Marks Latest Development
In Connection With Recent
Whipping of Four White
Men by Unmasked Band.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 14—Receipt of a
theratening letter by G. R. Griffin,
lieutenant of police, marks the latest
development here in connection with
the recent whipping of four white
men bv a hand of onmasked men.
No arrests have been made yet.
Lieutenant Griffin's reply to the let
ter was that “he.defied the writer or
his gang to face me”. In a state
ment to the Macon Telegraph Lieu
tenant Griffin said:
“I should gladly give up my life
in doing my duty if it is necessary,
in rounding up this gang.”
R. E. Bobo and Gus Roberts, two
of the men who were whipped and
ordered to leave town have already
complied with the command. Bobo
left the city Sunday and Roberts
yesterday.
Ollie M- Perry, a third member of
the quartet flogged and summarily
ordered to leave the city within 36
hours, is still in a serious condition
at his home as a result of the whip
ping. According to his physicians,
he is suffering with tuberculosis. He
is now helpless in bed and it will be
a week, his doctors state before he
can be taken to a tubercular camp
where he was preparing to go for
his health at the time he was flog
ged.
Perry yesterday gave the first de
tails of the attack last Thursday
night:
First Details
“I did not know the members of
the gang” he said. “They drove
up to my place of business in auto
mobiles. One of them thrust a pis
tol into my face, another man push
ed a pistol into Gus Roberts’ face
and a third man struck a customer
over the head with a bottle, felling
him to the floor, where I understood
be was left unconscious.”
Perry said he and Roberts were
handcuffed, blindfolded, pushed into
automobiles and carried to the out
skirts of the city wnere they were
beaten “most to death.”
I asked them why they were beat
ing me and got the reply ’we’re
cleaning up’. They gave both of us
36 hours in which to leave Macon
or they said they would return and
kill us. Roberts was in better shape
and he has gone. He left the city,
but I do not know where he went.
“I was just fixing to leave for the
mountains of North Carolina. Doc
tors had told me I would have to go
or die ”
Doctors, who took newspapermen
to Perry’s home, removed bandages
from his back to reveal the raw
wounds left by the lash of the flog
gers.
A machine gunner at the Georgia
training school for boys at Milledge
ville, which was visited by a mob
several nights ago in an attempt
to whip two negro employes was still
on duty today although no further
trouble had been reported and the
situation reported as quiet.

“Whereas, the news has gone
abroad that our citizens were in a

tained from the department of jus

STATEMENT IDE
OT MIEU FDR
VETERANS’ BENEFIT
Commissioner of Pensions
Has Given Himself Unreser
vedly For Passage of To
bacco Stamp Tax Bill.
Atlanta. Aug. 14—Major ( . E. Me
Gregor, commissioner of pensions,
who for the past several days lias
given himself unreservrdM for the
passage of the Milner cigarette and
cigar stamp tax bill in order, he says
that “the old soldiers of the state
may be paid the pensions which the
Constitution of Georgia pledged to
them. today gave to the press a
statement which lie says will carr>
to those old veterans and the wid
ows of veterans information tho\
are entitled to.
“In my speech to the senate com
mittee yesterday.” said Major Mc-
Gregor, “I thought I had carried con
viction home to the gentlemen of
! that body and of the Senate, that
this fast fading line of grey and the
widows of those warriors who died
: for our country were holding out ap
pealing hands in justice to the Sen
ate of Georgia. The Senate had
been given that which they, by res
| elution, had called upon the House
10 pass to them in order that both
1 branches could pay those pensions.
T quote from what I said to the
Senate committee:
“I answer to your appeal to the
House of Representatives to raise
I‘additional' revenue (not ihe ordi
-1 nary revenue usually recommended ,
| by the appropriations committee, but
I ‘additional revenue*) to the amount i
; of six millions of dollars, the House '
I has proposed a tax on two luxuries
j —cigars and cigarettes—as that ‘add
itional source of revenue' which will
i raise an amount sufficient to pay
; all veterans and the widows of vet
; erans their claims for 1922 and 1923
and at the same time enlarge the
tuberculosis sanitorium at Alto.
Responded to Suggestion
“Gentlemen of the Senate: The
House of Representatives has pa
triotically responded to your sug
gestions, and I do not believe you
! will refuse to provide shrouds for
j the heroes of the Sixties, and bread
and raiment for their widows that
! an ‘infant’ tobacco industry may
; grow to luxurious manhood—if it
would do that.”
“This has been the last hope of
those old veterans and their widows.
We have exerted ourselves in their
behalf. The Senate, after its call
for ‘additional revenue' and the dis
covery of that ‘additional revenue’
has responded to us.”
“I merely desire to add,” said Pen
sion Commissioner McGregor, “That
I have followed this legislation every
step of its progress, and want to
say to the old veterans of the State,
and the widows of veterans, that we
j are due our appreciation to Prcsi-
I dent George Carswell, of the Sen-
I ate, for coming out of the chair,
j taking the floor in a magnificent
, fight for the passage of the bill and
then, after that, casting the vote
necessary to enact the bill into a
law. It requires 26 votes to pass a
hill in the Senate, and 25 senators on
j the floor had voted for the hill, the
I president casting the final vote.”
The One-Teacher School
The one teacher school in our
state compares with the best graded
schools like “Cinderella sitting
among the ashes.” The building in
which it is housed is usually the
meanest type, of school building;
t lie supplies furnished rural chil
dren are the scantiest. The school
term is usually the shortest and the
! teachers the least exprinced.
The vital factor in making any
school a good school is a skilled
teacher. A good teacher will make
a good school with a “barn” to
teach in. while an inefficient teach
er cannot get results in a modern
equipped building. But 45 per cent
of our one-room school teachers
have graduated from high school
and fewer than four per cent have
completed normal school. It is
difficult to secure and retain for
a period of years the services of a
well-trained teacher in a onc-teach
cr school. The position is more
difficult, than a graded school po
sition, and the salary is less. The
average length of service of elemen
tary school teachers is nine years
in the same school. This is in mark
ed contrast to average one year spent
by the one-room school teacher in
tlie same school.
j Mr Ballard, our state school su
perintendent, says, “consolidation is
the only way we can give the rural
boy ami girl equal educational ad
vantages with that of the city boy
and girl.”
