Claimed That Men Have Been

An article from Eddyville in the
L9Ai lgton Leader, of March 26,
says:
The lawlessness so rampant in
this section has developed a new
and startling feature. 1t has come
to light that large numbers of the
inner circle" of the tobacco asso-
ciation-that is, the organized
light riders-have been forced
into the organization, and at the
point of deadly arms made to take
the oath administered to those who
assume the vows of intimidation,
arson and, some report, murder.
The Sc are becoming crushed with
the sense of responsibility for the
crimes committed by the so-called
night, riders against their earnest
protests.
1t is reported that law abiding
and liberty loving elements in the
OF ganization have been on the
verge of open and violent rebel
lion. They are intensely loyal to
the Dark Tobacco Growers Pro-
tectiye Association. and so are all
good citizens, but they bitterly re-
sebt being made party to the long
line of grievOus crimes that are
desolating the State and terroriz-
ing the women and children, and
even the brave men of the country.

DEMAND AND MAINTAIN.

Mr.. Boardman declared that it
was time for the saloon keepers,
as body, to demand and maintain
order in their places of business,
and to make them resorts to which
gentlemen of culture could come
without being offended. He called
attention to the fact that it is to
the interest of the saloon keeper to
conduct a high class house. and
that low dives are not only men
ace to the community in general,
but to the reputable saloon keeper
as well.
Mr.. Boardman said that it is the
duty Of every member of the asso-
citation to work indefatigably in
the interest of good saloons and
to declare irrevocable war against

TERMS OF RESOLUTION.

The provisions of the resolution
are that the members of the asso-
citation shall rigidly adhere to all
laws and ordinances, as well as to
obey the mandates of the police
and license boards: to obey the
Sunday and election day closing
law; to refuse to sell to intoxicated
persons, females, minors and inc
briates: to refuse to display on sa-
loon walls indecent pictures of all
kinds; to take a stand against the
secret publication of lewd adver-
tisements, and to exercise the same
care In the matter of the welfare
of their guests as is exercised by
railroad employees and inn keepers.
Perhaps the strongest provision
of the resolution was that which
declared for the prosecution by
the association of all saloon keep
ers in Louisville found breaking
any the the aforesaid laws.

HISTORY OF CONVICT SYSTEM

In his speech Friday against the
convict lease system, Hon. w. A.
Covington gave a succinet history of
the handling of the convicts of
Georgia for the past forty years. Just
at this time accurate information on
the convict question is of value.
Mr. COvington said:
Forty years ago a Federal general
who held Georgia in the hollow of his
hand, sold the convicts of the state
to private persons. Later, and thirty
years ago, the state authorities sold
them to other private parties at
and for the lump sum of $25 900 for
time and period of twenty years, a
sale that Melted the state something
like Sl1 per year per convict Ten
years ago the general assembly of
Georgia renewed the sale for ano-
Their five years, selling the labor of
the convicts for 800 per year. Five
years ago. the same arrangement was
entered into again for a like term of
five years, and this time when the
bids were opened, it was found that
something like 1925 per year per
Something like ten years ago a
prison farm was established at Mil
ledgeville, Ca, for the purpose of
combining there aged, decrepit and
female cOnvicts. Two years ago we
established at Milledgeville refor-
matory for the purpose of sending
there such Juvenile offenders as in
the discretion of trial judges ought
properly to go there.
Under the terms of the present
law, it was provided that if any coun-
ty should wish to establish a county
changing for the purpose of working
felony convicts, and should indicate
Its wish to do so to the prison COM
mission of Georgia, such proportion
ate number of felony convicts should
be allotted to it as it's total population
might sustain to the whole population
of Georgia. and that the remaining
felony convicts not so taken by the
counties should be leased to the
highest bidder, as stated above. The
act also provides that the total moneys
derived from the hire of the con-
victs so leased should be divided
among the counties not choosing to
work their convicts on their roads
and that this division should be in
proportion to the population. 1t
was also provided that this money
upon its arrival in such counties
might either be utilized in working the
public roads, or might be diverted in
to the public school fund of such
county.
All this has reference to felony
convicts. For long time it has been
the law that misdemeanor convicts
should be worked upon some public
works by the authorities of the coun-
ties where they may have been con-
victed.
The present arrangement for dis
position of the felony convicts ex-
pires under the terms of the act of
April 1, 1909; and thus we are COM
PEELED to deal with it.
