the policy of including general leg islation a doubtful one and perhaps an unwise precedent. He will, therefore, limit the call as stated, and the general assembly will have nothing in the way to prevent ex peditious action on the question in hand.

In his speech at Elberton, Mr. Watson said: ‘‘Bryan has admitted in a news papt r Pat* m<mt that he did prom ise bishop Walters and other negro visitors to his home that if congress passed the Foraker hill he would approve it if he were president.’’ The Constitution telegraphed to Mr. Bryan, and received the follow ing reply: “Lincoln, Neb . Aug. If). —Your telegram received. Statements en tirely false. Have never discussed the Foraker hill with anyone; have never made any promise to Bishop Walters, and, of course, never ad mitted in any newspaper statement or anywhere else that any promise was made. You have the editorial written when the Brownsville mat ter first came ur>. 1 have not ex amined the evidence taken by the congre-sional committee, and have refused to bring into the cam paign any issues not included in the platform.
