Atlanta Sept 1a.-The extra session OF the
General Assembly finished its work and ad-
tourned sine die this afternoon after agreeing
nnon a bill which ii Is believed will effect the
abolition Of the convict lease system. The bill
leaves any convicts not taken by counties on

tiles at 500 a year. or not needed on the state
farm or other state institution to be disposed
of at the discretion OF the Governor and the
Prison Commission. 1t is believed that this
will end the lease system definitely on March
81 1909.
The main point of difference between the
houses has been as to the disposition OF those
overs" This morning the Senate unexpectedly
receded from it's position on the convict legts-
Iation before ii, and passed the measure abol-
ishng the convict lease system practically as 1t
