Atlanta, Ga.-Radical and sweeping
changes in Georgia's peniteniiary sys,

Within few weeks the last vestige
Of the convict lease system, which has
been In operation in this state for
more than 30 years. will have disap-

work upon the public roads OF Georgia
In 1O5 of It's 146 counties.

changes are to take place. those coun.
ties which propose to participate In
this opportunity which the state offers

Twenty-Five Georgia counties have

work for the last five years. under the
law permitting them TO take tho short
term men. with marked success, and Il
is a significant fact that not one of
these counties is missing from the list
Of those which have made requisition
for c0nvicts under the new law.
So valuable have those counties
found the use Of conylcts in the i'm
provement Of their public roads that
there is not one OF them but would
like 70 get more than its allotted share
under the new law.
Il has been definitely and finally de-
termined 70 place all Of the white

Under the law requiring separation
Of the races no county wanted white
conyicts. For this and other rea-
sons the commission decided that II
was best to segregate the white men,
about 300 in number. upon a farm
which wiz be worked by them for the
state.
That farm will be purchased By the
commission with the approval Of the
governor.
Upon the farm will be placed every
whits male Convict, whether able bod.
led or decrepit. sound or invalid, and
nowhere else In Georgia will there be
sent. for the present at least, any
white male inmate of the state peni-
tentiary.

UNCLE SAM TELLS THE TRUTH.
Exploits Good and Bad Points Of Coast
island offered for Lease.

San Francisco.-That Uncle Sam
would make a poor real-estate agent
is indicated by the advertisement for
the lease of Santa Barbara island,
which the government has just issued.
In the bald statement Of the attrac-
tons Of the little island of the coast
Of California no attempt Is made to
gloss over its many drawn backs as a
place of residence. The advertise
ment Of a request for bids IN all its
frankness reads as follows:
The island is about forty miles
from the mainland, Is about one and
one-half miles long and one mile wide.
The Pacific coast pilot states that
there is no water on the island and no
grass, but plenty Of priekly pear and
shrubs. The island rises to an eleva-
ticn of 547 feet Landing is at all
times difficult and can be effected at
only two places The anchorage is in
eight fathoms Of water, with clean,
sandy bottcm, but no good holding
ground"
