years ago from Atlanta that the
school facilities for negroes were tar
ahead Of those Tor white children, but
am more convinced OF the advan-
tages OF the children OF the sons of
Ham in the educational line since l.
have seen more of the city. Maynif-
cent brick buildings, erected with
northern money. are seen on nearly
every nromontory surrounding the

nC advantage of the splendid oppor-
tunit!es Afforded and many of them
are credits totheir race. The white
schools here are first class and a
sheepskin from the high school is a
valuable possession. BY the way. the

roads every month in the year that
the weather will permit Each com

roads in good condition and in many
of the cities they work the streets. A
convict here grew tired of the daily
toll and deliberately chopped one OF
ais hands of. He was sent TO the pen
itentiary hospital for brief period
Jut Just as soon as he was able TO
get out he was made water carrier.
Verify. the life of a Georgia convict is
one that none envies.
