MURDER CONVICTION
.QF DAV|SBORO NEGRO
REVERSED by COURT

The Georgia supreme court Tues
day reversed the decision of the
Washington county superior court
in giving life sentence to Gamer
Adkins, a negro, on charge Of
numbering Mrs. Elizabeth McAfee
Kitchens, a rural route carrier, out
of DaVisbOro.
The higher court holds that the
evidence against Adkins was en-
tirely circumstantial and did not ex-
clude a reasonable doubt as to his
innocence.
Gamer Adkins is the father of
Charley Adkins, the tWelVe-yearold
boy who was connected with the
crime by evidence contained in the
records of the case. The father
testified that he had been working
in the field on the day of the MUIR
der and that the boy came home,
driving a Ford car which he said
had been given him by a man who
afterwards committed suicide.
According to the record in, the
case, the boy had shot Mrs. kitch-
ems and dragged her body for some
distance into the woods.
The supreme court holds that
there was no evidence to connect the
elder Adkins directly with the crime,
that his overall were clean, whereas
those of the boy were blood-stained,
and there were tracks showing
where the elder Adkins had gone
through the mud to the place where
he said he was getting out light
wood and then back to the house,
but there were no tracks from the
place where he was at work to the
scene of the crime.
The elder Adkins testified that the
boy took his shotgun, after he had
refused to let him have it, to go rab-
bit hunting

FARM PROBE ENDS;
COMMITTEE BEGINS
To PREPARE REPORT

After hearing Tuesday morning
from A. o. Blalock, who opposed J.
J. Brown for commissioner of agri-
culture in the last election, the joint
legislat tive committee concluded its
investigation of the department of
agriculture Tuesday afternoon and
went into executive session to form
ulate it's report.
The committee seemed anxious
that some of the witnesses who have
been summoned appear at the after
noon session, but on their failure to
show up the adjournment was voted.
Mr.. Blalock was examined con-
corning the Kittrell expense account,
which testimony at a hearing several
weeks ago declared, was found in his
headquarters in the Kimball house.
He said that Governor HaFdwick
was willing that he or any one
should have access to the public
records of the executive office. He
had heard of the Kittrell account,
and he asked Walter Vance, the war
rant clerk, for copy of it.
Aimed at kittrelI
1t was not his idea, Mr.. Blalock
said, to use the Kittrell matter SO
much against Commissioner Brown
as against Mr.. Kittren, who was
a candidate for reelection as repre-
sentative from Laurens county. He
sent his copy to Laurens county, he
said.
Mr.. Blalock declined to state his
own conclusions about the manage
ment of the department of agricul-
ture, because, he said, they were
inadmissabIe as evidence in the in
vstigation. He read to the commit
tee, however, the text of letter ne
had writtn to Commissioner Brown
during their campaign, in which he
made several charges against the
department and the commissioner
management of it. He asserted that
he stands squarely behind these
charges today and believes that an
investigation will substantiate them.

EX-GOVERNOR SLATON FLAYS
STATE INCOME TAX PLAN
BEFORE TAX COMMISSION

pension bill was introduced, talking
to 4 senator who remarked that the
proposition was the worst thing ever
proposed in Georgia.
Yet" said the speaker, "this same
senator trampled upon my toes to
second the measure"
Colonel Spalding insisted that the
state should have en alright budget
system, with penalties to apply
against the official who violated or
exceeded it's provisions. He agreed
with Mr.. Slaton that an income tax
is step toward socialism, and
warned the commission that they
could expect the fellow hit by such
tax to get out of the way.
Discourage Capital
Governor Slaton insisted that an
income tax would have a tendency to
drive capital away from Georgia, and
cited the experiences of other states
with the income tax as disastrous.
He declared that if the plans of pro-
ponents of the tax were successful
the legislatures Of the future would
be inclined to go on wild orgies of
eXtraVa gance.
Governor Slaton stated that $50 of
the $50 counties in Georgia now ge-
more out of the state treasury than
they pay in, and that Georgia con-
tributes more to the common schools
than any other state in the Union.
The reference to the common
schools was questioned by several
members of the commission who
wanted it made plain that although
the state of Georgia gives more than
nth fnf Ii
does not mean that the schools OF
Georgia are as well supported as
they are in many other states where
the counties pay a larger proportion
of the school fund.
Members of the tax commission
will attend a dinner given them by
the Atlanta Association of Credit
Men Tuesday evening.
The dinner given by the credit
men will be held at the chamber of
commerce at $50 o'clock Tuesday
evening and several hundred guests
are expected, Representative of all
branches of commerce and industry
in Atlanta are numbered among the
members of the credit mems asso-
citation, and some valuable sugges-
tons on tax measures were expected
There is no set program Tor the
meeting that will follow the dinner,
according to C. L. Williamson, Sec
rotary Of the credit mems associa-
ton. Mr.. Williamson stated that the
association would turn the meeting
over to Governor Walker, who may
introduce any speakers he chooses.
An open discussion of taxes and
revenue measures will follow.

System Is Democratic,
 Declares Dr. P. P. CIaxton

UNIVERSITY, Ala, July 2S.-(Spe- cialD-Dr. P. P. Claxton. until re- gently provost of the University of Alabama and who has lately been chosen superintendent of the city schools at Tulsa, Okla, has issued the following statement in opposition to any change in the selection of county superintendents of education:
 Apparently there are some in Alabama who believe that the cleo tion of county superintendents of schools by the vote of the people is more democratic than the present plan of leaving this election to re- sponsible boards of education elected by the people for the general man agement of the schools.
 If this plan Is more democratic and. therefore. to be substituted for the present plan, why not be con sistent and apply 1t generally:
 T. To the election of city superin- tendents. Surely the people of the city of five. ten. twenty, thirty. fifty or seventy five thousand people ltV- ing on only a few square miles Of territory are as capable of choosing from among themselves by popular vote a superintendent for their schools as are the people of a county covering from six hundred to thousand square miles of territory and having little means of inter communication. But the fact that Tn no city in the United States Is the superintendent of schools chosen Tn this way Is one of the main reasons

persons elected largely for this pur- pose, then most surely they could choose the principals and teachers of their local schools by popular vote more wisely than district or county boards of education can; and in every district men and women prepared to teach the local schools can be found just as surely as men and women qualified for the professional duties of county superintendents can be found in every county. In the early days of New England. as probably elsewhere, this plan of choosing teachers by popular vote was fol- lowed till the people learned that it could be done better by responsible school boards, and that it is just as democratic for the people to devise way to have themselves served wisely and effectively as it is to attempt to make all their choices themselves and do 1t unwisely and ineffectively.
 Gan you imagine the confusion. failure and popular dissatisfaction and disgust that would follow the extension of the principle of popular election as suggested above? Yet would be just as logical and rela- lively just as effective In each and ail of these cases as in the case of the county superintendency.

The State university the Poly technic institute at Auburn, the Col lege for Women at Montevallo. the Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes at Huntsville, the normal schools, the schools for the blind and deaf. the industrial schools and the secondary schools of agriculture. The principles of democracy should apply to these state schools no less than to county schools. All the people of the state are interested in them and all contribute through their taxes to their support. If county superinten- dents should be elected by the people oi the counties, then the presidents and principals of these schools should be elected by the people of the state at stated times and for definite ly limited terms.
