Georgia Child Labor
Conditions Terrible,
Says A. ]. McKelway

DR.. A. j. McKelway. a nationally
famous Child Labor expert, passe1
through Atlanta Friday, en- route to
Washington from New Orleans, where
he has been attending a conference
on child labor Dr. McKelway com
mented vigorously on published ut
terances defending Georgia's child
labor laws, declaring that conditions
in this State are terrible.
Georgia is the last place on earth
that should defend her child labor
laws" said DR.. McKelway. Ten
year-old children are allowed to work
in the cotton mills of this State, a
condition that prevails nowhere else
in the country. The child labor laws
of Georgia are virtually no laws at
all, for all the GOOD they do.
"A defense OF the child labor laws
that are now on the statute books of
this State is a defense of child labor
of the practice of allowing little
children to work ten and twelve
hours a day in the cotton mills

Murder Is Dropped at Re-
quest Of the Solicitor.

James A. Harris, a 20-year convict,
caused something of a stir in the
Criminal Division of the Superior
Court Friday when, as a witness in
the case of Clyde A. Thomson. for
mer convict camp boss, on trial for
whipping a convict, he declared that
some of the evidence in favor of
Thomson had been manufactured
by Captain Tom Donaldson. former
" County Superintendent of Public
Works, Harris also declared that the
guards at the Adamsville camp and
some Of the county police with whom
he had come in contact since his inn
prisonment, were as fine a bunch Of
grafters' as he ever had met.
Thomson was on trial for the whip
ping of James Brannon. a convict. At
the conclusion OF this hearing another
case. charging assault to murder, will
be heard The former camp boss was
also charged with shooting James
Harris. the witness who accused Don
aldson OF framing" testimony
Thomson was found guilty on the
assault and battery charge and at the
request of the request of the Solicit
tor the indictment for assault with
intent to murder was quashed Mr..
Dorsey said he did not think the in
dfctment could be prosecuted on ac-
count of the character of the com
planning convict and certain clrcum-
stances that had been explained to
him.
Judge Hill imposed a fine OF 5000
or twelve months Imprisonment on
the convicted boss.
Ask Indictments Be Quashed.
Ben Conyers and Luther Rosser, Sr..
attorneys representing Thomson, at
the beginning Of the hearing Friday
moved to quash the indictment on
the ground that Philip Weltner, sec
rotary Of the Prison Reform Associa-
ton. was in the Grand Jury room at
the time the charges against Thoma-
son we're being investigated and that
Weltner practically conducted the
prosecution there The attorneys
contended that Weltner had no au-
thority there and that because of his
activity in the matter the true bill
was not legal.
Mr.. Woltner admitted on the wit
ness stand that he was In the Grand
Jury room at the time OF the inves-
tigation, but said he was not there
at the time the Indictment was drawn.
He said he aided the Grand Jury in .ts
recent probe OF the convict camps, and
that the case of Thomson came up in
the course Of the general investigl-
ton
Judge Ben Hill overruled the mo-
ton to quash the indictment.
Lashed for critieisins Boss"
Brannon was the first witness
called by the State. He said that he
had been dashed by Thomson on De-
cember 10. 1918, because on the day
before he had said. after witnessing
the shooting Of Harris, "Oh, God You
murdered that man. and it was a cruel
and cowardly murder" Following
this assertion, he said that Thomason
threatened 10 get even.
William Flynn a convict, who wit
messed the whipping OF Brannon.
when called by the State, said that
the lashing had been one Of the most

said that he was working in the yard
and heard Brannons cries for mercy.

c. F. VonHerrmann, weather fore

vo:ed by the dampness remaining
from the recent ram. Saturday will

temperature after midday, so that the
afternoon will not be unpleasantly

The thermometer shrank 10 80 de-

wave, however, will be felt Friday

(Mr VonHerrmann fancies) to switch
off the water where pipes are much
exposed TO the outside air.
The weather director feels reason
ably certain that this is the last kick
OF the dying winter, and is OF the
opinion that the frost will not do Sc

went TO the crib Of an infant daugh-
ter, where he stuck the knife in her
head. killing her instantly. Later he
pulled another child, a girl years
old. across the footboard of her little
bed and cut her throat with the same
knife
Not satisfied with the destruction
already wrought Eubanks lighted a
torch and set fire to every out build
ing and the Eubanks home, after
which he filled the well mouth full of
trash and destroyed the well bucket
and rope. so that no water could be
procured to stop the fires he had
started.
