To the Whitfield County Grand Jury, April Term. 1921. Gentlemen : In accordance with the laws of the state of Georgia I herewith Submit to your honorable body a report of the operation of the common schools of Whitfield county during the year 1920. During the year 1920, there were in operation 4S schools; 42 for white chil dren and 0 for colored children. In these schools were emplyed 07 teach ers; 01 white teachers and 0 colored teachers. ' W ith the \ recent constitutional amendment giving each county board of education authority to levy not less than one or more thafi live mills for school purposes, each county board of education has power to determine, to a great extent the educational progress of any county. It is our purpose to have one of the best school systems of any county in Georgia. The terms of Hon. W. II. Prater, C. L. Foster. R. L. Mann and J. E. Moore have expired. I beg to state in behalf of these four gentlemen that they have always been, competent, earnest and faithful in the discharge of their duties, and. if your honorable body sees fit to re-elect them. I feel sure that their experience in the past will great ly aid them with the problems of the future. Most respectfully, J. D. Field, C. S. S. Court Order. Whereupon it is considered, ordered and adjudged by the court that these general presentments lie spread upon the minutes of the court and publish ed as recommended. Done in open court.

R., the twenty-third conference was brought to a close following the farewell message delivered by Mrs. R. M. Ilerrou, of this' city, Thursday afternoon.

According to the officers, the still was within a quarter of a mile of Huffman’s home, and they allege that it was being operated by two young sons of Huffman, aged 16 and 13 years. Petty shot and killed Huffman in a row over the division of some whiskey, according to the evidence brought out in the trial at Chatsworth. Petty charged that Huffman, who had been his partner in moonshining. had taken about a gallon more of a “run” than he was entitled to, and in the fight which resulted, Huffman was killed. The still was taken out of the furnace and hidden, however, before officers could get it. Petty was convicted of voluntary^ manslaughter and sentenced to 11 years in the penitentiary. He has begun his sentence. Deputy Collector Camp was tipped off where the still could be found. According to Mr. Camp’s statement, it was discovered within about a quarter of a mile of the house where Huff man’s family lived, and the “travel” was from the house to the still. The still, a small but complete outfit, was brought to Dalton by the officers and was viewed with interest bv manv people. Opening Session. The twenty-third annual conference of the D. A.
