filled, arrived at nine forty-five, and

In the presence of about seven
hundred visitors at the station.
Mayor Luke welcomed the visitors to
the city. He stood on the platform
of one of the cars and talked about
ten minutes, assuring them of an
open house and most cordial recep
tion at the hands of the people of
the city. Never was he more cor-

of pieces at the monument on Broad
Street, and at just before four
o'clock, the line of procession was
taken up to Laurel Hill.
In front were the Children of the
John Triplett Chapter, headed by
the Confederate flag, with Its colore
waving to the breeze. They were a
band of bright, happy looking chil-
drn, who every year go out to bom
or the memory of the dead heroes of
Dixie. A number of the Veterans
were also to the line of march, some
of them wearing again the "Grey,"
and looking as though they might
have stepped out from the columns,
that fifty years ago marched so
bravely to meet the foe. Tho
speaker of the day and citizens,
with some of the Daughters of the
Confederacy, came out In vehicles.
The band which had played for
the march out to the cemetery,
stopped at the gate as tho crowd
filed through and followed to the
stand, playing the grand "March In
i3aul."
The exercises were opened with
an eloquent prayer by Rev. J. M.
Johaston, of the Methodist church.
The band then played softly and
with great feeling, "Nearer My God
to Theo,” the notes of which wore

opposing the flogging of either men
or women by prison authorities

vive the custom of whipping women
prisoners.
“I'have never flogged a prisoner,
man or woman, and I never shall,”
Mr. Wells is quoted as declaring
Mr. Wells sharply criticised fea
tures of Georgia’s penal system
Commenting on the fact that county
wardens and guards are chosen in
Georgia In many instances solely
by friendship or political considera
tion, he said, “A more destructive
system and more demoralizing
effective penology could hardly
devised.”
“If the state must have this
county convict camp system,’*
continued, “It should at least

their broad experience along hu
man lines.

serious and complicated problem

n-TEIUS MEETING
(By Associated Prejs.)
Washington, April 26.—The pur
pose of the income tax is to reach
for taxation those who have escaped
taxes and are tb3 mos* able to bear
them, was the answer given by Re
presentative Hull, of Tennessee,
who is the author of the income tax
bill, to a suggestion that it is class
legislation.
His analysis of the income tax
bill featured the general tariff de
bate today, and declared that the’
masses of the people are paying
more than three hundred and twelve
million dollars in tariff taxes.
Mr. Hull said that the mutual in
surances companies, who have ad
dressed lots of letters to their poli
cy-holders concerning the tax, ws!l
.know that "it is not our purpose to
tax tho proceeds of these policies,
nor any amount of the principal in
vested in insurance, but only tht
gains and profits. This tax would
therefore not increase the prem
iums under any theory of their
dealing.”
