TUESDAY,

Judge Springer indicated by
statements from the bench this
morning the position of the courts
upon a subject of prime import
ance to the people of the Chero-
kee nation. The utterances of the
court bad reference to the validity
of title conveyed to improvements
on the public domain ofthe Chero-
kee nation known as intruder
places that have been seized and
sold at public sale by the district
sheriifs of the Cherokee nation.
The court held that the mere set
ting forth of the facts that the
sheriff had properly advertised
and conducted the sale according
to law was sufficient to make a
prima facia case for suit in eject
ment. This practically sustains
the Cherokee nation, and makes
valid the sales of such places ac-
cording to Cherokee laws. The
Cherokee laws are to be simply
pleaded as facts in the case and are
to be enforced in the sense that
statutory laws Of the United States
are enforced. As to the apparent
inconsistency of rulings of the
courts upon this class of cases
Judge Springer said that courts
were not infallible, and that the
court that was not willing to reverse
itself when in error was an ass.

provements belonging to the Dan
Bachtei estate this morning. W.

longing to the estate had been or
dered sold, and the sale had been

March. The sale is held up till

The Georgia Convict System.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, March 31.-Ihe
twenty-year convict lease, out of which
have grown so many Investigations, SO
many scandals and so much alleged
cruelty, expired tonight at midnight
and the lessees who have enjoyed the
profit Of the felon's toll for twenty
years, gave up the convicts, the con
tract between the contractors and the
State terminating. For the past twen-
ty years The lessees have had the keep
ing of convicts and were permitted to
administer punishment. Under thenew
arrangements. which We're ordered by
the last Legislature, convicts will be
leased for tive-year terms only, and the
State will clothe, feed and guard them.
1t is estimated that there are now in
the State penitentiaries about twenty
four hundred convicts, aud they hfe
to be distributed among 18 contractors
who recently mnJc bids for the labor
of the felons. The transfer OF the con-
victs from the Gifferentcamps will re-
ouirc 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 convlctS back
again,
price paid by the contractors for the
labor of the conyicts will average S14
head pei month. The old system gave
the State stipulated amount fixed at
5000, but the actual profit never
amounted to more than $4,000.
With the new system in operations.
the State will make clear annually
100000, OF an increase OF SI3;,ooO over
former years. In addition to this profit
the prison commissioners are confident
that the operation Of the prison farm
at tNlilledgevillc will bea source OF con-
siderable revenue to Georgia.
The members of the prison. commits
sion have lad Il difficult task to per-
form III assigning the two Thousand
odd convicts in the pcnitentiary camps
to the INSTRUMENTATION in the State.
The work OF the commission has not
been completed and many fthc trans
fcrs to be made III the next few days
will be personally supervised by them.
1t was feared that if amy change was
made in the guards at the various
camps and inexperienced men placed
in charge before the cOnvicts were eN-
changed that serious difficulty might
result. 1t was also feared in some
quarters that when the old guards re-
allied that they were to be superseded
by new appointccs they would become
lax in their control OF the convlcts and
give some OF them an opportunity to
make their escape.

ingly of it, and should consume more
lean. The egg is a wonderfully per
feet food, containing all the chemical
clements needed to sustain the body,
except the carbohydrates. A meal of
soft boiled eggs and rice is most
evenly balanced. The egg contains
the needed fat, PHOSPHORUS and nitro
gen, and the rice possesses starch and
sugar. AS fact, however, man feeds
himself largely according to his taste
and ability. His mental attitude to-
ward his food has everything to do
with his power to digest it, and if he
does not like it, the probability is
that it will not do him any good, no
matter how we'll balanced it may be.
''Meat should be kept three weeks
before eaten. It should be properly
ripened, and then there would be no
danger from diseased meat. Hang a
killed chicken out of a window, as the
Germans do, head down, and when
the head falls off the fowl is ripe for
eating. It should not be touched be-
fore. Fish and eggs should be eaten
the day they are taken, but fish, if
frozen on the day caught, will be good
any time taken from the ice. Fish is
not brain food. That's an old idea,
all wrong. The phosphorus needed
by the brain comes from vegetables,
eggs and plants.

