CHANGING is
NOW CHAINLESS
Warden Sirmons Works Prisoners
Without Shackles. Has Record
For Few Escapes,

For the first time in its history there
is not a prisoner in the Terrell county
changing who is shackled. Warden
w. H. Sirmons, who assumed the du-
ties of that position here two months
ago, has removed the chains and irons
from every convict, and to say that
the men are delighted expresses it
mildly.
1t has been the policy of Warden
Sirmons, who has been connected
with the penitentiary department of
the state since convicts were first put
at work on the roads, not to keep the
prisoners under him in shackles, and
no warden in the state has record
for fewer escapes. He has seldom lost
a man.
Mr.. Sirmons says the men are bet
ter satisfied without chains, and he
gets more and better work from them.
He provides for them we'll, treats them
humanely and requires full measure
of work, which they invariably give,

STATE TREASURY RAID
TO AID CITY PEOPLE
Facts Of Vital Interest to
Everybody in Georgia
Bonded Debt of State And
Counties May Exceed
$15O,OOO, 100000

The Constitution of Georgia imposes
restrictions on the debt creating au-
thority of the State, it's counties and
municipalities. These restrictions
were decreed for the protection Of the
property owner, the wage. Garner and
the farmer, against the plausible
schemer whose smooth words and half
truths might cajole the public into
lending the public credit to disastrous
centuries. In their wisdom tn q
framers of the Constitution knew
that public administration of private
business was never successful. There
lore they wrote into the C5nstituticnr.

Rssue bones except for state purposes;
that cities and towns and counties
should not exceed what they fixed as
safe limits in mourning debt; and
Rhen bonds were issued such per-
Rentage of voters should authorize
fhem as would without any doubt dis
klose the sentiment of the people.
Not EquaIed By Carpet-Baggers
Now, to help the Municipal League
~ Georgia, raid the Treasury of the
plate, all of these restrictions must be
swept aside and Georgia and its towns
nd counties must plunge into unre-
GRAINED and unrestricted bond issues,
mounting to hundreds of millions OF
pillars. The total amount Of the
aonds authorized by the negro legisla-
pres IN reconstruction days was but a
2agatelle when compared with this
proposed raid on the Treasury of the
tate, and the arguments put forth at
pat time in favor of these bonds were

The most enjoyable occasion OF the

came from hooks and corners from
Preston to Dawson-yes, Macon and
Manchester were represented. The

table for them. | thought once | would

moved little. | sure took advantage
of that move, and held on for dear
life. I guess some saw the situation as

however. The colors were pink and
white. The center piece was large,
white cake, and present from one OF
his nieces, with From Pearl to I'm
Gle William" traced in pink. 1t was
sure pretty. l think every one was
sorry for that table, the way they
sought to relieve it of its burden. In
all the throng there were only one
widow and one widower excepting a
grass widower, in so much as he had
left his wife in Manchester while he
was in South Georgia prospecting.
His nose led him to the right place,
and from his looks he was successful
in getting what he was after. Among
Mr.. Hasty's presents there must have
been a peculiar one, as he was all
smiles. Said he sure was going to INK
somebody Christmas. The most at
tractive feature, of the occasion was
the numerous babies, despite the de,
NAL of two old bachelors who had
ewes only for girls over sixteen. In
the afternoon we had music. Some
carried on progressive conversation
some exhibited babies and some went
to the movies. Between 3 and 4 o'clock
all began leaving for home, with pleas
ant memories, hoping for many more
happy birthdays for Mr.. Hasty.
We understand a great calamity has
befallen Miss Stella Fletcher. Not long
since a calf attempted to cross the
Dit which was covered with cloth
and filled with flowers and ferns; top
gave way and the result was d1sas--

fallen in good place if not soft one.
But the many flowers disappeared!
Brother Inhnger, our new pastor;
conducted the services at the chapel

