Atlanta, July 31- —The house 1 nurs day adopted a me a ure providing for a constitutional amendment to be sub mitted to the people, in October, abol ishing the convict lease system in Georgia alter D. ccmber 31, 1911. There were only three votes against the measure, and none of these were opposed to abolishing the system, be cause .they did not consider the amendment, A offered, perfect. Text cf the Amendment. It reads a.s follows: The prevention and punishment or crime and restraint and contiol of criminals is a fundamental duty of the state, and no department of the government of Georgia or subdivision thereof shall have the power to hire out or lease any convict or the labor thereof to any private person or cor 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 irg it to the next legislature to Ox a solution. All county primaries will be held cn the date of the state primary , fix ed by the state executive committee, If the favorable report of the general judiciary committee cf the house be comes a law. The mea ure to provide for the or ganization cf the ‘'-'Georgia Volunteers.” to be coThpcsed of men who have serv ed in the National Guard of Georgia, was favorably reported by the house committee on military affafrs by the narrow margin of one vote, cast by the chairman. Prohibition Up Again. Near the close of the present ses sion of the general assembly there is to be precipitated a near prohibition fight for a bill was introduced in the house Thursday morning which' proposes to tax all places in Georgia that sell any near beer, containing less than one ar 1 ore per cent alcohol, S3OO for this priv cot e. Thursday's session, c* the senate TRENTON, GA. FRIDAY V. as qdie., Uli.y kudijc uu„.~oS l*e ing lha ord.r cf the day. Atlanta, Aug. I—Air1 —Air a brief session of the house Friday several general bills were passed. Chief air.*_uig these was the “purifi cation of the ball/)t” bills introduced j ty Mr. Wright, of Richmond. Tiie first provided for the filing and j rublicaticn of the expenses, and how ! spent, cf the-candidates for all offices | to be voted for in the democratic yri j mar j*. The next bill was to prohibit corpor ations from contributing to carr-pafyn funds or money to be used fer politi cal purposes. It provided a fine oF five times the amount contributed and punishment for the contributor by im prisonment from one to four years. This bill passed without objection, j receiving the vote of the 100 members ! present. Agricultural Schools. That the eleven district agricultural cNlcges of the state, and the £IOO - agricultural college at Athens will be taken care of by Georgia this year, house appropriation committee Friday p-poitcj favorably measures which looked to this end. 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 house general judiciary committee on Friday afternoon cn three general bills of universal importance—the Ams tra’iaja ballot measure, the employers’ liability bill and that measure which provides that wills executed in for eign lands may be admissible as evi d nee when properly probated abroad and at plce of action. The : er.ate committee substitute'-for the Been banking bureau bill ,v as amended ard passed bv the senate Friday rnd immediately transmitted to the house. This bill provides for the appoint rr.ert of a state hank examiner and necessarily assistants. The examina tion of fees for the. payment of those examinations: limiting the bank’s bor rowing capacity: to fx the liability for embezzlement, and for other pn.r ;\j 3- 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 acted upon before adjournment on Au gust 12th, I will call the legislature in extra seislcn to di pore cf t— whole matter,” ceil Govcuncr -mith ~~ill } f\e * Q lIOW comv 1 - c a ♦ * <> t f ;Vh day £\\ f 3 Official Organ of Dad e County. mi..;, r cf wot -< 9 es vho l ave been subpc erqr-l bro e net jet trea I.earJ, | and t! c date oft! o cbmpleticn of the i invcrtivptivg committ c’s work cannot be forecasted. The present lease sys tem expire? cn April 1, 1909 If the i evils • f the pro-ent system are not | thoroughly investigate J and a report made- by the end cf this week, it will probably mean that an extra session is inevitable. The two houses are at logger! cads over the disposition to be made •>: the stage’s convicts, and the outcome will p-ohab!v and mend upon | the investigating committee’s report. 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 for in the bill introduc’ and by Senator Deen, at, the reouest of the Georgia Bankers’ association and recently pass ed in the senate, the house commit tee on banks and banking referred the bill to a subcommittee composed of 'Chairman Heard and Messrs. I>)rial 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. Payton Warls Congressional Seat, Atlanta, Aug. G. —Hon.
