Donaldson Would Bar
Reformers From Camp.

Prison reformers will be barred
from the convict camps in Fulton
County, according to a resolution
drawn by Superintendent T. J. Dom
aldson Thursday, which probably Will
be passed by tire County Commission
at its next meeting
The resolution puts the ban on the
small army OF ministers" and ALI
day Sunday services" as well. A
convict parson" will be employed to
preach regularly at each Of the six
camps. He will be prohibited from
bringing more than one person with
him. The service will be limited to
one hour, from II 10 IL o'clock each
Sunday forenoon.
Il am getting tired OF all this re-
form talk from people who do not
know what they are talking about,
said Captcin Donaldson.
Satisfied Till Reformers Arrive.
'The condi don of nine Of every ten
convicts OF the 700 in this county is
100 per cent better than 1t was before
they violated the law and received a
sentence. without an exception, the
general health Is better
The men have clean beds, get
wholesome food and live under sani-
tary conditions that are far superior
TO anything they have known before.
They are usually pretty well satisfied
until Sunday, when these ministers
and reformers worry them for. sew
eral hours they could better enjoy in
rest
Our convict system is about as
coed as any in the world. The idea
that the men leave greater criminals
than they were before they came TO
us is absurd. Some of them don't
like work and would welcome the re-
form and fiowery beds of ease, but II
there is any good in a man he Is will
ing to pay for what he has done
without a murmur.
THE work reforms as many OF the
men as the ministers do. They leave
US in q much better condition than
they were when we got them and at
least half start a new life.
Those who do not reform could
not be reformed unless a shotgun was
used. II the conditions the reformers
seek were brought about l would get

Of vantage really seems a strange one.
For the reasons above given, I am
firmly convinced that the State should
entertain no thought Of dismAntllng her
property and thereby putting herself
at a disadvantage as compared with her
transportation competitors
Now, as TO the future disposition OF
the Western and Atlantic Railroad. II
Is well known that the present lease will
expire December q, 1919. II is not too
soon, therefore, for the State to begin
to consider what steps she viii take to-
ward protecting her citizens IN deter
mining the future Of her railroad.
Doesn't Favor Long Lease.
am quite clear, however, in my con-
viction that the State ought not to con-
sent to a lease for a longer period than
thirty years. No one knows what may
be the conditions, commercially and
otherwise, thirty years from now. There
may be complications which would re-
suit in serious discrimination against her
people and great loss to the State II
she bound herself to a lease of prac-
tically hundred years.
Therefore, she should hoid It within
her power to take back her road about
once in the life time of each generation
and adjust the new lease to the con-
ditions then prevailing.
BY this means she could be reason
ably sure of protecting her people in
the power to hold their own with the
people of other States within future
decades, for bear in mind that each
generation is entitled to solve its
own problems In its own way. We
know not what complexities will con-
front our children and grandchildren in
handling the affairs of the State, and
should not handicap them.
l recommend, therefore, that your
honorable bodies provide for a com
mission consisting of three or five citi-
zens OF Georgia, to be appointed by
the Governor. whose duty it shall be to
formulate a plan for the future leasing
OF the Western and Atlantic Railroad.
Yet, Il may be best to defer action on
this subject until your session in 1914
This will allow ample time for mature
consideration, whereas, II all action were
deferred for your successors, the next
General Assembly. the matter might not
receive the careful thought il merits.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH NJ. BROWN,
Governor.
