A TROUBLED SHERIFF.
Can't Carry Out Governors Order
to Release Convict.

The sheriff of Montgomery county
finds himself in rather troublesome
position. The governor has pardoned,
on the recommendation of the pardon
ing board, a man named Freeman,
who was convicted in that county of a
minor Otfense and sentenced to term
On the chaingang. OF course the gov
ernor notified the sheriff at once to re-
lease the prisoner. The sheriff has not
compiled with the governors order
and consequently the governor has
said some pretty harsh things about the
sheriff, if the veracious news chron-
ioles of the Atlanta newspapers are
to be relied upon. 1t seems, however,
that the sheriff has not Willingly dis
obeyed the governor. The fact is he
is not in position to comply with his
order.
1t seems that the commissioners of
Montgomery county do not operate a
changing of their own, and when
they have prisoner sentenced to the
changing they hire him out to some
one of the many contractors who are
always in search of cheap labor. In
this particular case, according to the
dispatches, the prisoner was hired to
a contractor in Decatur county who
paid $50 to Montgomery county.
What is the sheriff to do? The con-
tractor says he will not release the
III ia pnfnOhph
and the Montgomery county commits
sioners refuse to refund. They take
the position that they have nothing
to do with the governors philanthropy
ic motives in turning loose prisoners
who have been regularly convicted,
and intimate that if the governor is so
much interested In Freeman he ought
to furnish the $50 necessary to secure
his freedom.
The sheriff does not feel like con-
tributing the $50 from his own pocket,
and thus far has shown no inclination
to do so. And as far as we are able to
observe, public sentimentin Montgom-
cry county seems to be with the sher-
if. In the meantime there is much
curiosity to know what the governor
is going to do about it.
MAY ABOLISH CAMP.
Governor Gambler has sent a state
warden to free Convict w. b. Free

county commissioners of Early county
and to Callahan & Co., the less ee', to
appear before the prison commission
on August q aud show cause why the
camp should not be broken up and It's

step in the difficulty between Govern
or Gambler and Sheriff Riggs and Cal
lahan & Co. liz connection with the
detention of Freeman, who was par
doned July LIST and is still restrained
of his liberty. Governor Gambler de-

We shall never know the Everglades
until Flsgler or some other man with
fad undertakes to construct a rail-
road through that mysterious country.
A mere ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS survey
amounts to but little more than a tri-
augulatiOn from high point to high
point. Only the railroad and the canal
open up. The Dismal Swamp in Vir-
GINA was belived to be the abode of
ghosts and COLLINS, fierce monsters
and venomOus reptiles until a canal
was cut through it. The mysterious
Georgia swamp, the Okefenokee, was
regarded as an uninhabitable marsh
until few years ago, when a company
started to drain it. Tradition said that
neither white man nor negro had ever
entered it and come out alive. Now it
promises to be vast area of fine tim
Der and farming land.
