PURCHASES BIG
CONVICT WAGON
GLYNN COUNTY BUYS ONE WHICH
WILL BE USED FOR THE
STATE CoNVICTS.

In order to comply with certain rules
OF the state of Georgia in connection
with the distribution of state convicts
TO the various counties of the state,
Glynn county has just purchased from
the authorities OF Lowndes county, a
large convict wagon. In other words
home for the convcts has been pur-
chased. as the wagon, which will ar
rive in the city before the first of
April, when Glynn's fourteen convicts
will reach here, will be used as a home
for these conyicts. They will be kept
separate from the regular county CON
yicts.
The wagon is one that has been
in use in Lowndes county, and well
answers the purpose for which it is
TO be used. 1t is three story wagon,
fitted comfortably with beds, etc and
will be stationed at various points,
where the conyicts are at work. The
price paid for the wagon is not known.
This practically completes all ar
rangements In this county for the CON
vlcts who are to be here at the end
OF the month. AS convicts have been
worked on our roads in the past no
extra preparations had to be made for
the arrival of the new ones. Addi-
tional quarters were needed and this
wagon answers the purpose well.
1t is not known yet where the con-
victs to be used here are to be brought
from. 1t was announced by the prison
commission some time ago that the
various counties would be supplied
from the nearest point where the state
convicts are on April I. This will be
done in order to cut down expenses as
much as possible. Glynn will. there
fore secure her convicts from some
of the nearly state convict farms.
Superintendent Higginbotham will
probably go for them. The authorities
expect to be notified within the next
few days where to send for the four
teen convicts.

BIG SUM GIVEN
To THIS DISTRICT
SURVEY OF ocMULGEE RIVER
AND OTHER WORK PROVIDED
FOR IN SUNDRY BILL.

Col Dan G. Kingman, United States
district, will have many surveys il
the district taken under his dire ctloi
during the next year as Il result of the
adoption by cong ese OF the snndrl
civil appropriations bill.
Nearly every district is in ;!uded IL
the list of those of which surveys are
ordered and the bill means q great
deal of work 1t also carries with il
large appropriation which will be
apportioned among the engineering
districts for the purpose of continu
ing government contracts ana work
now going on.
A survey of the Savannah river al
Augusta for the purpose of ascertain
ing the improvements that are neccs-
sary for the better navigation OF the
river at that point is ordered.
One of the most novel features o.
the bill is the survey ordered tlken
of the Ocmulgee river, to determine
the advisability of constructing a sya-
TEN of locks and dams in the river
between Macon and awkinsville c'ha
recommendation for this section did
not pass through Colonel Kingman' S
office and so was probably asked by
the people of Macon direct
The survey contemplates the con
struction of such a system of locks
and dams between the two points On
the river mentioned, SO that deeper
draft boats may navigate the stream
at all seasons of the year. Whether
the government will ever make an
appropriation for such work will de-
pend somewhat upon the nature of the
report covering the survey.
Surveys are also ordered for the
Sapelo bar and harbor. and the Oco-
nee, Ocmulgee and Altamaha rivers
and the Ogeechee, the Ohoopee and
the Coacoochee rivers All of these
surveys are authorized by the act and
will take up much time and work in
their carrying out. The surveys are
probably more extensive than any of
those ordered in recent years.
Tie section Of the bin providing
an appropriation for the carrying on
of present government work is of i'm
portance to Brunswick, as the govern
ment has very extensive and costly
plant in operation in the waters of this
district. This plant includes the gov
ernment. dredges, the snag boats and
the various boats used in the carry
ing on of the governments improve
ment work
The bill carries over $4,000, 900 with
it which is to be allotted to the dis
tricts subject to the approval of the
department al Washington

Away with Clothes.

If one takes a somewhat broader
and less technical view of the menac-
ing conditions disclosed by the London
Lancet's series Of exposes, and is
large-minded enough to appreciate
the essential artifcialty Of the
whole modern scheme Of clothes, there
seems but one logical conclusion from
the premises, viz, clothes must go or
the human race will be deyoured and
exterminated by microbes. The cor
veniences of the household from
scrubbing brush to the grand piano,
are nothing more nor less than germ
traps. From kitchen to drawing room
and garret the house is alive with
microscopic brigands. Hence, houses
must be given up also. And it thus
appears that science as well as social
ism urges a return to the misnamed
days of barbarism toward which the
back to nature folk look so long
ingly.
