BRUTAL BOSSES

ROTTEN FOOD IS FURNISHED
Horrible Story Of Fulton
County Camps

Atlanta, Jan. 3O.-Chairman s. B.
Rurman of the Fulton county board Of
commissioners asks the state and the
public at large to suspend judgment on
the charges of extreme cruelty made
against the bosses of the Fulton coun-
ty convict camp, until full investiga
ton can be made and all the facts as
certained.
The sensational disclosures made to
the grand jury may be probed, and, ii
necessary the state prison board as
we'll as the codnty board will take part
in the investigation.
The grand jury investigation re-
suited directly in the indictment of a
boss named Clyde Thomson, for as
sault with intent to murder, CROWN 3
out of the charge that Thomson had
shot a chained prisoner.
The Georgia Prison Reform associa-
ton aided in bringing other evidence
before the grand jury, and eight con
yicts, in their stripes, were ushereI
before the body to tell a lurid story OF
almost unbelievable cruelty. They de-
clared that they were fed on decayed
food, with worms in the rice and
greens; that convicts who are too i'll
to work are brutally fogged until they
faint from the torture.
Nothing from the pens of Gorky and
Talstoi describing the torture of pris-
oners in Russian Siberia is more hor-
rible than some of the stories the cor
victs told before the grand jury.

BOOK TRUST IS

TURNED upon IT
STRENUOUS Fight is WAGED
To Defeat Trust in Interest
Of Cheaper Books

Atlanta, Jan. 30.-Representative
Grover c. Edmondson Of Brooks coun-
~, Is turning the search-lignr of inves-
LEGATION upon the school book situa-
ton in Georgia, He has just issued a
statement arraigning the state school
book commission and criticizing the
last session of the legislature for not
taking action against what he charac-
terizes as the school book trust"
Mr.. Edmondson calls attention to
the resolution passed by the Farmers
Union, condemning the surrender of
the legislature to the school book
trust, and declares that the people as
whole are just beginning to realize
how the legislature up to now has
failed in it's duty in that regard.
Mr. Edmondson expresses the ardent
hope that the next legislature will
make proper provision for the state to
have published as cheaply as possible
a proper set of school books to be
furnished at cost to the children.
Mr. Edmondson does not take a pes
semistic view of the future. He de-
clares that he last legislature did not
literally surrender to the school book
trust but that political cunning pre-
vented any useful action.

Weber Smith
BROUGHT AGAIN
AMERICAS HOME
AFTER ABSENCE five MONTHS
Victim Of Serious Accident
at Dawson

Recovering partially from horrible
burns inflicted by live electric wires
amid which he was entangled consid-
cradle time before terrified spectators
below could rescue him from his posi-
ton of imminent peril, Mr.. Weber
Smith, a we'll known Americas cleo
trician, returned here yesterday FROM
Dawson, where for five months he lay
upon his bed, swathed in bandages.
Mr. Smith is still far from well, but
is able to walk little with assistance.
His body shows the effect of the fires
where they burned deep down into the
flesh.
Electrician Smith, an employe of
the Dawson Telephone Co., was ad-
justing a wire upon a high pole Oh
September 5th last. Upon the same
pole were the wires of the electric
lighting company, and Mr.. Smith came
in contact with one of these wires. In
falling, he landed squarely astride the
seething live wire and was horribly
burned before his rescue could be eff
fected.
The young man held on to the wires
above determinedly, and directed the
work of rescue after the current had
been shut off at the electric plant. For
a long tim his life was despaired O
but his physician, Dr. w. S. Prathe",
took a fighting chance and brought
him to recovery though his body is
still badly SCARED where the electric
wires burned the flesh.
1t is said that while he sat upon
the wire, prior to being rescued his
clothing caught fire several times from
the electric current, thus adding to
tie agony endured by the youth sus-
pended in mid-air.
