The Botnnist.
He does not own a single rood.
And yet his are the fields and fens,
The wooded heights. the messy glens,
Where nature has her gems bestrewed.
No trespass warning says himnay;
lie climbs the fence, he leaps the wall:
Unstartled are the deer, and call
The birds a welcome on his way.
Bestowed on him is.many kiss
BY gentle breeze and fervent sun:
And doors subtly sweet are won,
That the ungifted ever miss.
In bud, In fragile fern and flower.
Not beauty only he discerns;
The proof Jehovah Is he learns
From these examples of His power.

Successful Inauguration OF
State Control Of Its
Convicts.
Daily Picsyune,


The State Constitution of 1898
put a stop to the leasing out of
the penitentiary convicts after the
close of the existing contracts un-
der which they bad been hired out
to private contractors.
Under the laws made in confor-
nifty with the Constitutional re-
quifements, the State convicts
are held wholly under the control
of the State, and these Laws went
into operation about year ago.
The Board of Psnitsntiary Com
missiondfs bought lands and erect
ed appropriate buildings for the
housing and care of those CON-
v1cts who work outside the prison
walls, and numbers IT the able
bodied prisoners were sJt to work
at raising cotton, corn. other food
crops, beef cattle and hogs for the
support Of the persons now under
going confinement and hard labor
for their crimes.
The LegisIat6re placed at Che
orders Of the board 100000 for
the inauguration Of the new sys-

denced by the great decrease in
the mortality of the prisoners.
In addition to the farm work
some Of the abls-bodied men are

is now free from the reproach put
upon her by the Federal military
authorities, who, when they had

system of hiring out the convicts
to private parties who were the
highest bidders.

FOR BETTERMENT
STATE MILITARY.
Several Companies May Be Disbanded
Soon.
VIGOROUS ACTION IS PROPOSED.
Where Interest Is Not Manifested in
Company Affairs Such Commands
NAV Be Disbanded. Col Willy
Recommends This Action

Military men in Americus and
throughout the state will be interested
in the result of a recommendation just
made the Adjutant General by Colonel
Wylly, commanding the First Regi-
ment, looking to the disbanding OF
companies not coming up fully to the
required standard. The companies at
Statesboro, Sylvania and Brunswick
appear to be under the ban and must
do better or quit the service If COL
WHY'S recommendation is accepted.
Reports from many of the companies
throughout the state shows apathy,
and it is not improbable that there
would be a number of them disbanded
were their regimsntal commanders to
decide upon the same course as that
which is to be followed by Col.
WyIly. The wedding out of the COM
panies in which no adequate interest is
manifested would mean the improve
ment of the others, for the reason that
the fund received from the govern
ment and the states appropriation
would be subjected to shorter division
and would tend to the betterment of
| the troops.

COUNTIES STILL
SELLING LIQUOR.
Half Hundred In Georgia Still Deal
Booze.
IN BARRooMs OR A D1sPENsARY.
Sumter Will Probably Vote Upon the
Question Again in August. Names
of the Counties Having Open Bar
rooms or the Dispensarles.

The fact that Sumter county will, in
all probability, vote again in August
upon the prohibition question renders
interesting the names of the half hun
dred counties in Georgia in which
liquor is still sold, either in saloons or
dispensaries. There are eighty-seven
dry ones,
Sumter, for the past three years, has
been in the dry class, barring the oper-
alton of blind tigers here.
There are twenty eight wet counties
in the state of Georgia. These are
counties in which liquor can be sold
outright in open saloons. There are
twenty two counties in which liquor
is or can be sold in dispensaries.
In nearly all of these twenty-five dis
pensary counties whisky is being sold
in dispeDsaries.
The counties in which dispensaries
are or can be operated are as follows
Calhoun, Carroll, Clarke, Clay, Coffee,
Dodge, Early, Lee, Madison, Marion,
Monroe, Pike, Pu laski, Quitman, Ran
dolph, Stewart, Terrell, Troup, Twiggs,
Webster and Wilkes including Floyd
twenty-five.
An anomalous condition exists in
Lee. In that county whisky is sold in
one town in an ropen barroom and in
another in dispensarv.
1heqcounties in which whisky is now
sold are Baker, Baldwin, Bibb, Cam
dem, Catoosa, Chattooga, Colquitt
Dade, Decatur, Dougherty, Floyd
Fulton, GIynn, Irwin, Laurens,
Lowndee, Macon, Mcintosh, Miller,
Muscogee, Pickens. Rabun, Richmond
Spalding, Taliaferro, Epson, Wilco2
and Worth
Thus it will be seen that there are
twenty eight wet and twenty-five dis
pensary counties, making total OF
fifty wet counties and leaving eighty
seven absolute dry counties in The
state.
