ROME GEORGIA, FRIDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 3 1897 THE CONVICTS legislative committee 4FORMULATED A BILL. RFORMS INCORPORATED \\ ill he Reported and Acted on AT ONCR. This morning’s Constitution says; 1 he new convict b.ll, which was adopted by the committee of eleven at a late hour last night and which die houss is pledged to pass, will pr. ve today one of the biggest surprises ever sprung upon the Georgia legislature. It incor porates every feature that the house ordered it to incorporate when it answered tbe Brannen catechism and adopted the Bran nen resolution, but it goes much further than that, and includes maty of the reform features of the Hall bill with none of the ob jectionable provisions which made that measure unpopular when it was first i itroduced. The new bill is by no means a re-enactmant of the old lease. It provides for the hiring out of con victs for short terms, but so hedg es the system about with stafe control that every convict camp is to be a little penitentiary by itself, absolutely owned and man aged by the state. It provides for a central peni tentiary for the women and the o’d men and a reformatory for the boys. It makes it necessary to equip stockades with separate Cr>Us lor each able-bodied convict, and di rects a separate employment, so far as possible, of the white and blacks It gives the state the right to in spect misdemeanor convicts and to remove them from county au thorities wheneuer the law is being violated. COMMITTEE PROMPT TO MEET. By answering the remaining questions of the Brannen catechism yesterday the house decided that the penitentiary department un der the new system should con sist of three com missionere, to be elected by tbe people as other state officers are now elected. The only disagreement among the members as to the letter clause, a number hold'iig that the governor should have the right to appoint. As was predicted in The Constitirion yesterday morning, hovaver, the majority did not take this view of the case, In compliance with the Brannen resolution Speaker Jenkins ap pointed the following committee, one from each eongressional dis trict to draw up a bill on the plan outlined. », The committee met last night at the capital and completed the b.ll! They aggreed to make the terms of the commissioners six years, but disputed for some time as to the amount of salary the majority finally fixing it at {2,000. The bill will be ready tor presentation tomorrow morning. WITH THE REGULARITY’ OF A CLOCK. Cheney’s Expectorant will in variably cure a desperate cough and case of the lungs.

Mill wee, also of Horatio one of the wealthiest men in the town, aud a man noted for hie fearless and bravery.

Miliwee and Dr. Smith were mortal enemies, and the bad threat ened to kill each at sight. Frierds for a time prevented a meeting : between the two men, as they felt certain that guns would be used, but they were not prepared for the feat ul trigedy which occured. Millwee and Dr, Smith met ’u f;ont of the Locke hotel, Dr. Smitvv was just emerging fiom tbe hotel as M.l'wee w»s crossing tbe street, coming in that direction. Both men quicklj drew their wea pons and opened fir# ahnpst si multaneously. Several shots were exchanged. Smith receiving a wound in the left, arm at Millwee’s first shot, He continued the battle ■however, and only gave up the contest when he sank to the ground dead with a bullet through i his heart. I J . J. Smith came to his broth 'er’s assistance just as the fatal bullet fired and drew his pistol en Millwee. Hie weapon snapped, however, and Miilwee, turning hie atten tion to the brother sent a bullet crashing into his head. That en ded the battle for the time, but there is much excitement over the terrible affair. J. J. Smith will die. Seriff McConnell went down to Cave Spring this morning.
