AID TO THE ILLITERATE.
Washington, March 3.—Dr. P. P.
Claxton, United States Commissioner
of Education, says that there are
6,000,000 illiterate men and women in
this country and many millions barely
able to read and write. He declares
this condition is a national disgrace,
which can he wiped out by the time
the next Federal census is taken if
co-operation with the states, school
officers and educational associations
is secured. He asks congress to ap
propriate $10,000 to start this work,
which would mean a saving of $500,-
000,000 a year, now lost to the nation
because of illiteracy. Dr. Claxton says
that the work of his bureau has in
creased nearly fourfold within the
past four years and the demands upOA
the increase in appropriations has
it for help from five to ten fold, while
been less than 25 per cent.

was nothing more than a quarrel.
CON VICTS ABE ABUSED.
I.ittlc Rock, Ark., March 3.—A
grand jury report scores the Jackson
county convict farm. It is stated
that conditions of such shocking pro.
portions have been found to exist
that for the sake of suffering human
ity and the protection of prisoners
soma steps must be taken. Instances
of cruel treatment of the prisoneri
were cited in the report, which, to
use the jury’s words, “Would chill the
blood of civilized persons hearing it.”
It is further charged that sanitary
conditions were of the worse; that
prisoners were charged with clothes
and medicine and their terms extend
ed. and that they were forced to work
when sick or physically unable and
subjected to wicked, cruel and inhu
man punishment.

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
GORKY SLOWLY iARCHITECT INSPECTS
Athens, Ga., March 2, 1914.
Editor Daily Herald: I am one of
the people who work in one of the
cotton mills of Athens. Our time and
our strength are all we have that
has a cash value. There is a little
smallpox and measles in this place
and some wise ones have said “let
everybody be vaccinated.” But just
look it up and see who arc forced to
be vaccinated—fathers,"" mothers, sis
ters, 1 brothers—even to the babes in
mothers’ arms. Just the mill people,
so far as I have been told, just the
mill people! And I can show you
children and parents with arms swol
len and sick all over for four to six
weeks—lots of them. And all this
danger, pain and loss of precious time
to these working people for. what?
Just to head off a mild species of
smallpox that kills nobody and is well
within two weeks—often less time!
Who is profiting at the loss of these
poor people?

Iff THE CRAZE
There seems to have been quite a
bali down on Broad street last even
ing, but in the midst of the gaiety
some of the cooks of the younger set
became seriously angered, both claim
ing the same “man,” and it looked for
a while that someone would be serious
ly cut. It is not known whether the
cutting would have been done with
razors or not, but it is positively true
that if each “best man” had not car
ried off his “woman” there would have
been several Athenians cooking their
own breakfast this morning.
May Bell Young was fined $3 for
starting the disturbance, while Lizzie
Shawl, Hattie Clark and Jennie V. Mc
Coy, being set free, were gallantly es
corted fpbm the court room.
Three dollars making a woman very
expensive, May Bell Young rioon found
herself alone. Her beau had left be
fore the court adjourned.

And then I saw them things, by gol,
And made them help me fill my col.

Rome, March 3.—Maxim Gorky
is back in Russia after eight years
exile, perhaps to die of consumption
before another summer, his physicians
say.
Officially the Russian writer is still
at Ca^pri where he has lived since ban
ishment. while bodily he is at Mas-
tamjaki, Finland, whence he may later
proceed to Moscow. His return Is
generally a secret in Russia, the gov
ernment desiring to take every pre
caution against irritating demonstra
tions by his admirers.
Last year Gorky was included in
the comprehensive amnesty conceded
by Emperor Nicholas and could then
have returned to his native land with
out opposition but he asserted then
that he had no intention of taking ad
vantage of the privilege. His failing
health and longing to see bis country,
however, led him to change his mind
and he just completed the trip to Mas*
tamjaki by easy stages.
Gorky’s friends declare that he con
tracted his disease during confine
ment in the prison fortress of St. Pe
ter and St. Paul, but it is believed his
constitution must have been weakened
by the many years which he spent in
actual want, his feverish energy in
writing and the increaoing labor of
deep study to overcome his lack of
culture.
There has lately appeared an odd
chronology submitted by Gorky to an
editor who had asked for an autobi
ography. Gorky replied as follows:
1862 Born at Nischni-Nowgarod.
1878 Shoemakers boy.
1879 Apprentice to a designer.
1880 Cabin boy on a steamer.
1883 Worker in a manufactory of
biscuits. /
1884 Porter.
1885 Baker’s boy.
1886 Dummy in a village theater.
1887 Fruit seller.
1888 Attempted suicide.
1889 Railway employee.
1890 Clerk to an advocate.
1891 Operative in a salt-mill; later
vagabond.
1892 Wrote the first novel-raker
Cindra.
1903 Celebrity and riche*.
Mr. Favrot, an architect of New
Orleans, recently visited Athens for
the purpose of inspecting the Peabody
hall of the University. He is planning
a similar building for the University
of Louisiana, and stated that the
building here was excellently adopted
to its purposes, and that he intended
to incorporate many of its ideas in his
plans which he will submit to that
university.
