Source From Which Each Coun
ty Will Receive Prisoners.
The Transfer of the Whole Number Is
to Be Made Without Exponse
to the State.
Atlanta, Ga,~—What will probably
constitute the final sheet, witn sowe
minor alterations in the meanume,
on which the convicts, of the staie
will be digtiibuted to the counties on
April 1, has been drawn up In the
oftice of the secretary 10 tue prisou
commission, ;
This sheet designates the source
from which each county will get ius
quota of convicts—ine state camps
from which the prison deparumeut
will turn the men over to wne county
authorities. In every instance eu
deavor has. been maae to save as
much travel as possible on the part
of the county authoriues and to s 0
arrange the schedule that each coun
ty will get its quota, whenever pos
sible, from the nearest siate caip.
In some instances this arrangemest
‘has been tound impossible, out 1n
none will the county have to make
more than one trip ror its men. Where
two trips would otherwise have been |
necessary, Secretary Yancey and his
assistant, Mr, Gardiner, have subst
tuted the next nest airangement oo
assigning to the county s whcle
numper at some more distant camp
to which the one trip would be o«
less distance than that of the two
trips which it would otherwise have
been required to make,
All the counties will be required
to take delivery of their convicts at
the state camp., This is something
that a number of them are said 10
misunderstand, The transfer of the
whole number will be without expense
to the state, therefore, each county
sending its own officers and payiug
its own transportation. .
Such guns as the counties may buy
from the state before April 1 will be
delivered with the men, according t 0
Captain Yancey. All equipment and
paraphernalia not so disposed of witn
the convicts will be brought to At
lanta and stored in the capitol base
ment.y

, Atlanta, Ga.—Governor Smith has
{ssued a public statement in which
he asserts that the railroads of Geo:-

financially as the result of state leg
jslation affecting corporations.
While it does not purport specifi
cally to be a reply to some things
said by Edward H. Harriman on the
occasion of his recent visit to Geor

to spead $10,000,000 on the Central of
Georgia, if this state would lift its

In its new convict camp Chatham
county will eclipse anything else of
the sort in the state if plans approv
ed by the county commisgioners are
carried out. The camp is to be near
Peeler. It is planned to care for one
‘hundred and fifty convicts, The coun
ty's quota is about one hundred, but
it hopes to obtain some of the “overs.”
‘The camp will be ready for the con:
victs on April 1, when the lease Sys
tem ends. A stockade Lwo hundred
by four hundred and fifty feet will be
puilt, fifteen feet high. Barbed wire
at the top of the fence will offer a
further obstacle in the way of would
ne escapes. The buildings will Dbe
erected at a cost of $9,000.
Suit for injunction was brougnut im
the United States court at Atlanta by
the Louisville and Nashville railroaua

Atlanta and West Point railroad de
benture cehtificates, owned nominally
by the Central of Georgia railroaa.
An injunction is sought agawust
Comptroller General =W. A. Wright
and against the Georgia Railroad and
Banking company, asking that tne
first be restrained from taking steps
to collect the taxes and the latter
from paying them. The suit forestalls
the levying of an assessment and the
issuances of fifas by the comptreller.
The amount involved is estimated in
the petition at $90,000, the alleged
back taxes being for the years 1893,
to 1908, to the state of Georgia, we
city of Augusta, county of Richmond,
and the board of education of Rich

Thousands of valuable books stored
in the basement of the state capitol
were discovered to be infected with
the genuine book worm—the Sitod
rea panacea, as it is technically
known—and many of these books
have been partially or wnolly ae
stroyed by its ravages. Just how
many of the velumes have been dam
aged and destroyed, it will be impos-.
sible to tell until a minute inspection
has been made, but the destructive
insect has been found in the books vu
many of the shelves in the three
basement rooms where these books
are stored. There are kept in tae
pasement altogether some 40,000
50,000 volumes, including supreme
court reports of almost every issue,
some of them reprints of early re
ports dating back to the organization
of the court; state laws of many leg
islatures, house and senate journats
and records of all sorts, many of
which have been in the possession of
the state for half a century.
Under the law, countjes may put
in their requisitions for state convicts
at any time, but they will have to
take their chances and wait until the
commission is in a position to supply
them as the time fixed by the prisuu
commission for first requisition has
passed. The number of counties om
the list, though some changes have
been made, is still one hundred and'
two. Two counties, Glascock and
crawford, have withdrawn their re
quests because the number of con
viets which they would receive is con
sidered two small to justify them in
the expense of maintaining a gang.
Two more counties have been added
to ‘the list, Bartow, which will be en
titled to seventeen or twenty-one, ac
cording to whether the white convicts
are put on the roads or not, and Col
quitt, which is likewise entitled to
cleven to fourteen, Several coun
ties which are entitled only to a
¢mall number of convicts have decid
»d to take them and turn them over
to Milton and Pickens under agree
ments which they will make with
them. Milton and Pickens have ask
ed for their convicts, and will turn
them over to Cherokee. Upson will
turn her convicts over to Pike, and it
is probable Clarke will get those of
Oconee county, and Chatham those of
Efingham. These are the only deals
made or pending between counties sO
far as the commission is advised. Un
der the new convict law, where 4
county does not take its legal pro
rata of convicts, and they are appor
tioned to some other county or coun
ties, the latter must ultimately pay
such county pack in convicts waen 1t
calls for them for work on its public
roads. Or, it is possible, under tune
law, for a county to call for its con
viets and turn them over to some oth
er county for a cash consideration,
the money to be m&fi&fi in improv
ing ”uifi .rfi sos the county sv
