I,IN WOOD.
The weather is almost unbear
able. the heat is so great. The
thermometer ranges anywhere from
92 to 98 degrees in the shade.
The wheat in this community is
all threshed, and the yield was far
above expectation.
The good rains that fell last
week was a great blessing. The
corn was suffering very much.
Last week was spent in a revival
meeting at the Methodist church of
this place. It began on the nth
instant and closed on the 19th.
There were about thirty conver
sions, and the church greatly re
vived. Mr. Charlie Dunaway, a
member of the Cedartown church,
came over and assisted the pastor.
Rev. J. O. A! Grogan. We have
known Charlie from infancy, and
a better worker for Christ never
went into a church. He seems to
be full of the spirit of God and
every word he speaks seems to
have the desired effect. Long may
he live to lead poor sinful mortals
to Christ.
We are glad to see Mrs. Dorsett,
of Anniston, Ala.,inour town again.
She is visiting her sister, Mrs. Ed
wards.

County School Commissioner R.
A. Clayton visited the school at
this place one day last week.
John F. Glenn, Jno. S. Hurt, H.
W. Dews and H. W. Martin made
their usual trip to Cartersville Sat
urday afternoon, returning Sun
day.
Mr. W. T. Pittard, of Grassda le.
was up Friday.
Miss Clarabel Davidson, who has
charge of the East End school,
made a short visit to. home folks,
near Grassdale, recently.
The friends of Capt. A. J. Tom
linson here ate not the least bit
uneasy as to the final result of the
case of involuntary manslaughter
with which the recent grand jury
charged him. The people here
where the affair occurred know the
facts in the case and know there is
absolutely nothing on which to
base a conviction. Bankston was
one of the very worst characters,
ever brought to this camp and said
repeated! 7 that he would rather
die than vork. The state’s phy
sician in charge pronounced him
not sick, and Capt. Tomlinson’s
prescribed duty in such cases is to
adminster physical punishment.
The story as published in all the
papers has been erroneous as to
the lapse of time between Bank
ston’s last whipping and his death.
He was whipped last on a Thurs
day, eatiy in the afternoon, and
did not die until about 9 o’clock
the following Sunday night. A
short while afterwards the Prison
Commission investigated the mat
ter thoroughly, they had the sworn
testimony of the resident physic
ian in charge and of a number of
well known and honorable citizen.
Capt. Tomlinson was exonerated
by the commission. Gen. Evans
is a member of the Commission and
it would be hard to find anybody
in these parts, at least, who would
question the righteousness of a ver
dict to which he would agree.
Bartow county’s misdemeanor
convict camp is a model one and
without fear of successful contra
diction we state that there is not a
misdemeanor camp in the State
under better discipline, or where
the convicts are better provided
for.
Mr. J. W. Tierce, the superin
tendent, is a conscientious and ef
ficient officer. Everything moves
along without friction. As to the
feeding of the convicts, records
will show that they have been get
ting fully one-fourth more rations
per man than the regulations gov
erning state camps require. It is
true that during the extreme warm
weather the convicts at the camp
in question have not been fed “beef
pork and mutton,” as the grand
jury, desires. The physician in
charge said it was best for them
not to have it during the heated
term. And as it has been but such
a short time since these convicts
were furnishing themselves, such
a radical change of diet would not
be advisable.

were to blame;it all occured through
negligence on the part of the mail
