KmTi is the deplorable statu of affair* in
Bibb county Jail.
When white men enter there they (aunt
leave all race pride behind, and get their con
sent to eat scraps aud live with negroes.
The state law is imperative with regard to
the safe confinement of prisoners,aud tlm state
officials have no discretion in the matter.
They must take tho county jail as they find it
and lodge the prison**™ there without regard
for anything bnt their safe keeping.
Questions of space, rooms and the condi
tion of the prisoners are for the county to de
cide.
The confinement of Mack and white pri*<
nera together has caused much disoeuaior
and some severe criticism of the authorities
in Bibb, but as yet uo definite action has beeu
taken looltiug to a remedy.
The Telegraph had au interesting inter
view yesterday with Mr. 0. M. Davis, a prom
inent mend*? of the ls»ard of county commis
sioner* hi regard to the matter, the prescut
condition of ptisouers, the capacity of the
jail now, aud the capacity required, etc.
Mr. Davis said: "The present capacity of
the jail is sufficient to accommodate comfort
ably forty-seven prisoners. • •
"There are siz single rooms ton feet square
each, aud on© large room containing two
cages. The single room* can bo made, and
at present are uiado, Jo accommodate two pris
oners each. In the large room there are two
large steel cages, built ous ou top of tho other.
These rages will hold eighteen prisoners
each. They aye situated iu the centre of the
room, and there is a passage way between the
cages and walla on every aid© about six feet in
width, to prevent the communication or access
to the prisoners by anyone who might climb
up to the windows.
"At proaeut there arc forty ~hid prisoners
in tho jail aud two more than cau he oomfort-
ably quartered there. When you consider the
fact that the conrta have very ucarly com
pleted the trials by criminal cases by which
many of the prisoner* ware taken out of Jail,
you may be able to furm some idea of the
crowded condition iu which tho courts will
find the jail when the criminal docket is next
taken up after the summer recess.
"One of the most cognst reasons," said Mr.
Davis, "for increasing the capacity of the jail
now is, that in th© natural order of things,
such a atep will be imperative in a year's
time', owing to tho natural increase of priso
ners, consequent upon the steady increasing
population of Bibb county. If the jail cau
scarcely accommodate the prisoners, in a
year’s tfme it will be impossible."
"What remedy would you euggest?” was
asked*
"Why, the remedy is simple enough. I
havo talked with several coutractora aud they
estimate tbs coet of raining the walla of the
jail and putting in another steel cage on top
of the two now, at trom $3,GU0 to $4,000. 1 be
lieve that the increase in valuations of prop
erty in Bibb this year, will give a sufficient
surplusage in taxca over the estimate for
county expenses ter the current year to pay
for the work. Othcrwbie 1 would suggest that
the county commissioners make an assess
ment next spring sufficient to cover the ex
pense*. In the mean time the board can ob
ligate the connty for the sum uecessary to
complete the work, and have the improve
ments begun at once."
Mr. Daria advances upon the idea that at
a general thing a man is nut placed in jail
punishment, hut merely for safe keeping until
a hearing can be had in Ida case, ami that
until that Utno any unnecessary suffering or
punishment inflicted upon the prisoner fs
without warrant in law, reason ur natural Jus
tice.

fifteen minutes the d*»g catcher, who is *

The Continuous Rains May Prove
Fatal to the Cotton Crop.
A week ago the farmers were jubilant over
the promise of a large cotton crop.
Yesterday there was a large number* of
farmers in town and without exception they
predicted a failure of the crop nnleas there
was a cessation of rain.
Fire! they feared a failure of the crop on ac
count of the dry weather; now thay are equally
tearful on account cf the rains.
In nmny Idealities the crops are foul with
gratr brought np by the unusual amount of
moisture in the grunnd.and where the farmers
have been able to keep the grass down, the
prospects are almost equally gloomy frtrn th©
fact that the stalk has tocom© so sappy that
It will throw off most of fta fruit.

I HOMESTEAD
NO RESISTANCE
Homestead, July 11.—It Is given nnt
unofficially that at a meeting of th© ad
it visory committee called after midnight
it was deckled to offer no rrsLtam
the military occupying the to wo
or It* Carnegie property.
That mean* that work 1* to begin on the now
Indian Spring electric railroad, as announced
yesterday’» Telegraph.
It nn-ans that th© new road proposes to run
right siting up Mulberry to tho cemetery, ju«t
as though them was not another cross-tie
laid on that qmto. The new road has secured
from tho city th© right-of-way to that street,
and on that it proceeds.
Th* city granted the right-of-way beranno it
held that the company whoso track ia now laid
street# ha# forfeited it* franchise, and
th© city so declared at tho time of the sale.
Rut when the ThotiiKon-Houston (teople
bought it they openly ignored the declaration,
and said it amounted to* nothing—that the
franchise ws# ntiU gmni.
It ia now likely that they will bring the Issns
before the courts, in ca»o the new road
attempts to lay track on Mulberry street.
Hornething in almiit to happen, either in tliu
shape of au injunction or uthorwiso; but tho
public may look out for fun.
