Coi. P. W. M< Idrlm was chairman of the
Jasper Monument Association, under the
auspices of which the fund wes relsed,
the members of the association, thirteen,
the number of the orlftlnal colonies, them
selves making conelderable contribution*
Col Meldrlm said yesterday thnt he re
gards the fund already In hand for the
Oglethorpe monument e a decidedly gorl
start and he hope* for the success of the
movement He appreciates the hard work
that la before those who take up the mat
ter to punk It to a successful conclusion,
because of his connection with the Jas
per monument.
It was through an address delivered be
fore the Hibernian Society that the move
ment for the J.i.per monument Ixgan.
Col. Meldrlm wa* the speaker, and he
commented upon the strangeness of the
fact that there should la a monument to
Count Pulaski In Savannah, when there
are so few Poles In the city, whereas
Bergt. Jasper, an Irishman with an he
roic record, who lost his life In fighting
the battle of the colonies, should have
been denied such a testimonial of the ap
preciation of the city he defended, par.
tlcularly as there Were 17.000 person* of
Irish birth or dcs. tent here Col. Meldrlm
g then the leading spirit In the organ
isation of the association.
The bronse figure of Jasper surmount
ing the pedestal coat an even SIU.4OQ, and
the cost of the stone work ran the total
to between IL'.OUb and 115,000. Mr Shor
ter would like to see some HO.OOO expend
ed upon a monument to Oglethorpe, and
those generally who are Interested In the
movement feel that the memor.al to the
colony's founder should be handsome.
The cornerstone of the Pulaakl monu
ment was laid on Oct. 11. 153. The Ma
sonic lodge*, the military, commanded by
the late (ien. A. R. Lawton, and a large
eoncourse of citizens wtre present. The

GF.ORtiIA'S EMIGRANT LAW.
Small Planters Willing to I/*t Ne
gro l.slmr Go.
The bill Introduced In the Legislature
to repeal the stale emigrant law will re
ceive the approval of the naval stores men
of Savannah. The present law Imposes a
tax of |st© for each emigrant agent for
each county In which he solicit* buxines*
It has proved an obstacle to every emi
grant agent except the redoubtable Peg
Leg Williams, who has been Indicted tn
several counties In Georgia, but ha* some
ha* or other managed to keep out of the
prnltentlery .
The naval more* operators hav* found
their most fruitful Held heretofore In
North Oanollna, hut the sources there
seem to be about exhausted, and the
scarcity of labor this year has been a
great problem to the naval stores people
They would doubtless Ilk" to try their
luck In securing hands In upper Georgia
This experiment was tried a good many
yrara ago and found very unsatisfactory
The negroes who were drawn from the
cotton fields of upper Georgia found the
condition* of the turpentine farm* so
much harder than they had anticipated
that they deserted In horde# and returned
to their old homes.
How the farmer* of the cotton districts
view the matter Is the problem. Many of
them hav* found negro labor so unsat
isfactory during Ihe list two or three
year* that they would be glad to see It *ll
depart, and this mnv Is- ih* secret of the
bill Introduce-) In Ihe Legislature to re
peal the emigrant law The sooner the
stale Is freed of negro labor the better,
many planters think. More than half the
cotton crop of Georgia I* already raised
by white labor and Ihe small planters
generally are willing to see tha other half
raised that way.

