It show's a treasury balance of $419,075.51 as against $501,340.25, at Iho end of the preceding quarter.

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convicts to work on the public roads, in lieu of any share in the net hire of convicts for school purposes, has been withdrawn.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.
