lease to the Gulf and Ship Island
Railroad Company, on account of
objections raised 10y himself and the
Acknowledgement, was not consum-
mated. We further note hat Sena-

ton in the Senate reciting that there
was great uncertainty as to the
amount due by the Penitentiary
Lcssees TO the State. and calling at
leDtinn to the fact that the act of
1884 only authorized repairs and

concludes 10y providing for a general

titulc Of the Lessccs and the State,
End an inquiry into the work done
under the contract, and by whose
direction the work was done.
Representative Williamson, OF
Carroll, has also introduced reso-
luton relating to the Pcnitcn,ialy
matter, which covers substantially
The same ground embraced in Dill
lard'S Senate resolution, except that
it goes fugthcr, and provides for an
invcs igaiIon of the workings and
treatment OF the convicts leased out
side OF the walls, and makes appro
priations for paying the expenses of
the committee. In order to allow
time for these Investigations, the
time for clccting the Superintendent
Of the Penitcntiary is postponed
until the first Tuesday in February.
1t is now evident that a severe dis
cu>sion OF the pcnitentiary system
of this State will be had before the
election of the Superintendent, and
all the facts relating to the present
lease fully ascertained 1t is to be
hoped, las result, that the Ubiquitous
leasing system will be abolished
altogether, and the convicts hercaf-
ter kept under the direct control of
the State.

GREAT GRIEF,

From the Atlanta GA Banner Watchmar.
Uncle Dick Saulter says Fifty years ago
had a running ulcer on my leg which refused TO
heal under any treatment. In 1858 l went to
California and remaine eighteen months, and
in 1878 l visited Hot Springs, Ark, remaining
three months, but S not cured. Ampuation
was discussed but 1 concluded to make one
more effort. commenced taking the b b. b.
about six weeks ago. The Gfty-year-ol sore on
my leg is healing rapidly, and Yesterday walk
ed about fifteen miles fishing and hun ting with
out any pain, and before using the B. b. b.
could not walk exceeding half Il mile. l sleep
soundly at night for the first time in many years.
To think that six bottles have done me more
good than Hot Springs, eighteen months in Cali
