WORK IS GOING 4 HEAD.
BOARD OF PARDONS.
Governor Atkinson, it is said, in
his forthcoming message to the
legislature soon to* convene, will
recommend the creation of a board
of pardons. It is not known
whether the Governor desires this
board to have full power or be
merely advisory to him.
For some time it has been a
question a9 to whether or not a
pardoning board should be created.
The power now invested in the
chief executive seems to be too
great for one man, and, besides,
it is very trying as is shown by the
numerous strains the Governor
has gone through with the present
year in the examination of appli
cations for pardons.
It is believed that a pardoning
board whose duties would be to ex
amine the applications for par
dons and pass upon same, or
confer with the Governor about
it, would be much more satisfac
tory than the present method of
disposing of them. It is also be
lieved that it would be to the
best interest of the state to have a
pardoning board instead of one
man, whose power is greater than
the courts, to pass on these appli
cations.
Pardoning boards have been
created in many states. Some
have the power of passing upon
the applications for pardon with-,
out conferring with the Governor,
while others examine the applica
tions and report to the chief ex-
ecutige the result of their investi
gations with such recommendation
as they deem best. The boards
have operated very satisfactorily
in other states and we believe it
would be a satisfactory solution of
the question in Georgia.

highway robbery, was given a hearing
before Judge Sims Tuesday and bound
over on the charge. His bond was
fixed at $300 and, not being able to gi ve
it, was sent to jail. The warrant for
his arrest was sworn out by Will
Edwards, who declares he was held up
and robbed by Prater at the fair
grounds Saturday evening.
At the hearing Tuesday Prater re
taliated by swearing out a warrant for
gambling against Edwards, and the
latter was arrested and put under a
bond of $50, which he readily gave.

A GOOD WORK.
It is very probable that Hall
and Forsyth counties, will soon
build a bridge at Keith’s ferry,
and will buy Brown’s bridge.
At the July term of Hall Superior
court the grand jury recommended
that this be done, and at the
August term of Forsyth Superior
court that grand jury made a
similar recommendation.
The county commissioners of
Hall have had several conferences
with the ordinary of Forsyth
county, and as the people of both
counties want the bridges, it is
probable that the authorities will
have the work begin at an early
date.

When the county and road
commissioners of several counties

enthusiasm in the good roads
movement was manifested, and
the read commissioners pledged
themselve to keep thb roads in
their respective localities in better
condition than^ver before. They
have fulfilled that promise by
doing some good work already,
but the thing for them to do is to
keep consantly at it, going on tbe
idea that public . roads cannot be
kept in too good a condition. If
they will work in that way the
