n ost of the counties in the State and have
had opportunities of discussing it's workings
with great many persons representing every
section of the State, and the general eonclu-
sioa Of opinion, OF those in position TO
know, is that the chain gangs, measured by
dollars and cents, are failure-io other
words, they cost more than they are worth.
l have naught to say against the cham gang.
1t is great deterrer OF crime, and should be
maintained and operated by short term GRIM
ina!s, regardless of cost, but the proposition,
az laid down by the last legislature, to allow
the different counties to hire from the peni-
tertiary able bodied convicts at 81 per month
to work on the public highways, is founded
on the wrong principle, and believe, wher.
ever tried, will prove disastrous to the coun-
ty trying it. If the issue was made, clear cut
in every county in the State, to go 10 the
pepitentiary and hire SO able bodied convlets
on the terms named 10 the act. and tax the
people of that county SIS, 900 to pay for them,
which would be az small amount as they
could be maintained on, believe any candi-
date advocating such scheme would De re.
pudiated by the people and would stand no
chow of electioa. l will say, Mr. Editor,
that am heartily favor of good roads. /
belleve it is the comiog question and deserves
careful consideration from all good citizens
who have the interest and welfare of their
cocatry at heart, but We Deed never hope to
bave good roads without having to tax our
selves to pay for them. That is cure and GER
tain whether worked by convicts or not.
Those of Us who will live to see the pe1t 20
years will see revolution in road workicg,
fo. the matter has already taken root and is
spreading not only in this State, but all over
the united States. Respectfully,
A. K. Sanders.

Executive Committees Report.
The executive committee presented a
general I financial statement at the begin
ming of its report The total receipts
for the year were SAC, ,963.37, with bal
ance on hand of s16,243.23, making a
grand total Of s63, l06.60. The expend-
itures for the year were $50, ,504. l6, leav-
ing balance of $l2,602:44. Continuing
the report shows that Is buildings We're
erected during the year, and that by the
employment of 11S ministers and one
candidate over 260 churches and over 80
missionary outposts, making at least $40
points, We're supplied with tie preach
ing of the word Thirty eight of the
churches thus supplied are in Florida;
the remainder, except three, are west OF
the Mississippi river.
The report shows q defclt In the IN
valid fund for infrm ministers and fam
lies Of deceased ministers, and request
is made that it be increased to $4,000,
in order to meet the rapidly increasing
demands.
The total amount appropriated to the
benevolent work Of the year was S10,-
937.35, or about 1900 in excess Of col
lections. The present plans Of work will
demand an appropriation considerably
beyond this during the current year.
The treasurer's report showed net as
sets of $l16, 942.3 SO.
The report of the committee on educa-
ton for the ministry was presented. It
shows a slight decrease in the enroll

"The need is felt of the enactment OF

THE PRESBYTERIAN
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Day Was Given Over Mostly
to Routine Business.
MANY REPORTS HEARD

Executive Committee Makes Its An
nual Exhibit-Riehts Of individuals
Defined-Question of Remarriage OF
Divorcees-Other Business.
ATLANTA, May 21.-The third days
session Of the Presbyterian general as
sembly was given largely to routine
business.
A telegram was read from the Cum
berland presbytery in session at Chatta-
nooga reciprocating the sentiments ex-
pressed in the greeting sent them by the
southern general assembly.
The reading of an overture from an
individual on the twentieth century fund
raised the point of order as to whether
individuals have the right to memorial
ize the assembly. The chair was not
familiar with the law on the subject and
asked for expressions Of opinion. DR..
G. w. Finley responded that for the
fourth time he was called upon to assert
the inalienable right of any individual
member of the church to petition the as
sembly. The question had been settled
90 years ago, and this had been the
practice of the assembly since. There
was no further discussion and the chair
sustained DR.. Finley's position.
The treasurer's report showed that 1t
would be necessary to draw upon the
revenues Of next year to the extent OF
about 5000 to meet the expenses OF the
current year. This was due largely to
the extra expense incurred for editorial
work on the hymn book. The treas
urer recommended that expense on this
account be charged against the hymn
book to be met from funds derived from
the sale, relieving the assembly Of this
extra burden.
DR.. j. w. Walden of Athens, Ga, for
the committee on revision of the hymn
book, read comprehensive report and
submitted the text of psalms and hymns
which have been selected for the new
book. Copies Of the text were distrlb.
uted among the commissioners. The
report was referred to special COM
mittee.
DR.. j. G. Finley read lengthy report
from the committee appointed to attend
the Evangelical Alliance, held in Wash.
ington in September, 1899, The com
mittee strongly indorsed the work OF
the alliance.

That branch had acted in the Kentucky
case when the general assembly took ju-
risdiction. There was no appeal from
the asse1nbly's decision, which was ia.
vorable to Goebel and Beckham, except
to the tribunal of the people, which tn
bunal the chief justice said, was always
in session. He also said the case was
purely state case-that Kentucky was
IN the full possession of its facualties as
a member of the Union aud that theri
was no emergency at this time calling
for interference.
The opinion was not unanimous, Jus
