Then, too, under the recent order of Governor Atkinson the misdemeanor convicts have to be called in and the county will be put to considerable ox- jiense in maintaining them. It lias been found that the comity can work free labor on the roads to a l*tter advantage and at less cost than convict later. Had not the convicts teen put l«ack upon the county, the rate could have been reduced largely and the road work continued in full blast. Provision had to be made for a stockade for the pris oners and other necessities. The county officials, who met. yester day to fix the tax rate figured in every Way possible to get tl e rate down, but it could not be done. The rate last year was $8.94 on each thousand dollars. This year it will be #1.04. * The follawiqg tax levy was ordered made by Ordinary Herrington : It will soon be unsafe for lu.lit s to Walk upon the streets of Athens without protection unless a certain negro is at once apprehended. , The negro who struck Misses Huuui- cult and McMahan Wednesday afternoon repeated bis work last night. .lust after dark Mrs. K.
