I’he Crime of Leasing Convicts.
Tho non. W. A. Huff, member
the legislature from Bibb, was for*
raerly a popular conductor on tho
Macon & Western road,now known
as thc Central, between Macon and
Atlanta.
Even at this late date, when
traveling on tho cars, the old habit
of walking through the train,
formed in the days of his conduct*
orship, still clings to him, and
obedient to tiiis impulse, on last
Friday aftornoon when returning
from legislature in Atlanta to Ma*
con, ho arose from his seat and
took a walk through thc train, and
by cbnneo saw
A MISERABLE SPECTACLE
that will be of great value to him
in his fight against the present
convict lease, and which will be
graphically presented in his char,
actoristie style when ho speaks on
his convict bill.
The said spectacle was this: He
saw iu ono of tho front cars a band
of conviets cn route from tho Chat¬
tahoochee brick yard to tho camps
of tho Columbus Southern railroad.
Some of them were miserable look¬
ing objects. About the . neck of
ono was tightly welded a chain
that had been thoro for oight
months bccauso the convict had
mudo a break for liberty.

HANDS BADLY BURNED.
lie noticed how one of them held
his hands while munching at a
pieco Of something to oat. Tho fin*
gers wero drawn up in a contracted
manner, and ho appeared to be
suffering.
Mf. Huff inquired what Was tho
matter and found that tho palm of
the convict’s hand was a mass of
blisters, and becauso of those he
not open his ningcrs or
hand.
In response to the inquiry of Mr.
Huff, tho convict Said his hand was

Saul the convict, referring to his
band: “lr.&t nothing. .. Go back

he found the hands ol several of
tho convicts in on oven worso burnt

Gordon and in the legislature.
Mr. Huff was also it formed that

Mr. Huff said ho would call upon
governor Gordon at onco and pre¬
sent the matter to him. If tho gov
ornor does not act, Mr. Huff will
then open fire in the legislature.
IIo said: “Tho burnt handJ is
infamous, thc welded chain for
eight months about tho neck is in*
human, thc lashes on tho negro
woman in the mnnncr they wore
administered was barbarous, and
tho miserable gi-ub of a pieco of
cold bread and cold fat meat is
damnable.”
Hot Weather Suicides.
Dr. Michael J. B. Messemer, the
coroner is a student of the weather
and suicides. They are subjects
which have takon up considerable
of his spare time, and ho has be¬
come a convert to tho theory that
prolonged hot weather is followed
by an increase in the number of
suicides. Ir. a conversation upon
this subject yesterday, he said: *
“I havo followed tho matter
closely, and bclievo it to bo true
that hot weathor is invariably ac¬
companied by an increaso in the
number of suicides, and when the
hot wave is prolonged for a week
or more it is followod by almost a
suicidal epidemic in the city. On
cool days there is »d average of
from hue to three suicides, but let
the Ihormomelcr go up, and a rapid
increase is made.
“Now, last week was very warm,
and Friday and Saturday oppress*
ively so. Last Saturday eight men
killed themselves. Last Sunday it
was a trifle cooler and the number
of suicides fell to seven. If I look at
the thormometor I can give a pretty
close guess at thc number of sui*
cides for tho day. Another pecuU
iarity is the ibfluenco of suicides
on people. Those who intend to
end their lives watch tho news*
papers Closely end read how other
peoplo have committed suicido. I
supposo this nerves them up tt>
make the trial themselves, and ao*
counts for the fact that often there
will bo several person kill them*
sites in some peculiar way within
a few days. "W hen tho first suicido
conceived tho idea of drowning
himself in tho water reservoir ho
was quickly followed by others.

