Tuesday was a great day for
Okolona. The occasion was the
election to decide whether the
City would issue bonds to build
a sewer system. Many had pre-
dicted that the proposition
would be defeated easily, and
even the most ardent advocates
could not count enough noses to
make the bonds go. So it cor
tinued right up to the close Of
the polls and the counting began.
As the ballots came out Of the
box, the managers called "for",
for" "for", so regularly that it
was soon apparent that Okolona
was in reality possessed Of a citi-
zenship Whostandfor a clean heal

it was found that only 81 voters.

The proposition, and that it had
carried by double the majority
required with votes to spare.

Newt White Quits Senate

State Senator Newt H. White
of the Twenty-second senatorial
district, including the counties
of Giles, Lawrence and Wayne,
presented his resignation last
week to Gov. Rye and the senate,
to take effect Immediately on its
being spread on the journal of
the senate.
The immediate cause of his
resignation was the passage of a
bill by the house and senate TAX
ing 5, 500 acres of land from Giles
county and transferring these
acres to Marshall county. 1t is
charged that the bill passed the
house during the illness of Rep
resentative Flournoy of Giles
county, and that when it reach
ed the senate, though he was
assured of the opposition of a
number of members, some of
these senators, due to political
manipulation, voted for the bill
when it was called up for pas
sage. Senator White cites a de-
cision of the Supreme Court to
show that such a transfer of ter
ritory by the legislature is un-
constitutional.

To WORK SHORT TERM
CONWCTS ON ROADS
Measure introduced by Speaker
Albert +. Hill Passes in the
Senate.

Speaker Albert E. Hill Thurs
day succeeded in getting a bill
passed through the senate pro
viding for the working of short
term convicts on the public road:

which is generally approved, is
as follows:
Section |. Be it enacted by
the general assembly of the state

where any person shall be con-
victed of a felony, and the jury

opinion that the offence merits a
punishment of five years or less,
the court, in it's discretion, may
order said person confined in the
county workhouse for the term
of such sentence; provided. that
the trial Judge shall have the
power to order the removal of
the prisoner from the county
workhouse to the penitentiary

are being treated in a brutal or
inhuman manner, or when it
shall appear to him that the
physical condition of the prison
er is such that working on the
roads is deleterious to his health.

acted, that all prisoners so SEN
fenced shall be worked on the
county roads under the supervi-
sion of the county road commits

sary expense incurred for keep
ing and caring for same.

acted, that all laws and parts of
laws in conflict with the provi-
sions of this act be, and the same
are hereby, repealed.