A Plea for Neal.

Col. j. d. NJ. Shaw, Of L;llrens
give the net earnings of the peniten-
tiary under the three last Superintcnd-
ents, LipscOmb, Talbert and Ne. He
goes on to say:
81 am truly sorry Col. Neal is short.
Neal is a good, kind man, the finest
manager OF cOnvlcts ever saw; has
made great progress in not making the
convicts wear shacklcs could do more
work. think it is generally conceded
that South Carolina has the best man.
aged penitentiary in the South. Neal
has done great good for this State. Go
and inspect the State farms as have
done and the newspapers might put
some good along with the bad.''
We are not able to give Col. Shaw
the information he asks; for we have
not the records nor the time to find and
search them. Moreover, the net earn
ings OF the penitentiary in former adj
ministrations have nothing to do with
the case. The question is not the
amount Of money which has been pald
into the treasury but the amount which
has been wasted OF misappropriated
and not so much the amount as the fact
of misappropriation.
We freely concedc that in various
ways Col. Neal has shown himself Il
good manager, and that he has been
humane to the convicts. For several
years there has been no scandal con-
nccted with their treatment, which is a
great gain. For these things we have
given him credit in the past, and we
have nothing now to unsay as to them.
We think also that in several matters
of politics and government he has
lattcrly 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
wise. as he may receive. Let him suf-
fer for his own sins and they for theirs.
We should have no scapegoats.-Ihe
State.

Birds and Dogs for Market.


tions entered upon by woman is the
raising and training of native song
birds. Miss Louise Cheatam lives
near the popular winter resort Of
Aiken, S. c., and the idea was sug-
gested by the sale Of pet mocking
bird. This bird came to her through
a negro boy whom she caught rabbing
the parent nest. The fedgling was
the weakling Of the flock, and for that
reason the boy considered it worthless
! and left it on the ground to die. Miss
Cheatam rescued and raised it, in
tending to free the little captive when
it could care for itself. But that time
never came, for no pet is more help
less than a mocking bird reared in
captivity.
The second winter Of the bird life
it was purchased by Northern visitor
to Aiken, who, CHANGING to pass the
house, heard 1t singing. This sale
gave the young woman an idea which
she was not slow TO follow, and now
she does a thriving business with
native song birds of the South. Miss
Cheatam watching her chance, goes to
the spot where the parent birds have
made their homes and lifts the nests,
with their young broods, off. This is
the best and most humane method
especially with the mocking birds. for
if a human hand once enters their
nest the parent bird will kill every re-
naming fcdgling, and, according to
Miss Cheatam, her greatest enemies
are these same parent birds, for they
try in every way to poison a bird which
they find Gagged.
Beagle raising is the means by which
Miss Asch earns good living. Her
home is also near Aiken, and her work
began by the sale Of pet dog. One
Of the favorite amusements of the
winter visitors to Aiken is rabbit
coursing, and the best dog for the
purpose is the beagle. AS both the
game and the dogs are small, the
hunters, men and women, follow on
foot, and as rule end their chase by
brekfast or luncheon at some
picturesque spot in the woods. 1t
was to one Of these hunters that Miss
Asch sold her first dog, and the price
paid was s35. She had kennels built
and invested her little capital in dogs.
Now she has thriving business,
which not only pays we'll, but is both
healthful and pleasant, since she is
fond Of dogs and outdoor exercise.
Another Southern woman, Miss Ida
Norrell, near Augusta, Ga., is earning
fair living by distilling cape jas
mines. The process is her own dis
coyery, and still secret. She has
refused good offers for her recipe.
The cape jasmine, as every one who
has visited the South knows, is easily
|
grown and blossoms in the greatest
profusion. Miss Norrcll, therefore,
has no difficulty in getting all the
flowers she can use The result Of
her distilling is delicious perfume,
but she claims that at present the
supply equals the demand, and it is
unnecessary to publish her formula. u
