ATLANTA, Nov. 20.-Represen-
tative Emmett Williams, Walton
county, chairman of the house OF
representatives penitentiary COM
mittee Thursday vigorously con-
demned methods of Furnishing untru.
iy convicts now in force at some Oh
the convict camps in Georgia.
Representative Williams said tna1
he had received reports from seven
subcommittee which have inspected
various camps and that each referred
adversely to cruel methods in vogue
for furnishing convicts and several
urged that serious consideration be
given to a return to whipping as
punishment for unruly prisoners.
On the other hand Commissioner
E. I. Rainey, of the Georgia prison
commission, while admitting that
there probably were camps where the
methods of punishment devised by
gardens since abolition OF the lasn,
'were not the best," pointed out that
some of the wardens were strong ad-
vocates of the restoration of the flog-
ging and would therefore, be in
clined to make present methods OF
punishment appear as brutal as pos
sible before inspection committees.

Queen Alexandra of England 81 Years Old Dies Today
WOULD EXEMPT
INDUSTRIES OF
ALLCITY TAXES
Ordinance Was Adopted at Last
Meeting of City Council Pro-
posing a Vote Soon

At the last regular meeting of the
Mayor and City Council of Americas
an ordinance was adopted proposing
to the voters in the general City cleo
ton, to be held on December 10th,
the ratification of the recent amend
ment to the Constitution of the State
of Georgia eXempting certain indus
tries from city taxes for period of
five years, and legal notice of said
proposal is carried in this issue.
The amendment proposed to be
ratified is as follows:
ANY person, natural artificial, a
resident of this state, who may build
equip, establish or enlarge plant
for the manufacture or processing
of cotton, wool, linen, silk, rubber,
clay, wood, metal, metallic or non
same, creamery or cheese plant, or
metallic mineral, or combination of
for the production of or development
of electricity, may as to such build
ing, enlargement or equipment, be
exempt from all, county, Incorporated
town or city ad valorem taxes for
a period of time not exceeding five
years from the date of the begin
ming of the building, enlargement or
equipment of such plant; provided
such exemptions shall be approved
by majority of the electors voting
such county, Incorporated town or
city proposing said exemption"
A large number of cities and coun-
ties in the State have already rati-
fled this amendment and it is serv-
ing as i a GREET % sri IF
dustries coming into the state
and, of course, these new industries
are locating in the communities
which offer this exemption. For this
reason the city authorities feel that
this amendment should be ratified as
soon as possible, in order that Amer
icus might be able to match any 9th.
er city in the State in offering ma
tural advantages to new enterprises
The amendment does not give any
exemption from tax on the land, but
merely as to the new buildings and
equipment, and the new industry
must engage in manufacturing the
particular materials named. 1t is be
levied that this exemption will serve
as a controlling inducement in the
,-caolishment of new enterprises IL
Americas, and that by relieving then
of this burden during the period of
time in which they are building and
getting established, the city will gain
by the increase in tax values after
the expiration of the five year ex-
emption period, and that there can
be no loss in tax values as the land
will continue to pay taxes during
the exemption period.

Punishment OF COnvicts
CRUEL METHODS USED HIT IN REPORT
FIayed by Probe Chairman

"The commission has called a con-
ference to devise uniform methods
of punishment for all camps for
sometime in December" said Com
missioner Rainey. ''The exact date
has not yet been fixed. At that con-
ference we will have three or four
doctors. members of the state board
of health, and others,to pass upon
the humaneness of proposed discip-
linary methods and also will have a
group of the best and most efficient
wardens in the state to make sug-
gestions."
The commission has several times
pointed out that some of the instru-
ments of punishment devised by the
wardens, are in actual fact, never
used, but are merely built for the
moral effect the sight will have up
on the more ignorant of the unruly
conviets.
Representative Williams stated
that his subcommittee had reported
camps where prisoners were backed
up to a post and their arms chained
behind. The arms were then raised
as high as possible and the chains
hooked to nails, and the prisoners
was left to suffer the torture Of this
suspended position for several hours.

