Joke OF WISE PUT HIM WISER
II Was a Letter That Never Came 10
Miss Mary, and Now United States
Court is Taking Hand.

It's a sorry joke to monkey with
Uncle Sam mail.
It's all right enough to joke with
some things, but it's mighty serious
business to Joke with the q. 5. Mail
That this is true Postmaster James
D. Wise of Pickren, Ca, learned to
his sorrow, and now he is sadder
though wiser than he was before
Wise had friend, Hiram Taylor by
name. who was engaged in the pleasant
pastime, of corresponding with his best
girl. Miss Mary J. Odom OF BroXton'
Ga.
From evidence introduced before a
United States commissioner it appears
Postmaster Wise thought it not wise
for Hiram to keep up the correspond
ence any longer, so merely as a Joke
he intercepted a letter mailed by
Hiram and it was a case OF the leUtef
that never came to Miss Mary.
Hiram got wise and put the post
Office inspectors on to Wise, with the
result that he was soon pinched ana
is now held for the federal grand Jafy
in the sum of $500.
The Joking postmaster said after ne
intercepted the letter he sent 1t PACK
to Hiram, but Hiram said he never got

and erecting buildings, and let as
MANY convicts as are needed to cult
waite it be placed upon it. Let this
method be pursued every year until
ali of the convicts are on state farms.
Inside of five years all of the convlcts
would be on land owned by the state
and would be returning to the state
annually great deal more than the
atate is now getting. Besides, the value
Of The land would increase steadily.
It must not be forgotten that the
convicts on the penitentiary farm al
Milledgeville are women, children ana
cripples. Far better results would be
obtained from able-bodied men with
GOOD business man and thorough-go-
mo farmer at the head of the under
taking. Results would be obtained
that would be startling. 1t seems TO
us that this is a matter that should re-
ceive the earnest consideration OF the
people all over the state, and II they
think we'll of it they should send men
to the legislature that would see 10 IL
that the Mississippi plan for caring
for convicts was adopted II IS the
best plan that has yet been DEVISED
and is certain to meet the approVai OF
all fair-minded GeOrgians.

1888 STATE PENSIONERS
Nearly a Million Of Dollars Will Be
Paid TO the Old Soldiers OF
Georuia Next Year.

Commissioner of Pensions j. W..
Lindsey has completed his preliminary
report to Gov. Terrell upon the pen
sion rolls of 1906, showing that there
will be a deficit of $19, $50 in the pen
sion fund for next year.
Commissioners Lindsey has approved
some /, 1926 applications for 1906, while
last wears rolls will be decreased by
deaths only 1,O21, leaving a net in
crease over last year of 34l new pen
siOners.
The total numbers on the pension
rolls for 1906 will be 1898, and the
total amount to be paid out will be
S9O9. 500. to meet which the legislature
appropriated $4,000
This deficit will not, however, be as
large as that of last year, when the
legislature had to appropriate SILL oo0
To meet the deficit. 1t is said II 1t had
not been for the more liberal pension
laws passed at the recent session, OF
the legislature, particularly the law
giving every Georgia soldier ana
widow pension regardless OF the
time of residence within the state,
there would have been practically no
increase in this years pension rolls
over those of last. The payment OF
pensions on the new rolls will begin
in January.

SIX MILLION PEOPLE
Are Dependent on the Railroads
for a Living.

for a Living.
Representatives of the million and
quarter railway employees in the Unit
ed States called on President Roose-
Welt last week and stated their reasons
for their opposition to having trans
nortation rates fixed by the federal
government.
Mr.. w. w. Clark, head of the order
of railway conductors, was chairman
Of the committee. He says that the
railway employees and those dependent
on them number about six million peo-
ple in this country. In addition there
are fully four million more in the lum-
Der. iron, steel and other manufacture
inc industries who get large part OF
their wages from money paid by the
railroads for material and supplies
which they have to buy.
In round numbers the wages OF the
railway employees amount to 5000, 600
900 a year.
"Why is it proposed to have the
government fix the price at which the
railroads must sell their service2 The
Government might just as we'll fix the
maximum prices on beef, pork, OIL,
clothing, butter and eggs, in fact
everything which every one has to buy
everyday; and it seems to us that such
step would be infinitely more reason
able than this proposed move upon the
railroad rates, because all of these
and other commodities have advanced
bv leans and bounds, and by methods
which we all agree would bear lnvestl-
cation. while the general average OF
railway freight rates have steadily
decreased from two cents per ton per
mile in 1870 down to three-fOurths OF
one cent per ton per mile to-day, and
during the past ten years the railroad
companies have granted substantial
ware concessions to their employees and
also ameliOrated labor conditions.
THAT the railroads of the country
have been enabled to reduce rates, and
at the same time advance wages and
spend large sums in the physical I'M
provements of their properties, IS due
to the reduction or elimination OF
grades, curves, ETC., doubled capacities
of cars, immensely increased hauling
power of locomotives and superior
character of general service rendered.
showing in instances an increase of
200 per cent in train tonnage, and we
believe that in this increase of earn
ing power and economical manage
ment the limit has been reached: there
fore, we believe that we take fair and
lust view of the situation when we
claim that no national legislation
should be adopted which shall tend IN
any degree to interfere with or inter
rupt the present or future prosperity
of the railroad employees in this coun-
try. -

