! road congress do?
good roads?
are among the many ques¬
tions asked in regard to the recent
road congress.
The congress had no actual author¬
ity to do anything, but the effect, of
its meeting and actions will result in
groat good.
The character of the men who com¬
posed the congress, and the number
of them, representing a large majori*
ty of the counties of the State, shows
the interest our people feel in having
good roads, which can only be
brought about by a. decided change
in the present road laws.
A few of the counties now have
special laws, and are working the
county convicts, and from these we
had reports showing the benefits of
better roads, the character, cost, etc.,
of the convict labor.
The people of Georgia have not
been satisfied with the leasing to
private parties and giving to them
the punishment of her crimminals in
the penitentiary; but there has been
no.general sentiment in favor of a
dhange, simply from the fact that
they did not know of any better plan
to dispose of them.
The interchange of opinions in this
congress showed that there is p better
plan, and one that the State will be
relieved from the odium of the pre¬
sent penitentiary system, and make
the criminals of the State do some¬
thing that will be beneficial to their
other fellow-citizens.
Mayor Glenn voiced the feelings of
the congress in his admirable address
when he said: “Your criminals have
injured you by violating the Jaws
you have for the protection of so¬
ciety, and in their punishment it is
right and proper'they should make
some reparation to you and they
can best do that by giving by their
labor good public highways.” In
the reports from Fulton, Bibb and
Richmond, who now have special
road laws and are working convicts
the had much valuable in¬ ;
congress
formation.
Col. Adair, of Fulton, gave valu-
ble information as to the .cost of
feeding of convicts and character of
work done, and the benefits result¬
ing therefrom. The character of soil
of Fulton county is such that is neces¬
sary to macadamize to give good
roads in winter. Of twenty-one
miles of road macadamized at a
cost of one hundred and eighty
thousand dollars, the property on
the line of this road has increased in
market value over one million «i
dollars. The cost of feeding Fulton’s
convicts was eleven eents per day.
Mr.* Huff, of Bibb, gave valuable
information as to working, cost, etc.
Bibb’s convicts are fed for nine cents
per day. Mr. Huff is taking a great
interest in this question, and being a
member of the present legislature
willaid very materially in bringing
about a decided change in the pre¬
sent road laws. He is very decided
on the question of working the con¬
victs on the public roads, and like
the little boy about his bread and
jam, he “wants them right now.”
Judge Eve, of Richmond county,
who as comity judge has charge of
the public roads of his county, in
his speech gave the congress a great
deal of very valuable and practible
information.
The character of thesoil and roads
of Richmond county being similar to
that of a majority of the ’State,"
makes the results of the working of
their present syetem important to a
larger number of counties than any
other.
The reports from this and the other
counties show that the rations furn¬
ished the convicts is superior to that
furnished the ordinary laborersinthe
State. Judge Eve stated that the
feeding of,their conviets cost between
eleven and twelve cents per day. The
cost of feeding, guard, medical atten¬
tion, michinery, in fact, all 'expenses—exclusive
of tools and work ani¬
mals—-was thirty-one cents per day.
In a number of years, under the
system, only two deathshadoccured.
One accidental and one from heart
disease in less than a' week after
reaching the camp. The escapes had
been only ten in nine yeans.
The slimate being mild, ordinary
tents suffices for convicts, guards
and superintendent, trees at a suita¬
ble distance being easily found to
which could be attached the main
chain for the security of the convicts
from escape. Instead of there being
any fear on the part of the people o f
the convicts being near them, differ¬
ent neighborhoods were clamorous
for the gang to be put to work on
their road. The general impression
is that convict labor, as now used,
does not compete much with frte la¬
bor. One chse can be cited, it may
be an extreme one, but is neverthe¬
less a true one. ,
Before the Chattahoochee Brick
Company, who use convict* labor,
started, there were one hundred brick
yards around Atlanta, now there are
only three, except the above named,
and they are run by parties who
making brick for a special purpose,
their own building, 0 q it may be
the Chattahoochee
aaxfiS^L tion that Atlanta had of 8,000deriv¬
ing their support from brick making.
Three hundred of the States conyict*
have driven these 2,000 men from
their legitimate support and perhaps
from the State.
It is claimed that convicts are
worked no harder than free laborers.
One hundred brick yards evident¬
ly made money around Atlanta, for
they continued the work until the
Chattahoochee Brick Company drove
them out, and the people of Atlanta
do not have the character ojf working
for nothing.
They necssarily had faithful work
from their employees, yet we find that
three hundred convicts supplied the
demand for brick that it toolc two
thousand free laborers to do.
All this information having bean
brought forward and discussed, Will
put our people tothinking more op
this subject. Different ideas will be
advanced, and when the legislature
meets, the committee with President
Northen at its head, will go before
that body with some well form¬
ulated plana for the hetter workifig
of our public highways and on# cer¬
tain to bp (unbraced will be the use
of the criminals of the State Jm giving
us good roads.
Therefore, Mr. Editor, I have no
hesitation in saying that good- re¬
sults tothe peojfle of Georgia are
certain to come from the recent road