DYKES WOULD

Chairman of the Board of Edu.
cation Urges That Children
Attend Band Concert

Mr.. w. w. Dykes, Chairman of
the Board of Education to the City
of Americas, today issued the follow
ing statement with reference to the
United States Naval Mand, which
gives two performances in Americas
next Monday.
Il believe | would fall short in my
duty should | fail to call to the spe-
cial attention of every school chill
in the county the matinee perform
ance of the United States Naval
Band in Americas next Monday Mon
day afternoon at 2:45.
81 believe the performance of this
band will serve in a material way in
the education of the children; it is
one of the finest bands in the United
States, comes to US by special per-
mission of the President of the Unit
ed States, and affords an opportun-
ity of hearing good music, properly
rendered, that few of us will ever
have again. l hope that every
school child in Americas will be able
to attend the matinee Monday aft
ernoon.
81 also wishh to make a special
appeal to the several consolidated
schools in the County to turn out
the pupils in time for them to at
tend the matinee at 2:45, and that.
wherever possible, the children be
brought in, in a body on the school
trucks, The admission for children
attending the matinee will be only
fifty cents, and / am now endeavor-
ing to arrange special price for the
teachers where they accompany the
hildren."
Those in charge of the sale of
tickets report the sale of large
number of the matinee tickets at this
time, and as the Rylander theatre
has seating capacity of only about
800, all those desiring tickets for the
afternoon performance should Sc
cure the same Immediately.

---- -.---.--.--~eGhll$Ce .-,~.--.~----

AUSTIN. Texas, Nov. 20.-A dis
crepancy of at least $250,O0O in
Federal aid money turned over to the
Texas Highway Commission for pay
ments on Federal projects, was dis
closed Thursday by C. A. Schutze,
superintendent of Federal aid pro-
jects in the Texas Highway Depart
ment.
The disclosure was made by Schu-
TIE while he was testifying in the
states suit for cancellation of the
American Road Company's permit
to do business in Texas and also col
lect funds claimed by the Texas
attorney general to be excessive pro-
fits for work done by the company
on state highways.
Schutze testified the Federal gov
eminent had paid to the Texas state
treasury about 100000 which was
due on Federal aid projects in va
rious Texas counties. He said the
state highway commission had ad-
vanced less. than 100000 to pay
for Federal aid and that in the treas
ury now to the credit of the depart
ment there was $149,500.
Then adding, say 100000, the
commission has advanced for Fed
eral aid to the $149, 500 in the treas
ury and subtracting the total from
100000, there is a shortage of at
least $25O,000. attorney General
Dan Moody said.

Alexandra, widow Of the late
King Edward VII of England, upon
the death of her husband in 1910,

which had been in disuse since the
days of Henrietta Maria the consort
of Charles l.
The eldest daughter of King Chris

married to Albert Edward, then
Prince of Walesetao etao etao etaet
and for 38 years, during the reign
of Queen Victoria, although some
what in the background was greatly
beloved by her adopted people.
Born in Copenhagen, December /,
1914, she went to England as the
bride of the future King, the same
year her father was crowned the
ruler of Denmark. She was then
10, a girl of rare charm and beauty
and, by reason of the frugality of
her own family, of simple and unex-
travagant tastes. Upon the death Of
aQueen Victoria, in 1901, when her
husband assembled the throne, Alex
aSAra became Queet- and EslGped1- ed
with him for nine years:
Alexandra adopter the title of the
Queen Mother in 1910 when George
", her son, and the Princess Mary
were crowned upon the passing of

many philanthropies. During the
world war she served as head of the

to 1918 she had visited every hospl-
tai in London including the famous
home for blinded soldiers at st.
Dunstan's. She also was interested
in infant welfare work. When a
new nurses home was named IN her
honor in London she requested that
it be not called the alexandra
home but the Edith Cavell" home IN
memory of the marytred British
nurse.
