SCORES THE CONVICT SYSTEM
Fielder Says ut Is So Rotten That
1t Smells to Heaven" Senator
Crittenden's Bill Was Up.

Everyone knows that the cues
ton of the convict lease system in
Georgia is so rotten that it smells
to heaven" declared Senator T. S.
Fielder of the Twenty-second district
in the senate.
This was the first shot at the con-
vict lease system, which promises to
be the center of probably the hottest
fight of this session OF the legisla-
ture. Senator Fielder made the
statement during Il brief discussion
of the bill by Senator II. A. Crit
tenden of the Eleventh District pro-
vlding penalty for an judge who
should violate the present law for
bidding misdemeanor conyicts being
leased out
While no action was taken SEN
ator Felder's attack on the convict
lease system shows which way the
forces are moving. After adjourn
ment he stated that he is preparing
a bill providing that convicts can
only be worked by the state and
counties and not by corporations or
individuals He will offer this bill
in the senate in a short while.
When the clerk called Senator
Crittenden's bill Senator Fielder
arose. Il consider that fine bill -
he said, but there are some amend
ments | would like to offer. The bill
provides that a Judge shall be i'm
prisoned for violation of the pres
ent law. | would aid that he be
first impeached, for it would not do
to put a judge in jail while still
holding office"
Mr.. Crittenden consented to the
amendment and to having his bill
tabled

CUTHBERT HAS SENSATION
Citizen Takes "a Warrant for Chief
of Police Cox for False Impris-
Onment. End Not Yet.

The Cutnbert Leader prints the
following account OF a lively and
somewhat sensational episode in that
town in which citizen and an off,
cial are involved
ION a warrant sworn out by Gus
Bartlett, charging that he had been
falsely imprisoned, j. E. Cox, chief
of police of Cuthbert, was arrested
on Monday by l.. S. Shelly, consta-
BILE. Mr.. Cox gave bond, and on
Tuesday stood commitment trial be-
fore Judge R. M. Jones, j. P.
The trial excited a good deal of
interest, and was held N the supe-
riOr court room to accommodate the
spectators and the witnesses, there
being a number of the latter Col.
R. Terry represented the defendant
and Col. George H. Perry the plant
if. The trial began a 10 o'clock
and lasted until the middle of the
compliments lawyer, the case was
withdrawn. 'Tis said that an effort
will be made at the next term of the
superior court to have the grand
jury indict Mr. Cox.
The plea of Gus Bartlett is that
while at the depot last Thursday
Policeman Cox arrested him for al
legged disorderly conduct, and with
out allowing him an opportunity to
give bail locked him up in the Gala
boose for an hour and half or two
hours; that he was not given a sub
poena until after he had been i'm
prisoned. He contends that he had
not violated any city ordinance.
Chief Cox, on the other hand,
claims that his actions in this affair
were entirely legal. That Gus had
been out of town for a day or two,
presumably to avoid arrest, and APP
peared to be on the point of leaving
again when taken in charge. Mayor
Mcpherson is backing up the police
man.
During the trial Gus Bartlett
made a statement or two calculated
to reflect upon the official charac-
ter of Chief Cox, and Mrs. Bartlett
declared that on a former occasion
the policeman had compromised a
case for her. Thus far these charges
have not been investigated. ~

ROUTING THE BOIL WEEyIL.
Tremendous Decrease in the Pest in
Texas This Year.

A few years since it looked as if
the boil weevil pest was destined to
irreparably damage the cotton crop
of the south each year. At first this
pest seemed to defy scientists. and
although the government spent large
sums OF money in the attempt to
eradicate it the pest appeared to be
getting the better of those who were
fighting it,
The department of agriculture has
fought right on, however, with much
determination, and at last success
seems to be in sight.
The result of the work of the
department is most gratifying
The reports from the boil weevil dis
trlcts of Texas show a tremendous
decrease in the number of weevils
per acre this year, as compared with
the number on the same fields and
In the same sections last year. The
department officials are encouraged

toward stamping out the pest

PAYS IN TONS OF SILVER COIN
Tons and Tons of 1t Sent Treasury
by Seattle POstOffice.


A Seattle, Wash, dispatch says
tons and tons of silver coin have
been sent to the subtreasury in San
Francisco by the Seattle postofice,
because, if gold is sent instead, the
local postoffice officials might lost by
it. The situation is due to the fact that
the subtreasury would not accept
remittances except in cash. Silver
coin is counted when it arrives in
the ordinary way. Gold, however, is
weighed, and, If under weight. the
remitter must make up the deficien-
cy.
AS gold coins which nave been in
circulation for years lose apprecia-
bly, in weight the loss on 100000,
which represents approximately the
sum transferred TO the subtreasury
annually, might be considerable.
The postmaster would be compelled
to make good the amount, and it
might make quite hole in his sal
airy. Greenbacks are not RENTED
for the reason that the remitting
Office is compelled to list every bill
separately by number, denomination
and series, entailing a great amount
of work and affording much oppor-
tunity for mistakes.

HOT CAMPAIGN IN PANAMA
THE ONE IN GEORGIA WAS
MERELY A SUMMER BREEZE.
They Are Trying to Elect President
Down There, and 1t Is the Crook
eldest Campaign Ever known.

NNNSS Ever AnOMn.
We have just passed through a
hot political campaign here in Geor-
gia, but in comparison with that
which is being waged in Panama it
was as summer breeze to a tornado.
The people there are divided into
three parties, namely the Conserva-
tive, Liberal and Constitutional. The
Conservative and Liberal parties
want Senior Obaldia for president,
and 1T is asserted that practically 90
per cent. of the people favor him.
he was recently the Panama minis
ter to Washington and is said to be
an excellent man and in every re-
spect fitted for the office 1t WASH t
thought in the beginning of the cam
paign that he would have opposition,
but Senior Aries, the present secre-
tary of state, suddenly developed an
ambition to be president, and the
present president, Amador, is giving
him his support.
The story is that the crookedest
campaign that was ever waged in
Central America is being conducted
by these men. They have control
of the government and all of it's
agencies, and they have instructed
the registration officials, so it is
stated, not to permit anybody to reg
lister who isn't in favor of the cleo
ton of Senior Aries. 1t seems that
one of the things that Secretary Taft
went to Panama to settle a few
weeks ago was the troubles that were
constantly arising in the campaign
for the presidency. 1t is asserted
that Senior Aries attempted to make
him believe that he had been de-
ceiyed by false reports, and that there
was no intention to have anything
but fair election, but it turned out
that Mr.. Taft was well fortified with
documentary evidence, which he
showed to Senior Aries, much to the
latter's confusion. He then proceed
ed to inform Senior Aries and
President Amadon that the United
States intended the election should
be a fair one, and to make it I'M
mistakably clear that he meat what
he said he had the registration books
placed in charge of Americans.
1t seems, however, that the people
are not satisfied by any means that
the election will be fair, and they
are insisting that United States
troops shall be sent to the isthmus
and that the election shall be held
under the direction OF the American
authorities of the canal zone. In or
der to emphasize their request they
are threatening to blow up the ca
nal with dynamite and to destroy in
the same way important government
buildings in the canal zone. They
are determined to get troops to the
isthmus. 1t is evident from this
statement that the presidential cleo
ton in Panama i7 bringing about a
very unsatisfactory state of affairs
there.
We already have Cuba's presiden-
tial campaign in charge and if we
take control of that of Panama we
shall, with our own presidential
campaign, have about as many presi-
dental campaigns as we can well
attend to. 1t wouldn't be surpris-
ing if we should have to supervise
the political affairs of both Cuba and
Panama for many years.
