PRISON RMI INI FINDS BIG
RILLS PASSED
H SENATE
One Provides for Probation in
Minor Cases — Other Allows
Indeterminate Sentence.
With the concurrence of the State
Prison Board and of many Superior
Court Judges of Georgia, the Senate
has passed two measures designed to
change greatly the methods of deal
ing with convicts.
They do not interfere with the sys
tem of working convicts on the road.
In fact, Chairman Davisson, of the
Prison Board, believes the changes
will increase the efficiency of the
convicts in road building. But the
acts change the attitude of the State
toward the convict and_give the lat
ter a chance to work out his own sal
vation.
The first measure legalizes the right
of the judge to suspend sentence and
provides that an adult for whom sen
tence has been suspended may be
freed on probation. The second meas
ure provides indeterminate sentence.
The first act passed the Senate
unanimously and the second by a vote
uf 27 to 3. Both have been recom
mended for passage by the House
committees. So far as is known no
opposition has developed.
The bills sound complicated be
cause of the various safeguards and
restrictions thrown around the pro
posed changes, but their operation is
simple.
The probation bill means the trial
court has a right to suspend sentence
and yet exercise a supervision over
the sentenced. For instance, when a
man is sentenced for abandonment of
family, the judge, if he deems it wise,
can sentence the man to the chain-
gang. and then let him go free on pro
bation on condition that he goes to
work and supports his family.
By the same method a first offender
can be given a second chance, and
yet can be kept under the restraining
eye of the court. It is an application
in a limited way of the children’s
court probation system to adults.
The indeterminate sentence bill is
equally simple. After excluding life-
termers, persons previously convicted
of felony or convicted for criminal
assault or attempted criminal assault,
it provides a sentence for an indeter
minate period instead of a fixed num
ber of years. Then the convict’s be
havior determines whether he gets
out at the end of the minimum time,
or stays in to the maximum.
J. Ham Lewis Calls
For ‘Fathers’ Day’
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Senator
J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, has
come to the conclusion that the “Old
Man” of the family has not received
proper recognition from a grateful
country. He announced to-day his
intention to introduce a bill setting
aside July 29 as “Fathers’ Day.” Al
ready there is a “Mothers’ Day” and
a “Children’s Day.”
“The Old Man,” said the Senator,
“pays all the bills. On cold winter
mornings he gets up to light the fire.
In summer he works like a horse in.
mowing the lawn. His lot is not a
happy one. He deserves recognition.”
Aviator Quells Fire
4,000 Feet in the Air
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—“I thought I
tvas a goner,” said W. C. Robinson,
an aviator, as he related his feelings
while he was fighting a fire that
threatened to destroy his aeroplane
4,000 feet above Chicago’s business
district.
Crowds along Michigan Boulevard
and aviators at Cicero flying field
watching through glasses thought he
was a “goner.” too. But Robinson,
alone in the flaming aeroplane, fought
the fire with a hand chemical while
he made a perfect descent and landed
Just as the planes collapsed.

Expects to Pay for Hauling Away
Shrubs and Gets Five Dol
lars for It Instead.
“No, there isn’t a thing I want
that a want ad would bring me,” said
a North Side woman to a Georgian
want ad contestant as he chatted
with her on her front veranda. “Un
less I could get rid of that unsightly
big shrub in th^ front yard. It cuts
off my view and I’d like to pay a man
to take it it up and haul it away.”
“I believe you can do better than
that,” said the contestant, who knew
something of plants. “Let me sell it
for you.”
And next afternoon there came a
couple just completing a new home
who wanted to adorn their lawn, and
they gladly paid $5 for the shrub
and bore the expense of moving it.
And that’s what a want ad will do.
The contestants now at work are
running across a world of human in
terest stories. They find many strange
“wants” and many queer situations.
But they are rounding up the ads.
Contestants who are not informing
their friends about the race are over
looking their best opportunity. They
should tell every acquaintance, for
everybody is using want ads and ev
ery ad might mean a hundred or two
votes for a friend just as well as not.
The Want Ad Man will show con
testants how to secure the friends’
aid if you’ll ask him.
And if you haven’t entered the con
test now is the time. You still have
an excellent chance to get a start.

Texas Rains Cause Constant

COTTON GOSSIP
NEW YORK, Aug 2—Absence of
Liverpool cables and general showers
over the larger part of vtie Western
belt resulted in the cotton market open
ing weaker to-day, first prices at a net
decline of 4 to 18 points from Friday’s
closing quotations Good showers were
reported over the East and Central por
tions of Texas.
The market was long after yester
day’s upturn and there was much early
pressure from room sources Business
was active. New crop positions were
freely offered, but very little cotton
changed hands and prices suffered an
additional decline of 10 to 14 points In
most active positions from the opening
range. Liverpool cabled that Manches
ter was practically idle, and that spin
ners and Inanufacturers are cautious
Throughout the short session low lev
els were sustained, in response to a con
stant flow of long: cotton.
In addition to Texas rains, many Of
the more conservative element contend
that the Government failed to give the
crop as high percentage as it deserved.
They also contend that the benefit of the
recent rains should have been made up
in the report, but the percentage given
by the Bureau did not indicate such had
been added.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net decline of 19 to
20 points from the final quotations of
Friday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2.—Weather
velopments overnight were distinctly
favorable. Indications are for precipi
tation in the southern half of Texas,
cooler generally over the western and
northern half of the belt. Partly cloudy
with showers in southeastern quarter
and the Carolinas
Liverpool Is closed to-day and will be
closed on Monday. The market de
clined nearly 20 points In the early
trading on liquidation of long cotton
taken on the drouth in Texas and the
Bureau report which is released now
owing to rains in Texas. New York Re
ported McFadden heavy seller through
various brokers.
The tendency was to buy on the
break on the fear of bullish efforts sug
gested by Mr Price’s circular and also
on account of delay to the crop in the
Eastern States and possibly complaints
of too much rain. A spell of fair
weather is desirable in the Central and
Eastern States.
The market was steady at the decline
with new crops around 11.20. Market
prospects for next week depend on the
weather and increase In new crop move
ment in the West.

