A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE sTEED
BILL.

It is thought that the substitute for
the Steed bill, which will be acted upon
/ by the House on Tuesday. stands a
pretty good chance OF meeting the ap-
prevail of that branch of the
| Legislature. This substitute gives
| the counties the right TO use
their short term felony convicts
upon their public roads, fixes an
upset price of $50 a year for each
able bodied convict and prohibits the
sub-leasing of convicts.
1t seems to us that this IS an i'm
provement upon the Steed bill. Any
way. it is a great concession to the
sentiment. now so strong throughout
the state, in favor of improving the
public roads with the labor of the con-
victs. One of the strongest arguments
that has been made against the use Of
the convicts upon the public roads-in
fact about the only arguments that
the money obtained from their hire
couldn't be spared from the school
fund. It is a question whether from
the stand point of education more
would not be accomplished by using
convicts upon the public roads than
by using the money obtained from their
hire for the schools. Good roads would
help the farmers so greatly that they
would be much better able than they
are now to pay tax for school pur-
poses. Besides, good roads would
A. -,
crease the value of them, and would
make such vast changes in the rural
districts that the new condition of af-
fairs would be an education in itself.
And there is another point of view
from which TO look at the matter. Good
roads would bring about very great
increase in taxable values. and a con-
sequent increase in the revenue would
make 1t possible to increase the school
fund from the general fund without
injury to any other interest.
And how much east ar would it be for
cl.!iGren to reach school if the roads
~sre good, particularly if the school
houses were long distances from the

are counties in the northern part of
the state in which there are practical
ly no roads-that is, nothing worthy
Of the name of roads. The people man
age to get from place to place but
travel is accompanied by difficulties
that are almost insurnountable. What
pleasure is there living in communities
where the difficulty of getting fron one
home to another is so great that the
people seldom see anything of each
other? And the same condition pre-
walls. but to less extent, where the
roads are deep in sand or. in wet
weather, in mud. Good roads would
bring people in the rural districts
closer together. Life in the country
would be less lonely, and. hence, the
children of farmers wouldn't be so anx-
ious to leave it for the cities. Let us
begin the work of building good roads
as soon as possible.

WALL STREET NOT A BAROMETER,

1t is generally admitted that Wall
street is no longer a barometer of the
business condition of the country. For
ten months there has been a pretty Sc
we're liquidation going on in that street,
but the effect of 1t hasn't been notice
able in other parts of the country-that
is, the country hasn't been dis
turbed. The factories have been
busy, the great business houses
have had all the business they
could attend to and the railroads have
made exceptionally good earnings.
Even a little panic, such as that by
which Wall street was visited on Fri
day, hasn't a disturbing effect upon
the security market in other cities. The
danger to be apprehended is that the
Wall street disturbances win sooner or
later weaken confidence in the contin-
uance of the existing prosperous con-
ditions. When people begin to think
that hard times are close at hand
there is pretty certain to be trouble in
the business world. Men who have
money will begin to hoard it. Banks
will hesitate 10 loan money except
where they feel sure they can get it
whenever they want it. Loss of con-
fdence means the lack of orders by
the industrial plants. and. consequent
ly. the drying up of business generally.
While, therefore. the troublous times
in Wall street are no indication of
| business conditions in other parts of
the country there is a quite general
anxiety, for the reasons stated, that
the panicky feeling there shall disap
pear as soon as possible. The finan-
cial writers, who take their cues from
the bankers and financiers, have been
saying for several months that bottom
prices had been reached and that the
| liquidation was about over. but it is
evident either that they tried to mis-
| lead the public or else they themselves
were deceived. On Friday the street
came near witnessing another BLACK
| Friday" The houses which suspend
ed were regarded as strong, and the
impression prevailed that one of the
most noted of the operators of the
street was loser to the extent Of sew
eraI millions of dollars.
AS to whether the liquidation that
has been going on is over no one
knows with any degree of certainty
The public no longer has confidence
in what is said and written on that
subject for the reason that there have
been so many statements that the
liquidation was over. The best in
formed business men in various parts
of the country are certain that there
are no signs that Indicate that the
season of prosperity is drawing to a
close. All they are afraid of is that
Wall street troubles will have the ef-
feet of weakening confidence in the
continuance of good times. If that
fear should be realized hard times
might come without good reason for
| them.

