Atlanta, July 20.-Tha debate on
the convict bill was resumed in the
house this morning, oeaborn Wright

form of the lease system, he being in
cllned to favor the farm idea as
advocated in bill by Judge Coyington
and others.
Many have been expecting that the
discussion will reach the voting stage
bu Tuesday but such seems improbable
now Many members have speeches
to deliver, and the debate being car
ried on in the committee of the whole
house, where no limit is placed on the
time, the discussion can be indefinite
1y prolonged.
Mr.. Wright began speaking at ten
thirty, as soon as the opening formal
tiles and transaction of some miner
business was over with He stated
that no man in Georgia believes more
in the punishment of criminals than

In fact, ne said, there must be
a stricter enforcement of the law and
a firmer execution of it's sentences" "
He referred to the fact that many
states have in recent years abandoned
the lease system. He spoke of its
unsound principles.

Didn't say that every member of
the committee is opposed to it and
tried their best to find some method
for abandoning it,

between Mr.. Wright and Joe Hill Hall,
who expressed the same views as Mr..
Holder.

takes bonds" declared Mr.. Wright.

The galleries were crowded during the
speech.
The investigation of the prison com
mission and every phase of the con-

GOOD ATTRACTIONS.
Theater Goers Will Have Plenty OF
Them This Season..

1t is promised that the strongest
list of attractions ever offered patrons
OF the Grand opera house will be
brought by Manager Finney when he
arrives next month. The season will
open the latter part of September.
Election year is always a coed one
for the one-night stands, but this sea

thing ever offered amusement-goers in
Brunswick. The fact that the rail
roads have agreed upon party rates
makes the coming season less hazard

theatrical organizations. Last falls
panic also assisted in taking a fall
cut Of last seasons business and mark
ing it in theatrical history as one of
the most disastrous ever.
AS soon as Manager Finney arrives
the bookings for the season will be
published.

COME THIS WAY

The Charleston Post of Sunday,
says:
Freight steamships will begin to
run between Philadelphia and Charles
ton on next Saturday, July 25, as a
result of favorable freight rates grant
ed the Southern Steamship company
by the Southern railway, mainly
through the efforts of Mr.. E. H. Shaw,
formerly general agent at Charleston,
and Mr.. ]. H. Hufett, Of Charleston.
1t is planned to operate two stea1l-
ships, into Charleston, running BIZ
weekly. AS BUSINESS increases week
ly sailings will be the rule, with ad-
ditional ships placed into the Philade:,
phia-Charleston traffic.
On next Saturday the steamship
Shawmut will leave Philadelphia for
the first stop at Charleston on her way
to Jacksonville, giving Charleston a
freight service similar to that Of the
Clyde Steamship Company. The Al
g;ers, running between Philadelphia
and Tampa, will follow the Shawmut,
making the second stop of the line
here.
The AlgieTs carries passengers as

is FIGURING ON
NEW PLAN OF COAST DEFENSE.
THIS PORT is IN LIST OF AT
LANTIc STATIONS.

VIII Brunswick be made q station
for a dirigibIe a:rship fieet? A move
ment is on f~ot to ask the next Con-
gress for a big appropriation with
which to build airships for coast de-
fence, and Brunswick is named by the
signal corps officials and officers of
the army ordnance board as very
likely port for the harboring cf such
a fleet
If this appropriation is passed, then
Brunswick may wake up some fine
morning and see the sky f'lai with
strange birds and buzzards, for large
cigar shaped gas bags supporting
frames in which men and explo iy2s
are borne aloft will fly over the city
and tie up to their aerial stat'o.;.
Activity among foreign powers IN
building air fleets has caused the Uni
ted States authorities to lool: to the
inventors for similar equipmcnr.
The following from The New York
Herald tells of the proposed aerial
fleet plans for Brunswick and ether
coast cities:
According to plans being discussed
by the signal corps Office and the
board of ordnance of the army $1,000.
600 will be asked of the next congress
for fleets of dirigible airships similar
to that of Count Zeppelin for coast
defense, Rapid progress in aeronau-
tics among foreign nations, makes it
imperative, they believe that the Uni.
ted States should begin plans for
aerial fleets.
Should congress make this appropri-
alton, and some signal officers urge
the necessity of asking congress for
an appropriation of $10,000,000 in or
der to keep up with foreign countries
in military aeronautic stations on the
Atlantic will probably be established
at Boston, New York, some point on
the New Jersey coast, Norfolk, Bruns-
wick and Mobile. On the Pacific
coast stations will be established at
Bremerton, and Francisco and San
Diego.
Men will be trained in special aero
nautic branch of the signal corps in
the handling Cf the airs4.lps, and ex-
plosives to be dropped overheard on
land forces or the enemv's battleships

Webster Groves, Mo-, great-grandsor
of Daniel Boone, is positive that the
body of the famous trapper was re
moved from the Bryan cemetery, neal
Martinsville, Mo-, and reinterred al
Frankfort, KY. He discredits state
ment made recently by Rev. r. =
McQuie Of Montgomery, Mo-, to the
effect that the body disinterred was
not Boone's.
Daniel Boone died at the home oi
his son, Col. Nathan Boone, near Mar
tinsville.,
@My father, John Boone" said
Loran6e Boone, twas Col. Boone's
youngest son. He was present when
Daniel died and I often heard him
tell stories about his grandfather.
"The coffin In which Daniel Boone
was buried was purchased by him ten
years before his death. He had been
very sick and my grandfather, be
lieying his father about to die, went
to ST. Charles, Mo-, and had box oi
rough wood made in which to bury
him.
''But Daniel got well and did moi
like the coffin, so he destroyed 1t and
went to st. Charles to get coffin
to his own liking. He had one made
of black walnut and took it back to
Martinsville with him. 1t was put
in the attic / have often heard my
father tell how the children used to
play in it.
1T was in this box that Daniel
Boone was buried, and this Is the one
that was found at the time OF the dis
interment. MY father was present
then and I have heard him say that
the coffin was well preserved. It was
opened, but only a few bones were
left. The coffin of Daniel Boone's wife
was well preserved, too. Her remains
were removed to Frankfort with her
husbands. Stones marked both
graves"
