STATE C9NWCTS
co ON THE ROADS.

At sunrise, April 1st, Georgia shook
of the last rag of her convict lease sys-
tenn. From one end of the State to the
other, hundreds of human beings were
led from the depths of mines, from the
heat OF kilns, from the turpentine
camps, out into the sunlight, into the
service of the State.
Georgia has no State penitentiary.
For years her convicts have been work.
ed in the mines, in the brick yards and
by turpentine firms. But the State de-
cided to abolish this traffic in whites as
well as blacks, so instead of leasing it's
prisoners, it will work them on the pub
lie roads.
Though shackled and ironed, the con-
victs greeted the change with shouts of
Joy and weird hymns of Thanksgiving.
Negro preachers were at most of the
stocka0es, and led the blacks in their
impromptu praise service. Special
trains were waiting, and the prisoners
were transferred as rapidly as possible
to their new quarters.
Strangely enough, some of the con-
victs cried at leaving scenes which had
been part of the daily life Of some of
them for many years. Many close
friendships between prisoners and keep
ers were shown in the different lease
camps of the State. Close associations
for years we're broken up, and there
was touch of human sadness in
many of the partings. More than two
hundred men we're taken from the
plant of the Chattahoochee Brick Coms
pany, and were distributed in squads
of five to forty among the different
counties.
One circumstance developed at this
camp is that nearly every convict had
a small amount of money earned by
working after hours or on Sundays. The
care each took to preserve his hoard
ings was only equaled by that to keep
all his trinkets.

1t has been announced that Thomas A.
Edison has perfected his long promised
storage electric battery, and that it meets
the most sanguine expectations of its in
ventor In the near future, it is promised
revolution will be accomplished in the
application of physical energy to achieve
the ends of physical endeavor.
If the prediction is verified, single
farmland of 1925 will find it an easy task
to pillow, harrow and plant 40 acres of corn
from rise to set of a single days sun, and
during the crop season he will be able to
cultivate 200 acres planted to that cereal,
with less draft on his physical constitution
than 10 acres tax him now. When that
day comes, if those roseate expectations
are justified, the husbandman will devote
his hillsides to meadow, pasture, orchard,
and forest and cultivate the level parts of
his farm, after the teachings of Campbell,
and in accord with the idea of the inten-
sive system.
The mule will become an extinct animal,
and the horse will be bred for pleasure and
for sport only. Farm life will be delightful.
A storage battery in the cellar will provide
light and heat, and in the intense warm
months of the summer it will be put in
requisitiOn to cool the torrid atmosphere
Hay will be cured within an hour after the
grass is cut by electricity and stored in the
barn ere the sun goes down that day, a
sweeter and wholesomer provender for
domestic live stock
| This invention will force the construction
of good country roads, and thus $500, 00O,-
600 annually will be saved to farmers in
the single item of carrying their products
from the farm to the railroad station.
Then when we contemplate that other
promise of Luther Burbank that by intelli-
gent plant propagation Mississippi may
become wheat belt and Illinois a cotton
belt, the possibilities Of the future are so
vast and stupendous as to stageer the
most riotous imagination.
Will history decree Edison greater than
Caesar, and Burbank greater than Napo-
| leon?

TAFT. BEFORE AND AFTER.

During the campaign Taft, the trained
lawyer. with years of experience on the
bench, favored Federal tax on individual
incomes and said: IN my judgment an
amendment to the Constitution is not ne
cessary to that end" Yet a few months
later we find President Taft urging the
postponement of all bills imposing an in
come tax on private persons and insisting
on the necessity of amending the Consti-
tuition to give the validity to such an en-
actment.
About the same time Taft the candidate
committed himself unqualifiedly to a Fed
eral tax on collateral inheritances. Yet
President Taft has since frowned on every
effort to bring such legislation before Con-
gress.
In September. 1908, Taft. the nominee.
told the people that he was opposed. both
in theory and practice, to the Federal con-
troll of all corporations. or even Of those
doing an interstate business" Yet in June.

sage to Congress urging the adoption of a
tax on the dividend funds of corporations,
his strongest plea in advocacy of such a
tax being that it would be long step tow
ard giving to the Federal Government
effective supervision of all corporations "

not even Roosevelt, has so often falsified

other disagreeable surprises he holds yet

ORDER OF PUBLICATION.
Fannie E. Underwood, Petitioner,
VS..
Joseph L. Underwood, Respondent.
In the Circuit Court for Montgomery county.
No. 2505 Equity.

THE OBJECT of this suit is to obtain
decree of divorce vinculo matrimonii by
Fannie L. Underwood against Joseph L.
Underwood. The petition states that the
parties were married December 23rd, 1898,
in Washington, D. C. That shortly there
after they took up residence in the State
OF Maryland, where they continued to re-
side; that one child Ralph Underwood,
was born to the parties on December 18th,
1883; that petitioner always conducted her
self in a respectful and proper manner to-
ward respondent and gave him no cause to
ill-treat and abandon her as hereinafter set
forth; that about a year after marriage
respondent began to change his conduct
toward petitioner and began to drink and
become intoxicated and began a course of
ill-treatment of petitioner which finally
eliminated in driving her from his home
at midnight on or about December 4th,
1913, and in respondent abandoning petit
toner on or about December 4th, 1908 ::
that said abandonment has continued I'M
interrupted for at least three years and is
deliberate and final, and the separation of
the parties is beyond any reasonable ex-
pectation of reconciliation. The PRAYER of
the bill is that petitioner may be divorced
a vinculO matrimonii from the respondent
and have custody of the aforesaid child,
and for other and further relief as may be
demanded by the exigencies of the bill,
and that publication may be made giving
notice to the respondent, who is a nom
resident of this State, of the substance and
object of this bill and warning him to ap-
pear in this court in person, or by solicitor,
on or before certain day to be named
therein to show cause. if any he have, why
a decree ought not to be passed in the
cause as prayed.
1t is thereupon this 18th day of July,
1903, ordered that the petitioner, by caus-
ing copy of this order to be inserted in
some newspaper published in said Mont
eomery County, once week for four sue
cessive weeks prior to the 18th day of
August. 1903, give notice to Joseph L.
Underwood of the object and substance of
this bill and warn him to appear in this
court in person. or by solicitor, on or be-
fore the 9Th day of September, 1909, to
answer the premises and show cause, if
any he have, why decree ought not to
pass as prayed.