tar physical and Moral COndi-
ton at End of Confinement.
The Savannah News thinks the con,
Wet question in Georgia could be
solved by putting them all to work on
farms owned by the state Our con-
temporary prints the following inter-
esting editorial on the subject:
1t is stated by the prison commls-
sion that the penitentiary farm at
Milledseville will turn into the state
treasury this year $4,000. Do the
people of the state understand what
This means 3? 1t means that if all the
conyicts we're employed in farming by
the state the states income would be
considerably larger than it is, and ali
of the convicts would be entirely under
the control of state officials. There
would then be no reports Of cruel
treatment of convicts by lessee5 ana no
ground for complaint from any source
that the states convict system wasn't
humane and uplifting in every partlc-
ular.
What has been done on the peni-
tertiary farm this year shows what re-
suits can be achieved with the convicts
in farming. OF course this has been
an exceptionally good year for farm
ers. because the price of cotton has
been high, but even in seasons when
the price of cotton is much below what
il is now the convicts would make
better returns to the state than they do
under the present system. That this
is so is proved by the experience OF
Mississippi with her convictS. She en-
plovs all of them on the farm,
and they are far healthier and
their condition is in every re-
spect more satisfactory than it
was when the cOnvicts were let out to
the highest bidder, Then there was
constant complaint that they were in
humanely treated, that they were
starved and beaten and that at the end
of their terms, if they lived so long,
they were phisycal wrecks, totally I'M
fit to earn a living, even if the way
was open for them to do so. Now they
are we'll fed, we'll clothed and well
housed, and they earn for the state
great deal more than was received for
their labor when they were hired out.
At the end of their terms they are bet
ter morally, and are in such good
physical condition that there is always
a demand for their labor.
OF course it would take considerable
money with which to buy land for
state farms, to put it in condition to
cultivate and to erect the necessary
buildings, but the convicts would soon
earn enough to buy all the land neces-
sary and to make needed improve
meltS. For that matter the state has
now in hand from the net earnings OF
the penitentiary farm this year enough
to buy a great body of land. Instead
of putting the S24, 900 which the farm
has earned this year into the state
treasury let it be used in buying land

THE NEW ST. ELMO
Fittings and Fixtures as Handsome as
 Any in the Territory

The newly fitted north room of the St. Elmo will be thrown open to the public tonight or tomorrow and Globe people may visit one of the most at tractive buffets in the territory. No expense has been spared, no feature neglected and the result IS highly cred table to the enterprise of Sydnor X Sterns, who have demonstrated their faith m the future by making a very heavy investment. On Tuesday they concluded the purchase of the south half of the building, formerly leased, for SIS, 750 and now have one of the most valuable pieces of realty in Globe.
 The fittings and fixtures were shipped by the Brunswick, Bake, Collender Co. and are of the most modern con struction as well as artistic design. Panelled wainscoating with marble base surrounds the room and all woodwork confoms to the pattern of fixtures, which are all of mahoganized birch with old mahogany finish. The ceiling has been handsomely decorated and the rich papering IS in strict accord with the whole color scheme of the interior. A novel pattern in linoleum covers the floor, presenting a brussels carpet eff feet. The private office is richly car peted and furnished with handsome oak desk and steel wire table and chairs.
 The room will be furnished with number of tables lining the walls and steel wire chairs. Electric call bells are placed opposite each table The walls are adorned with numerous oil paintings of value handsomely framed.
 The bar fixtures present very rich appearance, the plate glass mirrors be- ing the largest ever placed in Globe. The refrigerating provisions in the back bar are unique m this part of the coun- try being of the very latest design.
 The section of bar front at either end presents an acquarium with plate glass front and mirror rear wall. When they are filled and ''peopled" with ma rine life the effect will be most attrac- tive, especially under the brilliance of the finest electric lighting system in any building in Globe The plate glass front and the ornamental glass parti- ton of private office enable compre- hensive view of the interior to the passerby.
 The south room will retain all of its present features and the north room be as differently conducted as if 1t were in the next block. The restaurant Is directly in rear of the new room and Sydnor & Sterns have at last achiev-
