GEORGIA STONE
FINDS MARKET
IN CHICAGO

Georgia stands a chance--a very
fair chance-to gain a big slice of the
500, 600 expended annually by Chi
cago on it's civic improvements and
street building and repairs.
Georgia might even land the whole
business 1t is now simply "a matter
of craftsmanship.
I'VE are satisfied on two points"
said Philip j. McKenna, attorney for
the Chicago improvements Commits
sion, members of which have been in
speeding the granite quarries at Lii
thonia. These points are: First,
that your Georgia granite comes up
to our specifications, and, second, that
there is plenty of It,"
Only One Rival.
After which Mr.. McKenna waXed
enthusiastic.
- don't know that l ever saw a
more impressive sight than Stone
Mountain the other morning, although
il was partly shrouded in mist" he
said.
Nov. I'll tip YOU off to this much:
Georgia at present has only two ri
walls in the Chicago granite market.
They are quarry companies in Wis
Consin.
"Of course they have the edge in
transportation but their quarrying is
done under vastly more expensive
conditions than that at Lithonla.
Just Make the Price Right.
They have TO pump the water out
OF deep quarries. and the handling of
the quarried product is under very
disadVantageous conditions.
AS | said. Georgla's position in
this matter is purely question of
craftsmanship Georgia can get the
business by making the prices

reformation of character, then you

Doesn't Approve Cruelty.
OF course, no right thinking man
approves of acts OF inhumanity and
cruelty to prisoners, and least Of all
do the members Of the Prison Com
mission.
1t is not to be presumed that a
chaingang will be the only ideal in
stitution in the land. Those in charge
Of all the desperate and hardened
criminals must Of necessity be deter
mined men, else you could not main
tain discipline. This being true, there
will occa sionally be acts of seeming
brutality, and when these occur and
come to the notice of the Prison Com
mission correction is always ap-
piled. 1t must be remembered that
in republican form of government
the theory is that the man next to "A
duty viii perform that duty, and then,
too, we are compelled to rely on Off
the rule of the Commission.
In order to take extraordinary pre-
caution that this Is done, while the
law requires semi annual inspeC-
lions, we have monthly inspections at
an expense of about $4,000 per year.
We are constantly striving to prevent
abuses while carrying out the law.
Plan to Abolish Stripes.
Recently the Commission adopted a
rule (Which has not yet been put into
complete effect on account of the ex
pense it would entail to put in i'm
mediately, abolishing stripes except
for the lowest grade of convicts We
hope by this to encourage the men to
good behavior and thus avoid the ne
cessity for whipping.
Each member of the Commission
went before the legislative commit
tees and urged the passage OF the
probation law. We also urged the in
determinate sentence law, which we
feel Will aid very much in maintain
ing discipline, for 1t will largely abol-
ish the inequalities of punishment
now inflicted by the various courts
and thus the convicts will have in
stilled in them a greater respect for
the business of the law.
We also urged the establishment Of
a girls reformatory. There are va
rious other efforts that we have made
and are making to make our penal
laws and institutions as near perfect
as humanity possible.
We also have made strenuous eff
forts to secure from the Legislature
sufficient FUNDS to better equip our
boys reformatory, so that better
training can be given for usefulness
in their future lives.
For Road Work.
I am opposed to some of the meas
ures proposed in the article in ques-
ton I do not believe the convicts
should be taken from the public
roads. I believe this road work,
while promoting the improvements in
rural conditions, also is an aid to the
reformation of the convict. The fact
that there is no private gain from
his imposed labor, but the public gets
the benefit and he himself will share

Threats Made
The Democratic registrars refuse to
register many Republicans, especially
among the colored voters When the
county commissioners met to canvas
the registration four Republican law
yers, State Senator d. r. England,
Ira p. Hager, w. G. lawrence, Jr.,
and o. J.. DeeganS, the latter being

to vote were registered Probably
one hundred co1ored voters We're
brought into Logan for examination
for registration Threats had been
made by deputies against the Jour
neying of negroes to the court house,
there to demand their rights, and
The work before the county court
was slow, as the Democratic leaders
challenged every step Of the Repub-
licans. But eleven men were passed
upon the first day, five of whom were
registered, six turned down That
night the apparent cause for delay
came. A colored family lived at Mon
itor Junction, mile from the court
house. 1t was supposed that some Of
the negroes awaiting registration
were there. This gave the conspira-i
tors chance and the gunner got
busy.
Soon after dark a band of armed
men raided the house, shot out the
windows, fred bullets into the bodies
OF two colored men, beat up others
and drove woman and child into
the hills without giving them time
to dress. The raiders said they were

result Of that raid one colored man
lies in an unmarked grave on the
hillside and another is likely to join
him soon. No strange niggers"
were in that house.
A colored man owned cleaning
and pressing establishment within a
couple squares OF the court house. His
windows were dem olfshed and his
place OF business next mornig looked
as though German siege gun had
been turned on it.
EngIand's ONCE Stoned
A score OF colored men awaiting
registration were quartered for the
night in the office OF Senator England,
and adjoining Offices. About eleven
thirty O'clock that night some Of the
negroes were awakened by noises in
the Railways and sensation OF not
being able to breathe. They rushed
TO the windows and threw them open,
but were met withaa shower OF stones
from the outside.
An Investigation proved that chic
reform had been blown under the
doors and that a band of men were on
the outside to drive the negroes from
the windows when they sought fresh
air
Piled on Senator England's desk
can be seen the stones hurled with
force as is shown by the scars on the
walls. Some OF those stones were
thrown from the court house steps.
No arrests were made. A grand
jury was in session and Judge Will

ferret out the dastardly assault and
bring the miscreants to Justice. But

$40. 100000. making saving of $780,

the same satisfactory result as they
