GOVERNOR HARRIS ANXIOUS TIC
HONOR MAN WHO SHOT AT
HIM SIXTEEN TIMES.
HE MISSED HIM EVERY TIME

An Interesting Story Lies Behind the
Proposed Appointment by Governor
of Yankee Who Made Target of
Him During the Late War.
The fact that he shot at the gov
ernor sixteen times-and missed
each time-will win Col. l. c. Wade,
of Cornelia, an appointment on the
staff of Governor Nat E. Harris in
event the state executive can prevail
upon the legislature to lower the age
limit.
An interesting story lies behind
the proposed appointment. During
the governors campaign for office he
encountered in Ben Hill county a
group of Yankee veterans, to whom
he pleaded for votes on the ground
that he was a Confederate soldier
The plea was so unusual that it not
only caused comment, but inspired
the G. A. RS. to vote for him.
The incident preceded him to Cor
nelia, Ga, where he delivered an ad-
dress to the voters. In the audience
was a feeble, gray-haired old war
horse who wore the emblem of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Gov
ernor Harris sought him out after the
speaking and had a talk over old
times.

the opposing forces was Col. 1. c..

made up the beds of other convlcts,
scrubbed the floors and whitewashed
the walls-all very different from
the duties of a factory superintend-
ent, to which he had been accustomed
for years. This is VOuched for by the
convicts.
Reports of possible mob violence
that were persistent for several days,
with the fact that Frank was sent to
the prison for safekeeping, render it
obvious why Warden Smith has kept
him inside of the building and has not
placed him in the field. The fact
that he remained inside, however,
did not alter his style of clothing
he was in stripes all of the time, Off
Gals and convicts declared.
1t was agreed by all that Frank has
been allowed no special privileges,
even as to the matter of visitors. 9th
er prisoners, it was said, had been
known to receive just as many visit
ors as the Atlanta man. While the
prison has set rules for visitors it
was regarded by the investigators as
nothing but natural and right that
these might not be observed to the
very letter in cases where wives, chill
dren or other relatives had travelled
long distance to see their loved ones
within the prison walls. This ap-
plies to all prisoners.
Three Notable COnvicts.
There are but three other noted
conVicts in the prison at present
Edgar Stripping, life-termer, DR.. W..
]. McNaughton, Emanuel county ply
stefan serving a life term, and }. j.
Manghum Griffin financier.
While Stripping is regarded as
nervous and physical wreck and has
little or nothing to do, other conv1cts
agreed that neither he nor the other
two were shown partiality.
Both DR.. McNaughton and Man
CHAM were declared by prison Off
Gals to be unfit for roadwOrk or other
hard labor. DR.. McNaughton, who is
very heavy, suffers much with his
feet, and goes over the prison in his
sock feet all of the time, being unable
to wear shoes. He complained much
of his feet paining him. Mangham,
it was stated, has a kidney trouble
that incapacitates him for manual Ia
Dor.
Both DR.. McNaughton and Man
CHAM, however, have regular duties
to perform, according to the convicts.
Dr.. McNaughton serves as assistant
to DR.. Guy Compton, prison physi-
clan. and works with the sick con-
victs Just as though he was being paid
a salary by the state, being subject
to call day or night.
Saved Franks Life.
DR.. McNaughton' prompt action
saved the life of Leo Frank the night
his throat was cut. Warden Smith
declared DR.. McNaughtOn' services
represent a vast sum to the state.
Mangham, being especially fitted
for office duties, does all of the cler-
ical work of the prison, including the
answering of correspondence on
typewriter and the systematic check
ing of the convicts as they are rece1y-
ed and turned out. Officials agreed
that it would cost the state at least
500 a month to employ an outsider
to perform these duties.
As to the medical attention being
given Frank, Warden Smith said:
CAS- far as the state is concerned,
Frank is getting no more attention
than would any other convict under
similar conditions. And as to the
presence here of Mrs. Frank, we al
ways permit the wife of a convict to
be with him in case of serious i'll
ness-that's nothing new"

A hospital rather than a prison.

