Dr. Preston Ordered to Close
School for Feeble-Minded
l and Send Children to Homes
State Board of Health Knows
of No Way in Which Grace
wood Institution Can Be
Kept in Further Operation.
SCHOOL A VICTIM OF
A SERIES OF BLUNDERS
Ten of the Children Are
Waifs and Have No Place in
the World to Go, Not Known
Just What Will Be Done.
Atlanta. Ga., Sept. 5. —The State
Board of Health has issued instruc
tions to I)r. Preston, in charge of the
School for Feeble Minded in Au
gufcLtf, to procede forthwith to close
the institution and return the unfor
tunate children to their parents or
guardians, because of the absolute
failure of the legislature this year to
make any financial provision for
operation of the institution: the er
ror made by last year’s legislature
in passing the fixed appropriation
bill, and failure of the 1922 legisla
ture to make legal correction of that
error.
This will mean that of the un
fortunate children at the institu
tion 40 of them will be sent back
to places without proper means for
training them in such manner as to
correct curable mental defect, while
10 of them ,who were taken in as
waifs, have nowhere in the world to
go. That 10 are without parents or
living relatives as far as the authori
ties bf the institution know.
Moreover, it means tha' the insti
tution will be totally unable to keep
• its organization intact, or to operate
jhe farm in connection with the
Mistitution. The farm will necessar
ily have to lie idle the balance of
this year and all of next year, and
there is some slight reason to fear
that the entire property may be
ahandoned.
Blunder After Blunder
When the institution was created a
couple of year sago, it was put di
rectly in charge of the State Board
of Health. The 1921 legislature,
in passing appropriation bills for
1922 and 1923, passed one providing
for a maintenance of 825,000 for this
institution, but in drawing the doc
ument the wording was such that the
l appropriation was made only for
lone year, although it was perfectly
lelear that the in tention was to pass
|it up as a regular two-years main
rtcnance measure. The fault was in
k-hc caption of the hill. This year
Vhat purported to he a corrective
measure was drawn to fix the regu
lar maintenance fund of 825,900, and
adding 85,000 to repair buildings.
The paper was prepared in the attor
ney general’s office, and submitted
to the legislature' exactly as drawn
by that department, with the be
lief that it would make the desired

And Now-Profit in Farming
Without the Drudgery
FORDSON power makes more productive
seed beds and the tractor does its work so
rapidly that farm drudgery is passing. Ex
penses are reduced. Better crops are grown.
■ For the job of plowing tough or sticky
i soils, Fordson farmers use the OLIVER DISC
PLOW and do the work easily and well. The
thoroughness of its work has made this plow
standard equipment with the Fordson.
Penetration in the toughest soils is assured
by the design of the plow which throws its
weight to the cutting edge of the discs where
they enter the ground. This penetration is
easily varied for different soils. By simply
turning a crank screw, the penetrating power
His increased or decreased.
Improved scrapers give a mouldboard ef
fect. They leave a well pulverized seed bed
and cover all trash.
To farm the new way means so small an investment
that it is within easy reach of every farmer. Come in and
see the Fordson and the Oliver Special Disc Gang
for the Fordson, and you, too, will decide to be a Ford
son farmer.

Caibarien, Santa Clara, Province
Cuba, —The airplane Sapaio Cor
reia II arrived here from Key West
at 4:30 o'clock tills afternoon.
Short of gasoline, Lieut. Walter
Hinton, who is the pilot of the plane
which is endeavoring to fly from the
United States to Kio de Janeiro, was
forced to land here. He had in
tended to come down in Nuevitas
Bay, 150 miles to the east.
The unfavorable air conditions at
Key West tins morning which re
sulted in the failure of two attempts,
pursued tile aviators in the flight
along the north coast of Cuba. The
big plane bucked headwinds and off
Havana passed through a heavy rain
and electrical storm.
Weather conditions tomorrow, ac
cording to Lieutenant Hinton will
decide whether the voyagers will
make for Nuevitas or Guantanamo,
or attempt to reach Port-au-Prince,

