SUPT. COOMBS SAYS GOODBYE TO CONVICTS Supt. A. B. Coombs of the state prison farm at Milledgeville lias "joined the ranks of the prison of ficials who are going to “resign from office” as a result of the dis closures brought out before the Felder investigating committee. News of the superintendent’s intentions reached Atlanta Satur day m a dispatch to The Georgian from a reliable source in Mi!ledge villo. Coombs is quoted as using some very emphatic languarge in regard to the whole convict sys tem, characterizing it as “rotten j clear tlira." Following is the dispatch: Milledgev*ille, Ga , Aug. 15. Superintendent A. B. Coombs,; of flu- state prison farm said this morning: “1 would not hold my position another year for $5,000. I have i not saved a penny for myself; while here, and have dealt with the dirtiest Hass of criminals in Georgia. Damn the whole convict system. lam done with it. No power on earth could induce me to remain at the farm another year. It is a rotten system clear' through. 1 shall resign at once. 1 have worked hard, but with no re-' ward. ” The prison commission lias not ; made public yet the fact that ; Supt. Coombs has resigned or in tends to resign, so it, is presumed j helms not notified the commis- sion of his purpose.—Saturday’s At lanta Georgian. BRYAN WILL WIN $0 SAYS CHAS. MURPHY A special from New York dated the 15th, reads as follows: “Cha9. H. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, is quoted today as having predicted the election of W. J. Bryan at the November elec t ion. “Mr. Bryan,” he is reported to have said, “is much stronger in New York state today than he was ! in either of the previous elections. Why, 1 do not know; but there is a variety of evidence on which I j base this assertion. 1 believe one! of the reasons is ihe dissatisfac- j tion with Roosevelt and his poll- 1 cies which Taft has pledged him-■ self to continue. A great many men who were with the Republi can party in the past will be with, the Democratic party this year. It means a great deal,when men like Morgan J. O’Brien and Delancey Nicoll, who opposed Brvan in the past, come out flat-footed for him. 1 believe also ,that Bryan will aid the state ticket.” Mr. Murphy said that the Dem-j ocratic candidate for governor had 1 not been decided upon. IT SEEMS THAT SOME MEN WILL SELL IT Albert and Ira Steiner, of the Atlanta Brewing A ice C'o., and James Lynch and Lorenzo Jones, allot Atlanta, but the last two being local agents for the Acme ■ Brewing Co., of Maeon, have j been charged with violating the I prohibition law. The Steiners were | placed under bonds of sl,oooeach, while Lynch and Jones notified j the sheriffs office that they would call and make bond for their ap pearance at court. W. L. Bridwell, who conducts a near-beer shop corner Marietta and Foundry streets, was also re ported as a violator, and he, too, notified the sheriff's office that he would “call.” It seems tiiat some men will j take the risk. But it lias always been thus. Hanging and burning don’t stop murder and outrages, but they hold a good stiff check on these crimes, and if ihe court < —after the big rich, well-inform ed brewers have been proven guilty i; —will place tines according to 1 1 their standing and wealth, it will i tfaeu see a wouderfuV-’heck, PENSIONERS WILL GET THEIR MITES AT ONE TIME In speaking of their tight in be half of the pensioners the Atlanta Constitution in part, says : The same legislature which en acted the quarterly-payment law soon realized its mistake and,hap pily, corrected it. Beginning with 1909 Georgia’s old soldiers and widows will, ns ' heretofore, receive their pensions in an annual lump sum, instead of the quarterly driblets which have been apportioned them this year. The inconvenience and suffering incident to the quarterly payment. plan soon became apparent. The j Constitution allowed wherein, un-I questionably, this was true, and was the first to demand in behalf; of old soldiee and widows speedy j return to the old plan. Protest after protest against the ! new system came from every quart- j er in the state; the annual on-! campment of Georgia Veterans i demanded its repeal ; the fight made by the Constitution met with widespread approval and indorsement. Now, fortunately, it is won and next yenr annual lump sum pay ments will be restored. The issue was made in many