Georgia’s Public Roads.
^ bp General Assembly of tho
State of Georgia:
The undersigned committco was
appointed by the recent Road Con
gress of Georgia to present a
memorial to your honorable body,
and petition for a change in tho
road laws of tho State. Tho res
olulions under which we act nroas
follows:
Resolved, That the opinion of
this congress, the agricultural and
all other interests Of this state do-*
mand a change in the road laws of
Georgia.
Resolved, That for want of timo
to give tho subject proper consider
ation tho president of this congress
appoint a committee from this
body, composed of one member
from oheh congressional district
and two from tho stato at largo,
who shall formulate and present a
memorial to the legislature at tho
adjournod session of the same, sug
gesting such changes in the road
law of this state as they think will
result in giving to tho peoplo hot*
ter public roads.
Resolved, That tho memorial to
bo prepared shall embrace these
ideas: First—That tho convicts of
the stato bo utilized as far as pos
sible. Second—That tho labor ol
the stato bear its fair proportion of
tho bnrden. Thifd—That tho prop
erty of the stato shall hear its fair
proportion by an advulorem tax.
Fourth—That a largo discretion be
left to each count}’ as to tho amount
and character of tho work to bo
dono. Fifth—That in any law that
shall bo framed tho interest of the
public shall bear against and not
with tho person in chargo of the
road work.
In pursuance of the foregoing
resolutions wo submit that tho
loads of out stato are in such a dos
plorablo condition that somo rem
ody is absolutely domandod. The
cry comes from tho public who are
compelled to endure the miseries
of corduroy, mud, sand, roots and
ruts, that combine to make the way
of the traveler and farmer ono of
expensive labor and sorrow. Year
after }\enr judges have charged
upon the subject and grand juries
presented, and to this date there
has been no relief under tho gen*,
oral law. With an earnest desire
on the part of the peoplo for bettef
roads, it is evidont that the fault
mast be in the system now in force,
In considering that system wo call
attention to the fact that it was in*
tended for a system of slavery,
Tho property owner sent
his hands under paid overseers,
and the roads in great part were
worked by compulsorj lubor. This
labor was a tax upon tho property
owner by uso of his slaves. .Since
tho abolition of slavery, road work*
ing has been voluntary and un*
equally borne. Voluntary, because
it is everydody’s business and no*
body feols that it is his duty to see
that it is done. Unequal, because
the large land owner gives no more
towards the road upon which ho
rides and upon wdiich hi? 4 teams
travel than <iho man who uses it
only as a footpath. These things,
combining, create a public senti*
ment that results in careless, iIK
directed labor, and road working
in Georgia has fcccomo ft by-word
synonomous with trifling and folly,
It is also true that the necessities of
an increasing population demand
an amount and character of labor
upon tho roads which far exceeds
that required by a sparser pupula*;
tion.
Tho question then is, what is the
remedy? .
This iins committee committee resncctfuilv respecuuily re<* reo
ommouds that, as far as practical
ble the m i sderaean0 r convicts ho
woikcd upon tho public roads of
j the state, upon such terms as will
: each county j to sccuro the
proceeds of its own con\ict labor.
We further recommend than an
act he passed which shall provide
for a superintendent of roads fpr
each county in the state whose
<*aiy it shall bo to lay off tho pub*
Ji c roads in sections, and, as the
road authorities of each, county
may detcTtnine, cither let them

\ Good Story.
-
Charley Wheeler, of the chambor
of commerco tells tho following
story:
“I have a married cousin who
lives on a nico iittlo place in the
suburbs of Peoria, Ill. His homo*
stoad includes an aero or so of
ground, and ho is thus enabled to
enjoy tho delights of fresh drawn
ogg, and now laid milk and garden
sass. Ho keeps ono cow—a fawn
colored Jersey, with a pedigree a
yard long, and blue ribbon on her
horns. Distillery mash was just
then coming into use as a food for
stock, and my cousin concluded
that he would experiment with it.
“Distillory smash, which is the
residue of tho grain after it has
served tho distiller’s purposo, is
supposed to bo innocent, although
its value on tho bovino bill of fare
has boon questioned,
“Well, my cousin had a load do*,
livered at his houso, and tho next
morning began foeding it to his
Jersey. It was cheap, and ho did
not stint on tho quantity.
“It happened that his wifo’s
undo from Oquawka was billed to
visit them that day, and when my
cousin went homo he found tho old
gontlcman onsconced on tho front
piazza as cornfoi table as you
please. The old fellow* by tho way
was a strict prohibitionist and ho
could hardly forgivo his niece for
marrying a man who lived in tho
distillery town of Peoria. My
cousin was very attentive for tho
Oquawka sagciv is well fixed and
my cousin’s wifo was his favorito
niece. At dinner the old man
wouldn’t drink tea nor coffee, and
my cousin pressed upon him a
huge bowl'of milk fresh from tho
Jersey cow*. Undo drained tho
last drop and called for moro.
“ ‘Tell yo,’ t said lie, that’s the stufT
ter drink. I don’t soo how any*,
body kin drink.poor Peory whisky
when they kin get this.’ ”
“After dinner all hands adjourn*
od to the piazza. My cousin nos
ticed that quite a change had come
over the old man. Ilia eyes
sparkled, his face flushed, and in a
fow moments he began singing
“For I’m a Jolly Good Fellow,” to
the horror of his nieco who had
ne’*er hoard anything lighter than
‘Auld .Lxng Syno’ from his lips,
The hired knan happened along
just then and tho old man chal
lenged him to a wrestling match,
‘side holts.’ Then ho wanted to
mil a foot race with my cousin,
who thotigbt the ,old gontlcman
was crazy, and was about to tele
phooo to town for a patrol wagon
when tho old man jumped off the
piazza and sprained his ankle,
“After they had got the old man
safely to hod my cousin begau to
investigate. IIo happened to think
of tho milk and went to tho pantr} 7
andtastedof.it. It was as good
milk punch, barring a little sugar,
as ever you tasted. Ho saw it all
now; The distilery mash had done
tho. business. IJe fed it to tho cow
and she produced milk punch.

“Is tho cotton crop out of dan««

“Not altogether. It is, as far as
being damaged by tho woathor di*

ever, suffer if tho continued rains
bring caterpillar. This is a result
of long and rainy seasons. Not

Tho seasou has boon most favor¬

the farmers are prosperous, and
are jubilant over what thoy call
the most prosperous year sinco tho

“What other crops aro flourish*

“Tho pea crop will not bo one*

planted peas with other crops, ex*
posting to mako a pasture, tho
vines havo grown and covered tho

havo covered tho corn stalk, and it
is almost hidden by tho donso foil*
