In the house, Representative Hold er, of Jackson, introduced the first bill of the extra passion, and had it referred to the penitentiary committee, which he is chairman. Senator Felder, of Bibb, introduced the. first measure in the senate. He tried to have it made the special or der for Thursday, but was unsuccess ful. To Consider AH Bills. The senate proposes to consider all bills looking to changing the pres nt lease system upon their individual merits, and its action in refusing to give preferential place tcr-the" bill of Mr. Felder who was chairman c-f the committee which has been making the special investigation, was considered a distinct victory for the advocates cf the Holder measure. All senate bills were referred to tho penitentiary committe •, of which Dr. Brock is chairman. He is tire au thor cf a bill embodying most of the features of the Holder bill. The proclamation of the governor calling the extra session and his spe cial message outlining his views on the legislation to be enacted were r ad in both houses. Also the re port o investigating committ e whicn has been engaged in probing the e>n v;ct system, and the report of the au ditors who examined thfe books of tno penitentiary system, wer-_- read in full in both branches of the legislature. Discuss Governcr’s Message. The effect of the governor’s message noon bills introduced was generally discussed. He favors the employ ment of the convicts upon the state’s highways and upon an extension of the Western and Atlantic road to the The Holder bill was the only cne in troduced in the house. The three pr senetd in the senate were by Sen ate r Felder. Senator Brock and Sena tors Boyd and Martin. All provide for the termination at early dates of the convict lease system.

The advocates of the Holder bill In sist that this bill is not only the b :st solution of the convict problem yet in troduced, but that it is the only practical solution.

The bill of Senator Felder provides for the termination of the lease system cn April 1, 1900, the abolition of the prison commission and the appoint ment cf a board of prison dir ctors, and the purchase of property on which to establish prison farms. As the investigating committee did hot recommend the abolishment c? the prison commission, it is thought by those co liver .-ant with the sentiment among scions on both sides of the cap itr.3, that the legislature will net nuw do so.

It was comparatively mod.rate, con side ring the extreme suggestions vnicb have been mndo in some quar te rs The prison commission was severely censured for inattention and neglect. But there was 1 -mag in the cirnmit tcc’s report,- or in the accompany tag evidence, to Mow that the coramisrion had be n guilty of any act meriting impeachment 1 rot endings. ’t ae severe; t feature of the commit tee’s findings was that in which it dis co-vie 1 the commission's act in deliv ering to Dr. W.
