Good Roads by Convict Labor Boost Georgia County
A Georgia county touts Bibb style road work using convict labor as a model for 1871 reforms. The plan, praised for yielding turnpike roads sufficient for travel year round, highlights savings on mule and wagon wear and argues other counties should adopt it. The piece also reflects on European unrest and local notices about homestead laws, fires, and farming challenges.
