Charges have been made that
prisoners were forced to work be-
yond the point of physical endur-
ance, that medical supervision was
lacking, that many were compelled
to dig coal while sick and barefoot
ed, and that Warden J. d. Evans,
an ex-saloonkeper, was incompet-

The situation has just come to a
crux due to Governor Brandon's re-
fusal to permit riotous convicts
said to have been brutally beaten
with a three-inch strap to testify
before the grand jury now in ses-
sion.
1t has been further aggravated
in the fact of an official writ is
sued by Circuit Court Judge H. P.
Heflin, ordering the immediate sur
render of the prisoners to examina-
tion of the jury probe.
Although the courts order bris-

MOULTRIE, Sept. 28.-It was
announced definitely that Moultrie
High school has secured a game of
football here for October 9Th with
the strong Ashburn High team.

George Roach, former principal
of Moultrie High, is in charge of
the Ashburn team and consequent
ly a bit of local color will be added
to the fray. Coaches Saxon and
Roach played against each other in

VERL|E WILSON HAS
BEST ENGLISH PAPER

Miss Verlie Wilson, a young
student at the Third District Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical school
here tok honors this week for
having the best English paper of
the week. Through an error this
paper was omitted from the school
correspondence printed several
days ago, and Miss Wilson'S pa
per is being published today. 1t is
as follows:
English literature appeals to the
imagination and feeling as well as
to the intellect. 1t brings us face
to face with great ideals, which
increase our sense of responsibility
for the stewardship of life, and
tend to raise the level of our in
dividual achievements.
"The various spiritual activities
demanded for the Interpretation
Of the best things in literature add
to enjoyment. This pleasure, I'M
like that which arises from physi-
cal qualification, increases with age
and often becomes the principal
source of entertainment, as life
advances. Shakespeare has Pros
pero say: My library was duke
dom large enough
"One function of English litera-
ture is to bring deliverance to
souls weary with routine, despon-
dent, or suffering the stroke of
some affliction. In order to trans
figure the everyday duties Of life,
there is need of imagination of Wis
ion such as the poets give. With
out such vision, the tasks of life
are drudgery.
"The twentieth century is en-
.phasizing the fact that neither hap
piness nor perpetuity of govern
ment is possible without the devel-
opment of a spirit of SERVICE
truth long since taught by English
literature. All of .Shakespeare's
plays are based on service.
"After the Christian religion was
brought to the Teuton, he began to
have high ideals, he worked with
divinity that shaped his end.
"Beowulf taughht his thane to
sing: "For better stainless death
than life's dishonored breath. -
Much of the Anglo-Saxon literature
is based on the love of wars and

FARMERS SALVATION
Carl Williams Says Deflation
Period Taught Needed Les
son to Agricultural Classes

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. %. =
The present era Of deflation, in the
agricultural districts will be the
salvation of the American farmer
because it has taught him to de-
wise his own marketing methods,
Carl Villains, of Oklahoma City,
president of the American Cotton
Growers Exchange, said today in
speech before the State Bank
Division of the American Bankers
Association, in amman oonvtntion
here.
"The farmers have realized"
Mr.. Williams added, chat there
can be no political remedy for
an economic evil and they themsel-
yes are responsible for their own
destiny and that the reason they
have failed to become prosperous
is because they have failed to re-
cognize the economic principles of
city business in their own market
ing operations.
"The farmer had assumed that
because production is an individ-
ual problem, marketing must be
also. He has now learned, however
that the group principle may be
applied to the marketing of farm
crops just as readily as it is to the
marketing Of shoes or steel rails.
He has learned that there are
two factors in supply and demand.
One is time and the other is place.
The actual price of the product
depends in a large degree on its
time of sale and on whether the
sale is at the point of production
or at the point of consumption.
with this fundamental under
standing the farmer began to see
how to solve his own problem. Out
of that knowledge comes move
ment that has already become the
most important development in the
agricultural history of this coun----
try and SO far-reaching in it's eff
feet that it touches directly or
indirectly the pocketbooks of the
entire nation. 1t is a movement
which today engages the attention
of one-sixth of the the farmers of
the United States and through
which more than one-tenth of all
crops-as measured by dollar value
are marketed.
More than ninety per cent of
