THE CONVICT QUESTION.
A great hue and cry has just
been raised in Georgia over the
convict question. The sensa
tional papers of the Stnte are
making much ado over the
question, as though it was some
thing new under the sun.
There is nothing new about
this matter. The question of
how the penitentiary convicts
shall be disposed of when the
term of the present lease has
expired has been before the
public for yenrs, and at each
session of the Legislature this
question has been the subject
matter of all sorts of proposed
legislation.
There are half dozen schemes
now suggested and the commit
tees will meet in Atlanta and
try to devise some pian to do
away with the lease system,
and punish the convicts direct
ly by the State, either on pub
lic works or on farms, It is a
subject surrounded with difficul
ties, and should be very care
fully considered. The lease sys
tem is objectionable in many
of its features, but how to im
prove upon it without adding
largely to the burden of taxa
tion is difficult to decide. We
hope some practicable plan will
be adopted better than the lease
system. The penitentiary, un
der the old system, was a heavy
expense to the State, and it
was to avoid this that the Leg
islature decided to hire out
their convicts to private par
ties.
The misdemeanor convicts
have for twenty years been
hired out in some way or an
other.
Under an act passed in 1871,
the county authorities were au
thorized to employ parties sen
tenced to work in a chaingang
on public works of the county,
and two counties were author
ized to unite their convict gang.
Under this system grew up the
practice of one county hireing
the convicts of another county,
and then the practice began of
hiring them to private parties
to work on farms, at saw mills
and other private enterprises.
This was in direct violation
of law. The statute does not
contemplate private parlies
taking charge of these convicts
and employing them on private
enterprises, but it has been
generally practiced. The mon
ey arising from such hire has
been paid over to the court
officers instead of going into the
county treasury.
The Supreme court a year or
two ago held that such employ
ment was illegal. The sentence
of the court is that the prisoner
work on a chniiigang, und is
turned over to the county au
thorities to carry into effect
this sentence. Instead of put
ting them on public works they
were used for private gain.
Ever since that decision it
has been well known that all
of these private chaingung were
illegal, but in the lust month a
great furor has been raised, as
though something new had been
discovered.
The Governor lias taken the
matter up and announced his
determination to break lip all
these camps. The Judges and
Solicitors have been written to
and urged to order the prisoners
returned to the county jails.
It is stated flint in seventy
counties the officials are violat
ing tile law, and are subject to
be ruled for contempt of court
in failing to carry out the sen
tence. It is strange that all
the Judges of tin State have let
this matter pass, if they are
charged by law with the duty
of supervising the currying into
effect their sentences.
Some of the Judges lake the
position that they have nothing
more to do with a convict after
he has !>een sentenced; that
their jurisdiction over him
ceases when they turn him over
to the Sheriffs, who are required
to execute the sentence, aud
who are liable to punishment
for failing to discharge that
duty.
It is but little over a mouth
until the Legislature meets,
and they can correct these mis
takes and provide lawful meth
ods of punishment.

MAY AND DECEMBER.
GKN. I ONOSTHEKT A> D MISS
DORTCH.
Two weeks ago it was reported
that Gen. Longstreet and Miss
Ellen Dortch, assistant state
librarian, were to be married
soon. This took the public by
surprise and as it was speedily
denied, the matter was dropped.
Now it is authoritatively
stated that they will marry at
the Executive Mansion next
Wednesday morning.
Miss Dortch is still a young
woman, wdiile the General is 75,
having been born in Edgefield
District, S, C., in 1822.
The General lives at his
country residence near Gaines
ville, but has been expecting a
job from McKinley for some
time. It is understood that he
expected to be appointed minis*
ter to Mexico but failed to get
it. He is still waiting.
This marriage will take Miss
Dortch out of the race for State
librarian. The contest over
this place has been quite warm
and she expected to receive the
appointment.
WAS HIS DAUGHTER HIS
VICTIM?
A startling rpportcoir.es from
the quiet town of Roswell.
