Superintendent E. A- Wimbueh of
the Bibb county chalngang and Re
corder Nottingham will have pjpers
ready today for presentation to the
board of county commissioners at their
meeting tomorrow, recommending that
a county farm be provided for the pur
pose of working the women and dis
abled criminals of ths city of Maror.
and Bibb county. Since the purpose
of the two officials was made known
there has been considerable discus
sion of the proposed farm. Many of
the cltlsens of the county have ex
pressed themselves as strong,/ in fa
vor of the plan, and It now remains
for the promotsrs to find drhat favor
the commissioners will show their new
proposition.
It has been known for a number of
years that the superintendent has been
troubled with the problem of handling
the disabled prisoners and the fe
males. lie has held those who have
been nick In the hospital camp on ac
count of being unable to employ
them. The road duty hns proven too
severe for many of the women and the
disabled, and this work must bo done
or the prisoners remain Idle at an ex
pense to the county.
The female prisoners have done
light work on the road In B'bb county
for a number of years, but Superinten
dent Wlmbush has stated that ihe rood
duty could not be done bv he female
prisoner* and he has also lwen mow
to send them to this work. "Tho
chalngang at Bibb county bus a large
number of female prisoners eveiy year
from the city of Macon,'* said Mr.
Wlmbush In discussing the new prop
osition. "and these prisoners have
never been plated on the road tccor.1-
Ing to my wish. I have twn numbers
of them prove unable to stand the
work, although some of them heve
handled the shovel exceedingly well.
"Our hospital camps have been filled
with disabled and female prisoners fer
a long time, and there Is room for a
change which will mean much to both
the city and the count;. I find that
some of the prisoners who enter upon
the road duty fall, and 1 can no longer
feel willing to go nhend with my work
while these prisoners (lie Ir.to the hos
pital camps apparently overworked.
Many such occurences world lefieot
upon the management and the entire
system If strangers could see It with
out understanding the rtltuurlon.
"Our efforts will he made to get
the county commissioner* to under
stand the condition of affairs at the
meeting of tomorrow, and then there
will be no trouble In gctUng so?no
change for the better.
Of conrss, we do not expect the farm
for the illnnbtcd and the female prisoner:
(0 be secured on a moment's notice. Our
plans Involve some Important considera
tions and at least some expenae to the
county and It may be some time before
Ihe fruits of the plan will be renllsed, but
It ought to be started and we have suc
ceeded to a large degree If we have
awakened an Interest.
"A county farm for the class of pris
oners mentioned will be no amsll addi
tion to the present system and It la fully
realised that there la much work to be
done to put It Into effect. The atrongest
argument ther la to be made for ths
furm, besides the fact that it will offer
humane employment for those who are
unable to do the work on the roads, la
the point which haa been made relative to
the saving which will come to the county
through the work of three prlaoners 4n the
farm products which will be fumtahed.
It la not too much to any that a farm of
the kind proponed will pay all Ita expenses
and half of the expenaee Incurred In pro.
vtdlng food for the other prisoners and
the stock used by the county."
The men who have propoeed the farm
are deeply Interested In It And they will
make an effort at the meeting of the com
missioners tomorrow to show all the ad
vantages to be derived from It. Nothing
can be stated aa to what will be done with
the propoeltlon. but It la sure to have full
consideration and It has already proven
more than an ordinary matter.
Recorder Nottingham and Huperlntend-
ant Wlmbush have been buay with the
plana since ihey determined to appear be
fore the commissioner* and they are pre-
pared to make a strong plea when an op
portunity In afforded.
They will propose that the farm be op
erated aa a branch of the county chain-
gun* and will ask that landa sufficient for
the employment of the prisoner* mention
ed be purchased and put In condition to
yield satisfactorily whan ths labor Is
utilised.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
CHANGES PETITION
Asked Council for Quarter* In New
Auditorium and Really Wanted
Council Chamber—Action of Coun
cil Will Be Delayed.
The committee from the Macon
Chamber of Commerce who presented
a petition to the city council two
weeks ago asking that quarters for
this organisation be given In the new
auditorium, have withdrawn the pa
per and the aotlon of council on the
request will very likely not take place
at the meeting of council tomorrow
night. It has developed that the peti
tion was drawn up In an Improper
form and the’ committee withdrew In
order to present another more accord
ing to their wishes. This will likely
he done at the session of council to
morrow night.
The Chamber of Commerce stated
that their quarters would be moved
shortly and requested that council
give space In the new auditorium
for the meetings of that body. The
error was In asking for the audito
rium. When the new petition Is pre
sented <t will ask that the Chamber
of Commerce be given the use of the
council chamber for Its meetings and
the committee from council having
charge of the petition will then make
recommendations and council will act.
It Is generally expected that ac
tion on the petition of the Chamber of
Commerce will be taken tomorrow
night, but on account of the error It
will be taken at a later meeting. A
change of quarters will be made by
the Chamber of Commerce whatever
be the result of the petition to council.

