SUGGESTIONS FROM
OUR CORRESPONDENTS

the state should use the convicts.
Another reason is, it will keep their la
Dor from being brought in competition
with free labor; another, if they are used
for several years building railroads in
stead of $4,000 annually for education.
the rental or net proceeds of these roads
will be over 100000 per month and this
amount would do some good and would
supply the schools. Ninety thousand doll
lars would not run the schools of Georgia.
a week.
Again; there would be little or no cause
for inhuman treatment.
Again; it would stop traffcking in them
and the state would get all the benefit
of their work
I don't reckon there was anything
wrong though in private parties making
$4,000 per month out of the convicts, as
our governor placed the seal of hts appro-
baton upon it by giving the highest Office
in his gift to the parties
Now since none of our representatives
can possibly be Influenced by three
or four passes and as the railroads are
the only parties that will be affected by
the state building railroads with her con-
victs, I viii naturally expect some oppo-
sition to Mr.. Felder's bill
By the by, how would 1t do for those
that accept free passes and vote to COM
tinue the practice let the railroads coli
lect their mileage or else let the state
keep it. I think it would look better L
do not approve Of getting pay twice for
the same thing.
was very much impressed with the
wisdom of some of our representatives as
displayed in the amendments to Mr.. Halls
free pass bill. J. H MADDOX.

AN OLD SOLDIER WRITES
ABOUT INDECENT PENSIONS
To the Editor Of The Journal:

To the Editor of The Journal:
As much is being said on the question:
of pensions, wish to make few SUCCESS
tons.
In the first place, the legislature ought
to define the word INDECENT" as applied
to INDECENT pensioners.
AS construed by the commissioner and
the governor, if an old veteran is pos
sessed of worldly effects, including his
household plumber, and everything else,
of more than sixty dollars in value he
cannot get a pension, although he is total
ly unable to work at all, and although he
was in the front rank with Lee, Jackson,
Longstreet or Wheeler, covered with hons
orable scars, and regretfully and reluct-
antly laid down his musket at Appomat-
tox or Greensboro. He is simply guilty OF
falling TO get disabled while in line OF
duty" though he was there-ready to be
sacrificed on his country's altar.
Is it right for him to have to support
himself, pay his Doctors bill, and buy his
medicines. and little luxuries on sixty
dollars a year?
He was promised when he left for the
front that when he returned the fiat OF
the land would be his.
Sixty dollarsl Think of It! One hundred
would furnish him but a scant existence,
not a support. Suppose he has $500. he
must sell that to live on, and 1t viii still
lack So.
He must either do without 1t, or kind.
hearted people must help hir-a.
Ny idea is that he should be the ward
of the state and that he should be well
cared for by appropriation from the state
treasury, and then the burden would fall
on all, and not on the charitably inclined.
INDECENT, as here used, should apply to
every soldier, otherwise entitled, whose
property at a fair valuation does not ex-
coed in value 500.
It would take 20 per cent of this amount
to make enough to support him.
Suppose he can earn by his labor one-
third of this. Then let him have property
worth $500 and give him a pension. He
will not be with us long. am an old
soldier, but I am not entitled to invalid
or INDECENT pension, and would not be
with the changes suggested but know
several poor old veterans-wearers Of the
Gross of Honor"-who would be.

YOUNG ROOSEVELT CAST
GLOOM ON STATE DINNER
Quentin Turned OFF the Lights In Din
ing Room During Banquet.
eW York World.

new 1OTk WOTlQ.
Little Quentin Roosevelt lent piQuancy
to the state dinner of farewell to Jules
Cambon, the French ambassador, last
night. The youngster discovered
the switch controlling the electric
lights of the state dining room, and turn
ed il on and off, to the CONSERVATION of
the guests, who were at times in utter
darkness and again in the full blaze of the
chandeliers.
Quentin was blissfully unconscious that
he was interfering with his fathers din
ner party. He was watching the effect of
his experiments on the great brass can
delabra, surrounded by opalescent glass,
which lights the. magnificent front portico.
1t was great fun for him to see this blaze
fade and reappear at his will, and like
any boy of an investigating turn of mind
he took full advantage of his opportuni-
ties.
Attendants hurried around to find the
cause of the alternate darkness and
light until one of them happened to no
tice the turned switch, History does
not as yet record whether young Quentin
made the acquaintance of any more
switches, but while the game lasted he
had great sport.

WANTS Convict LEASE
SYSTEM ABOLISHED
GREENSBORO. Ga, Nov. 20. 1s

GREENSBORO Ga, NOV ~, 4Su-.
To The Editor of The Journal
Sir: see through your columns that
Mr.. Felder's convict bill seems to meet
the appreciation of every one that has
spoken on the subject. 1 wish, through,
your paper to enter my protest to any
bill that contemplates the lease Of the
convicts, and will give my reasons.
In the first place, I want them used to
the best advantage to the state and at the
same time remove as far as possible all
cause for inhuman treatment. Now, let
the state take these convicts and go
to building railroads with them. Several
of our wise men have said if the carshed
in Atlanta is built on any other than the
states property it would bottle up the
states property and greatly depreciate its
value. Ex-Governor Gambler says the only
hope is for the state to build the state
road through to the coast.
This seems to be a good reason why

Founder In Horse.

have horse years old. He was three
years ago "foundered," and has very ten
der feet. would be thankful if you could
give me information how to cure him
through The Semi-Weelxly Journal.
Answer-founder is Inflammation of the
sensitive laminae of the foot of which
there are two kinds, acute and chronic,
the latter being a continuation of the
former. The disease in the case of your
animal has become chronic and is rarely
ever cured. When first attacked the
horse could have been permanently cured
by adopting prompt treatment.
You may now possibly relieve the trou-
BILE to a great extent by softening the
hoof by oiling well with castor oil, and
keeping the hoof well oiled on the bottom
and sides up to the skin. In having the
horse shod, place a piece of sole leather
between the shoe and hoof which will
cover the bottom of the foot and drive
the nails through the leather so as to
hold IL in place, and then place cotton
batting saturated with tar under the
leather, so as to soften up the bottom Of
the hoof
You might also apply cloths dipped into
ice water and wrap around the hoof. Keep
the stall well supplied with an abundance
of straw or saw dust. Do not let the
horse stand on hard ground. Give plenty
of cold water to drink and feed on soft
mash or hay.

ANTI FREE-PAsS LAW

We notice in the discussion of the free

reflection on the honor of a legislator. Let
that be as it may. AS Mr.. Hall, Of Bibb,

eventually will have it, The people do
want it, and will have it.
They are tired of paying three times as
much as the railroad tickets are worth

where / can buy some Georgia millet
seed, and also how much is required to
plant one acre, or how much seed per
acre? 1 will also be pleased to have you
tell me where I can buy barley for seed.
Answer-All seed stores handle both
German millet and barley. You can order
what you want through your local mer-
chant, or write to Hastings & Co., seed

Co., at Augusta, Ga. Broadcast German
millet at the rate of three peclxs per acre
on ordinary land. Sow one-half bushel
