MITCHELL
SHOE CO.
North Broad Street
Atlanta, Dec. 22.—The organiza-
ion in Atlanta known as the "com-
nittee on church co-operation,"
called by John J. Egan, Dr. M. Ashby
Jones, Marion Jackson and others,
has addressed to Gov. Hardwick
communication raising a unique ques
tion in respect to the prohibition of
corporal punishment in prisons.
By implication, it is claimed in
their brief, the constitution of the
state prohibits the use of the lash.
The communication cites the fact
that the constitution prohibits the
employment of whipping or banish,
ment as punishment for crime if
state, and then argues If the courts
of law are prohibited in this way by
the state’s organic law, certainly the
direct implication would be that the
prison authorities, who are of less*,
authority and subservient to thi
courts, also must necessarily be ex
cluded from the use of any form of
punishment which the court3 thera-
lelves are not permitted to employ.
On that ground, the committee arguei
corporal punishment is illegal in
Georgia.
The request is made that the brief
and communication be refer-*id to the
attorney general for a legal opinion
and the matter will be given that
course by Gov. Hardwick, who says
the point raised is, to say the hast,
interesting and worthy of careful
nsideration and investigation.
The purpose of the organization is
to’ bring about an order abolishing
flogging in the prison camps, and the
request is made that, if the attorney
general's opinion coincides with the
institutional positloi taken by th !
committee, the prison commission be
directed to promulgate a rule ending
flogging. All prison commission
rules for the operation and regulation
of prison camps must have the ap
proval of the Governor.
DRUG ADDICTS DECREASE
Washington, D. C., Dec. 22 In
recent yean there haa been
marked decrease in the number of
drug addicts in the United States,
according to Col. L. G. Nutt, chief
if the narcotic division of the pro
hibition bureau who has just re
turned to Washington from a trip
through the Weat in connection with
plans for an active campaign against
opiate venden. While "drug boot-
loggers" still constitute a national
menace, he said, their illicit traffic
s more nearly under control today
than it ever baa bean.
Col. Nutt denounced aa without
foundation reports which he said
were current in Chicago to the effect
that habitues of drugs had increased
"about 1,400 per cent." and that
many converts were to be found in
society circles.
KERCH INTS USE ICE ALL
THE TIME
The butcher uses Ice all winter. WHY? The grocer uses Ice all
winter. WHY? Does he love his ice man more or is It be
cause he hee discovered the economy In th« use of Ice?
Hundreds of our best house keepers use Ice through
out the ent're yea-. WHY? Have they discover
ed by experience its va'ue as a food saver, and a
health saver? Eventually all who conelder their con
venience, their health and their pocketbooks will use Ice
through the winter regardless of weather conditions.

STATE RE8T8 IN HERRIN CA8E j May
Marion, Ill., Dec. 22—After eight TURPENTINE
days spent in the introduction of evi-1 Savannah, Ga., Dec. 22.—Turpentine
dence, the prosecution rested yester* firm $1.27% to $1.28; rosin, firm,
the trail of five men charged I
with murder in connection with the LOCAL PRODUCE MARKETS
slaying of twenty non-union miners
during the Herrin riots last June. The
defense will open today.
In the testimony of its last few
itnesses, the state completed its
lation of the events from the time
three mine guards were shot while
driving in a truck from Carbondale
to the Lester mine on the morning
of June 21, to the attack on the mine
that afternoon when three union
miners were killed, the surrender un
der a white flag the next morning of
fortyeight men in the pit and the
slaying of twenty of the prisoners.
All five defendants have been point
ed out in court as having been
with guns during the riots and
eral of them have been nnmed as hav
ing shot down some of the victims
During the course of the presentation
of the state’s case, four of the
vivors of the tragedy have taken the
stand and described.the scenes of hor
ror which they aaid accompanied the
killings.
The cross-examination by the de
fense hnve been brief and apparently
designed to bear out its contention
that the non-union men in the mine
and their employers had incited the
riots for the purpose of having atate
troops called out to protect the pits;
that the guards in the mine were
armed, and that they disregarded
warnings that the operation of the
mine would result in outbreaks.
In their cross-examination attor
neys for the defense repeatedly re
ferred to the non-union workers in
the mine nnd the guards ns “scabs,"
'gunmen,” private detectives and
"spies. *
W. Kerr, chief counsel for the
defense, said he expected to prove
that the 'guards or gunmen" were
the aggressors in the riota and
brought on nny attack that was made
upon them by their acts of provoc*
tion and challenge. He made special
reference to the testimony of Donald
M. Ewing, Chicago newspaper man
and it is expected that the defense
would prove that the incident he re
lated of the refusal to give water to
two men shot at the Herrin Cemetery
never took place, that Bart Grace, a
defendant, had no connection with it
nnd that while Mr. Ewing testified
he reached the cemetery at 10:20
o’clock, evidence would be Introduced
ihow that the bodies of the men
bad been removed almost an bout
evious to- that time.
Mr. Kerr also stated that the testi
mony of Dr. Shipnian, who testified
eyewitness of the death march
from Herrin to the cemetery would
be impeached and evidence introduc
ed to show that Dr. Shipman was not
there at all. n* added that other
witnesses would be Introduced in an
effort to disprove testimony given by
ither of the state’s witnesses.
He further said that the defense
would put
