HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE

AS much if not more, credit
should be given to our townsman,
Mayor Fred N. Tate for the great
victory North Carolina achieved in
freight rates and concessions. He,
as president. of the Just Freight
Rate Association was in the thickest
of the fight and performed. we dare
say, more hard, real work than any
one else and we feel that victory
would not perch on our State ban
ner, had it not been for Mr.. Tate
Justice demands this, a prompt rec

Budget Foes Balk
Woodward s Plans
For Extra Sessions

Mayor Woodward's plan of calling
the Council together every day until
some agreement on the budget Is
reached was blocked Saturday when
members of Council looked up the law
and found no further action could be
taken on the budget until the next
regular meeting, which will be on the
first Monday in March.
The law is that when the Alder
manic Board fails to concur in the
action of the Council the result must
be reported back at the next regular
meeting of the Council.
The Aldermen preventing the pas
sage of the budget announced Satur-
day they would give to the Sunday
papers a written statement Of their
position. The statement promises 10
throw some interesting light on city

HOTEL MAN
ENDS LIFE
BY ACID
Arrest for Quarrel With Drunken
Man Preyed on the Mind Of
G. w. BreedIove.

G. w. Breedlove. proprietor of the
Pryor Hotel. opposite the Union Sta
ton, committed suicide Saturday in
the corridor of the hotel by drinking
carbolic acid. His arrest the night
before by Detectives Webb and Har-
per on the charge of disorderly con-
duct is believed to have preyed on
his mind. A few minutes before he
was to appear before Recorder
Broyles, he drank the acid.
He had been talking with George
Burbage genially for some time when
he glanced at the clock. He excused
himself for moment and went to
his room. AS he came again into
the corridor he swallowed the pol
son. He was dead when the Grady
ambulance arrived.
Quarreled With Drunken Man.
His arrest was due to quarrel he
had with drunken man Friday night.
The man had accused him Of stealing
$40.
Breedlove appeared worried after
ward and said:
IF they convict me, i can die with
clear conscience" Immediately be-
fore his conversation with Burbage
he was in his office joking with the
guests. Leaving them ne said he
was going to retire. having stayed
up all night in the absence of his
night clerk. He met Burbage In the
hall and told him he had something
to say to him Burbage told him
to have a drink with him, but he
declined.
Exclainns, "I'nn a Dead Man.
He went into his room and in a
few seconds came out, exclaiming,
I'm dead man, Burbage" A SER
want caught him and carried him to
his room, where he died.
Breedlove is survived by four
daughters, two of them employed at
local telephone exchange. The
others are Mrs. c. e. Cochran and
Mrs Walker who live on the out
skirts of the city. He also is sur
vived by a son.

Waters Says Improvements Grand
Jury Urges Will Be Made as
Soon as Possible. !

An evidence of the salutary eff
feet of the exposure Of convict
camp conditions published in
The Georgian and of the recon-
mendations made in the Grand
Jury presentment. appeared
Saturday in the statement of
Tull G.. Waters, chairman of the
County Commissioners, that the
Board would make the improve
ments asked for by the Grand
Jury and would institute many
Of the reforms as early as posi-.
BILE.
II have written to obtain joint
meeting OF the County Board with the
State Prison Commission" said Mr..
Waters Il believe all important
changes should be indorsed in con-
ference OF the two bodies
"As soon as the methods for carry
ing into effect the reforms asked for
by the Grand Jury can be decided
upon. the changes in conditions will
be made.
New Official Not Settled On.
THE County Commission. believe,
Is willing to agree with the members
OF the Grand Jury that the position
OF county superintendent should be
made two offices-caunty superinten-
dent and county warden, the latter to
have the care and control OF the pris-
oners.
"'rhe commissioners have settled
upon no one to fill the new office to
be created We have had dozen
applications or more. most OF them
capable men. Among the candidates
are o. A. Mann. a South Georgia war
den. and James DeLong. a local con-
tractor.
MY personal opinion is that the
reform can be instituted without the
removal OF the Donaldsons from the
county service. l have vet to be con-
vinced that their alleged sinister in
fuence in the administration OF the
countys affairs has not been greatly
distorted and misrepresented. That.
however, is a matter to receive tfle
serious consideration of the commits
sion members"
To Decide on Donaldsons.
The conference between the mem
bers OF the two commissions prob
ably will take place early next week.
The disposition Of the Donaldsons--
g H. and Captain T. J.-probably
will be decided at this meeting, al
though formal action will rest with
the county board alone.
Upon Captain Donaldson was
placed much of the blame for the
tortures and crueltiesj inflicted upon
convicts by guards and bosses. He
was said in the, Grand Jury present
ment to have built up political ma
chine during the more than twenty
years he had been county superin
tendent and to have exercised a ma
lign domination over county affairs.
The foggings given to prisoners
were said to have passed unnoticed,
or even TO have been encouraged by

MUST BENEFIT ALL
National Banks See Wisdom of
New Currency Law.
Practically All the Big Financial In
stltutions Of the Country Have
Accepted It as a Worthy
Reform Measure.

Ninety-nine per cent of the national
banks of the United States, represent
ing 99% per cent OF the national
banking capital of the country, have
accepted President Wilson's currency
and reserve law.
1t is the biggest triumph ever scored
by reform measure In America.
What makes 1t greater is the fact that
these banks came in voluntarily; they
we're not dubbed. No one swung a
big stick over their heads. No one
denounced the banker who hesitated
about renewing his national charter
as malefactor of great wealth.
The states stood ready to license
any worthy institution which did not
like the new law, and in this connec-
tion it should be borne in mind that
majority OF the banking capital of
this country is held by state banks.
Yet without any legal, moral or finan-
cial compulsion, with an easy and
profitable alternative open to them,
practically all the national banks of
the land have accepted the law which
many of them we're wildly denouncing
few months ago.
The explanation of this change OF
front is simple-but not very hatter-
ing to high fnanciers.
The Wilson currency law was drawn
for the benefit of the entire nation.
Therefore, it benefits bankers, too; but
for time they could not see this.
The big financial powers have grown
80 used to seeing their will written
into law at Washington that they re-
sented the idea of having laws Inn
posed on them by mere president
and congress, They wanted meas
ure which took care of high finance
first and of the country afterward,
and it graveled them beyond measure
to find themselves rated merely as
also present in the list of interests to
be served by the new law.
Closer study has convinced them
that the financial liberty and security
guaranteed by the federal reserve law
is the best possible basis for sound
and profitable banking-and they have
acted accordingly. Perhaps next time
they will not be so hard to convince.

There may be some relaxation of

sufficient reason can be shown for ex-

dents position on the general question
of the reformed civil service, In con-

well defined to admit any possibility

The Quadrennial announcements OF

affirmation in convention was final

policy that might reach an acute stage

mittees on resolutions to be little
