LOCKED HORNS WIN THE GOVERNOR.

The convict horrors so graphically
described by Governor Atkinson's
Special Commissioner Byrd, which are
still fresh in the minds of the people,
seem to have fallen upon unheeding
ears. The joint penitentiary commit
tee has knocked the Hall bill, which
was intended to reorganIze Georgia's
penal system, and which had the APP.
proyql of the governor, to pieces, and
practically nothing is left of it.
The bill which the full committee
has agreed to report to the legislature
provides for leasing the cOnyicts to the
highest bidder for a term of five years,
and for putting the incapables, the
women and tie boys and girls, on land
owned by the state near Milledgeville,
where they will be employed in raising
grain and vegetables for the different
state institutions. Another reform in
which the governor seems deeply in
terested was unceremOniously killed by
voting out the section providing for
state inspection of misdemeanOr con-
yict camps. This leaves the legisla-
ture in conflict with the governor, and
deadlock between them seems immi-
nent.
The Legislature is not going to worry
itself in trying to find the necessary
money to establish the conyicts on an
island eFon farm. 1t Is going to
have some trouble in finding sufficient
revenue to meet the demands upon the
state without increasing the tax rate,
which already seems higher than it
ought to be.

TALK ABOUT sENA TOR STEVENS.

Fit. Gaines Sentinel: Hon. 0. B. Stew.
ems of Terrell will be in the race for COM
missioner of agriculture. Mr.. Stevens
has been engaged IN farming all his life.
and being thus identified with the inter
ests of the farmers his practical expert
ence and sympathies render him pecul-
iarly fitted to administer the affairs of
that office in a manner Just and satisfac-
tory to those most concerned. He is a
democrat who, having been weighed in
the balance, was found not wanting, such
as all loyal adherents of that party de-
light to honor.
Henry County Weekly: Hon. O. B.
Stevens of Terrell county is announced
as a candidate for commissioner of agri-
culture. Mr.. Stevens Is a large, success
full farmer and with hosts of friends all
over the state will make strong race.
Besides, the fact that lower Georgia
has been too long unrepresented on
the state ticket will work greatly in his
favor.
cambridge Democrat: We heartily
endorse Mr.. Stevens candidacy and will
gladly do what we can to help him in
the nomination and the electi n. He is
successful farmer, practical business
man, legislator OF considerable expert
ence (now state senatOr) and thor
ough democrat without prefix.
Cuthbert Liberal: Hon. O. B. Stevens,
state senator from this district, has re
ceived many letters from all parts Of the
state urging HIM to run for state COM
missioner of agriculture. Nj. Stevens is
well known throughout the state, he is
a popular citizen with scores of friends,
and would make a strong race and stub
born fight against any candidates that he
might oppose.
Blakely Observer: Every time the
Hon. 0. b. Stevens name is mentioned
in connection with the COmmisSionership
of agriculture there are scores of vot-
ers who feel like pitching up their hats
and shouting, "Rah for Stevens" This
scribe will be IN the push from start
to finish.
Rome Hustler: With all due respect
etc, and &C., change in the state tag
ricultural department is needed. O. b.
Stevens, of the second congressional
district, has some fine vouchers.
Hawknsville News: Senate" o. b.
Stevens of Dawson, practical farmer
and man Of fine sense, is squarely
in the race for commissioner of agricult.

THE GOVERNOR WAS SENSATIONAL,
Some Passages from His Message to the
General Assembly.

Some Passages from HIS Message TO the
General Assembly.
Below The News presents briet eX-
tracts from the message OF governor
Atkinson to the legislature.
The message is devoted principally to
crime and criminals, and in it is ser
sational arraignment of lynch law.
The governor states positively that in
nocent men have been lynched during
his administration, and as one of tina
remedies for mob violence asserts that Z
prisoner when assaIled by a mob should
be given a weapon by the officer in
charge, be unshackled and be allowed to
defend himself.
The governors comments are at con-
siderable length and are extremely strIk-
ing. He says that any woman can have
man murdered by mob by simply de-
claring that he assaulted her and that
under mon rude life cannot be safe. He
makes strong plea for law and order
and asks for the passage of an act under
which counties may be sued and Yerdicts
of not less than 81 1000 be obtained by
the heirs Of any man killed by a mob.
81 feel the more deeply upon this
question:" he says, "Decause from the
best information can secure | believe
thai during my administration there
have been in this state several men lynch
ed who were not guilty of the crimes
with which they were charged"
The arrestng officer is now clothed
with authority to take the life Of the as
sailants when resisting their efforts to
take prisoner from his custody, and it
is his duty to take life if necessary to
protect prisoner and retain him IN his
custody. This he should be required to
do at the hazard Of his own lie, or the
prisoner should be unshackled, armed
and given chance to defend himself.
The knowledge on the part of the mob
that this would be done would deter it
from pursuing its lawless purpose, and
the law would be permitted to protect
the innocent and punish the guilty"
The message so far as it relates t. the
convict question holds that the INSIDE
meanOr convicts should remain Inder
the control of the counties and that the
camps should be regularly inspected by
an officer of the state.
He opposes working convicts on the
public roads.
