It's the idea of E. E. Hall of Spo

it a misdemeanor for any saloon keep

! The United States cannot be e:-
pected to remain in Cuba indefinitely,
protests the New York Tribune. If it
is under an obligation to organize Cu
ba for good self-government . Cuba
is under at least as strong an obliga
tion to facilitate and expedite that or
ganization as much as possible. We
are inclined to think that the ordering
of these elections is the best possible
way of moving Cuba to fulfil that ob
ligation. There have been those in
that island who have desired Ameri.
can occupation to endure as long as
possible, and who, therefore, have ac
tually discouraged and delayved prep
arations for renewed autonomy. It is
well that the} should be reminded
that such tactics will not permanently
work. The proverhjal postponement

The medicine of the future for the
more Seriods diseases may be given
through the veins rather than by the

drugs, but of flulds obtained as a by

clally proof against the disease, pro
phesies the American Cultivator. Very
interesting results are already being
obtained with animals and birds, but
doctors are wisely cautious in ex
tending the system to treatment of
hurhan patients. There is fair promise
of contro! of such destructive diseases
as hog cholera, tuberculosis and glan
ders. With human beings the method
has long been successful with diph
theria, rabies, small pox, and perhaps
with some other maladies. Less con
adenee is placed in drugs, and more in
general health measures, with a resort
to inoculation for an increasing ngug.

EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE PROCEEDINGS
IN THE HOUSE.
The house having adopted the Hol
der convict lease bill presented it to
the senate, The upper house killed all
the original sections of the Holder
bill and substituted in place the dis
ferent sections of the “skidoo” bill.
They then passed it and returned it
to the house, who refused to accept
it as amended.
A system of parole and conditional
pardon for the Georgia penitentiary
was passed by the house when the
bill providing for this by Mr. Persons
of Monroe was passed unanimously,
133 members voting. The bill provides
for all convicts except those convict
ed of two or three certain crimes,
to recelve the advantages of a parole
and conditional pardon, but it is pro
vided that each convict shall serve
the minimum sentence prescribed for
the crime of which he was convicted.
Mr., Persons made an interesting
speech and a good impression on the
other members of the house, and sev
eral announced that they had changed
their minds on the subject. As Mr.
Slater of Bryan later pointed out, it
glves the poor man-—the man without
money or political influence~—a chance
to redeem himself and have hope for
the future, The bill was by unani

The provision of the bill limiting
the amdunt of alcohol the lmltatloni
beer may contain to one one-half per

The senate is committed to a tax
of SIOO on dealers and SSOO on manu
facturers of imitation beers, but it
is not apprehended that the two
houses will experience a great deal of
trouble getting together on the ques
tion,
The bill passed by the house pro
vides that the funds derived from the
tax shall go to support the convicts. |
The bitl by Mr, Perry of Hall toi

at the termination of the present

IN THE SENATE. ‘
Emasculated in proposed executive |
features, but otherwise intact, the
iubsmute to the Felder convict bill, |
fiown as the “skidoo” or “23” bm,l
was passed by the senate by a vote
of 33 to 10, °
The bill is one of the most compre
hengive that has yet been offered in
solution of the question that is troub
ling the state, one of its most inter
esting features being the levying of
an income tax. -
The provision abolishing the pris

dollars; the tax of SSOO on manufac
turers of imitation beeds remained un
changed,
An amendment requifing the mem
bers of the prison commission to give
all of their time to the discharge of
their dutles was passed. |
The essetnial details of the substi

The state has direct supervision ot]
all felony and misdemeanor convicts,
The misdemeanors may, however, be
worked by the counties. |
The lease system terminates on the
night of March 31, 1909. |
The money derived from the hire of
convicts in the meantime shall be‘
set aside as a prison fund. 1
The money already appropriated for
the support of the prison department
is made immediately available, |
The money derived from the imita
tion beer tax shall go into the fund
to maintain the convicts.
The felony convicts now hired out
to lesses and used by the cpunties
shall be givenu over to the commis
sion on April 1, 1909.
The commission may, in its discre
tion, purchase one or more farms.
The convicts shall be divided into
gangs or squads, and, under the su
pervision and management of the
state, shall work in the several coun
ties of thg state upon the public roa(?s
or other publi¢ -works,
The work to be done in the respec
tive counties shall be apportioned by
the commission in proportion to pop
ulation.
The material used in road improve

