AUGUST 10.

The legislature was offered by Sen.
ators Fielder, Stevens, Henderson and
Peacock on Monday solution of the
convict problem in Georgia, on which
it is believed all the opposing ele-
ments will agree before the hour for
adjournment next Wednesday. It is
known the opponents OF the present
lease system will accept it, and 1t is
understood the leading advocates Of
the Holder bill in both house and
senate are in sympathy with the
main principles carried in the new
bill. This solution of the problem in
brief provides for the total abolish
ment of the present prison commits
sion. and states that board OF sew
en- directors, to be named by the gov
ernor for terms of from one to- six
years each, shall take the place of the
commission in the management of the
Georgia prison department; that the
convicts left over for the next eigh-
teen months, after the counties have
taken what they want to work their
roads with, shall be leased under the
direction of this board, and that the
funds derived therefrom shall be used
as a special fund to buy lands for
state convict farming. The convict
lease system is then to end forever.
A pardon secretary is provided for,
and also a general manager and cler-
ical force to work under the direction
of the board. The members of the
board are to work without fees, but
will be paid their expenses up to four
dollars per day.
At the afternoon session of the SEN
ate motion was passed to allow the
prison investigating committee to con-
tinue it's work until Wednesday.
A resolution was adopted naming
the chronological branch of the state
university located at Atlanta the State

English House Names.

House owners are sometimes rather
unfortunate In their selection Of names
for their abodes, and in suburbla house
naming is occasionallyra rather ludicrOus
Thus "The Naples" has never a ma.
pie near, "The Rosary" only exists in
imagination, "sunnyside" is the most
depressing villa residence, and houses
named after the English lakes no more
suggest the lake district than Fleet
street suggests the Bots de Bouogne.
The Anglo Saxon word "hyrst," sig
nifying a forest or wood, has become
hurst In house naming, and wood
and "holt' have the same meaning.
All house names ending with these ter.
limitations are pretty and not unsafe to
choose.
It is curious to note that ia Hastings
and st Leonards quite number OF
houses have typically Saxon names,
perhaps to commemorate the great
Saxon tragedy OF which the name
Hastings is reminiscent
