This week Mr.. Mahon chairman of the
board of education of this city receiv-
ed a personal letter from Governor
Hanna which stated that after giving
consideration to the signed petitions he
had received from Langdon and other
towns affected by the high school appro.
prlation bill passed by the state legis-
lature, he had withdrawn his veto. The
bill called for an appropriation ofS75,OOO
for the high schools of the state and as
Langdon has a high school of the first
class grade, the governors veto would
have meant the withdrawal of $500 that
would have been brought as a direct
burden to Langdon taxpayers, who just
at present are carrying about all the
excess baggage they can stand in the
way of taxes. The petition did some
good after all.

BUMPER COTTON

Cold type and figures don't tell you
much about the cotton crop that Geor
gia is marketing just now.
But the lively term, embargo" with
its semi warlike tang, may warm up

Atlanta, which is the object of reg
ular cotton embargo" ordered Sun
day by the Southern Railway.
There simply was too much cotton
to handle. 1t was coming Zoo fast.
On the tracks of Atlanta yards Tues
day morning were 500 cars, crammed
with Cotton--60 to So bales In every
car-nearly 10000 bales
In The vast Atlanta warehouses of
the Atlantic Compress Company was
nearly as much more cotton, await
ing it's turn under the presses to H.
it for export.
Atlanta was crammed with cotton
the early part of this week. The "ern-
barge" was the only remedy,
Embargo 10 Put On.
So the embargo went on Sunday
morning. Orders were issued In the
most impartial manner that the
Southern Railway agents should not
accept cotton from connecting lines
at any point for shipment to Atlanta;
that they should not accept cotton
even from the little dealers at the
small stations for shipment to At
lanta.
They might divert it. by agreement
with the shipper TO Macon or to Sa-
vsnnah. where the big plants of the
Atlantic Compress Company are still
naging to keep up with the game.
But not to Atlanta Atlanta was
submerged by a prodigious tidal wave
OF the prosperity on which rides
crest Of the great white staple.
w. l.. Peel, Of the American Ma
tional Bank, and a keen observer OF
big business, laughed a little in sheer
good humor as he talked of the en-
barge this morning.
Banks Can Handle Crop.

OF the South are in the tittest condl-
ton Of their history to handle tins

WAYS are swamped. The crop is
bumper crop, and the price. instead OF
falling off, has held up so that every
body is marketing his cotton as fast
as it can be ginned. Big times IN

PRISON CHARGES
UPHELD BY MAN
JUST FREED

Reiterating his charges made Mon
day against Warden Meyer and con-
ditions at the Federal penitentiarv,
w. +. Burtlebaugh, formerly No. $500
at that institution, in letter TO The
Georgian, received Tuesday, detailed
the prison cruelties he declared were
being endured by the men there.
Burtlebaugh, whose home is q Oak
man, Ala, cited as his authority his
q months penal servitude when
ended with his release last Sunday.
In his letter ne commended Julian
Hawthorne, the novelist, and DR.. j.
w. Morton, the New York physician,
on their action in denouncing the
warden upon their release some weeks
ago. He coroborated their senss-
tional charges
Defends Dismissed Guards.
Burtlebaugh came out strongly in
defense OF the prison guards who
have been dismissed by Meyer on
charges of melting the prisoners to
riot. He declared his statements
were made for the cause OF justice
and humanity.
Many times when | left the dining
room OF the prison to return to my
cell | was so weak from lack OF food
that l could not work, and was forced
Mr.. Burtlebaugh's letter asserts.
There would be nothing to eat 0ut
greens, dry bread and salt pork. Plep-
~ OF sand from the earth was cooked
with the green's, which were never
thoroughly, washed. Day in and day

"A young fellow named Gibreatn,
from Kentucky, complained to the
prison doctor that he could no. eat
the fare any longer He was thrown
into the hole for fifteen days. The
time prisoner spends in the hole
or dungeon is added to his term.
Il read in the paper where several
guards were dismissed on charges OF
encouraging the prisoners to become
riotous. There must be some mis-
take about that, for during my time
in the prison | never knew OF any
thing OF this kind. Not one OF them
ever approached me for that purpose.

zone Of the worst features OF Moy-
ers administration happened recent
~. A prisoner named Anderson sued
out writ OF habeas corpus before
Judge Newman, asking for his release
on the claim that he was doing two
five-year terms on one crime.
Attorney Lamar Hill was his law
yer. Judge Newman ordered the man
discharged, but no sooner was the or
DER given than Meyer appealed the
case to the Federal Court of Appeals
at New Orleans. and Judge Newman's
decision was set aside.
This simply showed that Meyer
was not friend OF the prisoners. II
went long way toward placing dis
trust OF their warden into the prison
ers hearts Mover never made an
explanation of his action, and so the
men there could only believe it was
due to malice.