The City Council, at a meeting yester
day afternoon, held after a meeting *f
the Committee Of the Whole, adopted n
leaolutton cal.mg upon the Senator from
the First District and the representatives
in the General Assembly from Chatham
county, to oppose the misdemeanor con
vict bill in Us present form.
The resolution reclies the manner lr.
which the mvicta ate worked in Chrt
l am county. the purposes for which they
are u*cd, and the conditions under which
they sre kept and lay* stress upon the
fart that the progress of the public im
provements of tha county would be se
riously Interfere I with should the eon
tr I of the convicts he taken out of the
hand* of the County Commies loners. The
resolution wns first considered n the
Committee of the Whole, and was sub
mit ted from that body by a unanimous
report
Mayor Myers expressed himself as
strongly opposed to any change in th*
ronv.ot system of <*haiham county when
the proposition to place all misdemeanor
convict* under the control of tho StsU
Pr.son Commission waa first unnGunced.
and the members of Council evidently
agreed with him n hi* views
Tha resolution reads a* follows
•'Whetvaa. there ft* now pending In the
General Assembly of lids stale a bill de
signed to take away from the M*veral
county authorities the control of misde
meanor convict*;
“And wher* .is, the reason* advanced
for the pasa.igH of such a bill, to-wlt, to
insure the humane treatment, proper
clothing feeding and housing of and
medical attention to auch convicts, and to
prevent the evil* Incident to hiring such
persona to private parties, do not apply
to the mid* mimr conviots of Chatham
county, who are never hired to private
parties and are afforded all the comforts
and attention oonl**ent with their situ
ation ;
“And whereas the road and drainage
system of Chatham county, so important
to Its prosperity ond health, and to the
prosperity and health of this city, are
bu;h nnd maintained by the labor of the
mWrtenieanor convict* of said county,
thua in Sime measure remburning the
county and city and the taxpayers there
of for the henW expen*** incident to the
trial and conviction of such convicts.
“And where**. In the Judgment of this
body, any change in the power and au
thority of the County Commissioners of
Chatham county, with regard to misde
meanor conviots. would be dtaafltroua to
said road ami drainage systems, and
would not improve the condition of such
convicts;
■'Therefore, be It resolved by the Mayor
and Aldermen of the City of Bavannah.
In Council assembled. That the Benalor
from the First District and the Repre
sentative* from Chatham county, be and
they are hereby requested to oppose any
measure on the line of the bill referred
to that will have Ihe effet of taking
from the authorities of Chatliam county
any of the power and control now exer
rlsed by them over misdemeanor convicts
of saud county. So far a* Chatham coun
ty I* concerned, we know that Its con
vert* are worked under reasonable regu
lations. are properly housed, clothed and
fed. given ntedlcnl attention when 111. end
that no necessity exist*, from any hu
manitarian standpoint, for any change
such n* this bill proposes.”
A vigorous protest against the passage
of the bill may be expected from Chat
ham county. The protest already formu
lated In Ihe special presentment of the
grand Jury of the Superior Court will be
supplemented by memorial* from the
board of County Commissioners, th* Sa
vannah Board of Trad* and the Savannah
Cotion Exchange, as well as by the city.
Since the action taken by the grand Jury
last Thursday. It would seem nothing
has been done lit Savannah to prevent the
passage of this bill, so obnoxious to every
one who has at heart the true Interests
of the city? It Is believed, however, that
an effort will be m.vle to have the bill
referred to the commercial bodies Inter
ested In the success of the port, and that
these bodies will pass such strong con
demnatory resolution* a* will serve en
tirely to destroy the chances of the bill
being enacted Into law.
Indeed. It I* further understood that
neither the Governor nor Representative
Toomer of YVaycross, nor any other of
ihe advocates of the bill have ever In
tended to make Its provisions apply to
Chatham or other counties of like magni
tude All of ehese seem to be welt awnre
that the passage of such a bill would be
eompletely destructive of the best Inter
ests of the counties that have managed
their convict* to the satisfaction of Ihe
public In the past, and they mean to make
Its provisions applicable only to those
counties In which there have been abuses
that have revolted the sense of Justice
and fairness of the people of the state
Bo far a# Chothain county I* concerned,
It Is content to submit It* record In Ihe
matter of controlling and working misde
meanor ronvlct* to the Inspection of the
entire slate. On n number of occa
sions the member* of the Pris
on Commission have said that the methods
in rogue in this rounty were admirable,
and that the w-vrk performed wa* entirely
satisfactory. So much cannot he said of
the camps controlled entirely by the com
mission. concerning which there have been
numerous scandals tn the past few years
From what can be learned of the ex
letlng condition of affalra there Is no
reason for alarm on the |rt of the
the County Commissioner* and the peo
ple of the county The law, as in
troduced may Is- general, but It I* not
thought that there will be any dlfllniltv
In having Chatham and other eountlee.
In which the conditions are similar or
identical, exempted from It* provisions.
Everybody In the county Is against the
provision* of the law as applied to Chat
ham They cannot see that It will work
any advantage and they can see that It
will do grent Injury to the people of this
se-Alon. Bttuated as this county ta.
drainage and road work la absolutely es
sential and to carry tt to completion the
employment of the convict* I* sb-olutrly
necessary. Thnt the law will make no
change In existing conditions may be tak
en to be assured.

Col. Mercer will alvo- a'e the devotion of

Ths member of the committee quoted