ZEBINA HIGH SCHOOL
OPENS SEPT. 18TH.
The Zebina High School will open
for the fall term of 1922-23 session
on Monday morning, September 18th.
with proficient teachers and more
adequate facilities in every depart
ment than ever before in the history
of the school.
The attendance this year is ex
pected to be the largest in the his
tory of the school and the new
! school building with a few improve
| menls is now large enough to ac-
I commodate any number of students
| that may attend this year.
'Phis school, though still in its
infancy, is moving forward as a
high school. Being only three
years old gives us only a three
year high school but the increas
ing demand for education and the
great financial strain of sending
children away to school makes it an
absolute necessity that the fourth
year lie added to the high school
department. To those completing
the high school course will be
given the equivalent of fifteen units
which will be accepted by the best
colleges in the state by taking an
entrance examination. No bright
intelligent pupil should fear dne of
these examinations. If a pupil fails
in an entrance examination, no
doubt, he would have failed in col
lege if he had entered with the doors
wide open.
It is always conceded that every
high school offers a well arranged
! literary course which any student
may pursue with both pleasure and
profit. The Zebina high school of
! fers such a course from the first
! through the eleventh grades. This
! course of study has been carefully
arranged by experts and will be giv

SEEK IDENTITY OF
MINE WAR VICTIMS
Grand Jury Investigating
Herrin Riot Seek Names of
Unknown Dead.
Marion, Ilk—Deliberations of the
special grand jury investigating the
Herrin riot were widened today. At
torney-General Edward J. Brundage
announced to include application of
the acid test to testimony offered
by witnesses. He predicted several
indictments for prejury in the near
future.
With the appearance of a local
undertaker before the grand jurors
it became known that the grand jury
was seeking to establish the identity
of the slain men. Other undertak
ers will he called tomorrow.
Although no official information
could be obtained, it was understood
that grand jurors were in possession
of certain clues that may establish
the identity of the sixteen bodies
buried in the Potter’s field near
Herrin but the graves are unmarked
except by numbers.
At the time the sixteen were bur
ied Herrin and Marion undertakers
who had charge of the preparations
declared no positive identification
papers were found in the victims’
clothes. A description of each, op
posite a number, entered in a book
kept by the coroner would be lhe
sole means of future identification,
they said.
According lo information made
public, the work of the grand jury
now includes investigation of the 22
deaths; responsibility for the riot,
failure of authorities lo call for
troops, and the veracity of testi
mony offered by witnesses.
“Some of the witnesses who have
appeared before the grand jurors
have not been telling the truth,” At
torney-General Brundage charged.
That a number of the witnesses
who have been before the grand jury
have deliberately prejtired them
selves to thwart justice and protect
members of the mob was intimated
by Mr. Brundage.
Others who declined or who may
decline to testify on the excuse that
they might incriminate themselves
will be cited before Circuit Judge
I). T. Hartwell for contempt of court
Mr. Brundage continued.
C. R. Edirington, secretary and
treasurer of the Greater Marion As
sociation today made public a letter
to a publishing concern in Faist St.
Louis, attacking the publiciity and
characterization given the Herrin
riot by the Illinois chamber of com
merce in its campaign to raise funds
for the prosecution of members of
the mob.
“The Illinois chamber of com
merce," the letter regd,/‘used jijyi
3hire and propaganda that would
lead the outsidf world to believe
that we in Williamson County, were
nothing short of a bunch of barbar
ians and outlaws and we did not
stand for the maintenance of law’
and order. They maintained that
nothing had been done since the
riots in June to bring the guilty
ones to account for the crime. This
statement must have been made
without investigation for it was com
mon knowledge that the investiga
tion started the day after the mas
se rc.
"The county and state are at
tempting to conduct a fair and im
partial investigation of the riots and
it is my opinion that the propaganda
and interference offered by the Illi
nois chamber of commerce is hav
ing a tendency to make t be trial a
fight between capital and labor.”
Within tw’o weeks Williamson
County will face another angle of
the riots when claims totalling near
ly 8250,000 resulting from the burn
ing of the strip mine and the at
tendant disorders are placed before
the board of supervisors for their
consideration.
That the board will not allow the
claims and thereby force the claim
ants into court for collection is a
foregone conclusion.
Mrs. Mabclle Jacobs, widow of
Raymond C. C. Jacobs, has asked for
damages of 85.000 for the death of
her husband. This claim, as well as
all others, was based on an Illinois
riot statute.

