COL. STRICKLAND CHALLENGES
JUDGE TURNER TO JOINT DEBATE
Says the Entire Value-of the Convict Hire Should Go
To the People of the State,
INSTEAD OF BUILDING UP BIG FORTUNES FOR
THE LESSEES.
Action of Legislature Was Virtually a Vote of Lack
of Confidence in Chairman Turner.
» - - - ——————
Hon. Judson M. Strickland was
busy at his headquarters yesterday,
answering the many letters receiv
ed during his absence in which the
writers pledged him their hearty
support. He has just returned
from a trip through the Tenth dis
trict, which he reports as practical
ly solid for him. He has no doubt
but that he will carry Baldwin Co.
where the State* Farm is located,
though it is neighboring to Com
missioner Joe Sid Turner’s county,
as well as Hancock, on the other
side of Mr. Turner’s home.
In response to a request for an
interview on the status of his race,
Mr. Strickland made the following
interesting statement :
People Want a Change of Management.
“The further I go through the
State, the more general I find to be
the desire for a change in the
management of the prison commis
sion affairs. People are more
awake to the way in which this,
department of public affairs has
been conducted than you would
suppose. They have followed Judge
Turner's administration carefully,
and there are many things about it
that they do not approve of.
“The fact is, that the action of
the legislature in fixing a minimum
price for the present lease of con
victs, was a vote of lack of confi
dence in the present chairman of !
the prison commission, that the!
people back of the legislators recog
nized and endorsed. It seems to
me that a man of proper spirit
would have resigned after being
told that he must not accept less
than $175 per year for each con
vict, when he had been hiring them
for $96 per year and saying this
was the best price that could be
obtained or expected.
The State Robbed From Start to Finish.
“This act of the legislature
brought the lesses to terms, which
could have been done 5 years ago
by a determined stand on the part
of the prison commission, and they
will pay on the new lease, begin
ning next month, SSO more than
the minimum price, or $225 instead
of $96 per year for each convict’s
hire.
“But this is not enough. Every
able-bodied convict has always been
worth, from the time they were
i hired at sll per year, at least a
i dollar a day on the turpentine
i farms of South Georgia, or the
1 coal mines of North Georgia, or in
, building railroads; and today with
the growing scarcity of reliable free
i labor, they are worth more than
that. Why, they have been sub
leased at the present prices at SSO
profit per year each, before the lease
has ever begun.
Lessees Got Everything-- State Nothing.
“Under the old system, the state
' got nothing, but the lessees
i everything, and the present chair
man of the commission has not been
WHAT HAS BECOME OF
FERGUSON, INSURANCE AGENT ?
That is the Question That One of the General Agents
Was Asking Here Friday.
i General Agent Baldwin, of Ma- i
son, representing the Metropolitan
Lite Insurance Company, was in
the city Friday looking after the
affairs of the company and also af
ter J. F. Ferguson, the local agent
here, but whom he did not find
here. Mr. Baldwin stated to one
or two people that Mr. Ferguson is
behind in his settlements and that ;
i his affairs with the company are
■ seriously involved. A little inves
i tigation disclosed that he is also
owing numerous small accounts
1 around town.
quick enough to recognize that this
system should be practically revers
ed. The richest men in Georgia
today made their money out of con
vict leases. One man under the
last lease, accepted by Chairman
Turner and his colleagues, has
made more profit than Georgia has
received in the school fund from
this source.
“I believe that the people of.
Georgia should receive for the bene- .
fit of their children what the hire
of the convicts is actually worth,
instead of having it go to enrich a
few individuals; but with proper
management I believe this could
be secured to them, just as any
thing else can be made to bring its
proper price in open market.
Favoritism on Prison Farm.
“There is another thing in which
I would make a change, and that
is in the management of the State
Prison Farm.
“When Captain Foster, the su
perintendent of farm, a most ex
cellent and skilled farmer, as well
as a brave Confederate soldier, wrote
to Chairman Turner last year sug
gesting that the lessees were using
the state farm as a dumping ground
for convicts that they had broken
down by over-work, it was at once
reported that another man, a cousin
of Judge Turner, would succeed
him. Captain Foster wrote to
Judge Turner to know whether
this was true, and after waiting a
i reasonable length of time for a re
j ply —which has never been received
■up to this good day —resigned
rather than to be kicked out. Yet
it was Captain Foster who brought
the farm rfptoits present good con
dition, and not Chairman Turner,
who is taking all the credit for it,
just as he takes credit for even the
high price of cotton the past win
ter. He is a great hand to take
credit for whatever good there may
be in the present system, but dis
claims any responsibility for all the
bad.
‘‘ I would also try to see that the
wardens employed to look after the
interests of the state at the different
camps did not receive money from
the lessees to overlook abuses.
There are other matters of graft, too
that might be worthy the investiga
tion of a new man on the board.
Challenges Turner to Joint Debate.
“Now, I would be glad if you
would state that anything that I
have said, either here or elsewhere
in the state, I am prepared to sub
stantiate, and even add to; and if
Judge Turner cares to deny any of
it, or Lake issue with me, I would
be glad to meet him on the stump
and debate the matter with him.
In fact, as the time is too short for
a personal canvass, I challenge my
opponent to a discussion of the
management of the fGeorgia con
victs in every congressional district
in the state. He started out at
Eatonton last fall to speak on the
subject, and said he was going to
continue his speeches. Let him go
on with his speaking and I will
meet him.”
Mr. Fergus m got on the down
train to go to Barnesvibe Wednes
day morning and has not been seen
or heard of here since, so far as is
known, while one of his children
was heard to say tbit he was going
to his old home in Fredericksburg,
Va.. that night. His family is still
here, and nothing would have been
j thought of his disappearance for
such a short time, but for the state
ments ot his superior officer in the
company, although it has been
known for some time that he was
dissatisfied with his station here.

That the cotton crop, inclndirg

shown by the fact that two hun

150 BALES OF COTON BURN.
Sparks from Rasing Engine Sets Fire
to Staple.
Madison, Ga., March 12.—Over 150
bales of coton were burned and scorch
ed on the depot platform of the Geor
gia railroad this afternoon. At one
time, on account of the high wind,
the depot was threatened, but by hard
work, in which the people on the up
train on the Georgia railroad assist
ed by furnishing water from the en
gine, the fire was extinguished be
fore it could reach the depot.
One thousand bales of cotton were
sold here Friday, most of it L. ing the
property of J. W. Beerden, the larg
est cotton buyer In this section, and
it was being hauled to the depot for
shipment when the fire broke out.
The cause of the fire is unoknwn,
but it is thought it caught from a
spark from a paslng engine. The
cotton was insured.