The New’ Orleans Times-Demorrat
says: “Nobody guessed the Bureau crop
condition figure low enough, conse
quently everybody spent the last half
of the session explaining somebody’s
error. A multitude admitted bad judg
ment. Many accepted the showing as
bullish. A few expressed the belief
the Government had erred. But the
market is so restricted by the fear of
adverse legislation that very little trad
ing was generated by the Government’s
figure of 79.6, which is .4 below the ten-
year-average. Because of the low Bu
reau, bulls attached much importance
to the dry w’eather in Texas and Ok
lahoma since July 25, and exploited the
claim that further deterioration lias
taken place in those States since the
compilation of the Bureau’s data.
"On the other hand, big crop people
dug into the record and found that be
tween April 15 and July 25 the Texas
rainfall amounted in 1913 to 7.53 Inches,
in 1912 to 7.59 inches, in 1911 to 7.56
inches. From these figures they drew
the deduction that the western plant,
which they say has a good tap root, can
not now be suffering more than nor
mally, and that the crop outlook on the
whole Is really excellent. However,
the consumer of cotton these days seems
to pin greater faith to the significance
of Government utterances on the condi
tion of the crop than does the middle
man. He is also slower to act. Thus,
to-day or Monday the market may
show strength as the result of buying
for consumers’ account."

The Chicago Inter Ocean says; ”A
good many wheut traders think that
with corn advancing, and Southwestern
receipt* of wheat declining present val
ues are low enough. Conservative com
mission houses are advising against
short sales, except on bulges. That a
bull market if? on in corn is certain, but
how long it wi 1 last depends upon the
weather. Every day of continued
drouth reduces crop possibilities. The
general belief is that without rain high
er prices will result. Sentiment in oats
is mostly bullish, and traders are look
ing for them to do better unless corn
breaks.”

Bartlett, Frazier Co. says: “‘Wheat—
We prefer long side of the market on
weak spots. -
“Corn It is possible that mme hold
ers liquidate rather than take chances
on precipitation* over Sunday, although
at the moment there seems to be very
slight prospect of rain.
“Oats Heavy covering by shorts was
a prominent factor yesterday, but there
was considerable outside buying.'’

ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET.
(By W..H- White, Jr., of th#v White Pro

Cattle receipts fair with a better as
sortment this week than usual. Several

shipped from Wartrace. These were in
class to themselves and were sold
promptly to the Atlanta packer at bet
ter than 7c. the top price of the week.
These were two-year-old steers and fat.
and tho price was not considered too
high for the quality. This only goes to
show that Atlanta is like other markets;
they will pay good prices for good stuff.
Tennessee cows and heifers were fairly
plentiful and prices ruled steady

ragged bunches in the pens, although
enough to supply the demand for this
class Prices vary according to flesh and

CHICAGO. Aug. 2.—The advancing
tendency of corn prices was unchecked
at the opening to-day, there being noth*
ing in the news coming forward to war#
rant lower prices for this cereal. Con*
tinufcd dry weather prevails over the
corn belt, although temperatures ava
more seasonable than for several dayJ
past. Shorts were the best buyers in
the pit at the opeiling and prices we <1
1% to l%c higher than ruled at yester
day's close. Reports received he 4
stated that farmers in many instance
were feeding wheat because of the
s< an tty of corn.
The stm gth and higher prices rulinq
in corn can led wheat % to %e higher,
September selling at %c higher. Thera
was a holiday at Liverpool. ReporU
showed weather in the Northwest deaf
and favorable for maturing the crop.
Receipts at both Northwestern points,
as well as Winnipeg, were light.
Oats gained % to %c on poor thrash
ing returns, although the strength ir>
corn also proved a help in this market.
Bearish construction was placed on
the semi-monthly reports on hog prod
ucts, and this, coupled with a weak hog
market, caused provisions to sell lower.
Some of the best posted men in tho
corn trade are Impressed with the idea
that this grains will be in the 70s next
week and that it will continue to ad
vance until checked by rains.
The gains to-day were l%c to l%c,
and there was noly a slight reaction
and decline from the best prices reached.
Only 90,000 bushels of corn were sold
here and 46,000 bushels of oaltf.
Wheat was up Zc to %c and ruled
strong. Cash sales were 46,000 bushels.
Oats gained %c to lc.
Hog products were lower all around.

Bailed Out, All Right,
But by Stomach Pump
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—There was no
chance for Max Rubin, in jail, to be
balled out in the usual way. Still he
wanted to get out, even if his next
summer resort had to be the county
hospital.
He pretended to have swallowed bi
chloride of mercury tablets and was
baled out with a stomach pump. In
deed, he was baled out so many times
that he finally admitted that he had
not taken the poison at all.
Drug Store Changes Hands.
The Hopkins Drug Company of De
catur has been sold by Edwin Davis
to Henry (\ Jordan, of Tucker, Ga.
Mr. Jordan has a dairy near Tucker.