The action of the directors of theE
Savannah board of trade in abolish
ing the grades of C and A of rosins
amounts to a _decided innovation in
the naval stores world. Ever since
naval stores have been marketed
there have been three low grades, A,
B and ¢. They hawve in recent years“
been bunched together so far as quo
tations are concerned and some of
the foreign buyers have been kicking
recently that when they bought low
grade rosins they got more A's than
anything else, To overcome this ob
jection it was decided to abolish en
tirely the A and C grade and bunch
the rosins that have been placed un
der one or the other of the three low
er grades as B's, It is expected this
will stop the kicking of our Emnglish
and German cousins,
How badly in need of a place for
working the misdemdanor convicts of
Savannah, Chatham county {s, was
shown when there were so many pris

dred and fifty prisoners in jail re
cently before the police court sent its
uota there, This class of prisoners
30 not work but remain in jail as an
expense to the city. The city and the
county are now preparing a plan by
which it is proposed to work the city
convicts on the county farm, near the
city limits, ‘
Vicious and long term men shall be
held on the farm or farms, 4
None of the products of the farms
are to be sold in competition with
free labor, The convicts are to raise
such products as will be used by the
state institutions and road gangs, also
the convicts shall make tools, machin
ery, etc, such as will be required by
the road gangs.
The money for the purchase of the
required land and the road equipment
will be taken from the special prison
fund, to be accumulated as indicated.

Heaviest in Years According to
‘Reports From Over the State.
ESTIMATE LOSS $25,600,006
Heavy Rain Caused Cotton to Shed Its
Bolls, Blooms and Squarcs.
; Crop Will Be Short.
~ Atlanta, Ga.—Reports from every
one of the 146 counties of Georgla in
‘dlcate that the cotton crop has been
‘damaged to the extent of $25,000,000
at least during the past three or four
weeks. It is stated that the total pro
duction of Georgia will, at the lowest
calculations, fall 500,000 bales short
of the yield last year,
“ In a word the total production in
Georgia this year will not exceed one
a half million bales, as against a pro
duction last year of two million, one
hundred thousand bales.
“ Commissioner of Agriculture Hud
son belleves that even this estimate
{8 too liberal, and he predicts that the
crop will come nearer to approximat
ing one and a quarter miilion bales.
The extra session of the legisla
ture has furnished an unequaled op
portunity to get a line on the cotton
crop of the state. It has brought to
i\tlanta citizens of every county in
the state, and most of them, as is
well known, are engaged directly or
interested in farming pursuits,
Commissioner Hudson, assisted by
Representatives Atkinson, Reid of
Macon; Heard of Dooly and others,
have made a careful canvass of the
situation, and they have been genuine
ly alarmed at the information they
have received.
" Out of the 146 counties, in only two
is the cotton crop anything like as
good this year as heretofore. The
other 144 counties report damage
ranging from 10 to 20 per cent,
“The heavy rains, which were gen
eral throughout the state two or
‘three weeks ago, followed by the
exceeding hot weather, accounts for
the damage,” said Commissioner Hud
son. “The two excesses—too much
rain and too much heat—caused the
cotton to shed its young bolls and
squares to such an extent that every
acre of farm land in Georgia was lit
erally covered with them,
“The damage is greater this year
than ever before in my knowledge,”
he continued, “and the worst of it is
that it is now too late to offset or
counteract the damage. The crop is
made, and it is the shortest in the
history of the state in recent years.”
WILL NOT CLCSE COPPER MINES.
Attorney General Gives His Reason
For Not Enforcing Injunction,
Atlanta, Ga.—ln a statement relat
ing to the insistence of the people
of Fannin county that the Ducktown
copper mines be closed at once in:
order to abate the nuisance arising
from the fumes of smoke and gas,
Attornby -General John C. Hart has
set forth the reasons why he has not
enforced the injunction secured by the
state against those companies.
3 -‘g’he ‘injunction was to go into ef
fect only after reasonable time had
been allowed the mines to abate the
nuisance complained of, and the at
torney" general shows that in the ef
fort. to do this they have already
sgent about $1,000,000 installing sul
? uric acid chambers: to convert the
umes into sulphuric acid,
“The companies are making an hon
est effort to correct the evils com
plained of,” said the attorney general,
“and it is only a question of" time un
til the cause of the cSmplaint will be
entirely removed. To close down
these companies would mean the loss
of a million dollars to the people of
Georgia. They are shipping into the
state the sulphuric acid converted
from the fumes and that will mean a
reduction in the price of fertilizer to
the farmers of the state.
“lI have insisted and shall continue
to insist that the copper companies
take care of these fumes, and I believe
they are now making an honest ef
fort to do so, and they are succeed
ing.”
