August 10.
The legislature was offered by Sen
ai0IS Felder, Stevens, Henderson and
Peacock on Monday a solution of the
convict problem m Georgia, on which
it is believed all the opposing ele
nients will agree before the hour for
adjournment next Wednesday. It is
known the opponents of the present
lease system will accept it, and it is
understood the leading advocates of
-the Holder bill in both house and
senate are m sympathy with the
main principles carried in the new
This solution of the problem In
nef provides foi the total abolish
ment of the present prison conugs
«on. and states that a board of »v
ei1 Sectors, to be named by the gov
ernor tor terms ot from one to six
years each, shall take the place of the
commission in the management ot the
Georgia prison department; that the
fuvicts | e f u nionihs, left over after for the the counties next etgh- have
!5£ ss wtirs
fur^s^erivedYherefrom derived therefrom sSl'Sfaa^d shall oe used
as a special fund to buy lands for
state convict farming. The convict
lease system is then to end forever ■
A pardon secretary is provided for,
and also a general manager and cler
ical force to w r ork under the direction
of the (board. The members of the
board are to work without fees, but
will be paid their expenses up to four
dollars per day.

tinue its work until Wednesday.

by Senator Martin, to amend the pn
mai > election laws of Georgia
August 77 11.
All that can be said of the legisla
ture’s efforts on Tuesday to reach a
solution of the convict problem is that
the senate stripped and squared off
for the fight which must take place
in that branch before the house of
representatives can get at the ques
tion again. The morning hours were
spent in discussing the Holder bill,
the Felder substitute and in clearing
the way for this battle, and when the
hour for noon adjournment arrived
the preliminaries had barely been
completed.
The entire time of the senate at
the afternoon session was occupied
in discussing the Felder substitute of
the convict bill and considering the
ami-lobbying bill.
At the night session of the senate,
the bill by Mr. Adams of Chatham
making it a misdemeanor for a mon
lender to charge a rate of interest

Wisdom in a Brickyard.
A very sensible bit of advice «•
pressed in homely language was gti.
en by a man not long ago to aa a
citaole and quarrelsome friend. II
was in a brickyard, and two of the
workmen had engaged in an angry
dispute, which culminated in a fierce
encounter.
In the skirmish one of the com¬
batants was nastily hurt on the head,
and the employer, who happened to
come on the scene of action when
the fight was finishing and was a
man of more temper than d'.-crettoa,
advised fhe injured one to get a war
rant for the other’s arrest.
While the matter was being die
cussed by a number of workmen who
had gathered round, a big, burly fel¬
low, who had heard evt rything and
seen the whole affair, made his way
to the man with the damaged cranium
and said:
“You don’t want to get no warrant,
Bill. You just go to the chemist’s
shop and get yerself two pieces of
piarster—good, big ones—and put one
piece cn yer head an’ the other on
yer mouth, an’ you'll be all right.”—

“Did you enjoy your auto ride with

“No, the gasolene gave out and we
had to push the machine home.”
“That wasn’t much fun."
“No, I never like horseplay."
