Atlanta Ga., Aug. 25th. Th*
extra session of the general as
sembly of Georgia convened to
day to consider the convict ques
tion.
The whole day was taken up
with the reading of the lengthy
reports of the investigating com
mittee which has been probing
this question, the proclamation
and special message of Governor
Smith and the report of the au
ditors who have examined the
the. book's and accounts of the
penitentiary system.
Governor Smith urges that the
state convicts be employed as far
as possible upon the public high
ways and in extending the Wes
tern and Atlantic railroad, owned
by the state, to the seacoast.
The prison commission was
severely censured in the report
of the special investigating com
mittee, but there was no sugges
tion of the abolition of the com*
mission nor the impeachments of
members. The committee stated
its belief that the commission re
ceived no profit from deals made
by anybody in convicts. The
award of 185 convicts to Dr. W.
B. Hamby, when other would-be
lessees were willing to pay a
higher price, was severely cen
sured.
The report of the auditors
showed that the books of the
system were far from up to date
and were carelessly kept, though
only two errors, both minor ones,
were, discovered. The report
states the prison farm was run
as though it belonged to the su
perintendent.
Several measures were intro
duced to day providing for the
termination of the lease system
at an early date and the employ
ment of convicts upon the state’s
highways. In the house a bill by
Mr. Holder, of Jackson, was in
troduced which makes the date
of final termination Dec. 31, 1911,
though it may be ended before if
the practical problem involved
can be solved. Senator Felder,
chairman of the investigating
committee, proposes to end the
system upon the expiration of
the present lease contracts, Meh.
31 1909. After that time he
would have the larger number
apportioned among thh various
counties, and the remainder em
ployed on a farm to provide for
the support and maintenance of
the ones working outside.
The extra session will probably
last ten or fifteen days. It will
cost $2,000 a day.
The Macedonia cemetery will
receive its annual working next
Saturday September 29. All
