Washington, Ga, Sept. S-Quite a breeze
of discussion is being stirred up over the
county convicts. They have been leased
formerly TO Col r. d. Galloway. but now
the county Is debating whether It would
not be better to cancel the lease and put
its convicts to work on the public roads.
in lieu of the road hands who are now
hired to do the work. 1t is argued that the
work could be done cheaper and at the
same time, the convlcts would be more
humanely treated as IL would be to no one's
interest to oveIwork them.
Col Galloway, we understand, says that
If the county cancels the lease he will re-
fuse TO pay red cent for the time he had
had them, as he holds that they have no
right to cancel the lease.

TALK OF A D%EL.
Capt. Purse of Savannah and Mr..
Massey of Atlanta Principals.


Massey of Atlanta Principals.
From the Atlanta Constitution, Sept 8.
The state house officials were in ire
NOR of excitement yesterday over two SEN
sations-the wedding and rumors of
possible duel.
The wedding took from the genial cir
Gle one Of the shining gems and there was
a chance. that the code might take an
other within twenty-four hours.
AS the story went, Capt D. G. Purse of
Savannah had demanded personal salts
faction from Mr.. j. d. Massey, secretary
of the state railroad commission, and Mr.
Massey had expressed a perfect willing
ness to afford the doughty Savannahian
the opportunity.
This was no joke. but a serious matter
one might almost say, a dead serious
matter.
The two gentleman have been exchang-
ing livid correspondence for two weeks or
more, and the subject has reached the
point where it must either be dropped or
there must be a fight.
1t was reported during the afternoon
that the secretary had left for Sandbar
Ferry but it developed later that his alb
sence from the Office was accounted for
by his presence at the wedding at the ex-
ecutive mansion
The present complication grew out OF
some. cases which Capt. Purse had before
the commission. Back in July Capt. Purse
got Chairman L. N Trammell, of the rail-
road commission, to dictate an order set
ting a date for the cotton rate case. Mr..
Massey wrote out the order and by the
chairman's authority signed Col. Tram
melPs name to it. Capt. Purse took the or
der to the Postal Telegraph company and
sent it to the Savannah Press. A few days
later the Press sent Chairman Trammell
bill for "a. The chairman did not under
stand and asked for an explanation Then
Editor Stovall sent him a copy of the pa
per, when for the first time Col. Trammell
read what had been published over his
signature. The statement was included
that some other case was brought by Cant.
Purse would be decided on Aug. L. He had
not authorized the statement and he had
Mr.. Massey Investigate the matter. Mr.
Massey called for the original dispatch on
file in the Postars office, and there he
found, SO ii is claimed, the Interpolation,
This information was embodied in a writ
ten report to Chairman Trammell. The lat
ter sent it to Capt. Purse, asking for an
explanation. Then the captain came back
at Mr.. Massey and demanded the authority
for fixing the responsibility for altering
the order on him. Mr.. Massey referred
Capt Purse to Mr.. Scattergood. the Pos
taTs manager.
This did not satisfy the commissioner of
the Savannah bureau of freight and trans
portation and he wrote back demanding
personal satisfaction of the commissioners
secretary. The reply to this was a very
short decination to make any further
statement about the matter. That letter
should have reached Savannah yesterday

From the Charleston News and Couri,

Speaking of the recent brilliant achieve

Times-Union says: "The Georgia riflemen
have carried away practically every prize
from Sea Grit. According to the report
of a New York paper they made the meet
ing embarrassing by shooting so well that
nobody else had a chance. The troops Of
other southern states ought to send teams
next year to interest the Georgians. Such
teams cannot be got together at a mo-
ments notice but If pains be taken to
discover the best shots we do not doubt
that team about as good as that of
Georgia can be sent from every southern

The Care Of Swine.

Nv N'''' WI
The following notes are taken
from a paper read by J. s, Burns
at IN institute:
The prevalent notion among
farmers that brood SOW should
be kept in low flesh is contrary
to the best experience. Give an
abundance of succulent food.
"Ihc use of corn in the feeding
OF swine has been dropped out
until at present this grain is fed
very little by us except as a fin
ish for pork. Choice would be for
nothing better than roots, milk
and feed. In the absence of past
ure. for a SOW during the period
OF CESSATION, and until the pigs
are six weeks old. except in the
coolest weather. and even then
comfortable quarters are prclera,
ble TO muCn concentrated food
for producing heat.
"When the pigs show dispo-
sition TO eat from the trough one
TO which the SOW cannot have
access should be provided. Now
is the critical period in the pigs
life. II we over iced we impair
digestion. II we stint in feed we
retard growth. If the feed is too
conSupating disease is ready 10
enter. If it is too laxative scours
is produced. These ills may re
suit from careless feeding of the
