Road Machinery Purchased.
For some eight years Wilkes coun
ty has expended annually large sums
of money for good roads. The work
has been accomplished through the
moans of improved road working ma
chinery and convicts. On account of
the shrinkage in the number of con
victs thus employed, the county com
missioners have been forced to ex
pend some six hundred dollars in the
purchase of steel road workers, which
are said to do the work of twenty-five
men. With these machines and suffi
cient. mule power to manipulate them,
the commissioners hope io make up
the deficit in convict labor.
A :.t
Convicts May Come Higher.
As the legislature at the coming
session will have to make .v jie pro
vision for t.he state convic’ , that is
now one of thq absorb' g topics
among members f that k iy and oth
ers who are inte/estc-T for various rea
sons, public or .Qivate.
In the light (^present conditions, if
is considered Cat Georgia should re
ceive at least ^>200 per year for each
able-bodied convict whose labor is
leased under any contract to be mado
by the state. This is just double the
price the state is now receiving for
the services of these men, and the ex
penses of guarding and hospitals are
taken off the lessees, the state hearing
this part of the burden But condi
tions have improved so nurb, and the
demand for able-boaied labor has so
increased that those who have studied
the question assert Georgia can and
must get at least double the present
figure, if the labor cf the convicts is
to be sold again under similar condi
tions.

Will be Imposing Spectacle.
Military day of the Georgia Chau
tauqua, at Albany Tuesday. April 2$.
will witness the gathering of about
twenty-five military companies in the
city. The number may reach thirty,
Last year there were twenty-six com
panics in lino, and the display was
one of the most imposing ever wit
nesrod in the state.
This year the entire twelve compa
nies of the Fourth regiment will par
ticipate, and there will be in lire, in
addition, companies of the Second and
First regiments, the naval militia, the
Ale tin a national guard and, in all
pro; Vility, the Florida state troops.
Invf\ \ons are being issued and ar
rang, jnts made by Colonel W. E.
Woo*, commanding the Fourth regi
ment.
Some idea of the size of me mili
tary parade may be obtained from the
fact that no less than ninety horses
will be required for officers’ mounts.
Of this number fifty will be in lino
fifty strong. It. will be the first ap
perance of Governor Terrell’s aides in
their gorgeous new uniforms, and
their coming is anticipated with a
good deal of interest.
Chautauqua begins on Sunday, April
2G, and continues through eight days.

Status of Cogs to be Decided.
The status cf the dog in the state
of Georgia, under Georgia law, will
be tested by a damage suit that has
been appealed to the Fulton count.*’
superior court from a justice court
and which will be decided by Judge
J. If. Lumpkin. The outcome of the
case will bo of interest to thousands
of people throughout the state, and
especially to those who own valuable
canines.
The suit was brought by William P.
O’Neal against, the Central ot Georgia
Railway Company, and the rmiu
question at issue is whether under
the Georgia.law a dog has any value.
O’Neal was the owner of an Italian
greyhound, which was run over and
killed by a Centra] road train. O’Neal
later instituted suit in a justice court
against the road for the sum of $100.
The justice, on the trial, decided in
favor of the railroad company, holding
that a dog has no value, under tho
law. Attorneys representing C Neal
then appealed the case by certiorari
to the superior court, and it is under
stood that it will be taken to the su
preme court should the decision of the
justice be sustained.
It is stated tliat years ago the su
preme court held that, dogs in Georgia
have no value, but the attorneys for
the plaintiff contend that more recent
legislative enactments, by which dogs
are decreed property and rendered
subject to taxation, have reversed the
original decision. They claim that
these developments give to canines
a value.
RUSSIAN STRIKERS KILLED IN RIOT

southern imperial mines. The strike

release of three of their comrades

FRAUD CHARGED TO APPLICANTS.
Confusion is Caused in Alabama Anent

iners, which has in charge the matter
of issuing licenses to teacners, has

discovery that wholesale frayd has
