Five years is the maximum, the
longest time during which SUCH eX-
emption can be allowed; it may be
for only one year, or for two, three,
four or five years, just as the peo-
pie, at an election las hereinafter
explained), might desire and aX.
And, too, the period of exemption
begins to run from the date of the
beginning of the building, etc, that
Is, the exemption would not be for,
say, five years from the time it was
authorized, by vote of the people.
but five years from the date On
which they broke ground for the
building.
This particular provision throws
light on the real purpose of or OBJ
Ject of the amendment; it is not to
relieve some person from taxes who

but merely to help the begianer,

That is to say, before any such

town or county must vote for such
exemption, specifying the number of

ATLANTA NEGRO IS
HERO; SAVES CHILDREN

ATLANTA, Oct. 27.-Daring
death three times, Paul Russell. re-
gro servant, Sunday rescued from a
burning residence, two children and
their grandmother and salvaged a
trunk full of valuable papers and
escaped unscathed himself, but for
slight scorching.
When the home was discovered
enveloped in flames, a check re-
vealed that Dorothy and Merle Cul-
pepper, aged 8 and 7 years re-
spectively, and their grandmother
Mrs. 2. H. Culpepper, were still m
their room on the second floor OF
the home with all escape except
jumping fro mthe second floor cut
off.
Adopting the methods of a hI.
man fly, Russell scaled the side of
the house and entered the bed room
through a window. Shortly, he re-
appeared with the children, one
clasped in each arm. He leaped with
them and then returned in the same
manner for the grandmother and
brought her to safety the same way.
He was told that a trunk with
valuable papers was still in the
house and again he repeated his wall
scaling feat and for the third time
jumped from the second floor Win
dow, this time with the heavy trunk
on his back. Just as he cleared the
window sill, the roof of the house
caved in.

SCHOOL CONTROL
SOUGHT BY KHAN

ATLANTA, Oct. 27.-Charges
that the Ku Klux Khan is waging an
oroanized campaign to obtain con-
troll of the educational forces Of tire
state working through the Parent
Teacher associations and other
branches Of school activity, were
made before the meeting of the ex-
ocutive board of the state associa-
tion at a meeting held in Macon last
week.
Mrs ] E. Andrews, of Atlanta,
former chairman of citizenship and
member of the board, made the
charges. in which she asserted that
the walker faction Of the khan,
chiefly through the work of Miss q.
v Paterson, of Atlanta, who is fitch
district vice president of the state
association, was bringing every pos
sible pressure to bear to align the
women in the organization with the
Kamelia. the woman's branch Of the
khan. Mrs. Andrews asserted that
women who would not join the
Kakmelia and who were not in
sympathy with the alleged effort
to deliver control of the state edu-
cational work into the hands of the
khan were being quietly forced out
of any positions they hold in the
Parent Teacher association, while
other women who were members Of
the Kamelia, are put in their places.
In her interview Mrs. Andrews
emphatically denied any personal
feeling had entered into her charges
against the klan at the Macon meet
ing.
Not Attacking Khan.
81 am not attacking the khan,
she said. Il do not belong to it or
any of its branches, but l have no
criticism of any women who do. But
l do feel that when any organized
faction tries to win control of such
a thing as the entire educational
system of the state 1t is time to call
Q halt. If there is anything at sill
that belongs to all the people it is
the schools and every one should
find in them a purely democratic in
stitution, without the slightest tinge
of factionalism, religious intoler,-
ance. class division or group con-
troll"
ever since l refused to join the
Kamelia, year and half ago."
she said, "they have been bringing
more and more pressure to bear to
force me out of the P. t. A., or else
Join their secret society. But III
neither join nor get out, and am
confident that | will be going on
with my work for my own children
in the schools and for the children
of other mothers long after this ut
tie faction of fanatics has been for
gotten"