Durlng the next few years the Isth
mus of Panama is going to be a v*»ry
busy place. First It will be the scene
of the greatest sanitary crusade the
world has ever known, and after the
disease fighters will come the picked
army of engineers and builders, who
will execute the most gigantic task the
fertile mind of man has ever planned.
The warfare for order and cleanliness
has begun. The advance guard are up
on the ground, and the preliminary
work Is under way. A recent south
bound ship had among Its cargo fifty
barrels of crude pretroleum and twenty
tons of white lead. The petroleum was
the first Installment of destrlctlve
forces to be used in the campaign
against the mofqulto. and the white
lead to he used In the first coat of paint
which la to be put upon the two thou
sand buildings that were bought from
the French.
Only those who have seen Panama,
rotting In Its filth, can appreciate the
magnitude of the task awaiting those
who will undertake to reclaim IL Miles
of disease-breeding marshes must be
drained and filled; a rigid Inspection
of premises must be instituted; all
breeding places of mosquitoes must be
abolished; sewerage must be supplied
for the cities; and a ayatem of water
works provided for the whole Isthmus,
so all the people may have access to
pure water from the heads of streams
In the mountains, Instead of that which
In polluted by the marshes and cess
pools.
Trained Men in Charge
The men who will conduct this
great work are trained In their re
spective lines. Most of their names
nre linked with great successes- in
other places. The entire sanitary
measures of the canal zone are under
the direction of Colonel William C.
Gorgns. U. S. A., whose achievements
In Havana are so well known and
appreciated, both In the United States
and in Cuba. It will be remembered
that Colonel Gorga* upon his return
from Cuba, was sent to Egypt, via the
Suez Canal, where he had an oppor
tunity of conferring with many au
thorities on sanitary conditions and
measures. He la a son of General
Gorgas, who was chlef-of-ordnance in
the Southern Confederacy. He has on
his staff. Dr. Thomas C. Lyster and
Dr. J. R. Rosa, the latter having
cessfully conducted the Las Animas
yellow fever hospital in Havana, af
terward converting it Into a hospital
for the treatment of tuberculosli
disease much more to be dreaded In the
Greater Antilles than yellow fever ever
was.
The police force la In actual oper
ation. Captain 8hanton, the chief, was
with General Davis In Porto Rico. His
force In well equipped. The men wear
helmets of appropriate design, uni
forms of khaki, russet shoes, canvas
legglns. etc. It la claimed that the po
lice force of the canal zone will be ono
the best-appointedi organizations
of the kind In the world.
General George Davis. U. 8. A.,
tired. Is governor of the zone, nnd Ad
miral Walker is In command of the
constructive force. The prosecuting
attorney, Mr. J. Marbourg Keedy. held
the some office In Porto Rico under
General Davis. John Barrett, the first
minister to Panamu, la one of the most
capable men In the American diplo
matic corp* Although a young man,
ho Is a veteran In the work, having
service In ulmoat every part of
the world. Judge Magoon. law officer
of the canal commission? Is a specialist
In the kind of work he will have to
perform, on account of his experience
In the bureau of Insular affairs. On
the whole, the men who will conduct
tho great undertaking, nre well worthy
of the high truat placed in them by the
governnment.
Shiploads of Junk.
The surviving parties now working
at various points along the proposed
line of the canal report that the French
great deal more than they were
generally accrdlted with, although In
many places the value of their evacu-
by drift wood and tropical growth. The
plan of the French company will be fol
lowed wherever it 1* feasable, and the
fact Is that In a great many Instances
It cannot be Improved upon. The dam
age to all property on the isthmus
arising from neglect Is something
apalllng. It Is a fact that all wood
build!ngs In the tropics need constant
attention to keep them from becoming
shabby In appearance, as well as to
prevent decay. Th* Ifijury to most of
ths machinery that was left exposed to
the weather has been found to be al
most Irreparable. The French spent
$29,000,000 for mechanical apparatu*
and of this entire amount barely $2.
000.000 worth can be utilized. As soon
as the available materials are deter
mined upon there will be several ship
load* of old Iron for sale. A number of
large American foundries are already
negotiating with the commission for
the purchase of this old junk. When
It Is finally collected It will make the
most Interesting rummage sale that
has ever occurred In any country.
There is still some doubt as to the
final disposition of the work, whether
It Is to be done by contract entirely,
or partially, or whether the government
will assume the entire authority. No
bids have aa yet been made for fu
nlahtng supplies, machinery, etc. When
all the machinery 1ft by the French has
been passed upon, and when the work
progresses sufficiently to call
changes In material and machinery of
any sort, then contracts will be mad
Of course, the latest and most Im
proved machinery end appliances will
be In demand. Such a gigantic under
taking as this hould be an Incentive to
Inventer* and manufacturer* of ma
chines and appliances all ever the
world.
The law* of Fanama will be In force
until modified or amended by the com
mission. Judge Magoon Is now in
Panama, making a study of the code*
preparatory to advising changes. H
has issued an exhaustive treatise oi

