UNIVERSITY Is
UNDER FIRE IN
STATE SENATE
Favorable Report Received For
Committee To Investigate
Highway Commission

ATLANTA, August 4--Discus-
sion of an act to create II board of
control as a substitute for the pres
ent board of trustees of the Univers-
ity OF Georgia and its branches and
to provide for the expenditure of 10
per cent Of the states income, was
continued in. the senate yesterday.
In favoring the measure Senator
Jackson declared that the present
trustees were very powerful and
there must be some rake-off or they
would not be present opposing the
bill. Senator Johns Of the Twenty
seventh opposed the bill, declaring
that it was vicious and dangerous
measure. An amendment was Of
fered by Senator Walker, calling for
7 per cent of the states income in
stead of the 10 per cent in the bill.
A favorable report on the Me-
Michael resolution, asking the ap-
pointment of joint committee to
investigate the highway committee,
was returned by the finance commit
tee, of the senate. The same com
mitee approved the resolution OF
Senator Pope of the Forty-fourth
district, calling for committee to
ascertain ways and means for rails
ing funds to pay pensions. A bill
placing restrictions on employment
agencies was reported favorably.

CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOLS ARE
FORWARD step
Value Shown By ]. E. D. Shipp,
OF County Board. Only Nor
NAL Grads Used

The splendid advances made IN
educational work in Sumter county
have been outlined in Il communica-
tion from J. L. D. Ship, chairman of
the County Board of Education, in
which he calls particular attention to
the value of consolidated schools and
the employment of normal trained
teachers. M
His statement follows: #
"When the state superintendent of
schools for Georgia remarked to the
Georgia teachers convention at Col
umbus a few weeks since that Sumter
county was making a faster record
for good schools that any county here
tofore> ever made in Georgia, he
uttered truth that cannot be gain
said.
when the many schools of the
county were consolidated into few
big schools, the first great step to Il
great future was undertaken. This
has been accomplished by the earnest
effort of d few untiring workers IN
this greatest cause. When this was
done it was not enough--as great as
it is. Then another forward step was
made when all of these consolidated
schools voted for local taxation to
supplement- the amount appropriately
by the state to run the schools. Each
one of these districts voted by a two
thirds majority to accomplish this
result.
"Then it was that Thalean, Union,
Lysian and Plains Consolidated
schools each voted bonds in large
amounts to build and equip ample
school houses for the accommodation
of the children in attendance.
"These great temples of learning
are as fine as any rural school build
ings in America. The one at Leslie,
bailt by the Union High school, is of
the Spanish mission design and cost
seventy thousand dollars to build.
These people went into the matter
with gloves off and they now have It
faculty of twelve teachers. Music,
domestic science and art are all
taught here and every man in the dis
trict is proud of the work Of this
great seminary.
''rhales first carried learning into
Greece, and Thalean Academy was
the first to vote bonds to build a
temple of learning.
"Plains has completed her fifty
thousand dollar model school build
ing, and Lysian school district will
have completed theirs by September
18th next.

ADJOURNMENT
STOPS FIGHT
ON TAX BILL
Opposition to Income lax
Measure In House. May Vote
On 1t Today

ATLANTA, August 4.-The fight
over the income tax law began in
the house of representative about
an hour before adjournment Thurs
day, each speaker being allowed 20
minutes. The argument for the bill
was opened by Representative Lank-
ford, of Toombs, who declared that
its passage was absolutely necessary
as the state needed more funds and
the income tax afforded the best
way Of raising them. He was fol-
lowed by Representative Wyatt, of
Troup, who argued that everybody
in Georgia had to get along on re-
duced incomes and that the state
should cut appropriations and do
likewise. Representative Culpepper,
of Fayette, spoke in favor of the
bill and Representative Parks, of
Terrell, opposed it. While argument
for and against the bill went on ad-
journment was moved by Represen-
tative Henderson, of White, and his
motion was carried by large ma
jority. 1t was declared by support
ers of the bill that this action might
seriously damage its changes for
passage as many of the representa-
tives go home Friday, when it was
likely that the matter be brought
to vote. The following new bills
were introduced in the house:
By Mr.. McMichael, of Marion
Tc amenl an act 20 aid in the es-
tablishment and maintenace of one
or more consolidated public schools
in each county and to fix their stan
dards. Education.