Something over a week ago a
young lady, daughter of J. 11.
Bobo, of that place, committed
suicide.
Sinco her death all sorts of
rumors have been circulated as
i,o the cause of her death.
Some letters from Cherokee
county, where Bobo formerly
lived, were received at Roswell,
charging him with improper in
timacy with his daughter. On
tlieso charges be was arrested.
Ilis wife admitted that they
were true and that she knew
what was going on and he had
admitted it to her but threaten
ed to kill her if she divulged it.
The girl was also kept from dis
closing the crime by threats.
It is believed that this was the
cause of the girl’s taking her
own life.
While the story is believed no
evidence can be brought to con
vict him, the girl being dead
and the wife an incompetent
witness.
The citizens, after he was ar
rested and discharged, ordered
him to leave the town at once
or he would be mobbed. His
house had to be guarded to pre
vent a lynching.
Capt- John W. Nelms, sheriff
of Fulton county, is a human
man ns well as a good officer.
Under order from some source
Steve I’erry was put in solitary
confinement ns soon as the Gov
ornor refused to commute his
sentence. He was not allowed
to communicate with even his
wife aud children except
through a little hole in thedoor
of his cell. His foot was
chained to the floor in the cen
ter of the cell
Capt. Nelms went to the jail
and, like the big hearted man
ho is. determined to give him
humane treatment. He ordered
the chain taken off aud his wife
and children and such ministers
as he desired be allowed to visit
him daily until the fatal day of
his execution.
There is no possible chance
for him to escape from that
jail and this unnecessary pun
ishment of the man who had
only a few days to live looked
like a disposition to persecute.
A movement is on foot to
erect m< numents over the
graves of every Southern sol
dier who died in Northern pris
ons. It is stated that there are
I’O.tHKj Southern men buried in
the North.
It proposed to erect a gray
granite monument over all of
those who can be identified.
$ I,(KM) it is estimated will cover
the cost. A joint committee
from the Lee Gamp of Confed
erate Veterans, the Daughters
of the Confederacy ai.d the
Sons of the Confederates lias
undertaken the task of raising
the money.
Fred Barnes, a white man,
was lined st! in Atlanta last

HIS FATE SEALED.
PERIIY MIST HAND TO-MORROW.
HE SAYS HE IS READY
TO DO.
Governor Atkinson, after con
sidering Perry’s application for
commutat ion of punishment for
weeks, last Tuesday passed an
order refusing to interfere with
the sentence of the court.
Every effort that was possible
to be made to save him from
the ignomy of the gallows has
been made by his counsel and
friends.
He was hurried to trial with
out time to get ready, and at a
time when public sentiment in
DeKalb was wrought up to a
high pitch of excitement over
three homicides in that county,
and his friends hoped that if u
new trial could be had after the
excitement and prejudice had
subsided that the verdict might
have been different.
The Supreme court was ap
pealed to, and a divided court
refused to grant him another
hearing.
Then an extraordinary mo
tion for new trial was made on
the ground of newly discovered
testimony of a very important
character, but the Judge re
fused to consider it, and the
Supreme court, was again ap
pealed to in vain.
Then the Governor was ap
pealed to to commute the sen
tence from death to imprison
ment for life, which he refused
to do, and there was nothing
more to be done but, to submit
to the stern decree that de
manded his life.
That he will meet the trying
ordeal bravely nobody who
knows him will doubt. The
splendid nerve that sustained
him in the trinl and in the long
imprisonment will be sufficient
to meet the last trying ordeal.
He still claims that he did
right, and no more than his
duty in defending his wife, and
her devotion to him shows her
strong affection for him. Her
appeals to the Governor to save
him are described by those pres
ent to have been pitiful.
For a week Perry has been
devoting his time to preparing
for another world. From his
cell his prayers daily ascend to
a throne of grace, in which he
is joined by his wife and the
ministers who visit here. He
asks the prayers of all good
people.
