THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Tlil'RSDAY. MAY 8.1913. PC7HD- iTI&VlN FOB ASSEMBLY Readjustment of Convict Labor Necessary to Obtain Federal Aid. By JAMES B. NEVIN. The incoming Legislature will havr ene or two knotty problems to solve at its forthcoming session in the matter of readjusting the employ ment of convict labor within the State, and particularly in shaping things no that future rood work may ii(it 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 as* pos sible with free labor of the State— it la obviously impossible to work »he 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. The Federal Government will specifically require that all aid it extends to the States in the matter of roadn con el ruction shall be extended to such mads only as are const rue ted by con tract labor, upon competitive bids. The Federal Government will bell’ thoee roads that help themselves, but not otherwise If Georgia will spend, for Instance. $20,000 on good roads construction, the National Govern ment will then supplement that amount with an additional $10,000. and pay an annual rental for the road thus constructed, as a post road. Sometime ago ijovernor Brown in quired of the Postoffice Department In Washington whether this State’s $20,000 might not be furnished in convict labor, but he was informed that the National Government would not consent to that sort of arrange ment. The Governor, as a result of this correspondence, will lay tlie mat ter before the incoming 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 by contract labor While it is admitted that this might comply with the letter of the Federal law. it nardly would comply with the spirit, and for that reason likely would not be acceptable to the national author ities. From every angle one views this question it presents great difficul ties. and yet there la a keen <fb**tre on the port of incoming Legislator 10 And some satisfactory wav for Georgia to secure its shave of the good roads fund Former Representative Rufe Baker, who appired to be the handsomest man in the last Georgia Legislature, bul lost the blue ribbon to John Hol der. or somebody, 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 elaborate nuistache recently occu- mulated. It tends to enhance his al« ready attractive j»crsonftl appearance no little, and wherever he wandered he whs "the synnarure of all eyes,” or words to that effect A mustacheless* Rufus B. was hand some enough, as everybody well knows, but this new Rufus B., mus tache or.d all—my—! \ It is difficult to conceive how the grand old county of Lumpkin is to wabble through the next Legislature without Rufus B. oh the job! It is understood that a new MU is being considered for presentation in the next General Assembly, look ing to the construction of a Pryor Street viaduct across the State’s rsilmad property in Atlanta. Governor Brown vfetbed the meas ure passed by the last 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 waa aubstained by the Legislature, as the bill failed of passage over the executive veto/ It is understood the new measure will undt rtuke to avoid the, objec tionable features pointed out by the Governor In his veto message. and the bill to be offered this time wfil undertake to deed fairly and equitably both with the State and the city of Atlanta. Representative-elect Barry Wright, of Floyd County, who has been elect ed president of the Cherokee Life Insurance Company, of Rome, will discontinue the active practice of law. but will not resign his seat in the Legislature, so his Rome friends say. Mr. Wright not only is one of the brainiest young men in Georgia, a cracking good lawyer and Legisla tor of repute, but generally is cred ited with being the possessor of a long business head His selection to be president of the Cherokee is considered idea'. The question of Douglas McAr thur's right to a seat in tne next Legislature as a Representative from the new county of Wheeler, will be one of the things to attract the at tention of the incoming House imme diately after organization Mr. McArthur's election never has been certified to the Secretary of State, and unless it is, it Is difficult for some members to see how he is to have himself sworn in. At the same time, an election unquestion ably was held in Wheeler, and Mr McArthur was named its Am Rep resentative. The election managers . r or fear there was no authority in iaw for the holding of the election though, have declined to certify it to Secretary Cook. The entire matter win be thrashed j out early in the next session. The House is the only Judge of the quali fications of its own members. Hire Messenger Boys To Romp With Dogs. "An innocent act of a busy Brook lyn woman hus caused a new craze In her neighborhood, which is the fashionable Flatbuah section,” said a prominent Atlanta club woman, chat ting with a friend the other day. "I whh stopping with my sister and had occasion to witness the fashion ns : t developed. This Brooklyn matron f round her household duties too heavy one day to enable her to tak« her $100 bull dog out for an airing. Her mold was busy, too, so she tele phoned to a messenger service com pany and had a boy detailed to her house. For an hour the boy exer cised the dog Other women thought it .i good plan and now strings of uniformed boys may be seen leading costly dogs. Some of the youngsters enjoy the job, and when out of sight of the owner they romp and play In vacant lots with the pets'’ Keeping Rats in and Keeping Rats Out. "The other day when ! was in New York." remarked a buyer for one of Atlanta’s big stores. "1 was on a Thirty-ninth Street, Brooklyn, ferry boat and noticed that the hawsers mooring a liner to the Red Hook pier passed, through what looked like big pie plates about four feet in diame ter. The disks were about half way between the ship and the pier I asked the ferryboat captain what they were for." " ’Why,’ said he. 'those are to keep the foreign rats aboard and keep the American rats ashore.’” Things Have Changed Since That Time. "I have lived In Atlanta for about thirty-eight years,” said the book keeper for one of the big department stores, "and I never cease to marvel at the greatness of the town. When ever I get the chance I like to wan der about the streets downtown and in some parts of the residence sec tions. Just to note the progress that has been made 1n improvements. When I arrived in Atlanta there was a swamp along wide A he old Union depot. My train got in at night. I could hear the frogs croaking In the bullrushcH by the tracks as I climbed down out of the* passenger coach and looked about for a place to j>ut up for the night. The property where that swamp existed is worth a pyei* ty penny to-day. Whin I observe the great changes that are taking place I wonder if 1 am in the same city to which I cams more than a quarter of a century ago. I can’t re member a time when some big pub lic improvement was not under way.

It does beat all time how Atlanta grows!" SCHWAB TO AUCTION HOUSE. I’ROVTDKNCB, May 8.—Charles M. Schwab, who owns a house ip the ex clusive east side f»«ctton of this city, is to have the place sold at public auction on May lit. It was built at a cost of 1260,000.
