Bill Blue in Limbo.

1t seems almost impossible for Bill
Blue to avoid trouble when he comes
to town. Yesterday he spent the day
at Dam No. 4 fishing, and he brought
his fish to Shepherdstown and sold
them. With the lucre thus obtained
he got full right away, and in his ez-
cess of good spirits be proceeded to
knock Richard Kimler into the gutter.
Bill also used language not permitted
by the law, and Sergeant Maddox
gathered him in. He was taken be-
fore Mayor Harrison, who imposed a
fine. Bill didn't have enough money
left to square accounts, and at this
writing he is languishing in jail.

Rohrersville thousand acres or more
were swept by the fires, destroying
much valuable timber. The mountains
near Middletown were also afrs. The
first of this week fire was started IN
Maryland Heights, opposite Harper S
Ferry, and it made beautiful specta-
Gle from this place. There were 9TH
er fires in the mountains further south.

The Georgia Convict System.

ATLANTA. GEORGIA, March 3l.-Thc
twenty-ycar convict lease. out of which
have grown so many Investigations, ss.
many scandals and so much alleged
cruelty, expired tonight ut midnight
and the ltssccs who have enjoyed the
oft of the frlOn's toll for twenty
years, gave up the c0nvicts, the con
tract between the contractors and the
State terminating. For the past twcn-
ty years the lrsscrs luvc had the keep
ing OF cOnvicts and were permitted to
! administer punishment. Under The new
arrangements. which were ordered by
the last Legislature, tonvicis will be
leased for tivc-ycar terms only, and the
State will clOthc. feed and guard them.
II Is estimated that there nrc now in
the State pcnitcntiarics about twenty
four hundred ronvictS. nnd they are
to be distributed among IL contractors
who recently mnslc bids for The labor
of the fcl"ns. The transfer of the con
vict> trm the different camps will re-
uuirc considerable time and many
transfer guards. and will begin to-mor-
row. Some of the camps under the old
lease have given up all convict labor.
and will hereafter employ free labor
other camps will get the c0nvicts back
again.
Under the new system Of leasing the
price paid by thc contractors for the
labor of the cOlvicts Will average S14 a
head per month. The old system gave
the State Il stipulated amount fixed at
S21,000, but the actual profit never
amounted to more than &17.OOO.
With the new system in operation,
the State will make clear annually
Slm.000, or an increase of S1l,000 over
former years. In addition to this profit
the prison commissioners are confident
that The operation of the prison farm
ut Millclgrvillr will be IL source of con
siderable revenue to Georgia.
'Tiia. members OF the prison cDniini>-
sion have hid Il difficult task 10 per
form in assigning the two thousand
| odd convirtS in the pcntcntiary camps
to the different contractors in the State
The work of the commission has not
been completed and many of The trans
terS to br made IN the next few days
will be personally supervised by them
II was feared that ii any change was
made in the guards ut the various
camps and inexperienced men placed
i'll charge before the cOnvictS were eX-
changed that serious difficulty might
result. 1t w;lS also feared in some
quarters that when the old guards re-
allied that they were to he superseded
by new appOintcrs they would become
lax i'll their control of the cOnvicts and
give sonic of them an opportunity to
make their escape.

goes on to say:

we freely c0ncedc that in various

years there has been no scandal con

great gain. For these things we have
given him credit in the past, and we
have nothing now to llns;iy us to them.
We think also that in several matters
OF politics and government he has
lntterly aimed at ends which were good
for the State. For these reasons we,
like Col. Shaw, were sorry for his
shortage. But the good he may have
done or attempted in other directions
cannot excuse his conduct in financial
matters. That stands apart and is to
be Judged apart from everything else.
Others are as guilty as he, but he is
wrecked while they are not. This
doesn't seem right yet the solution is
not to excuse him but rather to give
them such punishment. moral or other
