The amendment also looks to the
construction by the state of a sys¬

The Holder bill provides that upon
the expiration of the present lease
system on March 31. 1909, the founda
tion of a fund shall be begun which
will be used for working all the fel
onv and misdemeanor convicts of the
state on the public roads. Counties
and municipalities will have the priv
ilege of using them for this purpose,
ibeginning April 1, 1909, the remainder j
to be leased out to individuals until

date no convicts whatever shall be
leased to private parties.
IN THE SENATE.
One bill and three substitutes were 1
presented in the senate regarding a
reformation in the present convict
lease system and the prison commis
sion Thursday. After adopting the
report of the penitentiary committee,
the senate heard the Felder bill for
its third p-eading. When it was put
on its passage, Senators Boyd, Brock
and Born each introduced a substi
ni(e.
A conference of senators draughted
what was read in the senate Friday
morning as substitute bill No. 1 for
the Felder bill, providing for the dis¬
position to be made of the state’s con¬
victs.
Before the bill had come up for its
first reading, the signatures of twen¬
ty-three members of the upper house
had been affixed to it, insuring their
support and its passage through the
senate. Their stand was unanimous 1
except regarding the provision for
abolishment of the prison commis¬
sion. Some of the signers of the bill,
reserved the right to object to that
riart 6f the substitute if they desired
to do so.
The bill is one of the most compre
hensive that has vet been offered in
solution of the question that is troub
ling the state, one of its most inter
esting features being the levying of
an income tax.
If it is finally enacted it will abolish
the prison commission on October 1,
1908.
It will create a prison board, con
sisting of the governor, the attorney
general and the commissioner of agri
culture, giving to that board the
powers and authority now vested in
the prison commission, except in so
far as those powers are
with the substitute.
It will put the felony convicts on
the public roads after April 1, 1909.
It will give the prison board direct
supervision over misdemeanor con
vict3.
It will prohibit the working of any
convicts for private parties, specify
ing that misdemeanor convicts shall
!be worked in t!*e counties where they
are sentenced.
It will provide for the improvement
of ’the state farm, and for the pur
chase and equipment of such other
farms as may be needed.
It will require that convicts on those
farms shall be females or boys under
15 years of age, or aged, infirm or

MILR01D MISSION
Makes Many Important Rulings
of Interest to Shippers.
WILL FIGHT HIGH RATES
Permission is Declined the Georgia Rail¬
road to Increase Passenger Rate
1-4 Cent a Mile.
Atlanta, Ga.—The state railroad
commission has decided to take a
hand in the fight against the increas¬
ed rates ordered J)y the railroads on
grain, hay and provisions coming into
Georgia and other southern territory
from Ohio and Mississippi river cross-^
tags. issued
The commission has an or¬
der directing its special attorney,
Judge James K. Hines, to prepare ana
present to the interstate commerce
commission an appeal for relief from
the excessive rates which the rail¬
roads are seeking permanently to im¬
pose. aetioffi part of the
This on the com¬
mission will be learned with much
gratification by the shippers of the
state who had reason to believq, as
the result of an action on the part
of that body, some time ago, that
they would be left to make the fight
single-handed.. Now that they are to
have the support of the state, strength
and encouragement wdll fie lent to
their cause.
The increased rates apply on class¬
es B, C. D and F from Ohio and
Mississippi river crossings, and were
made effective August 1. There is no
w r ay of estimating what additional ex¬
pense these increases put upon the
shippers .of Georgia, but by some it
has been put as high as $1,000,000
annually. *
The railroad commission has declin¬
ed the petition of the Georgia Rail¬
road company for permission to in¬
crease its rate of passenger fare from
2 1-4 to 2 1-2 cents per mile. The de¬
cision w r as based upon the ground
that the increase was not warranted
by the facts presented in evidence to
support the petition.
Instead of the road’s having lost
money, it was stated before the com¬
mission that its earnings for the first
six months of 1908 showed a substan¬
tial increase -over those of the same
six months of 1907, though the latter
year had prior to this time been the
banner year in its history.
The commission also directed the
Central of Georgia Railway company
to operate its Griffin passenger train
which now runs daily between Grif¬
fin and Bremen on its Chattanooga
division, between Griffin and Cedar
town for a period of six months on
trial, at the end of which time the
commission will decide whether it
will require a continuance of the
new schedule or not.
This change was made to accommo¬
date the people living along this line
between Bremen and Cedartown who
now have only one train a day each
way, while those on all other portions
of the line have a double daily serv¬
ice. It was contended that this in¬
convenienced many citizens and they
asked that the change be ordered. The
Central contends that it would lose
money through the new schedule.

