Lee, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, to establish a reformatory or Industrial farm for (he youthful negro criminals of Fulton county. Is meeting with public favor. While the feasibili ty of establishing such an Institution hBs not been determined, because of Its recent suggestion, the urgent need of such an Institution for the training of young negro boys who are started In crime is generaly recognized. For rest Adair, formerly a member nt the board of county commissioners, Is heartily In favor of the plan as sug gested by Dr. Lee In an Interview with a representative of The Georgian Tues day morning, xvos outspoken In his belief Hist the Institution should be established at once. In support of his position. Mr. Adair said: Forrsst Adair Favors It. "I have read the very Interesting articles by Dr. James W. Lee on the Fulton County Reformatory and the necessity of a similar Institution for ne gro boys. i was chairman of the board of coun ty commlsslonera when the present re- formatory.was built, and there Is noth. Ing connected with the administration that I am more proud of than thla In stitution. "Commissioner H. E. W. Palmer was chairman of the committee that had this particular work In charge, and the present condition of the Institution Is a monument to his valuable labor In that direction. "If I were on the county board at thla time, I would certainly vote to -urchase at leaat 300 acres adjoining the present farm, build a reformatory for the negro boys, and put the man agement of both Institutions under Pro fessor Means, giving him a sufficient number of assistants to enable him to ■nation of juveniles. Is heartily in favor of the present movement. He said’: “The Idea of establishing a reforma tory for negro boys Is splendid and ls,a move In the right direction. We should by all means have such an Institution supported by the county, Just the same as the reformatory for white boya at Hapevllle. Unless It Is operated the county, the courts would not have authority to aentence boya there. The statistics of the police department show that we have to deal with four negro boys to one white boy. and In a great number of caaea these negjtn boys have no parents and no one to care (or them." Chief of Police Jennings believes thnt such an Institution would be a good thing, but thinks that the county should first establish a reform school for whll t girls. County Commissioners. , While the question of establishing a reformatory for negro boys has not been brought directly to the attention of the hoard of county commissioners, none of them, when Interviewed by a representative of The Georgian Tues day morning, would express themselves as being opposed to the proposition. The committee appointed by the Meth odist ministers at their meeting Mo>i> day morning to confer with the board of commissioners will meet with them In a short while, at which time the matter.will be fully discussed. Until that time the commlsslonera stated they would refrain from committing themselves on the subject. The commissioners favor llie propo sition. hut express a doubt thnt such an Institution could be built wdth the county's present funds. BAD MANAGEMENT _e jail or the chalngang Is not the place for boiys under IS years old. Be- I'ore they have become hardened crlml nala the reform school la the place for them, nnd the statistics will show a surprising percentage of the Inmates of these schools that turn out In after Ilfs to be good and useful men. "In my opinion, the Institutions now operated by the state do not meet the demand, but a separate one should be built for Fulton county, nnd run on the same plan that the white reformatory la now conducted. There are at the Grady Hospital Troubles Aired Agam m Council. K resent time quite a number of negro oya In Fulton county Jail and In the work on the farm, given good training, taught useful trades away from the In fluence of the hardened criminals, and the result would be a great good to so ciety. ‘.‘This Institution would be of no cost to the county except the original In vestment, ns It would be from the be ginning. In my opinion, under the man agement of such a man as “ " Professor Means, more than self-sustaining." Probation Offieor Talks. Probation Officer J. M.

The troubles of the Grady hospital were given another airing when coun cil met Monday afternoon to receive the registration list for the water bond election. * Councilman Taylor Introduced en or dinance providing for the election of three membera of the board of trustees of the hospital from the city at large, irrespective of the wards they live In, these to serve In addition to the ten members now composing the board. The motion to refer was lost, sml when the ordinance came to a positive vote and was adopted. Councilman Longlno arose. "The present board," he said, large enough, and there la no sufficient reason for Increasing It to thirteen members. 1 have letters that prove conclusively thnt the old board of true- tees did not conduct the hospital In ■ proper manner. 1 can prove this by the attaches and employees of the hospital.” The ordinance Increasing the mem bershlp was adopted, the vote being 11 for and 6 against. The new membei* will be elected next Monday. Robert J. Lowry nnd Councilman Martin will probably be put back on the board. If they will accept. Alderman Curtis offered an ordinance asking the legislature to anWnri tho charter of the city so ns to prohibit any man from serving on two boards at the same time or from holding any two of fices of any kind at the same time, and to make a member Ineligible to sue ceed himself until a year elapsea be tween the terms of office. • Jacobs’ Hygienique Tooth Brush, 25c English-made Tooth Brush that will hold its bristle and give excellent service; in hard, medium and soft bristles Gilt-edge Shoe Polish, regular price 25c, cut price . 20c Brown’s French Dressing . 10c Bixbv’s Royal Polish 10c Nail Buffers Buffer like Illustration, cham ois with natural wood han dle 25c Other tizee, 35c, 40c and 50c Nail Filet .. 25c. 35c and 40c Nall Scleiors .... 50c and 75p Nail Nlppert 39c Roger & Gallet’s Rice Powder.. ,19c Levy’s LaBlache Powder 39c Pozzoni Pow der 39c Java Rice Powder 35c Mme.
