Atlquta Correspondence Macon Telegraph.
Early in this session of the Legislature
a iolnt resolution was introduced in the
Senate by Mr.. Smith, OF the Thirty second,
inuuiring of Gov. Mcdaniel how much the
convict lessees were in arrears to the
State Tor escaped convicts, requesting him
to inform the Legislature the amounts
due by each lessee company. The resOlu-
ton passed the Senate unanimously, and
was concurred in by the House by sImi-
lar vote. The resolution was subsequent
ly transmitted to the Governor-at least
the presumption is that it was so trans
mitted, and Senator Smith was so in
formed.
Although nearly year has elapsed
since the resolution was adopted by the
General Assembly, nothing has been
heard from it. Members who desired the
information asked for are beginning to
express some curiosity as TO the DISPOSE
ton of the resolution, and do not under
stand why the Governor should fail or re-
fuse to respond to a request Of this char
acter made almost unanimously by the
legislature.
The resolution was introduced by Mr..
Smith on information from those in a posi-
ton to know that the arrearage Of the
lessees for escaped convicts amounted at
that time to considerable sum, ranging
somewhere between $4,000 and 100000
Under the law the lessees are compelled
TO pay to the Governor for the State $500
for each escaped convict.

The savannah News.


One of our South Georgia exchanges
grumbles at Mr.. j. H. Estill, proprietor
OF the Savannah NEWS, because he has
put the price Of his weekly down to 81 %
year, and IL claims that he has thereby
damaged the country press. Putting the
price Of the city weeklies down TO 81 and
81 % has damaged the country press very
seriously. but Mr.. Estill is not to blame
for it. He held out at 81 as long as he
could. All the other city papers have, at
times, come directly into competition with
the country weeklies. A few years ago
it was customary for travelling agents OF
the city papers to solicit job printing by
undertaking, in small towns where the
county paper had a job office, and what
was worse, 10 try TO get the county ad.
vertising away from the county paper.
Some years ago the Constitution offered
the officers Of certain county so per cent.
of the advertising fees to change the adj
vertising and give it 10 them. This was
published at the time. Such things were
not uncommon then; but fortunately the
growing strength Of the country press
makes it impossible new.
In various ways the city press tried to
override the country press, until the lat
ter grew to a position where II was able
TO command respect. But in none of
these matters did j. II. Estill take part.
ne always INSTRUCTED MS agents not 70
try to get the country printing from the
county paper, nor TO solicit job printing
in county town where there was a Job
Office.
Other city papers run the price of their
weeklies down to 81, with the purpose of
outdOing the country WeekHes They
could we'll afford this for ali the type that
goes into their weekly has already gore
into their daily. and is therefore paid for
hence the cost OF their weekly is only the
white paper and tbs press work. They get
rid OF the greatest expense, and then outdo
the cOuRtrY press by putting their price
so low that a country weekly cannot
probably compete with them. This is the
worst blow that has ever been struck at
the country press.
The Savannah NEWS is the only one OF
its class that kept up the price Of its
weekly "a 81 until recently. when it was
doubtless compelled 10 come down.. In
this. as in a hundred other WAYS, Mr.. j.
II. Estill has shown thst be is the best
friend the country press ever had. We
take pleasure IN saying. too, that the
Savannah WEEKLY NEWS is the best
weekly in the State. 1t Is made up with
a view 10 completeness, and is not mere
mass Of matter thrown together at ran
dom, as is the case with most OF the clty
weeklies. We commend IL N our readers,
and take pleasure in doing so.
