poration by any contract to extend
beyond the 31st day cf December,
1911.
This is substantially the substitute
as hr. t 'drawn up by Mr. Adams of
Chatham, which-simply provides taat
the lease shall end on December 31,
l'jll. There are no whys and where
fores, just a plain estoppel, and lcav

bln addition, the committee took fa
vorable action upon the measure ny
Mr. Tarrett, of Stephens county, which
provides for a return to the practice
of paying oil pensioners annually, la
st ad of Quarterly. This practical
ly insures the passage of the meas
ure this season.
Favorable report was made by the

Atlanta, Aug. 3. —That the legisla
tive investigation committee, now pro
b ng the convict gyft.t ni in Georgia,
wil conclude its hearings this week
and will report to belli branches of
the general assembly its findings and
re vo mre q.n and a tic. nr next Monday is the
come nous of opinion at the state capi.
to 1 .
What, these reports and recommen
dations will be, of course, no one
knows or surmises, as the committee,
it is understood, has not discussed
these hearings informally, much less
formally, yet.
But it is believed, however, by
£ wisp who have followed the testi
mony do’kvert and on the witness sta;i-1,
for it is cn this solely the report is
to be based, that no recommendations
for impeachment will be found against
any one; that the commission will bo
censured for allowing the deputy war
dens to be paid by the lessees; for
permitting cruelty at the convict
camps, both of the lessees and at toe
state farm, when it could have been
ascertained so easily upon investiga
tion: that the formed state warden
evil! be censured for dealing in con
victs while an employee of the com
mission, and that recovery be had of
the lessees on bonds fer infraction of
the prison ccmmission rules and reg
ulations.
Mr. Holder of Jackson, is endeav
oring to get before the house a bill,
favorably reported, which will extend
the present book contract for another
period of two years. As it is now,
the s recent contract expires on Janu
ary 1. 1909.
He declares it will save the state
school children thousands of dollars
to make a change in text books right
now.
A special order in the house is the
measure by Mr. Fraser, of Lioert},
providing for the appointment of a
state game and fish warden and the
passage of a law wnich will protect
fin, fur and feather in Georgia.
Mr. McMichael, of Marion, lias a
bill pending to change the complex
ion of the state school board from its
present composition to that of the at
torney general, the state school com
missioners, governir and six educatois
to be named by the governor, instead
of tne first three named and the comp
troller general and secretary of state.
This is the last week for the intro
duction of bills, lccal or geneial.
Atlanta, Aug. 4.—“lf the legislative
committee, now probing the convict
system, does not complete its labors
in time for a thorough and exhaustive
report to bp made at this session and

probably mean that an extra session
is inevitable. The two houses are at

outcome will p-ohab!v and mend upon

Hours of labor for children in fac
tories are to be reduced from 11 to 1;)
(the same as the convict bill provides)
and the age limit is to be fixed at 12
years, if the bill offered by Mr. Wright
of Floyd, amending the Bell child la
bor bill law, as favorably reported by
the general judiciary committee of the
housje Monday afternoon, Is adopted
into a law.
Atlanta, Aug. G. —Probing into the
convict lease system is still going on,
and the investigating committee is
piling up an astonishing and surpris
ing array cf evidence. The princi
pal witnesses Tuesday were Captain
J. W. English and former Chief War
den Ja’ e Moore, whose testimony be
fore the committee was very interest
ing and at times quite startling. The
committee will probably call no ad
ditional witnesses after the members
of the prison commissVn are houd.
The report, of the expert auditors will
be heard and the committee will then
consider the evidence and make up
its report.
Increase Tax Values.
What is declared will increase the
taxable values cf all corporations m
the state r* ;\v under the jurisdiction
of the railroad commission will be the
measure favorably reported by the
h.ouse railroad committee Tuesday,
which gives the right to the railroad
commission to assess these properties
instead of allowing them to make re
turns t,o the comptroller general and
then arbitrate.
The measure to be reported is one
drawn up by Mr. Hall of Bibb, and
amended by Air. Perry of Hail.
This was the only general bill re
ported
After a two-hour debate over tjie
measure to amend and strengthen the
banking kiws-of tb- state as doolaxod

son of Decatur ard McFarland of Mc-
Intosh. They will report later.
!n the Senate.
Pra/tiea'ily the entire time cf the
senate was taken up Tuesday with
discussvrn of the convict question.
Senator Peacock introduced a reso
lution calling on the governor to call
an extra session for the purpose of
disposing of the convict question and
displacing all bii/s relating to this
question. After spirited debate the
resolution was voted down, 32 to 7.
In supporting this resolution, Sen
ator Felder declared that the senate
could only act in blindness at this
time and declared his belief that Gov.
ernor Smith would never sign any
measure not providing for the immedi
ate ending cf the lease system
The amendment, offered to the Fel
der bill by Senator Walden, prohib
iting the working of convicts in
the mines, was voted down. De
bate on the measure and various
amendments was spirited and at times
acrimonious.
