MANY HEAR EPISCOPAL
s OGIAL. WORKERS
Interesting Address on Social
Needs Delivered at Parrish
House by Augusta Rector

A number Of Americus people rep
resenting practically every religious
denomination here heard Rev. H.
Hobart Barber, Of Augusta in an
address on social needs in the par
.ish house Of Calvary Episcopal
church here last night The speak
er asserted that in Georgia "thero
axe $50 jails, twice as many as IN
any other State in the south ex-
cept Texas, three times as many as
in South Carolina. These $50 jails
represent an investment Of more
than ten million dollars, dealing with
more than 10000 annually charged
with crime, and costing yearly more
than million dollars for administra-
ton, and with but little interest
shown on the part Of our citizens
generally"
Christian society should stimu-
latte interest among our leading citi-
zzen S in jail conditions, work for i'm
provementand get the right kind of
legislation Mr.. Hobart declared,
Convicted criminals, except for a
six month or less sentence, are not
committed to our county Jail, and
even for that srort period judges
rarely jail the convicted, and know
ing that close confineemnt is det-
rimental to health and morals, send
them to the changing or State
Farm"
Such problems continued the
speaker, as the fee system by which
the county allows so much, 81 cents
in Georgia, for feeding each pris-
oner per days the sheriff giving his
wards two or three meals, scant or
full as he elects, saving for himself
what he may out Of the allowance,
a speedy trial for the accused, the
problem Of bonds for the poor who
cannot furnish bond, and therefore
must suffer Imprisonment, proba-
ton and Social Service Courts These
problems require careful study.

COUNCIL DISCUSSES
SITUATION IN STATE

When asked today concerning the
foregoing news dispatch from At
lanta, Mr.. Council talked most in
.terestingly concerning the problems
that confront Georgia, but stated
emphltically hat he would not be
q candidate for governor.
I'D like to make the race said
MIR. Council, because I'd like to aid
lin bringing Georgia out Of the mire
into which the politicians have led
our state during recent years. Moth
ing would please me better than to
give Of my time and humble eff
forts to putting Georgia's affairs
upon a business basis, and there is
no sacrifice I'd refuse to make for
the welfare of my state But it
isn't possible for me to become .
candidate for Governor at this
time.
Only consuming love for Sum
ter county and Sumter's people pre-
vents my giving the goyerorship
serious consideration. Never before
have the people here needed help
more than during this good year,
and I am determined to place my
every resource, every dollar l pos
.sess, at their Disposal to the end
that happiness sfaI reign in every
Sumter county home, and prosper
ity shall mark every worthy bus,-
ness venture here. All my varied
interests are centered here in
Americas and Sumter county, and
my love for this people is 700
great to permit me even to think of
.deserting them at such a period as
this present.
The man Georgians are demand
ing today is one who is big enough,
and strong enough and brave enough
and bold enough to come right out
into the open and fight with every
energy the forces that apparently
are at work to destroy Georgia and
her established institutions. This is
no time for a man inexperienced in
affairs Of BUSINESS to put at the
helm. Few such critical years haze
ever been faced by Georgia as those
lying immediately ahead Of the
state
The policy Of let business pay
the freight, that has become So
popular among certain Georgia
politicians is bringing anything but
