I ! 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, w ho aspired to be the handsomest man in the last Georgia Legislature, bul lost the blue ribbon to John Hol der, or somebod.N. came down from the mountain fastness of Lumpkin t'ounty Wednesday and had a look-in on things around and about this burg The most engaging thing about Ru fus B nowadays is a new and very eaborate mustache recently oceu- mulated It tends to enhance hia. al* ready attractive personal appearance no‘little, and wherever ho wandered he was M the syndsure of all eyes,” or words to that effect.

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.
