WHITE CONWCTS
TO co ON ROADS

The white convicts will go to the pub
lie roads April lst, for there will be no
new State farm until the latter part of
summer or next fall.
The Prison Commission Thursday af-
ternoon again recommended the pur-
chase OF the Wimberly place in Twiggs
county. and the Governor immediately
disapproved the recommendation.
This means that it will be impossible
to decide on place for use by the first
of April, and the matter will go over
for the present. 1t is probable that
nothing will be done until after the in
auguration OF Joseph M. Brown.
Governor Smiths disapproval of the
Wimberly place was made on the same
grounds he advanced two weeks ago
when he asked that the matter be re-
opened.
He states that the place is too badly
cut up; that some of it is unhealthy !;
that the amount of available farming
land is limited to 1,500 acres; that
overhows are likely to cut the place
off from the railroad; that there is
but one available dwelling; that
the topography of the place makes
escaping easy, and that more accept
able places have been offered.

MEMORIAL TO JOEL CHANDLER

There is an effort being made through
out Georgia to erect q memorial to the
late Joel Chandler Harris, who loved
and was loved by the children not only
of Atlanta, nor Georgia, his native

throughout Europe. His stories are
read by all the children, and even the
"grown-ups" enjoy his stories OF "brer-
rabbit" and all the "yuther creeters,"
Modest, retiring and unostentatious as
he was he could not hide, not even in the
"Wren's Nest" and the world to-day
honors his gentle character as few 9th
ers are honored.

Let each dIrectress urge the children

and combine all forces and work to that
end. feel like we must help swell the

of other States. now hope all chap

In an elder day at the academy, and it may be

breakfast.
The cadet saw the poised sticks. entered the
guardhouse and dropped his letter just as the

through the doorway just one-sixteenth of Sec

The Marital Grasshopper,

What is a grasshopper? The latest
definition comes from western Aus
tralia. Domestic servants are almost
unprocurable there. and wives have to
do nearly all their own household
work. The consequence is that they
are compelled torecuperate at the sea-
side in summer In their absence the
husbands have to prepare their own
meals and do domestic duty generally.
Husbands so engaged have come to be
locally known as ''grasshoppers." No
doubt the word is the husband of the
more familiar grass widow.
