fight in the conference Of Democratic
Senators on the currency bill CEN
tered upon the section providing for
the insurance of deposits in the re-
gional reserve banks. Senator john
Sharp Williams served notice that he
would try to force this provision
through.
Location of the regional reserve
banks to be established by the new
currency bill be anne a matter OF
pressing Importance to-day. The in
sistence of Senator Hoke Smith and
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, that the
territory tributary to atlanta would
not do business with a regional bank
at New Orleans may force the Goa
ference, at least informally, to outline
districts and locations Tor the banks.
The decision - the conference,
when it gives its final approval to the
BILL probably will be accepted as
binding by all but one or two Demo
Gratis, and the measure will be taken
up in the Senate again Monday un-
der circumstances expected to bring
about it's early Massage.

CAMP

A tale as remarkable as any
that ever graced the pages of fic-
ton was told to the police by W.
E. Lee, 20 years old, and Jack
Pollard, % years old, VINO were
arrested by Policeman Bell as
they stepped from a Decatur car
at Edgewood avenue and Pryor
street Friday morning, after es-
Gaping from q convict camp at
Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County,
and walking through the coun-
try to Decatur, where they
caught a car to Atlanta.
I'VE were not trying to run away"
they said. I'VE were going back just
as soon as we accomplished our mis-
sion to Atlanta, We ran away from
the camp and came here to appear
before the Prison Commission and ask
for a transfer from Lawrenceville TO
another camp where we would get
better treatment.
I'VE are willing to serve out on
sentences, but we would like to serve
them in some other convict camp
and under some other warden than
F. C. Davis, who has charge Of the
Lawrenceville camp"
Police Seek Hearing for Them.
The police we're impressed with the
stories of Pollard and Lee, and Cap
tain Poole consented to telephone
Chairman Davidson, of the Prison
Commission, and ask him to give the
convicts an audience at police head
quarters, when they will place their
troubles before him
Neither Lee nor Pollard makes any
charges of brutality or mistreatment
against Wraden Davis. 1t is the little
circumstances, the things that can
not be definitely classed as mistreat
ment, that they claim makes life un-
bearable in the Lawrenceville camp.
There are twelve men in the Law
renceville camp" said Pollard, land
none of them likes Warden Davis and
none of them can get along with him.
He takes us out to work before sun
rise and doesn't bring us back to
camp until after dark-sometimes a
long while after dark. He's always
nagging at us, and there are hun
dreds of little things that happen that
make our lives there miserable. We
know we can't have everything we
want, being convicts, but we think we
are entitled to almost a fair deal"
Lee and Pollard told the police
that they had worn the undershirts
they had on their backs for three
weeks, without having an opportunity
to have them washed.
Both Long Term Men.
IT'S a case either of wearing them
that long or wearing some wooden
things that scratch and torment us so
we can not work. And when we stop
work to scratch ourselves, the guards
get down on us and life is harder
than ever"
Pollard has served seven years of
a twenty-year sentence, having been
convicted in Clayton County for the
killing of q man named William
White Lee was sentenced for life
for the killing of Jack Chappelle in
Coweta County, and has served three
years and three months.
I'VE stood the Lawrenceville camp
as long as we could" said Pollard.

couldn't do something about II. Both
of us were TRUSTEES, and there wasn't
much difficulty in getting away. We
left the camp at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and walked through the
country all night, reaching Decatur
early Friday morning. We didn't have
any intention Of escaping, and had
made no effort to dispose Of our con-

cres,-fallen over the lack of interest
of some Of our people when it comes
to contributing TO the success of an
enterprise as important as a public
exhibition of the progress of the
county. The quality of the exhibits
were of high type equal to the best

The floral parade was grand.
Several of the floats showed the ar
list hand and made pictures upon
,ur mind that will linger. The Ad-
ter,iser's ship was symbolic of safe
transportation of the welfare and
moral uplift of lier people for near
" hundred years. Several other
floats were very pretty but as we
did not understand their significance \
we are not competent to comment.
Our visit to the fair was an occa-
sion fraught with much pleasure.
We met relatives. friends and ac-
quaintances that make you love the
earth and the inhabitants thereof.

Red Cross Seal Commission of
South Carolina.

Columbia, S. G, Nov. lo.-The
work of the Red Cross Seal Com
mission is prospering. A report
from the central office in Columbia
states that fifty agents in all parts
of the State have signi6ed thei-
willingness to assist in distributing
the Christmas Seals in their Com
munilies. This Is the result Of only
one months work, and the commit
tee feels much encouraged at the
sympathetic cooperation shown ON
all sides. During November it Is
expected that over fifty more agents
will he secured, thus guaranteeing
that in practically every important
town and city in South Carolina
the fight against Tuberculosis will
he waged. Everywhere people are
awakening to the fact that fubercu'
losis is prevpntable disease, and
can hence be stamped out by wise
and energetic preventative measures.
It is a useless sacrifice to allow up
wards of 2UO0 people to die every
year when this grcstdrain upon The
S; ;ate's resources and citizenship
could be almost entirely stopped.
Early plans for All energetic sell
ing and publicity campaign have
already been m sde in haileston,
Columbia, Sparlanburg, and Or
angeburg. Large supplies Of Christ
mas Seals and advertising matter
have been shipped to these cities
The office in Columbia is now EN-
gagged in sending material To the
other towns where agents have been
secured. Both Georgia and Nurlh
Carolina are putting on state vide
sale of ths Seals, and it Is hoped
that South Carolina will make u
favorable showing in this matter
with her sister 8. ates.
