Ihe fortune of W. B. Lowe, one
of the lessees of the convicts of
Georgia, is estimated on good au
thority’ to be $250,000. Ten years
ago Mr. Lowe was not worth any
thing. In the light of these facts
it is reasonable to suppose he has
made his monej- by leasing convf •is
at $16,454 per head per year. *’lo

money this way, but it can he just- !

* Sr-
Georgia’s Convicts.
Tlte principal keeper of the peni
tentiary sent to the Comptroller-
General last week bis annual state
ment of the money due the State
by the lessees of State’s convicts.
The statement was as follows:
Joseph E. Brown, president of
penitentiary company No. 1, to the
State, to hire of 2924 convicts, at
per head, from April 1,
1887, to April 1, 1888, $4,813.08.
W. B. Lowe, president of peni
tentiary company No. 2, to the State
to hire of 584 convicts at $16,454
from April 1, 1887, toApril, 1, 1888,
$9,607.91.
J. W. English, president of peni
tentiary company No. 3, to the State
to hire of 6434 convicts at $16,454
from April I, 1887, to April 1,1888,
$10,588.69.
The above statement shows that
Georgia receives for 1,520 convicts
$25,010.08 per year. These figures
are enough to show that there is'
something wrong somewhere. A
system that shows such results cer
tainly needs reforming. Individuals
are making immese fortunes by the
employment of the convict labor of
the State. The peoples’ interests
■ire being neglected and their rights
trampled upon, while Brown, Lowe
and English are beneficiaries. A
system that builds up private for
tunes at the expense of the people
it large is dishonest. Rast legisla
tures have allowed this; it remains
to be seen what future ones will do.
i The Coosa Appropriation.
The people of the Coosa river re
gion are not at all satisfied with the
monger appropriation of $60,000 re
ported from the river and harbor
■ommittee, for the improvement of
ihis great and important artery of
commerce.
It is evident from the Record that
our immediate congressman has
lone his duty to the great interest
in which a portion of his constitu
ents are interested, and if other con
gressmen from Georgia and Ala
bama had been equally vigorous,
the cause of present dissatisfaction
would doubtless have been modified.

it is. An enormous sur
plus, accumulated at the cost of the
sweat and toil of the farmers of the
land, and nothing to do with it but
appropriate it to clean out rivers,
which does not benefit the people at
large, but only the favored few liv
ing along their banks. With a
bursting treasury behind congress
the Tribune thinks it is picayun
ish because the Coosa gets only
$60,000. But it is a compliment to
congress in that it refused to squan
der public funds as lavishly as some
who would have been benefited
thereby would have had it to do.
The Capitol.
Georgia's capitol is fast nearing
completion. The people have rea
son to congratulate themselves up
on the fact that it is one of the few
public buildings that will be com
pleted within the time allotted, and
for the amount contracted for. It
is estimated that only nine hundred
thousand of the one million a)ipi-o
priated will be needed, and still
there has been no attempt made to
cut down expenditure by using
cheap materials. In size, appear
ance and convenience it will com
pare favorably with other Capitols
costing three times as much.
Last week Frank Haralson, State

When a past legislature threat

Western & Atlantic railroad, be
cause the bond was not in accord

Joey Brown was willing enough to
waive any claim for betterments
upon the understanding that-the

Don't Like Store Clothes.
A good many people like simplic
ity in dress and try to advocate it
among their friends. They do not
usually go as far, however, as Jo
seph Hopkins did lately in South
ern Georgia. Joseph disliked “store”
clothes extremely and lost no op
portunity of showing his contempt
for them. When, therefore, the
other day a friend of his approach
ed thus arrayed both Hopkins and
his brother remonstrated with him
forsuch impropriety and emphasized
their remarks by killing him with
stones. Now Joseph’s brother will
be hanged on May 11th and Joseph
will spend the rest of his natural
life where store clothes will not be
often seen, namely, in the prison
coal mines. In a conversation he
said, philosophically : “I reckpn 1
will get used to it. I will have to
try anyhow; but I never did like a
man that wore store clothes.” It is
not often that a man will sacrifice
<o much for his convictions.
Stingy Men.
Stingy man, yes. He chewed to
bacco, dried his chew, smoked it,
gave his wife the ashes to brush her
teeth with, and made her go and
spit on the garden as a fertilizer.
Such a man might do to bottle up
and sell as mucilage that will stick
to anything that comes in his way,
but he won’t do for a husband.—
Rockmart Slate.
Stingy man, somewhatly. Last
week he employed a man to dig a
well, in the course of which it be
came necessary to fire off a blast.
This was done prematurely, before
the well-digger got out of the well.
He was blown straight upoutofthe
well and fell back in it and imme
diately resumed work. That night
in settling with him for the days
work his employer docked him for
the time lie lost while in the air.

One of the brightest, bravest and
i best edited weekly papers in the
state, is the Chattooga News. It
; has decided opinions, and it ex
i presses them in good, plain Eng
i lish. Such papers are a credit to
journalism.—Tribune of Rome.
We can but feel grateful to our]
esteemed contemporary for so high
an opinion of us. We try in our
feeble way to do what we conceive
! to be right.
We notico that Mr. W. W. Gor
don is mentioned as a candidate for i
congress from the first district. As
| long as the first district permits!
Captain Gordon to remain out of;
, congress, it is losing the services of .
• one of the most useful public men
Georgia ever had.—Atlanta Consti-
! 1 tution.
Yes, and if the first district were
■i to retire Mr. Norwood, it would
, likewise lose the services of one of
. the most useful public men Georgia
Cover had; so the first will lose in
any event.
B. A. Close was in the village
Wednesday. He is an applicant for
an appointment as mail agent on I
' the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
and his selection for that position
would be highly gratifying to the
! people of this county. Mr. Clem
ents could not select a better man,
or one whose appointment would
give more satisfaction toChattooga,
\ and as she is entitled to recognition,
there is little doubt that Mr. Close
i will receive the position.

holders claim that Jay Gould lias

' much money to ever go to the pen

The Atlanta Constitution advises
President Cleveland to firmly niain

: tency.

On Sunday evening last a diffi

who were employed by the pile
drivers on the railroad at Trion.
Williams drew a pistol and fired at
Jackson; Jack‘on knocked Wil
liams down with a shovel, but he
regained his feet and fired four oth
er shots, two of which took effect:
one in the back, causing only a
slight wound; the other struck the
chin or face and ranged toward the
back of the neck, where the ball
lodged and was taken (Hit rty Dr.
I Rudicil. Jackson struck 'Williams
two blows with the shovel, once on
the arm and once on the head. The
blow on the head was a severe one
and caused a good deal of pain.