The follow ing letter from him
was published in the Constitu
tion of last Sunday:
“Editor Constitution —I ex
pect to die on the gallows at
Decatur, Ga., on next Wednes
day. It’s a sad tbcuglit to have
to be taken uway from my dear
wife and five bright little chil
dren, and have them to struggle
and toil and battle with many
evil temptations of this world;
but I thank God, while I leave
the poor little children father
less, they have a true and lov-_
ing mother tc look over them,
and I feel that God will be a
husband unto as good aud pure
a woman as I leave a widow,
and will look over her daily and
care for her and my dear chil
dren. The thought of leaving
these dear ones behind is all I
have to regret, but I am con
soled to a great extent on thin,
for I know when I am gone they
can come to me. Tlrm when
we meet, all will be joy. There
will be no more parting. We
can all join the heavenly band
where there will be no more sor
row, but everything will be love
and ?oy. Of course, it will al
ways be hurled in my dear chil
dren’s lace how their father met
his death. Thank God their
good mother can tell them why
1 was put to death by the hands
of the law and this pure woman
is the only living one that
knows the whole truth, which
wicked men have refused to be
lieve. This dear mother will
not only deliver this sad mes
sage, but she can repeat these
glorious words. While your
father died on the gallows,
thank God he died trustiug the
Lord, and this dear mother can
read the grand promises of Je
sus to them and teach them the
way they can go to that land of
rest and be with their father
forever, where death and aorrow
is not known. I thank God I
have this prr rnise, Romans v,
‘Being justified by faith, we
have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ.’ Thank
God I have that faith lit my
heart. Again, Acts xvi. Si, ‘Be
lieve ou the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved.’ Then
this verse is my answer, Romans
ix, Jtii, ‘Whosoever lielieveth on
him shall not lie ashamed.’
Thank God 1 am one that’s not
ashamed to claim him as my
Savior. Then, again, I read in
ft Timothy ii, 11, ‘lt is a faith
ful saying; for if we be dead
with him, we shall also live with
him. ’ Thank God l ex|iect to
die with him; then I will re
ceive the promise, ‘We shall live
with him. ”
“Then I read in Ephesians
I iv, 82, ‘Aud be ye kiud one to
another, tender-hearted, forgiv
ing one another, even as God
for Christ’s sake hath forgiven
you.’ I fee) thankful I have
no envy in my heart against any
one, but mv love runneth out
to everybody. With these beau
tiful pronn'Sew and many others
that have made my heart to re
joice, 1 feel it is only a short
step to the presence of God.
where I can meet those loved
ones who have gone before.
This, of course, will be a sad
parting here with dear wife,
loving children, affectionate
brothers and sisters, but, oh,
what a joyful meeting I w ill
have. A father and mother,
also a brother and one sweet lit
tle child of mine are awaiting
my coming on the other shore,
and when I am gone I hope not
one soul will wish for me back
on this vile and sinful world,
but that every one w ill now pre
pare to meet me in the sweet by
and by. May God bless ami
keep his dear ones from sin.

“Fulton County Jail, Sep
tember 4, 1897.’’
IS THE CODE VALID ?
Two of Georgia’s able lawyers,
Judge Boynton and Judge Hall,
insist that the code recently
adopted is not law except so
far as it is a mere republicat ion
of the old law; that any new
matters which may be embraced
in the code have never been
legally enacted by the Legisla
ture as provided for by the con
stitution, and therefore it can
not either enact or repeal any
other laws. The case will go
to the Supreme court.
The tag business seems to be
giving Col. Nesbit, Commission*
er of Agriculture, much trouble.
There had been easy sailing
for him heretofore but that
committee that has been nosing
around the departments “got
his tag.” They accused him of
wasting the people’s money by
paying three times as much for
the tags used in inspecting gu
ano as they wvro worth. The
lowest bid that has l een made
yet is 85 c nts.
Allen Citidler continues to
gain strength as u gubernato rial
candidate. North Georgia will
come up solidly for him, and
he hus warm supporters ill Mid
