NOT To EMPLOY
OUTSIDE HELP
Warden Girardeau Is Called by
Board to Explain Hiring of
Guard From Gwinnett,
EIGHT DRIVERS DISCHARGED
Investigation TO Be Made Of
Their Cases-May Be Given
Old Places.

County Warden c. a. Girardeau
was called before the public works
committee of the County Commission
Saturday to explain why he had au-
thorized Deputy Warden w. B. Hob
son. in charge of the Adamsville
camp, to employ guard from Gwin-
nett County when there are availa-
BILE men for the place in Fulton
County.
The question was asked by General
C. L. Anderson, chairman of the
committee.
Mr. Girardeau retorted that the
Commission itself had established the
precedent when it brought Mr.. Hob
son himself here from Gwinnett
County. Commissioner Waters ex-
.plained that Hobson was hired at
the suggestion of the State Prison
Board while convict matters were in
an unsettled state on account Of the
Grand Jury probe of the conditions
of the camps. He added that in the
future the Commission would see to
it that only Fulton County men we're
employed where they are available.
To Probe Discharge of Drivers.
Mr. Waters suggested that an in
vestigation probably would be made
into the discharge of eight drivers at
the Adamsville camp about a month
ago by Deputy Warden Hobson. He
said if it developed that the men
were discharged without cause the
Commission would insist that they be
reinstated.
Warden Girardeau said that when
Hobson went to the camp to succeed
Clyde Thomson, discharged by rec
ommendation of the Grand Jury he
found most of the guards antagonis-
tic to him and that he employed the
Gwinnett County man so that he
could be sure of having one loyal as
sistant under him. When Hobson dis
charged one of the drivers eight 9TH
ers went on a sympathetic strike he
Said.
Places Filled by ConViets.
Their places were filled by convicts
st the camp and the strikers notified
that they were no longer in the en-
ploy of the county. Later, about
week ago, the convicts were put back
at their regular work by order Of
Superintendent of Public Works 81
Donaldson and free white labor en-
gagged in their places
General Anderson seemed to be a
bit peeved about Warden Hobson's
actions in hiring the Gwinnett man
and discharging the drivers, and an
nounced that he would take the first
opportunity to inform him that here
after he would receive instructions
relative to engaging and discharging
men from the Superintendent of Pub
lie Works and from Warden Girar-
deau as to the treatment of the con-.
victs
Warden Girardeau reported that
the guards and drivers have way
of cursing the convicts and that he
meant to see it stopped.

Editor Herald, Durango:
At meeting of the town council
last evening the newly-elected board
qualified and will be installed in Of
flee next Wednesday, the 18th.
The following resolution was in
troduced and passed with only one
dissenting vote:
Resolved, That this board 90 on
record as standing ready to extend a
hearty welcome to any legitimate in
stiution that may locate in our midst,
be it commercial, educational, or
otherwise having for its purpose the
upbuilding of Pennington; and we do
especially welcome such institutions
as the Baker Trading company,
late and extensive Wholesale grocery
concern which has chosen Farming
ion as its abiding place.
We have heard with regret, and de-
plore an incident said to have oc-
'urred at their place Of business last
Monday, through what we believe to
oe misguided impulse and superficial
emotions Of few Of our fellow citi-
zens; and in humiliation do apologize
to said firm on behalf of the town of
Pennington for said semi-lawless in
'ident; Furthermore, we would have
'aid firm know, that acts of lawiess-
iess or impositions upon any firm or
individual have no abiding place
among our law and fair play loving
people.
Farmers of our county all agree
that the prospect for heavy crop
vas never better.

DR.. MCfwen Writes
from San Diego

Most any place around the San
Diego vicinity, about April L, 1914.
Being anxious to determine wheth-
er our acumen was acute enough to
differentiate between an insurrecto
and federal, we went TO Old Mexi-
co, that part of it known as Lower
California, today, but as all gave US
the same grim, savage look, making
one realize that he was a suspected
thief, there for the purpose of steal
ing territory, we did not tarry long,
having heard that the Mexican jails
are very unsanitary.
Just before crossing the line we
passed through "The Little Lander's
colony" society claiming one acre
is enough land for any family, but
from the poor quality of the soil and
the evident poor farming, I suspect
they do not live we'll.
We had splendid dinner in Mexico
at Chinese restaurant, but the Chin
ese cook, when queried said he cook
ed in Mexican.
Curiosity led some OF the ladies Of
our party to go pretty close to the
fort, we men bringing up the rear
but when we were within one hundred
yards, the soldiers" ;notioned us tc
go back.
The officers were dressed in white
and the troops in kahki, from this VIC
inferred there were four officers tc
each three privates. The general
honored us by taking dinner at tn,
same restaurant, that is, we inferred
from his dignified mein that was tn.
construction he put upon it.
The fort is a modern ornamental
adobe building, in fact is just being
built, it being formerly breastworI
of earth, waist deep. We were un
able to learn whether the soldiers
were federal or insurrecto, but ther,
was no fighting today. Several hun
dred refugees are camped on this sid
Of the line under the protection o
the United States. These people
