trict Attorney. f ro m federal and state departments
The indictment is based on evi- j strongly emphasising educational
dence gathered by postal inspectors features. Carloads of exhibits from
after more than two ' months of in
vestigation in Sparta and' Culverton
and the surrounding vicinity, federal
officials reveal.
It alleges that for the past nine
years a group of Hancock county bus
inessmen, doctors and insurance
agents have collaborated in insuring
persons suffering from incurable dis
eases, paying the premiums during
the short duration of the life of the
insured, and collecting the total value
of the policy with a small remittance
to the beneficiary, usually a relative
of the deceased.
Ten cases are cited in the master
indictment, the sums collected total
ing nearly $20,000 in amounts rang
ing from a few hundred dollars to
several thousand.
Ill many cases, the indictment re
veals, where the insured was a ne
gro, as many as eight smoll policies
would be placed with different com
panies on a single person.
In the five white cases of the ten
named in the indictment, insurance
was in larger single sums.
Tn some cases, the indictment will
charge, promissory notes were used
to collect the amount of the insur
ance from the estate of tile deceased.
Insured in all cases, according to
postal inspectors, were persons un
able to read or write.
Approximately 25 insurance firms
are to be named in the indictment as
the victims of the alleged fraud.
Investigation began last summer
when one concern filed civil suit at
Augusta to fight payment on a policy
believed to have 'been fraudulently
obtained. Attorneys for the benefi
ciary withdrew their claim, records
show.
The 10 cases in the indictment, au
thorities reveal, are not believed to
cover the total extent of the opera
tions of the “organization. To ana
lyze completely the operations of the
scheme would require a probe into
the deaths of every person in Han
cock county for the past nine years,
it was explained.
Other indictments, naming the ac
cused separately, are being prepared
and will also be presented by Mr.
Rawls.

IN MEMORY OF
R. E. WAINWRIGHT
On Feb. 26, 1937 God sent an angel
to bear away the spirit of my prec
ious father.
Father was sick for some time but
was confined to his bed for only a
few weeks during which time all
that a devoted family and skilled
physicians could devise was done to
restore him to health but ail to no
avail
Help us, Lord, to bear our sorrow
and lighten- our burden of grief and
help us to live so that we may one
day meet our dear papa in that hap
py home above.
The end came life one given over
to pleasant sleep, while the spirit
on wings of -peace passed up to the
skies. He had made a hard fight to
regain his health hut had failed. Fin
ally his strength gave way under the
great physical strain and death re
lieved him of his great suffering.
We have the sweet assurance that
papa is now at rest with Jesus for
he spent his declining days on this
earth talking to the Lord. He hum
med a little song and looked up into
our face and said the Lord says, “I
must come.”
Papa, we miss you so much here
on earth yet we know you are now
resting with the angels where suf
fering and sorrow will never more
be known throughout the endless
ages of eternity.
Papa, stand at the golden gate and
fee a guiding star for us, for we too
must cross the valley of death some
day and our prayer is that we may
rest in sweet peace of that heavenly
home when we have crossed over the

governor and United States senator.
UPSON TO BUILD NEW
CAMP FOR PRISONERS
Upson county commissioners will
receive bids on Oct. 10 on the pro
posed public works camp which will
be erected at the new sight on the
Yateville road at an approximate cost
of $36,000.
The new camp will be located
about three miles eat of Thomaston
on the new Yatesville road. It will be
a part of the 246-acre tract the com
missioners have secured for that
purpose Jhe building will have one
wing for white prisoners and one for
colored.
The Upson camp has an average of
’’5 prisoners on hand, although it
varies considerably from time ' to
time.
The present emp is too small to al
low adding additional housing facili
ties needed to care for the number
of white prisoners the county is get
ting at present.
The additional land at the new
camp will be farmed' by the county
for the purpose of feeding the prison
ers.—Thomaston Times.

NEW SENATOR
WILL STRIVE TO
ADVANCE SOUTH
Hopes to Extend 2-Year Georgia
Southwestern College to Four
Year Institution
Americus, Sept. 26.—C. O. Wtt-
liamson of Eilavilie, new Mantas
from the Thirteenth district, declare*
today that he will “do what the peo
ple who elected me expect” and ex
pend every effort “to extend two-year
Georgia Southwestern College to a
four year senior institution."
Mr Williamson said that the pea-
pie of his district are behind him 10#
per cent and that “someone will have
to show just cause why wo shouldn't
have a four-year college in Ameri
cus.”
"IjCss than one-fourth of the
graduates of ’Georgia Southwestern
College, a junior college and normal
school, go directly to senior college,"
the sonntor pointed out, “but if
Georgia Southwestern College was m
four-year institution, I feel sure that
at least three-fourths would continue
for four years of study.”
He said: “That is a deplorable
condition when they really want edu
cation, but can't afford it because oC
the high cost of attending senior
colleges so far away from, home."
“The people of Schley county have
demonstrated their enthusiasm for
this program .by nomiiWing me as
their senator,” he said, “and I have
been assured of support in my fight
to make Georgia Southwestern Col
lege a four-year institution by rep
resentative from Macon and Sumter
counties, in my district, and by rep
resentatives from other Southwest
Georgia counties’ affected by the col
lege.”
“In a day when a degree is neces
sary for obtaning even a meager jot*'
the poor boys and girls of this sec
tion are not getting what is coming
to them since they cannot attend
senior collage® in other sections of
the state because of the heavy ex
pense, "the new senator said, “an*
I want them to have a school they
can attend to obtain a degree and' be
bn equal footing with the more priv
ileged.’
“I believe in bringing tho college
nearer to the homes of the students •
and making higher education cheap
enough for the average boy and gill
to finish their education and 1 get de
grees,’ he asserted 1 .
He continued 1 ; “Making Georgia
Southwestern a four-year college,
would not necessarily hurt any other
senior college's enroll incut. Of course
it would be available to the students.

But, primarily, it would bring those

ceive their degrees and ,bc better
equipped for their lives of work.”
