Atlanti, July 2. —A joint committee
from the hence and senate has been
appointed to draft a bill which will
be offered to the legislature "as a solu
tion of the convict question.
Tu this report it is thought the bill
will dedal e- in favor of re-leasing the
convicts, all the convicts where the
counties elect, or working all, where
it shall be do vded, this way. It iS
further expected that recommenda
tions shall be made fer separating the
white and black convict and also for
sepsiating the women convicts..
Chairman Turner, in his remarks
from the prison commission, suggested
flirt, the practice of judges leasing
misdemeanors to private individuals

It is believed that, the proposed bill
will declare in favor of abolishing
such leases.
