J- Pope Brown Chairman.
At a meeting of the railroad com
mission held in Atlanta the past week.
Hon. J. Pope Brown was elected chair
man to serve for the next two years.
Mr. Brown has been a member of the
commission for the last four years,
having been appointed by Governor
Candler. He has two years longer .o
serve.
The meeting was interesting, both
on this account and because it was
the first meeting attended by Hon. K.
Warner Hill, of Meriwether, who suc
ceeds Judge Spencer R. Atkinson as
a member of that body.
Reward Fund Dwindles to Nothing.
Only $350 remains in jhe trea
sury for the purpose of paying re
wards to persons who capture crimi
nals. and when the captors of John
Harris, tse slayer of Patronman Dras
| bach in Atlanta, are paid, there will
' remain only SIOO in me state fund,
j And what is more, $15,000 in rewards
have been offered since Governor Ter
rell w r as inaugurated. There are sev
eral claims pending now, and if they
are paid there will be no money on
hand for the captors, so far as the
state is concerned.
Strange to say, the legislature al
lows only $2,000 a year for the purpose
of paying rewards. This money comes
from the fund derived from the hire of
convicta. Nearly every day there is
an application for a reward, and it has
reached the point almost that nobody
is ever caught unless -a reward is of
fered.
In his next message to the general
assembly the governor states that he
will recommend an increase in the
amount allowed for rewards.
Many Counties May Prefer Cash.
The application of Tattnall county
for convicts to work on the public
roads, in lieu of any share in the net
hire of convicts for school purposes,
has been withdrawn. The prison com
mission received a letter from the
clork of the Tattnall county commis-!
sioners stating that in * iew of the
large amount to be received-from eon-!
viet hire, and the expense tfie county
would be put to in working its own
men, the commissioners had decided
to withdraw Tattnall’s application and
let the county participate in the pro
ceeds.
While this is the only official an- \
nouncement of the withdrawal by any
county of its application for convicts
for public road work, it is reported
that several other counties which are
entitled to a comparatively small num
ber of men, will also elect to take the
cash. In addition to the loss of a con
siderable amount of school money, j
tho working of convicts by a county !
means the added expense of feeding, |
doctoring, housing and guarding the I
men so used, and this appears to have
made some of the counties stop and
consider.
With the convicts bringing an aver
age of $225 each, the net proceeds
will be somewhere in the neighbor
hood of $l6O per manj This would
give a county entitled to ten convicts
for work oa the roads $1,600 a year
for its school fund, should it partici
pate in the division of the cash.

Health Officer Makes Tour.
Dr. H. F. Harris, secretary of the
state board of health, has just return
ed to Atlanta from a trip through
southern Georgia, where he went to
Investigate particularly the smallpox
situation.
_ i
“There is no doubt about smallpox
existing all over the south and middle
Georgia,” Dr. Harris said. “It is to be
found, too, In the northern part of the
state, but that section I have not in
vent as yet.
“There was scarcely a town I visited
in middle and south Georgia where
there are not or.s or more cases of the
disease. I found the disease prevalent
even to a greater extent than I had
anticipated. There are only two things
that can be done to stamp it out and
prevent its spread—vaccination and
quarantine. In most cases the local
health authorities. I found, were pros
ecuting a vigorous campaign against
the disease. Vaccination is being
used in practically all of the infected
localities, but in many places there
was no quarantine established. In sev
eral instances I arranged with the lo
cal health authorities to quarantine
the cases and the houses in which they
were confined.
“The disease is not of a virulent
tvpe and there have been very few
deaths, but there is no telling at what
time it might become more severe.
There should be no abatement of the
active campaign against its spread.*
Dr. Harris spent over two weeks in
the southern part of the state investi
gating health conditions. He correct
ed the report published some time ago
relative to the existence of typhoid
fever at Thomasville. He made an in
vestigation of conditions there and
found no fever at all.