MSI# REDUCTION
OF 111016010
Reorganization of Guard Is
Given Serious Considera
tion by Military Committee.
Washington Reorganization of
the national guard on a more econ
omical basis for its peace-time de
velopment, is being given serious
consideration by members of the
bouse sub-committee on military ap
propriations and by war department
officials. Suggestions already have
i been made that the maximum
strength allowed by law be deereas
!ed from 800 men per senator ami
| representative to 450 or 500, making
| a reduction in the organization's
authorized peace strength of about
! 185,000 men.
In a letter to Representative An
thony. Kansas, chairman of the
bouse sub-committee on military ap
propriations which was made public
today. Secretary Weeks pointed out
two methods by which anew. ad
justment of the national guard
might be accomplished. The first
would lie lo limit the strength and
developcment by limiting appropria
tions and the second would prescribe
“a more reasonable requirement as
|to the prescribed peace strength.”
"In my opinion” Secretary Weeks
said "the latter is the fairest and
best; moreover, it is due to both
the national guard and to the war
department to know where
stand. In view of the fact that the
present peace strength was fixed
solely by congress, and being fear
ful of being misunderstood by the
national guard, 1 hesitate to make
any definite recommendations.”
Regarding the possible reduction
in strength, the secretary added “the
suggestion has been made from na
tional guard sources that a peace
time strength of 250.000 or 450 per
senator and representative would
be adequate at the present time.
"This strength.” the war secretary
continued "would permit of the com
pletion of the 18 infantry divisions
a proper proportion of cavalry and
special troop units which are essen
tial and necessary. I consider the
18 infantry divisions the keystone
of the structure and, in my opinion
nothing should he done which would
interfere with their completion. It is
possible that certain auxiliary units
1 which are included in the division
| could he withdraw n such as the air
squardon and the tank company, in
those cases where the state will have
difficulty in maintaining units of
this character.”
Questionnaires already have been
sent by the war department to the
commanding* generals of all regular
army crops areas and by the militia
. J>u reau tu.thc tu£c. ad jut an ts-ge uera 1
requesting their views on anew re
organization of the national guard.
These communication point out that
the “economic conditions confront
ing the government and that states
make it expedient to consider a mod
ification of the allotment of troop
of the national guard to the states.*’
Information collected from the
corps arear commanders and the
state adjutants-genera! will be fur
nished a specia 1 committee which
will be assembled in Washington in
about two weeks to begin work of
drafting a scheme of reorganization.

