Spent $3,000,000
On Good Rocxds
4tlanta. G«-, -June 22.—Georgia
3 pent $3,000,000 on good roads in
be year ending May 31. according
o data compiled by the prison
ommission for the annual report,
now in the Lands of the printers.
This report is a remarkable
ribute to the change in Georgia’s
ystem of employing convicts, and
above all things else vindicates
be wiping out of the old lease
-ysteru and placing the convicts on
he public roads. The new sys-
cem went into effect in April, 1909,
tnd in the two intervening years
hundreds of miles of line pikes
nave been built all over Georgia.
Injround figures there are over
>,000 convicts on the roads of the
-tate, one-half misdemeanor. At
-.his time 111 of the 146 counties
are working the convicts on their
voads, twenty-four counties take
their full quota, but lease them to
adjoining counties, taking pay in
work on the roads of counties so
leasing. This leaves only eleven
counties not using convicts on
their roads, and it U the opinion
the commission that these eleven
will soon be under the banner of
road progress.
The statistics compiled are vol¬
uminous and interesting. One
half of the convicts in the state
are between the ages of 20 and 29,
and two-thirds between the ages of
10 and 39. Fully one-half the
total number arc wholly illiterate,
and less than one per cent, having
what may be termed a higher
education. Less than one-half can
read and write.
The commission calls attention
o the alarming increase in the
lumber of murder and assault
with intent to murder convictions.
This condition has existed since
906, aud each year marks dread¬
ful increases in homicides.
There are now 2,668 felony con¬
victs in Georgia, an increase of
120 over the previous year. There
are 2,347 misdemeanors. In the
past ten years there has been an
ncrease of 423 felony convicts
and only 125 misdemeanors.
According to the figures there
are 2,312 negro male felony con¬
victs, sixty-one negro females, 290
white male felony convicts, and
five female white felony convicts.
There are 2,046 negro male mis¬
demeanors. 176 white male misde¬
meanors, 121 negro female mis-
lemeanors. and only one white fe¬
male misdemeanor.
The increase in the penitentiary
population from the beginning of
the old lease system to the present
has been 216 per cent. It is esti¬
mated that it takes $71 per annum
for maintenance of male convicts
on the state prison farm, and $48
for females. The prison farm is
far from self-sustaining, due large¬
ly to the fact that all of the incom¬
petents, crippled, feeble and old
convicts are sent there, and their
productive power is very small.
Two Hotel Men
Are Indicted
Cordele. Ga., June 29. The
3risp county grand jury, which
reconvened on Monday, took a re-
:ess subject to the call of the fore¬
man to day, after making many
important recommendations and
indicting many offenders of the
law. Six indictments for the ille¬
gal sale of whiskey were return¬
ed, three against white men and
diree against negroes.
Probably the most sensational of
*11 the bills returned were two
against A. M. Bell and W. P. Ken¬
dall, who operate the.Grand Union
hotel in this city, charging them
with keeping on hand at their place
of business at the Grand Union
Hotel, in the eating room and
office, spirituous, malt and intoxi¬
cating drinks.
Many other bills charging minor
offenses have been returned, and
many bills charging pistol-carrying
coucealed and without license, will
be in order for trial at the conven¬
ing of Crisp county superior court.
It is expected that Judge Whip¬
ple will call a special session at a
later date for the purpose of try-
