eEORGIA'S CONVICT SYSTEM
First Reading Of Holder Measure
Feature of Today's Session.
It's Provisions.

ATLANTA, Ga, August 31.-When the
senate meets today it will have before it
for a first reading the Holder bill to
terminate the convict lease system which
passed the house last Friday.
The measure will have to be read on
three separate days in the senate before
it can be taken up and put on its passage.
No convict bill has yet been passed by
the upper body, although the extra ses-
sion began work last Tuesday. A COM
promise bill signed by twenty-three sena-
tors was introduced Friday and will be
read for the second time tomorrow. This
provides for the termination of the sys-
tenn of leasing convicts April I. 1909 The
last day of March of next year the pres
INT contracts expire.
Provisions Of Holder Bill.
The Holder bill provides that the con-
victs may again be leased after April 1
next. but provides that all counties wish
ing them for road work may have first
choice. that counties desiring more than
their pro rata share for road work shall
next be accommodated. that municipali-
ties shall then be provided for and any
convicts remaining shall be leased to
private contractors until December 81,
1911.
At that date the lease system shall end.
The fund which will be accumulated in
the meantime is to be applied to the eX-
tension of the plan Of using all the felony
and n1iS1emeanor convicts of the state in
improving the public highways building
and maintaining bridges and other public
works.
There Is a probability that a lively fight
may be projected over the suggestion to
tax the manufacture and sale of near
beer to provide revenue for the peniten-
tiary system II the senate passes the
income tax amendment 1t will also meet
with vigorous objection in me house.
Unless some such debates are precpi-
tated there Is a probability that the extra
session will adjourn the latter part OF
this week.

Trying to Cure Him.
The physician attending Early said to-

that is known to medical science as. the
best treatment for leprosy. He does not
care to make public the prescription as
he thinks it would result merely in some
doctors who have nothing else to do
denouncing the remedy and suggesting
something else. The physician says the
medicine Early is getting has not only
been known to prolong life. but actually
has cured cases of the disease.
Early to Get His Pension.
The pension bureau has gone carefully
into the question of Early's claim to a
pension and its conclusions, based upon
the record and other evidence on file, are
that the soldier had the same disability

has leprosy he had it in the service and
incurred it therein.
