"Just put it in your pocket ard

company and Ernest Lewis. the
warehouseman, who depended on a
small percentage of the sales prices
for their income, and the sales were

Convict Is Building
own Business i1 Jail

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, Aug. IS,
"A convict has become a business
man.
Though iron bars and ston3 wall
separate him from the outside world,
Dennis Lewis, an inmate Of the Ly-
coming count yjail, has established
himself as a manufacturer of TOYS,
decorated wastebaskets, handker-
chief boxes and similar articles.
SO thriving has been Lewis bust
mes sthat it has become nccessa: y
for him to hire other inmates Of
the Jail to work for him.
Terrified Residents
Three years ago a burglar terri,
fled the residents of a section Of
Williamsport. For weeks the police
tried to capture the burgIa", and
then one day he was arrested
1t was Dennis Lewis.
Lewis was sentenced 20 the east
ern Pennsylvania penitentiarg, at
Philadelphia for u years.
During his idle moments in pris-
on he started to making curtain pull
ers and glass beads. He was able
to sell these and soon the demand
for his products was so great that
he could not keep up with his bust
ness b yhis own efforts.
SO he hired other convicts to work
for him, paying them well and thus
enabling them to store up nest eggs
to eused when they were freed.
Lewis did not have much time for
his work in the prison, so, through
the efforts of friends, he was trans
ferred back to the Lycoming county
fail. Here Lewis found himself
able to devote virtual all Of bis
time to his work.
Other inmates wee able to give
him all their time.
Making Money
This enabled Lewis to extend the
scope of his business until totay he
IS making enough money tc support
several relatives and to have a good
sized bank account.
His goods are being sold III every
part of Pennsylvania.
"In prison l have learned two
lessons" says Lewis. cone that It
pays to be honest, God-fearng and
law-abiding- another that MN
may be down but he : never out.

KIWANIS HEAR
COLONEL Ship
Able Speaker Delivers Address
Observation-Disclosures,
Glcrificaticn"

Colonel J. f. D. Ship, chairman
of the county board of education
spoke by invitation at the Kiwanis
club on the subject of Education,
Diversificatiou and Qualification, p
Friday noon.
"The most important word IN orr
language is education" said the
speaker. Education produces di-
versification, and diversification
produces Qualification. The school
room is the matrix of public opin-
ion. We Georgians are a one-cror
people because of lack Of educa-
ton. If you want people to d.
versify you must educate them.
Michigan has grown 20 times as
fast as Georgia and Michigan spends
for education $21 20 Gcorgia's 81.
Massachusetts spends 1872 to our 81.
Compare the bank deposits o. these
two states with those in Georgia
compare their per capita savings
departments and you see what edu-
cation means in a material sense.
eve still are huers Of wood and
drawers Of water. Just in proper
ton as education advances, so goes
material wealth.
"America is what she is today--a
commanding power among nations
because she has from the first
fostered education. Education is
the keynote Of success; there is no
exception to that rule; wherever a
people are educated they diversity
their energies and gloriticatioa fol-
lows with all that's really worth
while.
Georgia needs 2,400 trained
teachers every year and yet all Of
our institutions can produce but
500. We must go outside the state
for 600 trained teachers, or use
incompetent young men and wom-
en-.
"There are only 81 countics, out
of the 161, which require a college
education of their count y5eachers.
and I am proud TO tell you that
Sumter is one of the 27, with he
ten rural consolidated schools that
are the pride of this citizenship and
are recognized as among the greet

"To you Kiwanians | say tnat orr

al schools"

ATLANTA, Aug 15.-By Il
margin Of one vote, the House Fri
day tabled a bin which sought to
amend the workmen's compensation
act 50 as to pay the attorney gem
eral $1,000 per year for his services
as an eX-officio member Of the COM

The motion to table was made by
Representative Cooper, Of Tcifar
and was carried So to 81. 1t fol-
lowed a bitter attack upon the a.
tack upon the attorney general By
Representative Miner, of Dodge.
Representative Miner made the
point that the bill was lueonstit1-
tionaI, because he said the consstitu-
ton provides that the salary Of an
official shall not be raised during
his term of office.
In addition to this argument,
Representative Miner expressed tie
opinion that the attorney general
was mot worth more than his pres
ent salary" Every iittle piece Of
graft around this capitol Mr. Mil
ner harged, is taken dow1 to the
attorney generals office to b. roti-
lied as legal Mr. Milae- charac-
terized the attorney generals opln-
ion as political opinion to get his
