BROWN EYES In an opinion rendered Tues day, the court of appeals holds that a transfer of whiskey, upon a promise of pay at some future day, constitutes a legal sale, ami is therefore in violation of the prohibition law. W. S. Finch, of Rome, was convicted of violat ing the statute, and appealed the case on the ground that he re ceived no money for the whiskey be was alleged to have sold. ’1 his point was overruled, but the court reversed the decision be cause of the introduction at the trial of irrelevant testimony cal culated to be prejudicial, and Finch will get a new trial.

Gov-Elect Brown Gives His Views on the Subject Governor-elect Joseph AL Prown advocates the insuanee of bonds for the payment of teachers’ sal aries. Air. Brown outlined his policy in an address at Elberton. He said in part: “I suggest that we take at once the necessary steps to catch up with our school fund and pay every public teacher in Georgia, his or her salary monthly. It is impracticable for us to collect in one year the necessary sum from taxation and accomplish this re sult, and it would be almost crim inal for us to stop the schools of Georgia to enable us to catch up with our funds. What, then, must we do? What will first suggest itself to every business man who calmly considers this condition should he be confront ed with like conditions in his own business affairs? He would at ongfi take the necessary steps to raise the money by the use of his cfedit. 1 propose that we handle in like manner for the state and for the teachers the situation that now confronts us, and utilize the credit of the state to relieve the condition. The leg islature at its coming session should propose and submit to the pv3p!t‘..M t his state an amend ment to the author izing the issuance of about'>r<?JJU 000 of bonds, the proceeds m which' should be used to create a permanent loan fund to In* loan ed every spring to the school fund for the payment of the teachres’ salaries and returned to this loan fund in December when the taxes are collected. This fund should be sacredly guarded and not, used for any other purpose. “The state could raise this money upon a three per cent ba sis. When not in use the de positories would pay sufficient rate to reduce the interest to the state to two per cent. The bonds so issued might be retired in a few years at the rate of SIOO,OOO per annum without the necessity of any increase in our tax rate.” WOULD RELEASE DISABLED CONVICTS With a view to relieving the state of the necessity of caring for convicts who are invalid or disabled to work, Governor Smith in his message to the legislature, will recommend the inauguration of a system of reports from each county convict camp which will keep the prison commission and the governor constantly informed as to the physical condition of any inmate of the penitentiary. Upon bis recent visit to the state farm, where he came in con tact with a number of prisoners who were unable to work and who were kept there as if in a hos pital ami at a constant expense to the state, the governor was in pressed with the necessity of a system of reports which will bring such cases to the attention of the commission and the chief executive. The governor believes that a convict who has 1 been rendered helpless either by accident or old age is removed beyond the possi bility committing crime, that his freedom would no longer con stitute a menace to the public and that the state would gain nothing by continuing to punish him with i onfinernent. Consequently, the governor bej lieves that the pardoning powe* should be exercised in such cases and his recommendations to the legislature along this line will conform to this opinion.
