EDUCATIONAL week
IS PROCLAIMED BY
GOVERNOR BLACK
Governor Black Sets Aside the Week
OF August $500 As Educational
Week In Kentucky.

Governor James d. Black today is
sued the following proclamation:
Kentucky is engaged in great cam
paign to wipe out illiteracy, cam
paign which is led by the teachers and
supported by every right thinking, pa
triotic citizen of the state While re-
deeming our adult illiterates we must
also see to it that our children are
kept in school and thus prevent illit-
crates from coming on in the future.
The noble teachers who are striving
to accomplish these two important
things for our state are doing work
so constructive, so heroic and so com
mendable that all must see the justice
in taking immediate steps toward in
creasing the salaries of these teachers.
Better salaries are due them and bet
ter salaries they must have If we hold
them in the ranks and keep our
schools on a high plane Of efficiency.
The Kentucky Illiteracy Commission
and the County School Superintend-
ents of Kentucky have blended these
three paramount educational problems
and will present them for the consid-
Grafton of the whole people of Ken
lucky during the week of August 25-3o'
During this week Statewide Educa-
tional Campaign will be waged and
these problems will be carried by
earnest and patriotic speakers to the
people of every county and every
county and every school district IN
the state. Such a campain Will cause
our people to stop and consider the IL
literate in his darkness and his bond
ae, to consider the sin Of keeping a
child out of school and the unfairness
of paying the teachers Of this Com
monwealth less than living wage as
they have never reflected upon these
things before 1t will not only cause
the citizens Of Kentucky to think and
reflect over the seriousness OF these
problems but will be followed, be,
lieve, by prompt and decided action on
the three things which / desire tc
reiterate:
Wiping out Illiteracy.
Increasing day school attendance.
Bettering teachers salaries.
I, therefore, proclaim the week o.
August $3.50 as educational week II
Kentucky and I call upon all schoo
officials, every teacher and every citi
zen to devote their whole time during
this period toward arousing burning
interest in these subjects among th'
people of their localities. | recon

Every county official in this
state must keep his or her office
open to transact public business
from 9 o'clock in the morning to
5 o'clock in the afternoon. This
is the ruling of Attorney General
Black, given in response to an
inquiring county official. Be-
cause of the change in time the
officials wanted to open an hour
earlier and close an hour earlier.
1t is also held that state officials
cannot change their hours OF
work because the law specifically
sets the time from 9 o'clock in
the morning to 5 o'clock in the
evening. State and county Off
Gals may only close their offices
on legal holidays set aside by the

ernor.

AN OUTRAGEOUS CRIME

AN OUTRAGEOUS CRIME
The assassination of four
American Legion m en- a n d
wounding of others by members
of the I. w. w. at Centralia on
Armistice Day was one of the
most outrageous crimes that has
ever been perpetuated in this
country. 1t was case of pure
cold-blooded and premediated
murder almost unparalleled in
the annals of crime in this coun-
try, Apparently without the
slightest provocation, the cow
ardly culprits, who are typical of
the. I. w. w. in this country and
the bolshevists of Russia, gave
their victims no chance to de-
fend themselves, but delivered
their murderous volleys of cold
lead from behind shelters, think
ing that they would escape de-
lection and capture.
1t is to the everlasting credit
of the service men of Centralia
that under such provocative cir
cumstances, they were able to
suppress the mob spirit and let
the law take it's course with all
except one, instead of allowing
the whole gang to be hunted out
of their holes and lynched.
The affair was probably a pre-
mature outbreak of nation
wide rebellion or revolution
which the bolshevist element in
this country has been planning
for some time. 1t was the direct
result of the seditious and an
archistic teachings of that ele-
ment who have been allowed to
spread their devilish propaganda
unmolested by the authorities.

BRAAiLETT JURY SAYS "GUILTY."
Motion for New Trial Will BE Heard
This Morning.

Greenville, Sept. 11.-A verdict OF
guilty of murder was returned at 3
O'Clock tonight by the jury in the
case of Hugh T. Bramlett, who was
placed on trial in the court of General
sessions here on Wednesday morn
ing of last week charged with the
murder of his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Lou McHugh, on June IS.
The case has been the longest ever
tried here. A special plea in insani-
ty was made by the defense and
numerous witnesses including DR.. j..
w. Babcock former superintendent of
the South Carolina asylum for the in
sane and other alienists were placed
on the stand by the defense in sup
port of this plea The testimony was
concluded yesterday noon and today
was consumed with arguments and
the charge by Judge James H. Peuri-
foy. The case went to the jury about
$40 o. m. and the verdict was reach
ed in less than two hours.
Immediately after hearing the YER
rdict counsel for the defense made a
motion for new trial. This motion
will be heard by Judge Peurifoy to-
morrow morning. Under the verdic,
rendered by the jury the Judge would
be obliged to sentence Bramlett to
death in the electric chair. Had the
verdict carried recommendation to
mercy, a sentence of life imprison-
ment. might have been imposed. In
his charge to the jury the judge ex-
planned that should the jury come to
the conclusion that Bramlett was in
sane their verdict would read. 'Not
guilty, on account of insanity
The verdict therefore showed that
the jury did not consider Bramlett
+ insane. The killing of Mrs. McHugh
by Bramlett was sensational event.
He drove up to the home on Pendle-
ton street jumped out of his car, ran
upon the porch, shot and fatally
wounded Mrs. McHugh and seriously
wounded Miss Peola McHugh, then
jumped back in his car and drove off
down the Augusta road, to be cap
tured by posse at his home num-
Der of miles from the city. The trial
has aroused an usual degree of in

INSISTS ON OLD BOUNDARY.
.Georgia's Claim Answered BY Attor'
ney General Wolfe.

Columbia, Sept. 12.-Samuel NJ.
Wolfe, Attorney General of South
Carolina, has made a return to the
complaint of the State of Georgia,
filed with the United States Supreme
Court, for hearing October 6, that
there should be a rectiication of the
boundary line between the two States
along the line of the Savannah river.
The State of Georgia claims that
the correct boundary should begin at
the North Carolina line and should
run along the ordinary mean water
level of the northern or eastern banks
of the Chattanooga, Tugaloo and Sa-
vannah rivers.
The answer of the State of South
Carolina contends that the convention
of Beaufort concluded April 26, 1887,
between the States of South Carolina
and Georgia established the boundary
from the most northern stream or
branch of the river known as the Sa-
vannah at it's entrance into the ocean
