NICHOLS ON COMMITTEE
J. P. Nichols, Sr., of Griffin, is
a member of the committee ap
pointed at the Baptist convention
in Columbus yesterday to formu
late and present a set of prin
ciples to govern in educational in
stitutions.
GOVERNOR SAID TO
HAVE PARDONED MAN
WITHOUT BOARD’S O.K.
Atlanta, Nov. 20.—It is report
ed here on the most reliable au
thority that the clemency case
of J. F. Alexander, the Macon
man who was convicted in the
Klan-anti-Klan agitation growing
out of a series of cases tried in
the city court on allegations of
flogging, did not travel through
the regular channels, but that the
pardon issued to Alexander was
without approval of the state
prison commission.
In fact, according to the infor
mation, the case was never pre
sented to the prison commission
in any form whatever, nor was it
ever considered by the commis
sion, but was takeff direct to the
governor, and the clemency or
der issued by him without con
sultation with the commission.
Alexander was convicted in
Macon and a sentence imposed of
thirty days on the ehaingang and
a fine of $500. He served about
60 days, the fine was reduced to
$200 and the sentence Commuted
to present service.

ROAD BUILDING
PROGRAM

top soil from here to Barnesville.
It is anticipated that Section
1, running from Barnesville to
the Monroe county line, will be
constructed within the next year,
while in Monroe county the coun
ty forces will begin construction
within the next few days.
On Route 19, from Barnesville
toward Macon, the contractor has
begun construction of a top soil
road, the length of which is six
miles and costing approximately
$48,000. In the vicinity of For
syth, contractors are now con
structing four miles of concrete
pavement, which is estimated to
cost about $90,000.
After these .sections of roads
have been completed in early
spring, there will be either hard
surfaced or top soiled roads from
Barnesville to the Bibb county
line.
9 Miles Toward Jackson.
On Route No. 16, from Grif
fin toward Jackson, Butts county
forces are now constructing from
the Spalding county line toward
Jackson, and will have the nine
miles completed some time next
year at a cost of approximately
$70,000.
On Route No. 18, from Zebulon
to Greenville, state forces have
begun construction of 16 miles of
top soil and graded with several
timber bridges to be constructed.
On State Route No. 54-B, from
Fayetteville to Sharpsburg, the
county is constructing five miles
of top soil at an estimated cost
of $48,000, including timber
bridges.
The state highway department
receives only one cent of the tax
on gasoline, and when one consid
ers the expense of building grad
ed and surfaced highways with
this small amount, it is seen that
it is not sufficient to make an ap
preciable showing in a short pe
riod of time.