of j the counties, and practically ev-: ery candidate for representative in the new legislature came outji openly for return to annual pay ments. j I The fight was won before the people; the legislature which en acted the new law realized it, and did not hesitate to return prompt ly to the old system. And that, too, in the fnee of i positive assertion that the quart j erly payment law “must not and will not be repealed.” But the people are stronger than the powers they create, and their | voice, unmistakable in positive ness, has been heeded. Georgia’s old soldiers and wid ows may now rejoice in the fact | that the state has returned to ; them what is theirs. NEW LIFE PRESERVER I PATENTEO BY ATLANTIAN L. D. McDonald, who resides at i the Peachtree inn, returned to At lanta Friday from a visit to Wil mington. N. C., where he had been on a visit to the seashore for the purpose of giving his new life ■ preserver a thorough trial. The life preserver which was in vented and patented by Mr. Mc- Donald is something new, nnd de- i cidedly unique. It consists of a belt and strap, with four com pressed air tanks of zinc to be strapped around tlio waist. It is not cumbersome, and is light and j durable, Mr. McDonald was grat ified to find that lus invention proved a perfect success. The preserver was given a thor ough test by James G. Phillips,, life saver at the seashore hotel ul Wilmington, who furnished Mr. McDonald with a certificate, stat ing that he had thoroughly tested the preserver and had found it to come up to all that was claimed for it. Mr. Phillips went 800 yards from the shore, tested it in every conceivable way and found it impossible to submerge himself. Mr. McDonald will either manu facture the p r eservers or dispose of the patent to some manufac turer. Snnkey, the famous evangelist and hymn writer, died at his home on South Oxford street, Brooklyn, N. Y., Thursday night. Mr. San key was famous throughout the English-speaking world. He is dead, but his* work here on earth Will never be forgotten . THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—'I'II P USD AY, APG 2u, 190*. VETERAN POLICEMAN KILLED AT NEW ORLEANS Jas. J. Carroll, a veteran police officer, was totally wounded by a negro cook, who was subsequently shot to death, while resisting ar ! rest in n diner at the Louisville and Nashville depot Friday morn ing. The original difficulty grew out of two negroes disputing over, money matters. Almost a riot was precipitated ! by the killing of the policeman. The negroe’s name was Francis | Barrelsford and he was at work on the Louisville A Nashville dining! 1 car Tonga. Barrelsford narrowly escaped j meeting death at the hands of an- I gry citizens as he was being car j j ried, mortally wounded, from lie* I car. lie is now in a hospital and ! will die, as will also George Scott, a negro waiter. Detective Stubbs and Sergeant Wheatley shot, him after Ins mur derour attack upon officer Carroll,! who died in the vestibule of the; car. GOV. SMITH VETOES THE SCHOOL BOOK BILL Gov. Smith on Saturday last, de cided to veto the school book bill : which extends the contract with the American Book Co. two years . more. This veto makes it neces-! ■ sarv that new contracts lie made at the end of this year, and new bids for supplying the books will therefore be ordered. i Several other bills were placed before the governor, but were not considered by him. A crush ul 1 other duties kept him from giving them the attention he desires, so | they went over to this week. | Speaking of the ten survivors of | President Cleveland’s twocabinets lan exchange says: Mr. Francis land Mr. Herbert are said to have written letters pledging their sup port to Mr. Bryan; Messrs. Vilas, jolney, Harmon, Smith and Col i man have said publicly that they I would support the tiCKet. Mr. i Dickinson is very ill and cannot I | take part in the campaign, but Isays he is anxious for Democratic ; success. Only two have not been heard from. One of the coaches and the en gine which, it is charged, were shot into by striking coal miners near Blooton, Ala., have been ear ! ried to the L. &N. shops at De- 1 ciitur, Ala., for repairs. All the Windows in the conch are broken out and the side ol the car is bud ly marked with bullet holes. The cab windows of the engines and u number of the small parts of the engine are shot away.
