"I am even more confident,” the

American people detire It above any

E CRIME
Prison Board Report Shows
As Many Ornery People
Now A* In Wet Days.
(8pecial to The Banner.)
Atlanta, Ga., June 17.—An analysis
of the knnual report of the Prison
Commission of Georgia, which has
Just been gotten out, does not bear
out the argument made for yean that
a state freed from tbe sale ot strong
drink becomes a state without high
crime.
There are In the penitentiary and
convict camps of the state—under the
control of the prison aommlsslon—
,960 felony convicts, twcsthlrds of
whom, or, to be accurate, i,6Q0 con
victs, are serving life terme upon con
viction of the charge of violent homi
cide, which number rung more than
one-tbird of the prison population.
That, though, represents but a part
of tbe homiofde cases. For all grade*
of homicide, and varying In length ot
sentence, more than half of the prison
population classes under that head, a
total of 1,647.
Two-thirds ot the convicts are be
tween the ages of 18 and 30 years,
at that stage of life, as science
show*, when one Is more Impulsive
nnd hot tempered: 1,600 ot tbe total
number are married, or more than
halt of all the convicts. Tha per
centage cf crime among women runs
low, there being but 109 women In the
total ot 2,950 prleonera.
In education the statue among tbe
convicts is about tbe same as that
among the people outside the prison;
‘10 per cent ot the jrhita prison pop
ulation la classed as illiterate, and JO
per cent of tbe negroes.
