ANENT WHITE CONVIGTS
'Prison Commission Will Dispose
of Them Temporarily.
Farm Will Be Purchased as Early as
Possible and the Whie Convicts
Will Work It.
Atlanta, Ga.—The white convicts
of the state will have to be placed
temporarily upon the public roads.
There appears to be no escape from
this disposition of them following Gov
ernor Smith's refusal to approve the
purchase of the Wimberly place in
Twiggs county as a state prison farm,
It is not that the prison commission
will refuse to make further effort
to find a farm which conforms to its
ideas as to what the law contemplates,
put that, as Chairman J. S, ‘Turner
stated, the commission does not at
present know of any other available
farm which, in its opinion, would fill
the bill,
The commission, Chairman Turner
stated, will proceed with its investi
gations with a view to finding and
buying a farm at the earliest possible
date, but. to do this in time to take
care of the white convicts on April 1,
or at any time within the next month
or more, he states, would be manifest
ly impossible.
It is practically settled, therefore,
that the 300 white convicts of the
state will have to go temporarily on
the public roads.
The commission will not, however,
distribute them pro rata among the
counties of the state., It is its pur
pose to dispose of them as “overs” or
as the new law contemplated ‘“overs”
should be disposed of, should there
be any.
The whit: convicts will be sent
chiefly to the larger counties of the
state, such as Fulton, Richmond, Bibb
and others if they are prepared to
take them and work them separate
and apart from the negro convicts.
It is said that Fulton would take
all of them if the commission should
so award them, but it is likely they
will be divided among three or four
of the larger counties.
This policy will be pursued because
of the fact that the arrangement will
be only temporary and it is the com
mission’s purpose to get a farm and
put them on it just as soon as it can
do so.
LIQUOR LEAGUE P«OHIBITION LAW.
Model License Organization Suggests
a Vote of People Be Taken.
Atlanta, Ga.—Definite proof of the
fact that the manufacturers and deal
ers in whisky and other alcoholic bev
erages are making a concerted effort
to bring about certain changes in the
present prohibition law in this state,
has recently come to light in the
shape of a letter that has just been
received by a member of the Georgia
legislature from an organization of
liqguor men known as the National
Model License League, with headquar
ters in Louisville, Ky.
It is presumed that every member
of the legislature has received a sim
ilar communication, The letter re
quests that the voters of Georgia be
given an opportunity of expressing
their exact. wishes in regard to the
sale and use of alcoholic beverages.
The manner in which this may be
done, according to the letter, is Dby
permitting the people of the state to
vote for- or against the saloon license,
the tavern license or the merchants’
license. ,
The term saloon license is self-ex
planatory, tavern license is explained
as a license to permit liquor to be
used with meals at hotels, while a
merchants’ license is one that allows
liquor to be sold in original packages
not to be opened on the premises of
the merchant. In case no form of
license were adopted, prohibition
would be the result. The letter states
that the league does not favor the
sale of alcoholic beverages in terri
tory where the people do not want to
use liquor and that the league will
not oppose any law against the use
of liquor in prohibition territory.
GEORGIA PEACH UNHURT.
Fruit Growers Believe Crop is Now
Practically Beyond Danger.
Adairsville, Ga.—lt' seems that the
Georgia peach crop for 1909 may wve
safely said to be practically without
the pale of danger with reference to
the possibility of serious damage from
severe frost or free. Such is the
opinion of prominent growers here,
which is the heart of the Elberta sta
tion of northern (Georgia,
As the orchards about Adairsville
are the ones that are farthest north
in the state, they are the ones most
I:kely to be affected by the cold: The
fact that they are pronounced safe
by the principal growers of that sec
tion i 8 a pretty good indication that
the 1909 peach crop throughout the
state is in good way to bring a nor
mal crop in point of quantity, and one
that will be most satisitactory .in the
guality of fruit produced. i

STATE GLEANINGS.
Preparations are being made to
give special accommodations to the
large number of school and college
giris throughout Georgia and this
gection who will attend the great
Southern Music festival at Atlanta
next May, the sth and 6th, From a
number of colleges will come parties
ranging in number from ten to fifty.
Such delegations will be given seats
side by side in the same section of
the big auditorium, The festival prom
ises to be one of the most important
educational events that the south
has known, as well as being a rare
entertainment,
The Augusta flood commission met
and abandoned the idea of building
an eight-mile levee on the ground
that it would cost too much, Acting
on the suggestion of the commission
er of Public Works Wingfield, they
adopted a report which recommends
the expenditure of a third of a mil
lion dollars for protective measures.
The long litigation which has been
pending about seven years inyolving
the state’s claim for taxes on fifteen
thousand shares of the capital stock
of the Western Railway of Alabama,
owned by the Central of Georgia Rail
way company, was settled &y the pay
ment by the latter company of $225,-
000 in satisfaction of all claims for
taxes against this stock to date,
“Whenever 1 reach any determina
tion with reference 10 my future,
which in any sense concerns the peo
ple of Georgia, I will very promptly
take them into my confidence by pub
lic announcement.,” In addition to
being a tacit announcement that he
has outlined no definite political
course for the future, the foregoing
statement, given out by Governor
Smith constitutes a very interesting
portion of an emphatic denial of a
recent article appearing in the Macon
Telegraph to the effect that he “will
either be the next governor of Geor
gia or will name the man who Is.”
The article in guestion was sent out
from Atlanta and quoted the govern
or as having said to a friend, “I will
either be the next governor of Geor
gia, or 1 will name him. It looks as if
I've got to be a candidate again. Un
less all sides join in making Murphy
Candler Mr. Brown’s successor 1 will
be in the race.” The governor class
es the interview as a “fake” and says
‘that while he can noi take time to
contradict all newspaper stories
about him, he feels called upon to
‘deny the rumor appearing in the Tel
iegraph. <
A peremptory order was issued by
Judge J. T. Pendleton, of the superior

holding for the protection of the
Georgia creditors of the company.
Receiver Riley will take charge of
the fund, and will administer it for
the benefit of the creditors of the in
solvent company in Georgia.
Just about the time he was to don
baptismal robes and enter the fount
of the Second Street Baptist church
at Macon, young Charles Miller, aged
23, found himself in the firm clutches
of the law. The young man joined
the navy about four years ago and
then decided the work was too irk
some and left. He came back to Ma

er than is generally believed. It is

last year, while in other sections it
will not run above one-half as great.
