"Atlanta, Ga., Special.- Just at mid
night Saturday night Governor Hoke
Smith signed the convict lease bill
which hereafter prohibits the leasing
of felons except by the consent of
the Governor and prison commission.
The bill was passed by the Legis
lature Saturday after $35,000 had
been spent in an extra session, and
nearly a month used in discussing
the legislation. With the signature
of Govenor Smith on the bill as en
grossed, Georgia has done away with
a system which has been in exist
ence ever since 1865.
It was to settle this convict lease
question that Governor Smith called
a special session of the Legislature
He desired that the lease system be
absolutely abolished and the bill as
passed provides that there will be no
leasing of convicts to any contractor
for private gain. It is said these con
tractors have made thousands of dol
lars out of convict labor in' Georgia
in the last forty years, men being
leased to them at $100 a piece with
the proviso of board and sleeping
quarters.
In the investigation which led to
the present legislation there was con
siderable testimonv to the effect that
negro convicts had been whipped by
overseers, that in several cases the
abuse had resulted in the death of
men under the control of the lessee.
When the Georgia Legilature as
sembled a month ago to consider the
question of convict labor, Governor
Smith announced that he desired all
traces of the lease sysem to be erad
icated. The House and Senate disa
greed as to how this should be ac
complished. The Senate insisted that
there should be no leasing after
March 31 next. The House wanted
the lease system extended to 1911.
rinally, however, House and Senate
compromised on a measure which
permits the use by the State of any
convicts not used on State roads, nor
by municipalities, nor in State insti
tutions. These men may be used as
the prison commission and Governor
sees fit, but as a close friend of Gov
ernor Smith said when it was sug
gested this provision might have
a "joker." "Governor Smith, vou
may be sure, is totally opposed to
leasing convicts to private individ
uals and will never consent to any
leases or this. kind. The kase system
is dead. '
OCTOBER IS THE BEST TIME TO
START A GARDEN.
Work in the Fall Means a Long and
Glorious Season Next Year.
In October, when leaves and flowers
are dyincr, when Nature is closing her
eyes for her lone sleep, it is only those i
of experience who cry: "This is tho
best time to start a garden."
There is always a setback to a gar
den started in the spring, becaus il
is not lone enough from tb mo
growth begins until the hour of bfoom
to give many plants their full chance
to expand before sending forth their
flowers. A plant must almost reach
maturity before it blooms, which in
deed it only does that it may form seed
and thus perpetuate itself to poster
ity. To start a gardeu early is often
the secret of success. 1
By preparing the beds and borders
in the autumn, differing them out about
two feet deep, placing inverted sod
in the bottom and finally filling them
up with layers of manure, light soil
and top-dressing, much time is saved
in the spring, when the irresistible
not-a-mmute-to-lose feeling is in the
air. Besides, there is something about
a well-settled bed that flowers like
better than one that is quite new. If
in the spring these autumn-prepared
beds require extra mulching or ferti
lizing, it is a matter that is very eas
ily attended to.
When the beds and borders are
made, fne garden should be cleared of
all surplus material. The roots of
strong weeds should be lifted, and a
light dressing of manure spread over
the places that are destined to be lawn
the following spring. The October
