The entire trip was made by auto

one by which the journey should be
made, with a stop-over in Atlanta of
a few days. A portion Of the time
was spent In Rome, after which the
Mostellers went into the eastern part
of Tennessee for the remainder Of
their visit.
The western route was taken to
Americus, thus giving die palty op-
portunity to view the GRIPS along
both sides of the state. In speak

he states, the crops are showing an

the fall conditions makes everybody
happy and enthusiastic, too. Espe-
cially throughctf Georgia, both on
the east side and the west side, the
crops are abundant, with everybody
having a good Nme.
"The entire trip was made without
car trouble of any kind and we made
the jurney to Americus from Rome,
a distance Of 225 miles, within day,
and stopped for two hours at Warm
Springs.
"We ate Georgia watermelons and
Georgia peaches and Georgia fruits
while we were in Tennessee, and !
told my friends there that if we were

.U.Dl.C. HEADSAYS
NO FAMINE AND
.PESTILENCE' HERE
Mrs. Harold Refutes Re-
ports Of Widespread
Distress in South

Mrs. Frank P. Harold today re-
ceived a telegram from Mrs. Roy Me
Kinney, president-general of the
United Daughters of the Confeder-
acy, at Paducah, KY. asking informa-
ton as to reports of widespread dis
tress, pestilence and famine through
out Georgia and the South, and ask
ing that she place the T. d. C. or
ganization in the forefront of relief
work.
To this telegram, Mrs. Harold
made vigorous reply denying the ex-
istence of any great distress in this
section, and requesting Mrs. McKin-
ney to aid in giving widest publicity
to an official refutation of the false
reports circulating in the North Her
kilograms which covers the whole
ground completely, follows:
Mrs. Roy Mckinney, President
General United Daughters of the
Confederacy, Paducah, Ky.
Your telegram this morning has
surprised as well as panied me, be
cause it brings to mind the great
people of the South in circulation of
such reports as have become current
in other sections. The cotton grow
ers of the South have borne with
remarkable fortitude a heavy load
during the period of defation, happily
about ended. but there has been no
actual suffering in the South so far
as | have learned, except in isolated
districts, among those ignorant and
lower classes VINO are always more or
less the victims Of their own lack of
vision.
If the federal government will
Finance the expectation of our cotton
to Europe, prosperity will reign in
the South.
Never before in the history of
Georgia has there been such splendid
precautions taken against the spread
of contagious diseases by state, coun-
ty and municipal authorities, and
reports of the public health authors
ties here fail to disclose any epidemic
of pellagra or other serious condition
of sickness among this people. Fam
inc and pestilence are unknown in
georgia, ana W1ueSJ possible pup
licity should be. given to an en-
phatic denial that such conditions
exist in Georgia
Daughters of the Confederacy join
with other Georgians in expressing
indignation and disgust because of
the false and slanderous statements
circulated outside the South, concern
ing the conditions alleged, and ] beg
that you join us in contradicting
these insults to our southern people.
The same fortitude which carried
the South through more than four
years of heartless war while our
heroic armies repelled the enemy on
the Virginia front line yet abide with
this people and will ever enable Geor-
gia and the South to exist, happily,
without outside assistance, while of
our usual surplus we are always will
ing to contribute to aid our less for
tunate fellow men and women.
MRS. FRANK HAROLD,
President, Georgia Division, United
Daughters of the Confederacy.

WORLEY CHARGES
OLD STUFF HERE
His Allegations Of lrreg-
ularities Here Without
Foundation In Truth

Sensational charges of alleged
cruelty made by Arnold Worley, a
convict, to a legislative investigating
committee at Milledgeville are believ-
ed by Sumter county people to be
groundless.
Worlcy, who is serving a life SEN
tence for murder, was assigned TO the
Sumter county chaingang during
1919, and remained here only few
months. He was transferred here
at the request of +. l.. Rainey, a
member of the Georgia Prison Com
mission, who sought for WorIey an
easy place. He succeeded G. /. Orr,
another convict, who received par
don, as convict-custodian of the Sum-
ter county stockade.
The duties of this position enabled
the convict assigned to it to move
about quite freely, enabling him to
go about the streets of Americus, and
on Sunday he is permitted to attend
the church of his choice and other
wise enjoy certain liberties. The du-
ties are wholly clerical, the convict
custodian having supervision of the
preparation of meals and the cleaning
of the stockade. Other convlcts are
assigned to do this work under his
direction. In addition, the convict
custodian keeps certain records for
the chaingang super ntendent.
Worley was never punished while
imprisoned here, and was transfer
red to the Fulton county gang at the
request of j. w. Lassiter, county
superintendent j. w. Lovett, q
guard, accompanied Worley from
Americus to Atlanta, Worley not be
ing handcuffed at the time.
lie was of quarrelsome disposi-
ton while here, and made certain
charges which caused his removal
During a visit to- the office of w. w
Dykes in the Planters Bank building
here, WorIey alleged to Dykes that
whisky was being manufactured at
the stockade, and produced two OF
more smoked tin vessels in which he
said the liquor was being distilled.
Investigation revealed Worley to
be the sole custodian of the stove at
the stockade, without which no liquor
could be manufactured. He never al
any time made these charges to any
member of the county commissioners
with several of whom he was in daily
intimate contact, and nothing was
known of them until after his trans
fer.
He was transferred because of bis
inability to discharge the duties as
signed him, because of his violent
temper and a disposition to create
discord among the prisoners. The
charges made by him before the com
mittee at MilledgeviIle art all wei
known here, and long ago have beer
fully investigated and disproved.