self to secure the legal parity of its
fractional silver coin by the establish
ment of a reserve fund, and to deposit
1th a responsible hanking Institution
of the United States a sum equal to
15 per cent, of the nominal value of the
fractional silver currency to be issued
by the republic of Panama.
Uncle Sam Makes the Money.
"The Republic of Panama agrees to
take such steps with respect to ex
change by drafts upon its reserve fund
will tend to prevent the disturbance
of the legal parity of the two metals,
and the coinage of the Republic of Pan
ama Is to bo executed at the mints of
the United States. The commission will
see that the gold and sliver coin of the
Republic of Panama is maintained as
legal tender In the canal zone by the
enactment of proper and necessary leg
islation. It will employ such gold and
•liver coin of the Republic In Its dis
bursements in the canal zone as It may
find practicable and convenient."
It has been decided that no gambling
concessions will be permitted within
the canal strip. Even the lottery, which
for centuries had added zest to the lives
of all residents of Panama, from the
president to the mule driver, will have
to go out of business. While no applica
tions have been made for concessions
for any forms of popular amusement. It
Is not probable that any decent attrac
tion will be prohibited.
It Is estimated that when the work
Is actually Inaugurated there will be
between 75,000 and 100,000 people on
the strip. From 20.000 to 30,000 la
borers'will be required, though It Is
still problematical as to the date when
this number will be engaged. Such a
number of people will be In need of
many things, and It goes without say
ing that sellers of almost every article
will find buyers.
Seven Thousand Applications.
It Is astonishing how many people
are desirous of securing employment
In Panama. The secretary of the
commission says he now has on file
about 7.000 applications for positions
of various kind* and that out of these
only about 100 have a chance of accept
ance. The commission will only ap
point men as they ore needed, and will
go slowly in Inaugurating bureaus,
office# and so on.
The snlarlefl off-red are not enough
to attract skilled labor of any kind.
Stenographers, auditing and bookkeep
ing clerks are not being offered over
$1,200 as a rule, and the plainest lodg
ing and living costs between $50 and
$60 n month, and Is hard to get even at
that. Given a tropical cllmat
cumscrlbed nn>a, uncomfortable quart
er* indifferent food, absence from
home, liability to tho many diseases of
n untried climate, and a bare living Is
the only compensation in return. Yet
there are many times 7,000 venture
some souls in the United States who
would break their necks to go if they
hud the chance.

The science of geodesy !s making
rapid strides along the line of aceuracy,
and there la not much left to be per
fected In the way of method. The all-
important problem of modern aa well
aa ancient geodesy, of course, la the
measurement of the dimension! of the
earth, which enters Into all practical
work of surveying, navigation and ter
restrial phystes. The International
Geodetic Association several years ago
undertook the problem, the different
nations having agreed to contribute
their share toward an accurate deter
mination. As has already been re
corded. the determination wus under
taken In Ecuador, In 1901, and extended
from the Colombian to the Peruvian
frontier, and every 'possible refinement
to attain the maximum degree of ac
curacy was adopted. The greatest dif

Even the Infinitesimal variation In

Thla delicate determination Is made by