That this state is in a prosperous
condition is evident from the digests
of the tax receivers that are now being
sent to the controller. In nearly every
county in the southern part of the
state, in fact. in every county whose
returns we have noticed, there has been
an increase. In some of these South
Georgia counties the increase has been
very great. The report from Atlanta is
that if the counties. to be heard from
report as favorably as those already
heard from the total increase will be
fully 500, 100000 1t will be admitted
that that is substantial showing Of
prosperity. If the increase should
prove to be as much as indicated, and
the state should continue to increase
in wealth at that rate for a few years

The most interesting of current poll
tics is that of the Vatican. Who will
be Pope? is a question of interest
to hundreds of millions of people.
Should it be Rampolla or Gotti, it is
pretty well understood that the policy
of Leo XIII would be followed, but
should it be Oreglia there would be
many changes and a more vigorous
administration of affairs. Leo and his
predecessor, Plus, always considered
themselves prisoners in the hands of
a usurping power. Will the new Pope
take steps for a reconciliation with the
Italian government? The answer to
that question depends on the person
ality of the pontiff-to Some of
the cardinals are said to be in favor
of accepting the present order and rec
ognizing the King as the lawful mon
arch of Italy.

Texas cotton planters, having ex-
hausted the possibilities of every sug-
gestion made for the destruction of
the cotton boil weevil, have concluded
that the only way to get rid Of the
pests is to pick them off by hand. The
new caterpillar, which it was at first
thought was an enemy of the weeviI,
turns out to be no such thing, but an
enemy of the cotton plant, therefore
there is a new pest to be combatted
along with the weevil.

Prof. LangIey's "buzzard" flying ma
chine is to be projected into space
from the TOP of a houseboat upon
which has been constructed a railway
track. The apparatus gets its initial
velocity in a dash along the track
after which 1t is to float away on the
air. But, suppose 1t sails successfully
and alights miles away, how is 1t go
ing to get back to the starting point?
Win it be necessary to follow the
"buzzard" around with houseboats and
railway tracks? How would passengers
be landed from such an air ship, as
Stunning that the ship win be able to
negotiate a circle and fly back to its
houseboat? There may be commercial
possibilities in the invention, but there
are evidently several obstacles yet to
be overcome.

In a recent lecture in Paris M
Charles ROLAND remarked that human
beings in general expend less energy
of motion, especially locomotion, thar
animals. Animals fly, swim, crawl
jump, etc, without the painful an
premiership of men, and the force they
expend relatively to their weight Is
much greater than in our case. IL

spect to their weight, they could lug

posed to movement than other men.
They expend their forces in intellectual
efforts.

the states income from a five-nill tax
would be ample for it's needs.
There is no doubt that the great in
crease in the states wealth, so far as
agricultural interests are concerned. is
going to be in the South and South
west counties. The lands from which
timber has been taken are proving to
be very productive. And it would not
be surprising if these sections should
also give a great deal attention to man
ufacturing. They contain many grow
ing towns and in a number of them
already there are factories of consid-
cradle importance. South and South
west Georgia are going to have a re-
marlkable development within the next
ten years.

TOOK RISK IN COUGHING.
Barber Used to Shaving Colorado Con.
sumptives Always Gave
Warming.

The man in the chair coughed suddenly
and unexpectedly. states the Philadelphia
Record, Don't do that again." exclaimed
the barber, with an unwarranted display Of
irritation. The man in the chair resented
IN somewhat lurid language this restriction
OF his personal liberty and intimated that
ne would cough whenever he felt like It.
All right, then, cough your head off, but
don't blame me if l cut you," returned the
barber. There was no more coughing, how
ever, and the man in the chair made his
escape without any injury. But, as he paid
his check at the desk, he remarked to the
boss barber:
Say, you want to give some nerve tonic
to the fellow who just shaved me-"
oh. don't mind him." replied the boss.
Hes from Colorado and he's used to shaw.
ing consumptives.. He was telling me the
other day that he's been in the business for
over 20 years and has shaved everything
from a l6-year.old boy to an octogenarian
drunkard, but his nerve went back on him
When he drifted into Colorado Springs and
started to shave the consumptives who hang
out there. Ever since then a man with a
cough gives him cold chills. Out there, he
tells me, not a day goesby that some Hunger
doesn't get a cash in his throat while being
shaved"