LOUISVILLE ACADEMY
OPENED ON MONDAY
Good Attendance and Splen
did Speeches Mark Opening-
Day.
The Louisville District School,
better known as Louisville Academy,
was formally opened Monday morn
ing for the school year of 1922-23.
! Pupils were enrolled at tin regular
| school hour afid present indications
are that the total enrollment for the
i new year will exceed that of last
! year. An able faculty beaded by a
noted educator as superintendent is
! planning to make the auspicious be
ginning ail index of tin* year’s work.
Miss Mary Lewis, of Sparta, Miss
Mary Sue Gale, of Louisville, Miss
Agnes ('lark, of Louisville. Miss Hya
cinth McFarland, of Louisville. Miss
Vienna Mae Murphy and Mrs. J. ( .
Ramsey, of Louisville, who were con
nected with the school last year are
well known and beloved for their
execuli\e ability and pleasing per
sonality, and in addition to these the
board has been fortunate in secur
ing the services of Miss Ruth Bishop,
of AugusGv a graduate of Tubman j
High School, who will have charge
of the Latin and French. Mr. W.
H. Smith, of Thomson, will teach
mathematics, and Mrs. W. II Smith
the sixth grade. We welcome to
our town this splendid addition to
our citizenry. Miss Helen Phillips,
a graduate of Raiulolph-Macon Col
! lege, is head of the music depart
ment, while Miss Estill Scruggs will
teach the third grade. Prof. Jor
dan Sandford is tin* superintendent
of the school and in the short while
that he has been in our midst he
has endeared himself to the people
and secured the accord and support
that is meted out only to those who
display born leadership and great
ness of soul. With such a man who
is actuated only by tin* highest prin
ciples of fair play and honor, togeth
er with his scholarship and literary
j ability the school can not but pres
j per.
The program given in tin* auditor
ium Monday morning brought back
memories of ye olden day s when
Louisville was frequently the host!
'to the “literati" of the state. Prof, j
j Sandford had extended invitations to
j several distinguished friends in Au
gusta and the addresses as deliver
ed by the noted visitors were en
j joyed by the big crowd of borne
people who anticipated the pleas-:
Jure. The first number on the pro
gram was a duet by Misses Helen
Phillips and Vienna Murphy. Mr.
j Sandford gave a short reading fol
-1 lowed by a talk by Mr. A. W. Lucky.
1 of Augusta, on the “Mercenary Value
of Education.” By statistics and a
I simple problem in mathematics Mr.
| Lucky proved that each day in
school was worth twenty-two dollars
and suggested that parents invest
in thc"‘-ftiink of Education for their
children, for it is only there that
the investment is secure and thieves
can not break through and steal.
A musical adaption from A Mid
summer Nights’ Dream was sung by
Mrs. Frank Hardeman, Mrs. Phil
lips Abbot, Misses Agnes Clark and J
Polhilt. Prof. A. F. Otis, of \ugus
ta, who spoke briefly and interest-:
ingly was followed by Mr. Clifford |
Sego. principle of the Woodlawn
j School, Augusta. The noble aspir
ation as well as the perfect diction
of this talk stirred the audience lift
ing them for a time above pride in j
the new b'tjlding and joy in the
material manifestations of success,
j Neither railroads, hanks nor houses I
make a nation great, said he. hut the
j state of mind and moral elevation j
;of the people. In closing, Mr. Scgo |
spoke of Augusta paying to Louis
ville a debt of some years stand
ing. Mr. J. W. Farmer went from
Louisville ot Augusta where he was
beloved as he was here. Augusta ;
in sending to Louisville Prof. Sand- ;
ford was repaying the old debt. This!
talk did much to deepen the lies of
friendship between these two old
towns, which in times past have been
the capital of the state and are
even yet, we trust, furnishing Geor
gia with their quota of the state's
greatest capital—fine man and wo
manhood. **
Before the address of Prof. Gar
rett, of Tubman High School, Miss |
Helen Phillips gave a beautiful ren- 1
lit ion of “Liebesfreud” by Krcislcr. ;
I Mr. Garrett spoke on the part 'a j
school board played in success of
a teacher. In speaking of the po
tentiality of tlie child, he said, that
he no longer pointed to a crowd of j
children as presidents, senators, con
gressmen or millionaires, but that !
in looking in their young faces he <
hoped that every child was the em
bryonic worthy citizen, generous
neighbor and good father.
Mr. Lawotn B. Evans was the last
speaker on the program. The hour
was late and the house warm but
the people were reminded of that
old complaint miTfie by guests long i
ago. “Every man doth at the begin- j
ning set forth good wine and when i
men have well drunk then that which,
was worse but here the best hath
been saved, until til clast.” Mr. Ev
ans spoke with bis accustomed spon
taneity, versatility and keen, yeti
whimsical outlook on life that make J
him most interesting when he is
most profound, most serious when ;
he is humorous.
Louisville congratulates Mr. Sand- j
| ford on the friendship of these men
and in so doing congratulates her- 1
j self on having gained such a man
for a citizen and friend.

WORK ON ROAD
Make Highway "Two Hours
in a Ford to Augusta.”
Ihe State Highway Department
| has begun the construct ion of Road
NO. 24 through Jefferson County.
This leads fro Louisville to Augusta,
branching from the Dixie Highway
[that deads from Atlanta to Savan
nah. at Louisville. The Jefferson
County authorities put their chain
gang forces on this road some days
ago and will carry it to the Rich
mond County line at Paterson’s
Bridge. When it is finished it will be
one of the very best roads to be
found and will connect Louisville
and Augusta by only about “two!
hours with a Ford.” The commission
ers estimate that it will require Jef
ferson County’s gang almost a year
to work this link of roads which is
a distance of twenty-five miles.
Altogether the roads of this county
are getting in first class condition,
the commissioners being right in be
hind the work with the help of Coun
ty Warden Otis Stephens.
Recently the commissioners have
bad constructed a good new stockade
for the county chaingang, who are
now housed in an up-to-date stock
ade, new and sanitary. All the old
tents have been discarded and per
manent quarters for the convicts will
be the accommodations for them in
the future. This impovement for

Treat your Rye, Wheat, Oats, Corn and
Peas with Carbon Bisulphide to destroy
weevils.
Inexpensive to use, and absolutely cer
tain in results if simple directions are
followed.
We handle hundreds of pounds each
year, and have never known it to fail to
destroy weevils when properly used.
Don’t wait too long to use it—every day
means loss of seed.
Thousands of bushels of peas were lost
for seed purposes last year by putting
off the application of Carbon Bisulphate.