know every one was favorably i'm
pressed and hope all will cooperate

December Gem Imports
Total Diamond Receipts Amount
To Sh.720.ll2

The report OF the Department of
Commerce for December shows little
diminution in the amount of gems
taken by the American people. In all
the imports of the month, which are
usually very small amounted to $780,
112. Of that amount the value of the
rough or uncut stones is given as S2,-
199.733 and the value of the cut stones
$4520,379.
The bulk of the imports came from
England, namely S2,116,276. to which
were added $32,818 from France and
s440 from the Netherlands, while d.
rect shipments of round from South
Africa amounted to S6O,195.
AS far as the cut stones are con-
cerned Amsterdam holds its pre-
eminent place, the importations from
that country being given as $3,895, ,752,
while England comes next, with ex-
ports of S250,730. That Antwerp did
not produce many of our cut stones in
December is shown from the fact that
the total amount received from Bel
gium was $195.532. France produced
s163844 in cut diamonds. To these fig
ures were added $4,095 received from
Switzerland and $78S from Turkey.
No cut or rough diamonds were re-
ceived from Brazil during the month,
but cut diamonds to the amount of
$9,637 were received from South Africa

played conspicuous part in the
domestic hide market of late, and some
buyers contend that prices may go as
much as 10 cents lower, while the
leather situation has recently de-
veloped clear signs of weakness.
The side upper leather market was
steady last week with more actual sales
put through. Manufacturers of mems
footwear were liberal purchasers and
some fairly large stocks changed hands
portions, with leather resembling calf
selling we'll and bringing firm prices.
Colors were the best sellers, although
some tanners advise that blacks moved
more actively. The top grades of leather
sold readily while the cheaper selections
were in poor demand. Top selections Of
colored sides could be purchased for ST.,
although few good grades were put on
sale at 80 to 95 cents Black sides sold
on the top selections at 90 cents, with
some tanners asking IS cents for their
best qualities. The lower grades were
listed at IS to 10 cents. Combination
and bark tanned leather closed firm at
AZ to 65 cents q foot. Buck sold well
and colors could be bought for $1.25 for
the top grades.

dropped off alarmingly. Stocks on hand
are not as large as few weeks ago,
as shoes have been unloaded and on
their way to retail stores as fast as
they were received from the manu-
facturers. Most wholesalers in and
around New York continued to make
a very determined effort to rid their
floors of four-inch vamps in both
boots and oXfcrds, and to date they
have been but slightly rewarded for
their pains, as the demand continues
for the shorter vamps. The demand
for chldren's shoes dropped off con-
siderably. There are quite few who
believe the recent advances in prices
are responsible to a certain extent for
the falling off in demand. Others be-
lieve that the campaign that is being
waged by fair price agitators is having
its effect and that the general public
is actually economizing.

Money Probably Safer in Bank
Is Fearful of Contagion

Question-Will you kindly tell me briefly
what kind of investment the Hudson & Man.
haitian refunding IS of 1857 is? Is the COM
pany strong financially and is it in any
that has afflicted the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
and others? If want to buy ten-year
per cent bond at 90 what ia the simplest
method of finding the yield if held ten years
to maturity &C. McH.
Answer-The Hudson & Manhattan
refunding per cent bonds are secured
by first lien on part of the Hudson
tunnels and a second lien on another
part and on the Hudson Terminal
Building. The bond is not high grade,
but has always paid its interest and
there has been a margin left over. The
company is not strong financially. 1t
Is passenger carrier only, which gives
1t somewhat limited scope. Under
the new railroad legislation it will not
enjoy the benefits, if there are to be
any, which other roads will enjoy. We
see no immediate prospect of the COM
pany finding itself in the same family
with Brooklyn Rapid Transit and such
others. Nevertheless, the margin of
earnings over necessary expenditures is
not such as to warrant great deal of
enthusiasm. A security at 90, paying
s per cent, yields 5.55 per cent on a
straight income basis. The difference
between 90 and par 90 points) spread
over the number of years the bond has
TO run is 10 per cent, or 10 per cent per
year, added to the 5.55 per cent equals
500 per cent If held until maturity.
This is not strictly accurate, as COM
pounding of interest should be con-
sidered. but it is accurate enough for
the average investor
