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. FISH FRY FRIDAY The Game and Fish Protective Association of Spalding County, issued an invitation Thursday to local sportsmen to attend a fish fry at the city waterworks plant tomorrow at 12:30 o’clock. GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM (Continued from Page 1.) 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.
