HU PROBLEM
FOR ASSEMBLY
Readjustment of Convict Labor
Necessary to Obtain
■> Federal Aid.
B/ JAMES B. NEVIN.
Thf* Incoming Legislature will have
me or two knotty problem* to solve
st Its forthcoming session in tb«
matter of readjusting the employ
ment of convict la-bor within the
State, and particularly in shaping
things to that future road work may
nnrt interfere with the State s par
ticipation in the forthcoming distri
bution of the Federal good roads
fund.
The Legislature certainly will in
cline to provide work for convicts
that will interfere as little a pos
sible with free labor of tlie State-
it is obviously impossible to work
the convicts at all. and not interfere
in some degree with free labor- and
at the same time, the State will not
be able to avail itself of the Fed
eral good roads fund, where such
roads are worked by convicts. 'I he
Federal Government will specifically
require ihat all old it eit«?nds to the
States in the matter of roadr con
struction shall he. extended to such
roads only as are constructed by con
tract labor, upon competitive b'da.
The Federal Government will help
those roads that help themselves, but
not otherwise If Georgta will spend,
for instance, $20,000 on good roads
construction, the National Govern
ment will then supplement that
amount with ah additional $10,000,
and pay an anpual rental for the
road thus constructed, as a post road,
Sometime ago Governor Brown In
quired of the Postofflce Department
in Washington whether this Slate s
$20,000 might not be furnished in
convict labor, but he was informed
that the National Government wodld
not-consent to that sort of arrange
ment. The Governor, as a result of
this correspondence, will lay the mat
ter before the intoming legislature
In a special retiring message
It has been suggested that several
of the larger counties may combine
and apply for this Federal aid fund,
agreeing that the entire work shall
be done bv contract labor. While It
is admitted that this might comply
with the letter of the Federal law, it
hardly would comply with the spirit,
and for that rea.iyon likely would not
be acceptable to the national author
ities
Prom every angle one views this
question it presents great difficul
ties. and yet there is a keen desire
on the part of incoming. legislator*
to And some satiafaotorty way for
Georgia to securp its share of the
good roads fund.
Former Representative Rufe Baker,

man in the last Georgia Legislature,

It Is difficult to conceive how the
grand old county of Lumpen is to
wabble through the tiext Legislature
without Rufus B. on the Job!
It is understood that & l\ew bill
i.« being considered for presentation
in the next General Assembly, look
ing to the construction dT a Pryor
Street \iaduct across the State's
railroad property in Atlanta.
Governor Brown vetped the meas
ure passed by the lasj. General As
sembly. upon the ground that, while
it took care of Atlanta well enough,
it did not safeguard the State's in
terests to his liking In this view,
he subsequently was substatned by
the Legislature, as the bill failed of
passage over the executive veto
It is understood the new measure
will undtrtake to avoid the objec
tionable features pointed out by the
Governor in his veto message, and
the bill to be offered this time will
undertake to de 'l fairly and equitably
both with the State and the city of
Atlanta.
Representing-elect Barry Wright,
of Fiovrt County, who has been elect
ed president of the Cherokee Life
insurance Company, of Rome, will
discontinue the active practice of w 4
but will not resign bis* seat in the
Legislature, so bi,s Rom<> friends say
Mr. Wright not only is one of the
brainiest young men in Georgia,
cracking good lawyer and Legisla
tor of repute, but generally is cred
ited with being the possessor of
long business head.
His selection to be president of the
Cherokee is considered ideal.
The question of Dougias Me A
tbur’s right to a seat in the next
Legislature as a Representative fron\
the new county of Wheeler, will b<
one of the thing* to attract the at
tention of the incoming House imme
diately after organization
Mr. McArthur's election never has
been certified to the Secretary
State, and unless it is. it is difficult
for some members to see how he
to have himself sworn in At the
same time, an election unquestion
ably was held in Wheeler, and Mr.
McArthur was named its first Rep
resentative. The election manager^
for fear there was no authorit> in
law for the holding of the election,
though, have declined to certify it
to Secretary Cook.
The entire matter will he thrashed
out early in the next session. The
House is the only judge of^he quali

Salla. a well-known figure about

leads through Rvans Alley. Just as
he entered the darkest part of the

When I arrived In Atlanta there was
a swamp along tilde the old Union
depot. My train got in at night. 1
could hear the frogs croaking in the
bullrushes by the tracks as I climbed
down out of the passenger coach and
looked about for a place to put up

that swamp existed is worth a pret
