Lcoks Like Judge Hutchins.
The Savannah Morning News,
discussing the probable successor
to Mr. Brown as state librarian,
has the following to say in ref
erence to the matter:
“One of the foremost applicants
for the position of the state libra
rian is Mrs, W.Y. Atkinson, wife of
the former governor. She called on
Governor Candler several days ago
and asked that the governor ap
point her. The governor would
not promise Mrs. Atkinson the
place. It is conceded that Judge
N. L. Hutchins, of Lawrenceville,
a close friend of the governor, will
be the next librarian. He made
application fully six months ago,
and it is now stated that the gov
ernor has decided upon him as the
next man. In fact, it is the talk
at the capitol that Hutchins will
succeed Librarian Brown, whose
term expires in September, 1901.
Speculation as to Mr. Brown’s
successor has ceased.”
For Sale-
Two good young mules and
two fine young cows.

THE FUBLIC EXPENSE CONSIDERED.
Mr. Editor: Do the taxpay
ers of Gwinnett county know they
are paying first class boarding
house rates for dieting prisoners
in jail ? The jailor is furnished
by the county, free of rent, a
comfortable dwelling house for
himself and family to live in, and
bedding for the prisoners is like
wise furnished. Besides all this,
and the turnkey fees, the jailor is
now paid thirty-five (85) cents
per day for each prisoner confined
therein.
Will not the incoming board of
county commissioners,at the earli
est opportunity, correct this abuse
and waste of the public funds ?
For it will be readily seen, under
the conditions now prevailing in
this county, even at reasonable
and just rates, this will become
one of the biggest items of ex
pense to the tax payers.
