10 USE CONvICTs ON ROADS.
Georgia Legislators Asked to Ter.
inmate Lease System at Once.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 30.-When the
Senate meets tomorrow, It will have
before 1t for first reading. the Hol-
der bill to terminate the convict lease
system. which passed the House Fri
day.
The measure will have to be read
on three separate days in the Senate
before 1t can be taken up and put on
Its passage.
No convict bill has yet been passed
by the upper body, although the extra
session has been working, on them
since last Tuesday.
A compromise bill signed by 2s
Senators, was introduced on Friday
and will be read for the second time
tomorrow. This provides for the ter.
mination Of the system Of leasing con.
victs on April /, 1909. On the last day
OF March next year the present con.
tracts, expire.
The Holder bill provides that the
convicts may be again leased afte,
April next, but provides that all
counties wishing them for road work
may have first chance; that counties
desiring more than their pro rata
share for road work shall next be &C.
commodated; that municipalities shall
then be provided for, and any convict.
remaining shall be leased to private
contractors until December 81, 1911
At that date the lease system shall
end. The fund which will be accu.
mulated In the meantime is to be an.
piled to the extension of the plan OF
using all OF the felony and misde.
meanor convicts Of the State in i'm.
proving the public highway. building
and maintaining bridges. and othe,
public works.
There is probability that a livel,
fight may be projected over the sug.
gestion to tax the manufacture and
sale OF near.beer to provide revenue
for the penitentiary system. II thu
Senate passes the income tax amend.
ment. 1t will also meet with vigorous
oposition In the House.
Unless some such debates are pre-.
c'pitated. there Is a probability tina,
the extra session will adjourn the latte,
part Of this week.

which Mr.. Bryan and Gov johnson
showered compliments and praises
upon each other.
Previous to the gathering OF the

Minnesota, but the other Northwest.

The greeting accorded to Mr.. BRYAN
at the station was most cordial. After
breakfast he was escorted by Gov.

and there for an hour shook hands
with the throng which filed in to
meet him. Another hour was spent
at the fair grounds, where the presi-
dental candidate found much to in
terest him. Later he returned to the
fair grounds and spoke for an hour
before an immense crowd. His prin-
cipal topic was Republican extrava-
gance. He received a demonstration
upon being introduced by Gov. john
son, and in his preliminary remarks
took occasion to applaud the governor
and urged his hearers to assist in
reelecting him as their chief execu.

business men that the burden of the
day and menace Of the future has
grown out Of manipulation of our
laws by unprincipled financial pirates
We have had in the last few days
practical illustration of what is meant
10y cutting the timber from the water
sheds in the mountainous regions of
our State. The damage done cannot
be calculated. Therefore I should use
all efforts possible to have such ma.
tional legislation passed as would
protect us, If possible, in the future
from a repetition of this disaster.
There are millions Of acres of valua-
Die land in our low country which
could be made available for farming
purposes by system Of drainage. and
which would bring a maximum result
Tor a minimum expenditure Of money.
l should use every endeavor to bring
about the passage Of such law az
would make the drainage of our low
lands possible.
I am in full accord and sympathy
with the platform of the National
Democratic Party and its candidate.
In a word, think that have PROV

Dear Sir: My Books as National
Treasurer show that you received
from the Southern Cotton Associa-
tion less than two thousand dollars
In all. The territory covered by you
reached from Virginia to the Rio
Grande, including all the cotton pro-
ducing States. and would suppose
that the above amount would have
about paid your actual travelling ex-
penses.
I cheerfully give you this informa-
ton, as have received many in
quiries of similar nature. My books
are open FOR inspection.
Yours very truly.
