GEORGIA TO HAVE
28 CCC CAMPS
Atlanta, May 10.—Georgia will
have 28 camps of the Civilian Con
servation Corps in operation thru the
6-moniths period ending Sept. 30, un
der the revised OCC national pro
gram Fourth Area headquarters ol
the Army announced Monday.
Previous orders for the discon
tinuance of six camps in the state
were canceled after Congress recent
ly authorized a $50,000,000 increase
in the OCC anpropriations for the
new fiscal year.
An order to abandon three camps
at Ft. Benning, however, had not
beeni changed Monday. This order,
applying to all military reservation
camps in the country, will transfer
the enrollees to other CCC projects.
Of the 28 Georgia camps, four will
be attached to national forest pro
jects, seven to private forest land,
nine to soil-conservation projects,
one to the Bureau of Biological Sur
vey, three to national monuments and
four to state parks.
Reidsville, Ga., May 6.—The first
execution in Georgia’s new million

carried out Friday.
Archie Haywood, 42-year-old negro
sentenced on a charge of killing an
other negro from Worth county on
Feb. 1, died calmly. Ho went to the
chair at 1 p. m. and was pronounced
dead seven minutes late. - .
A last respite once saved Haygood
from death. He was origin illy sohed- |
uled to die March 19.
Haywood, who has spent the past
several days reading the Bible, sing
ing and praying, ate a hearty break
fast, but refused lunch.
Prison officials said none of the
tenseness usually apparent in prisons
on electrocution days marked the oc
casion here. They attributed this to
the fact that preparations had been
made in a quiet, orderly manner
without unusual emphasis.