Amos 4:12—Commit Verse G—
Bead 1 Sam. 27; 2 Sain. 1.
TIME.—105 6 B. C. PLACE.—

EXPOSITION.—I. The Death of
Saul and His Sons, 1-8. With this
lesson we come to the end of Saul’s
career, so promising in its beginning,
so gloomy in its ending. It is sadly
and solemnly instructivey as showing
how much a man may have and yet
his life prove an utter failure after
all. He was a goodly young man—
“there was not among the children of
Israel a goocFlier person than he’’ (1
Sam. 9:2). His father was a
•“mighty man of > alor” (1 Sam.
9:1). He was 3 mble (1 Sam.
10:22), and considerate of others
(ch. 9:5). But we find him later in
life a monster of pride, arrogance
»and self-will (ch. 18:7-11; 19:10;
20:30-33; 22:9-19). Here we have
a lesson of how little real worth there
is in merely natural virtue and how
easily it is transformed into devilish
sin. But there was promise in the
life of Saul for other reasons. God’s
grace was manifested to him (ch.
10:7-9), the Spirit of God came upon
him (ch. 10:10; 11:6), he undertook
valiant battle against the enemies of
the Lord, and won a great victory
(ch. 11). So we see that a man may
know something of the power of the
Spirit, can war to a certain extent in
the energy of the Spirit, and win vic¬
tories for God, and yet after all, be¬
come an apostate and his earthly life
close in hopeless gloom (Matt. 7:22,
23). Saul seems to have been a strik¬
ing illustration of such an one. His
decline was step by step (ch. 13:8-
14; cf. 14:18-20). His loss of the
kingdom was foretold at this first
step away from Goa. He takes a long
step further downward by positive
disobedience (ch. 15:19-23). With
this false step his rejection from the
kingdom is declared in no uncertain
terms. Finally, failing to get any
answer from the Lord about the bat¬
tle with the Philistines, he turns to
the devil (ch. 28:6, 7), and this
crowning act of apostasy leads to the
awful judgment and ruin of our les¬
son (1 Ch. 10:13, 14). No matter
how often or how completely Israel
routs the Philistines, the Philistines
are always sure to gather strength
and renew the attack (v. 1). The
Philistines had been effectually sub¬
dued in the days of Samuel (ch.
7:13). There was a great victory
under Jonathan (ch. 14). David wins
a great victory (ch. 17:52), but in our
lesson the Philistines renew the war.
“And the men of Israel fled.” Here
we see a change from the days of
Samuel and Saul’s early days, Then
the enem of the Lord fled (ch.
7:10; 11: . There is a return to
the days of Hophni and Phinehas (ch.
4:10). The explanation is simple.
Saul had disobeyed the Lord; and the
Lord had forsaken Saul (ch. 18:12;
28:15-19). However mightily the
Lord might have helped us in times
past, if we disobey Him and He for¬
sake us, our power will be gone and
defeat and shame certain, It seems
very sad to think of the noble hearted
Jonathan as involved in the over
throw of his father, But parents al
ways involve their children in the
consequences of their transgressions.
The question arises whether Jonathan
for all his generous friendship for
David and all his faith (ch. 14:6)
was faultless in the matter. He knew
that his father was rejected and
David chosen of the Lord (ch. 23 : 17 ).
Ought he net to have broken with
Saul and gone to David «( without the
camp bearing his reproach?” Hem
13:13). He came to David as Nico
demus to Jesus, under the cover of
secrecy (ch. 23:16). So he lost his
place . of
however service, as the secret disciple,
loyal he may be at heart
always does (2 Cor. 6:15-18). What
an inglorious ending to what mi°-ut
have been a glorious life (v. 4).
II. The Triumph of the Philistines,

ground of the beggar, and especially

every corner of the street; he tries
to hand you out of your carriage tbs

taurant. It is partly the influence of
the season, but it is an evil that Is al¬
