Convicts Are Doing Good Work
on Georgia Pikes. !
e |
; ———— S
District Inspectors Now Busy Gathering
+ Data Upon the Effectivenes of the |
Convict System. ‘
e |
Atlanta, Ga.-—Just how effective the
system of working convicts on the
public roads is will be definitely as
certained, acting under definite in
structions from the prison commis
sion, |
On April first, last, the new convict
law went into effect and since that
time many counties have been vigor
ously at work building pikes. It is
desirable to have information bear
ing on the number of miles of new
road built since then, the character
and kind of road and the different
kind of material used. The inspectors
are, therefore, now working on this
data, and will submit it to the com
missicn within the next few weeks,
It is believed much general infor
mation can be procured in this way,
and that data of véry great value can
be compiled out of the experiences,
both good and bad, of the various
counties. Up to this time the com
mission has been busied with system
atizing the work, and getting the
camps into working shape.
Ou the wall of the commission aud
ience chamber hangs a map, which
shows the exact location of every
county convict camp in the state. A
green dot shows felony camps and
red dots misdeameanor camps. There
are now 140 camps in the state, al
though only 107 counties work con
victs on the road. Thirty-nine coun
ties, and the majority of these in
the northern part of the state where
the mountain counties lie, are with
out convicts, renting their quota to
other counties, It is said, however,
that the widespread good roads move
ment has inspired several of these to
emulation, and in a short time they
will demand their quota,
Through the middle section of the
state the map shows the camps stud
ded more thickly than anywhere else,
some counties maintaining four, three
and two camps, Road building is ad
vancing very rapidly in this section,
and the report from there is expected
to be especially good.
From the general reports made to
the pricon commission general results
over the state from road building
movements are very gratifying, Many
counties are bending every resource
for fine pikes, in many instances sup
plementing by large sums the ordi
nary expense of maintaining the con
vict labor, :
It is the opinion of the commission
ers that the reports to be made by
the inspectors will be of great value,
and will make a showing that will be
in the nature of amazing to many
who have not kept posted on the
movement,
Very little trouble is reported at
any of the camps and the general
health of the convicts is excellent.

FOLKSTON. GA., SEPTEMBER 16. 1909,
Dr. Cook and Commander Pafirv Are Hurrying Home to
Place Claims Before Authorities—Peary’s Report
Substantiation of Cook’s Speed Claims.
New York City.—Details of Mr.
Robert E. Peary's journey to the
North Pole, as gleaned from the ex
pedition now at Battle Harbor, Labra
dor, on its return, and cabled here,
show that Mr. Peary had one man
less at the highest point north on hi.
journey than Dr. Frederick Cook had.
Dr. Cook reports that he had two Ks
kimos with him when he discovered
the pole. The only man to reach
the pole with Mr. Peary was a lone
Kskimo, Eging Wah, by name,
St. Johns, N. F.—Allen Whitten,
who was boatswain of the Peary aux
iliary steamer Erik in 1905 and again
in 1908, adds his quota to the polar
controversy, On his expeditions he
naturally saw much of Peary and
knew of Peary’'s plans. He was algo
on the Erik in the summer of 1907
when she lay for a week in Sydney,
alongside the schooner John R. Brad
ley, in which Dr. Cook was starting
for the Pole, the Erik that year £O
- to Hudson Bay for the Canadian
government,
Whitteh says that the Bradley was
abundantly equipped for Cook’s expe
dition, having supplies for at least
three years. He confirms the charge
made by Dr. Cook at Copenhager
that Peary’s people took Cook’s pro
visions, adding that not only did the
crew of the ship take Cook's stores

