ATLANTA FACING
WATER IS WELL IS
i lms r
ATLANTA, G*.. July 8.—Atlanta Is
now facing a water famine, as well as
a threatened liquor famine. That is
the people, where ever possible, have
ceased to drink the city water because
of the mud In it. There Is much fear
of sickness owing to the Increased de
mand upon the water system. It has
been found impossible to filter the city
water, hence it comes to the city di
rect from the Chattahoochee river,
mud and all. Effort is being made
to push the necessary Improvements
to remedy the situation as rapidly 'as
possible, but It Is said it will be two
months before tlio water can be filter
ed again. In the mean tlmo every
body who owns a spring of any old
sort Is coining money.
The people are paying from 10 to 20
cents a gallon for spring water, ac
cording to quality, and the Llthia wa
ter companies have sold out every
thing in sight. -

all nationalities who reside in West
Sixty-first street and West Sixty-

Amstetrdam avenues. .
A good share of the Italians of the

.opening advance, prices ruled generally
easy with the close steady at a net
decline of 7al9 points. Sales were es
timated at 300.000 bales.

ol' TalO points, in response to higher
cables than expected and a bullish crop
report, from New Orleans, estimating
a decrease in area of 10 per cent as com
pared with last year. But leading bulls
seemed to be selling at the advance, and
the market soon eased off under realiz
ing liquidation by early buyers and some
soiling bv local professionals. The mar
ket steadied up slightly In the late trad
ing, hut showed little rallying power with
the close at practically the lowest.

NEW ORLEANS.
NEW ORLEANS. July 8.—Snot cotton
closed easy and unchanged, middling 13%.
Sales were 1 175 bales on the spot and 300
bales to arrive.
The future market opened barely steady
with the active months showing an ad
vance of 4 points over the close of Satur
day. This advance was due to the acre
age report of the Times-Democrat pub
lished this morning. Following the un
successful efforts of the local operators
caught long in anticipation of a much
more bullish report than that issued,
the market eased off, and there was a
general recession in values. The drop
was augmented by reports of rain in
those sections of Texas suffering from
drouth and at the close, which was
steady, the active months were 18 points
below Saturdav’s close.
NEW ORLEANS. July 8.—Cotton fu-
turese losed steady at the following quo
tations:

ATLANTA, July 8.—Senator T. S.
Felder of the Twenty-second district
today introduced In the Senate the
following important resolution dealing
with the disposition of the State con
victs:
Whereas, It is for this General As
sembly to determine what disposition
shall be made of the felony convicts
after the 31st day of March, 1909;
And whereas. There are now being
worked by private individuals and cor
porations 1,691 felony convicts in di
rect competition with free labor, the
products produced by such convicts
being placed upon the market in com
petition with those who employ free
labor:
And whereas. The State of Georgia
should not delegate its sovereign pow
er to punish for violations of its laws"
to any private individual or corpora
tion, nor should the State by the leas
ing of its convicts lessen by competi
tion the wages of the honest laborer,
nor discourage by this unjust competi
tion the industries of the State which
employ its honest, laborers:
And whereas. The convicts in the
State of Georgia should be worked
upon the public roads where all classes
of our citizens can receive the benefit
of their labor in the betterment of our
public highways, and should not be''
worked by individuals and corpora
tions for private gain:
And whereas. The counties of this
State should be encouraged in the
building of good roads, and should be
furnished convicts for this purpose;
And whereas. The trafficking in hu
man beings is obnoxious to the spirit
of our laws and our sense of humanity,
and the leasing of convicts should
cease in Georgia:
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Senate, the House concurring, that a
committee of two from the Senate and
three from the House be appointed
whose duty It shall be to report to the
General Assembly a practicable meth
od whereby the able-bodied felony
convicts of the State can be worked
upon the public roads and the public
works of the several counties of the
State.
Second—That said committee shall
further investigate the subletting of
felony convicts under the present law
and ascertain what prices are being
paid by those individuals and corpora
tions who are actually working such
convicts.
