The commission calls attention
to the alarming increase in the
number of murder and assault
with intent to murder convict
ions. This condition has existed
since 1906, and each year marks
dreadful increase in homicides.
There are now 2, 668 felony con-
victs in Georgia, an increase of
l2O over the previous year.
There are 2,347 misdemeanors.
In the past ten years there has
been an increase of 423 felony
convicts and only 125 misde-
meanors.
According to the figures, there
are 2,3l2 negro male felony con-
victs, 81 negro females, 300 white
male felony convicts and 5 white
female felony convicts. There
are 2,O46 negro male misdemean-
ors, l76 white male misdemean-
ors, 121 female misdemeanors
and only one white female mis-
demeanor.
The increase in the penitenti-
airy population from the begin
ing of the old lease system to the
present has been ZIG percent. 1t
is estimated that it takes 81. per
annum for maintenances of male
convicts on the state prison farm
and $4S. for females. The pri-
son farm is far from self-sustain-
ing, due largely to the fact that
all of the incompetents, crippled,
feeble and old convicts are sent
there, and productive power is
very small.

Obituary..

Mr.. P. E. j. Belts, formerly
OF Marion, KY, was born Jan.
18th. 1854, and passed away in
College Park, Ga, July 1st, 1911.
he was getting in bad health
when he left Marion about six
years ago. and has been grow
ing worse continually. He had
several light strokes of paralysis
the last one being very severe,
having rendered him speeches.
and almost blind for several days
before the end came. A few
days before he was stricken
down, he said IF he had his
choice, he would rather go to
sleep and never wake up, when he
came to de-" and it seems that
God granted his desire, for with
the last stroke he was reading
and told his wife he believed he
was going blind, and she told
him to lay down maybe he had
been reading too much. He laid
down and was soon in a deep
slumber from which he never
woke for SO hours and then only
a few moments at time, but
almost continually and we feel
God greatly ligtened the pains
of death for he passed away so
sweetly after so much suffering.
1t is very hard to give him up
but We weep not as those who
have no hope for we feel that
with Him, all was well.
One by one we're being gath
cred
From this vale of sin and woe.
Soon we hope to meet our low
ed ones
On the bright celestial shore.

GEORGIA SPENDS 100000
A Year ON GOOD ROADS
Five Thousand COnMCS Are at Work on The Highways Of
The State. Summary Of Prison Commits
SionS Report.

Georgia spent $1,000, 900 on
good roads in the year ending
May 3lst. according to data COM
piled by the prison commission
for the annual report now in the
hands of the printers.
This report is remarkable tri-
butte to the change in Georgia's
system of employing convicts,
and above all things else vindi-
Gates the wiping out of the old
lease system and placing the con-
victs on the public roads. The
new system went into effect in
April, 1909. and in the two in
tervening years hundreds of
miles of fine pixies were built all
over Georgia.
In round figures, there are now
5, coo convicts on the roads Of the
State, onehalf felony and one
half misdemeanor. At this time
Ill Of the lac counties are work
ing the convicts on their roads;
"a counties take their full quota,
but lease them to adjoining TAX
ing pay in work on the roads of
counties so leasing. This leaves
only IL counties not using con-
victs on their roads, and it is the
opinion of the commission that
these IL will soon be under the
banner of road progress.
The statistics complied are vol
luminous and interesting. One
half of the convicts in the state
are between the ages of 20 and
%, and two-thirds between the
ages of 80 and 80. Fully one
half the total number are wholly
illiterate. and less than one per-
cent have what may be termed a

Free Betty ford on the 18th inst,
to consider whether any bridge
should be built, and if so, at
what point. The Lyon county
representatives announced that
they had no authority to consid-
er any bridge for Dycusburg this
year, but that Lyon county is
prepared to build a bridge at the
Free Betty ford, or at what is
known as Bishop ford.
A large crowd had gathered,
and it was decided to leave the
location to the crowd. upon a
vote beng taken, after various
ones had spoken in favor of Free
Betty ford, it was found that
every one on the ground was in
favor of Free Betty ford except
two. The Commissioners then
decided to recommend the build
ing of a bridge at Free Betty
ford by Lyon and Crittenden
counties.
The citizens of that immediate
vicinity provided a barbecue din
ner and other refreshments,
which everyone present enjoyed
to his fullest capacity.
After dinner Senator N. w.
Utley, of Eddyville, opened the
discussion by making a rousing
speech for Good Roads. He was
followed by Judge Blue, Judge
Gray, County Attorney Hodge,
Of Lyon, Hon. John L. Smith, vf
Kuttawa, Hon. w. B. Yandell,
OF Marion, Judge Dobson, of
Fredonia, and Charles Jackson.
ESQ.,, of Lyon county. All were
enthusiastic in their demanus
for better roads and for a better
system of working and making
roads.
From the general discussion of
the matter by those on the ground
that day from Caldwell, Lyon
and Crittenden counties, it would
seem that the day is not far dis
tant, until the people of these
counties will vote a bond issue
sufficient to build good turnpike
roads in all these counties.
Hon. M. F. Pogue, Democratic
candidate for Legislature in Crit
tenden and Livingston counties,
was present and also made a
talk in which he stated that the
question would in all probability,
be, before the next Legislature
in bill providing for state aid
to those counties issuing bonds.
If such a law is passed, we will
have to vote bonds to protect
ourselves.

Requiring Reports On Vital
Statistics In The
State.
REGISTRARS REQUIRED.
Fine of Those Who Failed to
Comply With The
Law.

Frankfort, KY. Jan. 6.-Under
the new vital statistics law passed
by the last legislature registrars Of
births and deaths must be appointed
in every city and county in the state,
and the new law went into effect
Jan. 2.
The parents of newborn child
or the physician or midwife must
make report of such birth 20 the
registrar in their district and pay a
fee of 25 cents. or be fined for fail
ing to do so. All deaths must also
be reported to the registrar before
permit will be issued for burial.
The permit costs rs cents. No under
taker is allowed to bury anyone
without such a permit. and no one
can be buried in a private burying
ground without permit. and any
one failing to comply with the law
will be fined.
These steps are taken so that
perfect record of births and deaths
can be kept. The State Board of
Health is going to try to enforce the
law strictly. Physicians and under
takers will secure all the necessaries.
The State Board of Health has
supplied all the physicians, cemetery
sections, undertakers, etc, wi t h
blanks to be used in case of death or
birth and the bureau Of vital stats.
tics and see that the new law is OBJ
served to the letter. The undertaken
is supplied with a book A)f certif-
Gates and the place of birth, voting
precinct, in case of death. The oc-
cupation. cause of death, name, age
and birth place of parents and doz-
ems IF other questions. This is the
case also with the physicians and the
cemetery sections. And the sections
are instructed most emphatically to
lallow nobody to be buried unless a
permit is given and carefully and
correctly filled out in each instance.
Precise statement of occupation is
very important, so that the relative
thealthfulness of various pursuits can
be known. The question applies to
each and every person irrespective
of age. For many occupations a
single word or term will be sufficient
as farmer or planter. physician, COM
positor. architect, locomotive engi-
neer, civil engineer. but in many
cases, especially in industrial en-
Payments it is necessary to know
the kind of work and also the nature
of the business or industry, as ex-
amples, spinner. cotton mill, grocery
salesman. Women at home. who
are engaged in the duties of the
household only (not paid housekeep-
ers who receive salary. may be
entered as housewife. homework or
at home. AS to the cause of death
the physician must be very definite
in synonyms, etc. Where the correct
information is not given the certifi
cate will be returned for additional
information which give any Of the
following diseases. without explana-
ton as the sole cause Of deaths: Alb