CHAPTER x
The Proof of Murder-The Back Room
of Costgan's

thV 'ONI VI hC Lawn ssSS'
of Costgan's
l watched her through the glass
doors until she vanished among the
crowd in the lobby. I could not per-
NIT her to go away like this; to get
beyond my sight and knowledge-yet
l hesitated too long, until she had
merged into the swirling crowd and
was lost.
1t was indeed a strange feeling of
loneliness which swept over me in
that moment Never before had l felt
such depth of interest in a woman, or
experienced such regret at parting.
With no apparent effort, seemingly ut
terly Indifferent, she had nevertheless
become intwined with my life, her
presence necessity for my happiness.
The soft pressure of her body, the
touch of her hand, was intOxication;
the glance Of her eyes sent the warm
blood pulsing through my veins. She
had become to me an inspiration,
memory to dream over, a hope no
longer to be resisted
This was strange, so strange as to
be beyond understanding / argued
it with myself, but to no result. The
fact would not be denied. Here was
an unknown woman, original and
beautiful, to be sure, yet one whose
very identity was shrOuded in mys-
terry. To all appearances she was ac-
lively engaged in conspiracy against
the government of Chile, in crime
against human life. She was .unques-
tionably the authorized agent of a
gang Of revolutionary plotters-I had
witnessed their reception of her as
one of their own, and could not doubt
the evidence Of my own eyes. She
had borne them instructions, and stood
in their midst, in secret cOnclave
speaking as one having authority
More than that, even, she had refused
to deny this connection, to reveal her
name, or acknowledge any other pur-
pose. She had used me to further her
ends, whatever they might be, prey
ing upon my personal interest in her,
and yet refusing to lift single fold
of this curtain Of mystery.
What could it mean, but that she
was secretly ashamed to permit of my
full understanding? The thought Of
the stolen money, the murder of Alva,
recurred to me; the invitation l had
overheard for her to accompany him
on his fatal trip, and her accept
ance; the positive assertion Of Harris
that she had done SO; her confessed
knowledge that the money had actual
ly been given into the possession of
the Chilean captain; the nature of the
weapon with which he had been
killed; her remaining in New York in
stead of returning to Washington. l
could not blot these things out. no
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1922-02-10

InaJ might become ugly, and, however
much | suspicioned her in my own
mind, 1 had no desire to leave her un-
defended at his mercy. Guilty or not
guilty, my inclination was to protect
her to the last. Besides / was eager
to obtain the information he claimed
to possess; indeed, all progress on the
case was blocked until l did obtain it.
AS to his boast that he knew where
the stolen money was concealed, /
took little stock in that. Doubtless he
merely threw that in for good meas
ure. But the other looked reasonable
enough; she had confessed being at
Perond's before; Pierre was fully as
likely to recall her to memory as he
was to remember DAILY, and Harris
could never have made so Shrewd a
guess, unless he had really been told
the facts. Another thing gave me cour-
age to go to Costigan's. l was still
accepted by these people as Harry
DAILY, crook. l would undoubtedly be
SO received, so treated. Under these
circumstances there could be no per-
sonal danger; | held the whip-hand,
the advantage-Harris was only en-
deavoring to see what he could get
out of me; he had abandoned force
to resort to diplomacy
"All right" l said. "pll run over
there; if you want to play fair, I'll
meet you half way"
"Oh, I'm on the square, old man,
and I've got some good DOPE" he in
sisted. "Pll blow it when you show
up"
| returned the receiver to the hook,
uncertain whether or not l had de-
cided rightly, yet determined to carry
out the experiment. Above all else !
