STATE NEWS ITEMS The railroads of the state have granted a rate of one cent a mile each way to Atlanta on October 7 and 8, on account of the annu al reunion of the United Confed erate Veterans of Georgia. Arrangements have been com pleted by the prohibition nation al committee to hold two of the largest meetings of their cam paign in Georgia. Eugene W. Chafin, prohibition candidate for president, will speak on prohibi tion day, Oct. 10, at the Georgia State Fair, and on September 13 Aaron S. Wilkins, the vice presi dential candidate, will speak in Atlanta. Robert Hill, owner of the Dal ton Foundry and Machine Works was killed at Dalton Monday while crawling under a Southern freight train. Both legs were completely severed near the body and death resulted soon after h« was carried home. The deceased was 83 years of age and had been living in Dalton about sixty years. An “Uncle Remus” home for children is to be established near Atlanta, Ga., as a memorial to Joseph Chandler Harris. The Juvenile Protective association is to have charge of the institution, which will contain a school, gym nasi urn and mechanical work shop . Near the main building will be several other buildings, the largest of which will be the capitol, and the whole education al plant will be known as the “juvenile state.” The annual fertilizer bulletin of the state department of agri culture contains some interest ing figures in connection with the sales of fertilizers in Georgia for each year since the inspect ion law went into effect, begin ning with the season of 1874-75, when the department had to handle 110 different brands, and the total sales in the state aggre gated but 48,648 tons. From that time on there has been a gradual i increase, year by year, and more particularly since the farmers began to sell their cotton seed to the oil mills instead of using it as fertilizer, until during the sea son of 1907-08, just closed, the department has had to analize and inspect 1,822 brands and the total sales for the season were 842,775 tons, the largest in the ' state’s history. Up to this season , the season of 1905-06 held the re cord, with sales of 838,559. tons, I • ; while then was a slight drop : during the season of 1906-07 to 1786,736. tons. We against KxpernNm /I c* tne be- 1 * ‘ "■ 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 who have friends or loved ones buried there will please take no tice. C. C. McConnell. Why James Lee (Jot Well. Everybody in Zanesville, 0., knows Mrs. Mary Lee, of rural 8.