there,
Londor, Ingland.—The latest in
stallment of Commander Peary's sto
ry, as published here in The Times,
coincides in many important partic
ulars with Dr. Cook’s story,
It is evident from Peary’s story that
there will be no dcubt cast on his
own claim as to reaching the pole.
He took observations with great
care; made soundings, but failed to
touch bottom and made a careful de
tour df the immediate polar ciiele,
A most important item of the ac
count is Peary’s statement that in 12
hours he once covered 40 miles,
Fault had been found by critics
with Dr. Cook’s claims of averaging
fifteen miles a day on his dash north.
Scientists declared that Dr. Cook’s
story is both corroberated and dis
credited by Commander Robert .
Peary’s account,
A striking similarity in the descrip
tion of the Arctic fields beyond the
88th parallel of latitude and within
the very shadow of the pole in the
narratives of the two explorers—a
vividly similar description, of the
smooth, glacial surfaces and the rap
id time these conditions enabled both
men to make, went far to shatter
the skepticism concerning Cook's ex
ploit and yet in the matter of tem
perature the figures are different, Mr.
Peary glving the temperature at 40
degrees bhelow zero, while Dr. Cook
placed it at 83 degrees below—a vast
discrepancy,
Beyond the 89th latitude the tem
perature rose 15 degrees, according
to Peary. Cook made no mention of
warmer weather, 8o identically do
certain details bear out the state
ments of Dr. Cock that scientists and
geographers who had held aloof from
the controversy declared their faith
in the physician-explorer's story,while
of course crediting Commander Pea
ry’s story and using it as a basis of
comparison,
In the matter of temperature, the
biggest discrepancy exists, Peary
speaks of the temperature ranging
from 33 degrees to 12 on April 7, the
day he left the pole. Dr. Cook's fig-
DR. COOK MAKES FIRST
CRITICISM OF PEARY’S TRIP
Copenhagen, Denmark, — Astonish
ing speed of 26.7 miles for nine days
made by Commander Peary on his
dash over the ice plains to the pole,
according to the figures which he has
cabled to America and Europe, was
pointed out by Dr. Frederick A. Cook
and his supporters as the first link in
the chain of corroborative evidence
by which Cook hopes to reinstate hig
claim to the world
Commander Peary’s summary of his
trip shows that he made the final two
hundred and thirty-nine miles 10 tu
pole in thirteen days. Cook claims,
he made two hundred and twenty-six
miles over the ice in fifteen days and
his claim met with ridicule,
‘,':ures ranged fully 50 degrees lower
‘After leaving the 88th parallel, Peary
'.lset out alone in his dog sledge, leav
ing the other members of the party
to break camp and follow him,
i Peary’s description of the ice fields
beyond the 88th parallel bears out
Cook’s description. The surface, says
The Times account, was smooth and
level as a glacial fringe, broken only
.'pccas!onally with ridges and with
very little open water. The dogs
were able to proceed at a gallop and
in one run of ten hours immediately
after passing the 88th parallel Peary
made 20 miles.
~ At the 89th parallel the tempera
ture was 40 degrees below zero. Pass
ing the 89th parallel Peary made 25
miles in a single dash in a bitter
wind so cold that the flesh cracked
and even the Kskimos complained.
ig‘eyond the 89th the scene was som
;:er, the horizon smoky and gray, the
desolation indescribable.
‘ . Not a living thing in sight and the
golitude broken only, by the groaning
of the greenish ice floes over which
the sledge sped. Cook had called it
4 desolate spot—the solitude unbrok
én and the silence and loneliness op
pressive. As Peary proceeded the
going grew Dbetter and faster time
was made—another important feature
completely vindicating Dr. Cook and
bearing out, apparently, his narra
tive completely.
In 12 hours the Peary party was
able to make 40 miles. There was
not a single stretch of open water
to hinder the march, The goal was
almost in sight,
Commander Peary took observa
tions at frequent intervals, until he
had established his feat. The com:
mander had realized the ambition of
his life: he was at the North Pole.
A detour of some eighteen miles
was made about the pole, observa
tions being taken almost continuous
1y to establish not only proof of the
discovery but for scientific values sub
sequently,
| On the afternoon of April 7, the
day after the pole had been discov
ered, a sounding,was made five miles
from the North Pole. The plummet

or 21, Captaine Roald Amundsen will
probably accompany him.
Dr. Cook’s plan to send a ship frouw
Cepenhagen to Greenland to bring
back to civilization his two Kskimo
companions on his ewpedition trip wil
not be carried out until next year as
Danish officials have informed him
that it isß now too late in the season
for a trip to Etah, The expedition, It
is stated, will be started early next
spring,
In sclentific circles, both in Ameri

from both explorers before arriving
at.a conclusion as to their respective
achievements, ang although a beliger

two camps, open hostilities were
largely suspended,
