THE PASSING OP BRANN.
The sensational manner in
which Mr. Braun, editor of The
Iconoclast, met his death in
Waco, Texas, a few' days ago occa
sioned no surprise and not much
regret among the people of the
country. Everybody knew' it was
only a question of time before
some one would call the brilliant
but vitriolic editor to a personal state.
The N sw Convict Law.
If the new convict law in Geor
gia is productive of as good results
in other respects as it has already
been in a financial w ay, then the
money expended for the last ses
sion of the legislature, which was
given over almost entirely to the
forming of this law, will prove to
be a splendid investment for the

at the point of his virulent, splen

what he penned he stirred up
strife, animosity and hatred wher
ever his words attained audience.

edge of the languages and a power
of phraseology unknown to any

fit to use the talents God had so
graciously bestowed upon him in
behalf of all that was morally
perverse and that tended to de
grade rather than elevate. The
sanctity of the home and the
sacred precincts of the chancel
alike were invaded and made to
feel the keen invectives of hie

Under the old lease system the
state received $25,000 for the w'hole
penal population, and deducting
the expenses of administration the
net revenue to the state has been
only about $16,000 per year.
It is estimated that the expense
of administration under the new
lease will not be more than $70,-
000 at the outside, and that the
state will be richer by $100,000 a
year from the new- convict lease,
as the Prison Commission has
leased 1800 convicts for $185,800
per year under the provisions of
the new law.
Financially, the state is much
better off under the new- law, and
if that law is strictly enforced as

treatment of convicts, cleanly
quarters for them, and plenty of

CANDLER IN WHITFIELD.
Colonel Candler delivered a
rousing address at Dalton Mon
day, ana was given a reception by
Iris friends which must have made
the old man proud. He spoke at
the noon recess of Whitfield court
and the crowd was plainly with
the “One-eyed Plow-boy of Pigeon
Roost.” He was introduced by an
old comrade in arms who declared
that Allen Candler was always in
front in the bloody days of 61-65
and the people would, not now rele
gate him to the rear but- would
nominate and elect him Governor
of Georgia. These words will
meet with a hearty response over
the state and the people will fight
the battle of ballots this fall with
Allen Candler as their leader anc]
an overwhelming victory will be
theirs. Notwithstanding the j vear>

The great internal heat that rendered
the Amphitrite inefficient was due to
lack of provision for ventilation in the
engine and boiler spaces. These regions
became so. hot that little useful wor’- r
tould be done in th=:m. and the lack of

from the holes in the furnace doors, j
Aside from two small ash hoist tubes
in the central part or the firercom and j
a small escape hatch forward, there
were no openings from the fire room to
the outer air.
The boilers reached nearly to the iron :
main deck of the vessel, and as the air
above them and between the deck beams

and lay roasting in those spaces. It was i
impossible for a man to go on tne grat

ers after they had been under steam a
few hours, though the main and auxil
iary stop valves were there. A board of
officers that reported on temperatures in
the vessel got at this place only by in
troducing a thermometer on the end ot
a long pole, and this thermometer,
when fished out and taken to a place
where it could be read, showed 202 de

The superstructure containing the
cabin and wardroom was directly above
the engine and boiler rooms with a
light wooden fiocr laid over the iron

The fireroora temperature was never
