HUSBAND SA YS BURNING

D. Comstock, husband of Mrs. Cdrrle'Ccmstook, is highly Incensed
over the brutal nttnek on his wife Friday afternoon, and declares if he was
permitted to deal justice to Robert E. Turnuge, who Is accused of being the
assailant, he would burn him at the stake.
Standing on the steps at the police station, .Mr. Comstock said:
"If l hail that man out here In the street I would burn him. If 1 wus
allowed to deal with him, he would not hang and he. would .not he shot
hut he would die in flames. And I believe I would have plenty or help lii
burning him, loo. He Is In the bunds ot the law now. however, and I will
let the Inw take Us course."
Mr. Comstock was formerly jailer at the Tower, and he remarked:
“I have-lacked up hundreds of men on tills same charge, hut I n-ver
thought this thing would ever come home to me."

Georgia School of Technology is educating 500 men
for our factories and the things that develop the
South.
One of the professors has been down with' nervous
prostration for three months as the result of night
and day work in loyalty to the great school, because
there is not money enough even to employ suf
ficient teacher^. His salary was one hundred dollars
a month. His brother is employed in one of At
lanta’s bauks, and each month has the pleasure of
cashing the salary draft for $150 of one of the profes
sors of a negro institution in Atlanta supported by
Northern kindness.
The Georgian, for one, raises its voice and its gold to
give the great Tech what it absolutely needs.
It needs ground—$7,500 will get it before January 1
—no amount of money could get it after that date.
Of this needed amount, $2,500 is already on hand.
Professor Matheson, we put our name down for
$250 of .the remaining $5,000. God bless vou.

No, those art not new schools to oe
built on those streets. The figures rep
resent the number of hesement' rooms
—cellar rooms—Into which pupils have
to be crowded. **
And It was one of those room* that
was formerly used a* a'coal room. That
was in Fair street school. But the chil
dren kept Increasing In attendance and
so the coal had to be moved Into a
house In the yard and little children
were put in this r«K>m to take the place
of coal.
Of course the room was fixed up aftar
the coal was removed and was made to
look like n achool room, but before this
was done It was necessary to dig out a v
lot of dirt and all this can now be seen
plied In the yard.
None of the school officials wanted to
put children Into cellars—basement
rooms. Bnt there were no new schools
to take care of the Increase, so It had to
be done.
In the Fair 8tr«st.
In the Fair street school there are
four of these basement rooms, but only
one of them Js used «* a school room. In #
the others they store rubbish.
They formerly used nil of these rooiti.i
for school purj>ose*. hut they had to
stop It. The children became sick ami
the doctor* said this sickness was
caused by these rooms; suld they were
damp nnd unhealthy. Ho the children
had to be turned out. They *tlll keep
one for the children, however. This is
the one that was formerly devoted to
coal. The school authorities didn’t
want to u*e It this year when school
opened, because they knew what the
doctors sold about the others, but the
attendance Increased so rapidly thut Its
use whs necessary*
Two in Frazer street.
In the Frazer street school they use
i’o of these rooms In the basement,
hut fortunately the congestion In this
school will soon be relieved by the Pry
or street .school—that new* structure
which Is a model In Its line.
These basement rooms—cellar room*,
they might Justly be called—have board
floors above those of cement. Of course
they are close to the ground, and that
means they are damp. The school au
thorities found out that they rotted out
so quickly that It was necessary to put
In new one* every little while.
They don’t want to crowd children In
cellars and basements, but they are
compelled to under the circumstances.
This Fair street achool Is one of those
old-fashioned frame structures which
was built In 1873, and ail the rooms are
heated by stoves—rather primitive,
school architects say in this day.
All told, there are nine of these cellar
rooms where the little children are
crowded to be taught, hut perhaps
things will be better when Atlanta peo
ple realize the necessity for digging
I deep In municipal pockets and building
! more schools.

UP TO SENATE
Washington, Dec. 8. -Having got
through with the shaking down pro
cess, necessary after a long recess, the
national legislature machine Is now
running smoothly, und will begin to
grind out real business next week.
Mr. Raynor purposes making u
speech on the subject In the near fu
ture after Secretary Metcalf* report on
the Investigation on the subject which
has been called for by aenatte, has
been presented.
Consider Nominations.
One of the lirst things to be attend
ed to by the senate next week Is the
confirmation of the cabinet members
Georgia School of Technology,
the greatest educational instilu-
tion of Atlanta, the most widely
known technological school in the
South,’the school that has done
more to advertise and develop the
interests aud prosperity of Atlan
ta than any other institution with
in its limits, is in need of help.
It is overcrowded on its present
small enmpus, and unless it is pro
vided with more room, its growth
will be stunted and the great good
which the enlargement of the
school would cause, both to the
city nnd the state, will be lost.
Dr. K. G. Matheson, president of
the Georgia School of Technology,
has appealed to the residents, espe
cially the business men, of Atlan
ta for aid in expanding the school.
Dr. Matheson only asks for nil in
crease of about three acres in the
campus, in order to give him room
in which to httild several much
needed buildings.
OPTIONS EXPIRE JAN. 1.
Options are held by Dr. Mat lie-
son on two lots in the immediate
vicinity of the school. These lots
are valued at the prftent time at n
total of $7,500—$4,000 for one nnd
$3,500 for the other. The options
will expire January 1, and unless
the lots nfe bought by that time, it
is probable that opportunity to se
cure them will lie lost forever.
I Tlie owner intends building resi-
! deuces on them after January 1, if
! the property is not bought by tlmt
time. > < , ■
Only $2,000 is at present avail
able toward tho purchase of the
lots. Of this amount $1,500 was
contributed by the state. The re
maining $500 of the amount al.
hand whs recently given in pri
vate subscriptions by four men.
Dr. Matheson only asks that t It.*
public of Atlanta contribute it<5,-
500 toward the enlargement of an
institution from which they have
received hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of benefit.
OAMPllS VERY SMALL.
The campus of Georgia School
of Technology at the present time
is only, sixteen acres in extant.
The campus of Vanderbilt Uuiver-
siU: is 75 acres in extent and other
institutions in the South have
large campuses. Vanderbilt uni
versity has only ubout 250 more
students than Georgia Tech,
though the former institution has
59 acres more on which to place
its educational buildings. It <s
readily seen by examination of
other inatitiitions of learning in
the South, that Georgia Tech has
an extremely small campus in
comparison. The wonder is that it

There has been no opposition expressed
to the proposed changes, and the de
lay In acting upon them was the re
sult of failure to secure a quorum of
the judiciary committee before which
the nominations of Secretary Bona

It Is expected that the senate will
hold an executive session early in the
week and all thp cabinet nomination*,
as well as that of Attorney General
