PRISON COMMISSION.

The Georgia Prison Commission
is certainly making some remark
able rulings now adays. We
were told by them not long alter
the passage of the new convict
act that each county would re-
ceive one short term felon tor
road duty for each 100 inhabi-
tants that it possesses. This rule
would give Fulton county with
about 117,000 inhabitants about
100 convicts according to the
statement that they gave out as
to the number that that comfy
would receive. They now declare
that convicts are to be apportion-
ed according to the ratio which
the population of the state bears
to that of any county, but that in
estimating this number the whole
number in the penitentiary, about
2300, is to be taken as the basis
of the calculation, and not the
1853 five-years-and-under convicts
which the law declares shall be
subject to road duty on demand
of the several counties desiring
them. The commissioners them
selves admit that these 1853 con-
victs will be exhausted before all
the counties applying for them
can be reached, but assert, to ex-
cuse themselves, the maxim first
come first served"
The rule which they thus arbi-
trarily lay down, that the appor-
tionment must be upon the basis
of the whole number in the peni-
tertiary, $500, instead of the
number actually contemplated by
the act, is as difficult to under
stand as is TIE one which fixes
the number of convicts for ally
particular county at one for every
100 inhabitants of that county.
In both cases their rule is alto
gether without reason and is abso-
lutely erroneous If it is carried
out Cobb and the other counties
which will not work felony con-
victs on their roads, as we'll as those
counties which apply for them
but do not receive them because
of the number being exhausted be-
fore these counties can be reached,
will lose their share of the school
money arising from the five-year
'convicts, as we'll as the convicts
themselves. Of course this would
be unjust and absurd and will
therefore not be permitted. Even
adopting the commissions last
rule as to the number to be allott-
ed TIC county according to the
rule of proportion, Fulton county
would have, if the whole number
in the penitentiary, $500, is di-
vided, 122 convicts instead of 1906
the number awarded by the COM
mission to that county, according
to the 100 rule at first laid down.

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

John Wannamaker employs an
army of about 5000 clerks; at his
New York establishment perhaps
as many more, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. He was one of the
first in the department;store field,
which now almost dominates mer-
camille trade in the large cities,
He owns that it was advertis-
ing that built him up commerce
ally. He pays:a salary of $40, 900
year to the man who writes his
daily advertisement for the Phila-
delphia store.
He never cuts down his adver-
tising expenses in dull seasons.
rather he increases them. For
according to hir logic, the dull
season is the very time when
trade most needs to be stimulated
by advertising.

Great interest Is manifest in Wash
ington in the possibility of a break in
the Delaware deadlock followed by the
election Of two senators from that State.
The democrats have proposed TO those
republicans who are opposed to the e.
lection of Mr.. Addicks that there shall
be Immediately elected one democrat for
two years and one republican for six
years. The democrats doubtless count
on making sufficient political capital
out Of their contribution to the break
ing of the deadlock to insure their par.

who shall be first chosen. 1t is gener-

democratic offer will be accepted.

Trust legislation received set back
this week from the Attorney General.
The subcommittee of the House charg.
ed with drafting an antitrust measure
prepared its bill and the announcement
was made that it would be reported to
the House on Friday. On Thursday,
however, after securing the approval OF
the President, the authors of the meas
ure called OH the Attorney General and
requested his opinion. Mr.. Knox i'm
medately detected certain features, no.
tably these concerning publicity, which
in his opinion would have resulted in
the measure having been pronounced
unconstitutional by the courts, and as a
result it was determined to Withhold it
for further revision. AS the time of the
Eiity-second Congress Is short anxiety
as to the fate of the measure is increas-
ing.
Senator Hoar and other members OF
the Senate assert their desire to pass an
adequate but conservative trust meas
ure-with special emphasis on the con-
sentative.

Farmers Institute.

The Farmers Institute held here on Fri.
day last, like Its predecessor,was one of more
than ordinary interest and in point of atten-
dance must be recognized as a gratifying
success.
The program as advertised was carried out
in full and was most interesting and instruc-
tive. The several lectures by Messrs Amoss,
Todd and Converse were models of the in
structor's art and besides were exceptionally
entertaining. The State officials expressed
themselves as highly pleased with the inter-
est manifested here on the two occasions on
which Institutes have been held here, and
with good reason, for ct none of them has
the purpose of these meetings been recognize
ed by the agricultural interests more gener-
ally than at this point.
The comments that have been made give
strong evidence of belief in the practical
utility of Farmers Institutes and if they can
be held here at not too remote intervals such
interest and confidence in their practlcability
will not only hold but grow.

session Immediately on conyening to-

that there should be no change in the

the earnest behest of the democrats, a
provision that American cattle shall re-
ceive 40 percent discount from the Gu
ban tariff rates.
The fate of the treaty in the senate
cannot be predicted with certainty
Your correspondent has made careful
canvass of the Senate and believes it
will eventually be ratified. On the 9th.

gard its fate az doubtful and some Of
the democratic senators who are oppos-
ing it assert confidently that it will fail.
The entire influence of the administra-

defeat could not be construed but as a