A hospital rather than a prison
This is a nutshell definition OF
Georgia's prison farm at Milledge'
Vile. which so strongly has beer
brought to the fore during the last
few weeks because of the murderous
attack made by William Green, life
term convict, on Leo NJ. Frank, the
subsequent investigation by Governor
Harris and the prison commission,
and attendant incidents.
But while so promiscuous in the
spotlight of publicity and so widely
discussed-not alone in Georgia, but
throughout the United States-prob-
ably less is known of the state farm
and it's purposes than of any other
of the states army of institutions.
Prior to the reception of Leo NJ
Frank as it's most famous prisoner
the state farm had remained pract;
caIlv unknown-so far as the general
mblic was concerned. The fact that
Georgia maintained a state prison
farm down about Milledgeville
was known, of course, but beyond
casual and infrequent references to
the sending of some prisoner there it
didn't figure-it had remained yelled
in obscurity, in strict conformity to
the isolated section of country in
which it is situated.
Refuge For Decrepit COnvicts.
The assertion that it is more of a
hospital than a prison is based on
conditions in the prison for men, the
reformatories for white and negro
boys and the prison for women being
no more nor no less than their name
implies. But the male prison would
be more appropriately designated if it
were technically termed "Georgia's
refuge for invalid, crippled and de-
crepit convicts "-for that's just what
it is.
Leo Frank, of course, is not an in
mate of the prison farm under either
of this trio of headings, but he is
there for another important reason
safekeeping. Frank was remanded to
this prison by direct order of Gov
ernor Slaton, as it was deemed the
safest of any of Georgia's convict
camps. Any idea that Frank might
be attacked from the inside and his
life sought by fellow convict, how
ever, was entirely foreign to the
minds of the officials, and hence no
extra precautions had been taken to
guard against such an emergency.
There are now SAT convicts in this
prison, 1876 white men and 172 ne
groes; and, according to the. officials
not one of these is considered fitted
for the regular work of a convict on
the roads. OF this number 100 are
classed as totally disable while the
remainder do light farm work in the
fields and attend to the manifold du-
ties necessary about the prison build
ing and grounds, such as cleaning,
whitewashing, sweeping and the like
Fifteen of the disabled convicts are
bedridden never leaving their beds,

yicts are inmates of the tubercular
hospital, situated three-quarters of a
mile away. in a picturesque grove on

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA
SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE BY THE
UNITED STATES VETERINARY.

How to Keep Disease From Reaching
Your Herd and What to Do
When 1t Appears.
Farmers themselves can do much
toward preventing the spread of hog
cholera, thus placing swine raising
and feeding on firmer and more
profitable basis. To this end the fol-
lowing suggestions are offered:
To Keep Away Hog Cholera.
Locate your hog lots and pastures
away from streams and public high
ways, and do not allow your hogs to
run free range.
Do not drive into hog lots when
returning from market or after driv-
ing on public highways.
Do not use hog lots for yarding
wagons and farm implements.
Do not place newly purchased
stock, stock secured or loaned for
breeding purposes, or stock exhibited
at county fairs with your herd. Keep
such stock quarantined at least two
weeks, and use care to prevent car
rying infection from these to other
pens in feeding and attending stock
Burn to ashes or cover with quick
lime and bury under four feet Of
earth all dead animals and the Wis
cera removed from animals at butch
erifg time, because they attract the
attention of buzzards, dogs, etc,
which are liable to carry hog cholera
infection.
Confine your dogs and do not keep
pigeons unless you confne them.
If Hog Cholera Appears.
Treat your hogs Immediately with
anti-hog-cholera serum, after which
they should be kept on a light diet
and pure drinking water and confined
to limited quarters that may be clean
ed daily and sprayed three times a
week with one part of compound Gre
sol solution to thirty parts of water
until the disease has abated in the
herd. To obtain the best results the
serum must be administered before
the disease has progressed in the
herd.
To Rid Premises of Infection.
Remove all manure and saturate
with quick lime.
Burn all litter, rubbish and old hog
troughs.
After the premises are thoroughly
cleaned spray walls, floors and other
surfaces with disinfectant Zone part
compound cresOl solution to thirty
parts water). Where hog houses. are
small turn them over, exposing inte-
rior to sunlight.
WallOw holes and cess pools should
be filled in, drained or fenced off.
All runs underneath buildings should
be cleaned and disinfected and then
boarded up. Destroy hogs that do
not fully recover, as they may be
carriers of cholera infection.
For information regarding hog
cholera see your county demonstra-
ton agent, R. H. Kent, or address

Veterinary Field Agent.
