} The convict camps were visited and
nspected by the grand jury in a body,
and we find as follows: ]
~ Thirty-eight mules, sleek, fat, and in
excellent condtion, showing care and
painstaking in their keeping; nine dou
ble wagons and harness in good con
dition: forty-two convicts, thirty-nine
men and three women, all colored.
Alil appeared to be in fine spirits and
in good health; no sickness in the
camps at all. All the convicts are
regularly at work on the roads, except
four, one of whom is cook, one night
iwalchman. and two general utility
men. Thre road machines, three dump
carts; six corrugated cars on wheels
}L’ul‘ occupancy by the guards; two
islm\l cages for state convicts. The
I(-on\'ivi stockade is a commodious,
!(‘()11!1'()I'§:1])1k’ and well built structure,
| with steel cage therein and comforta
ble bunks whercon thie inmates can
!1‘0:41 comfortably at night. This build
|ing is also well ventilated. Apart from
'ihu main stockade is a comtiortable
ilmildlng: for women convicts.
E The mule barn with the feed house
| conveniently near are both large and
i‘mnvvnimmy arranged buildings.
E .In the warden's residence we are
| pleased to note is a cozy and well-kent
: home. 5
| We find a blacksmith shop wherein
I is done the repairing of vehicles and
| tools and the mules are shod, another
| instance of practical economy in the
I camps.
i No sickness, no deaths and no €s
apes therefrom,
{ The kitchen we find in a clean and
f.\::‘.mt;n'_\' condition,
| A well of fine cool water forced up
[from a deoth of one hundred and nine
f:y feet in the center of the grounds,
| the pumping being done by a gasoline

i Lholding an edequate supply of water
and at a height to give pressure to sup
{ply tlhierefrem over every section of
the camps. The gascline engine is
irotecied trom the weather by being
well housed. 5
| As evidence of the wisdom of hav
ing a considerable acreage in connec
tion with the camps, the efiicient War
aen, Mr. T. C. Cox, has sewn thirty
five acres in grain, which he has just
wrvested, and the yield is a geod one.
tle also has three acres in sugar

Jtraversed in good condition and are

FT. DOUAMONT ISB
RECAPTURED BY FRENCHMEN
London,'May 23 —The dramatic sur-"
prise spruné by the French yesterday
in attacking the Germans northeast
of Verdun and penetrating Fort Dou
aumont, was successfully followed up
today by General Neville's forces.
The Germans were driven from all
but a small angle of the northeastern
corner of the fort, says today’s official
statement.
A German official statement today
‘however, says Fort Douamont is still
firmly held by the Germans. The
Germans admit the French took some
first-line trenches north of Verdun.
Furious counter attacks were made
by the Germans in efforts to regain
trenches on a mile and a quarter
frent from east of Douamont to
Thiaumont farm captured yesterday,
the French say. The only German
success was the recapture of a posi
tion north of the farm.
On the other side of the Meusc the
battle lost nothing in intensity, but
no ground changed hands.
Gas and flame attacks by the Ger
mans near IHill No. 304 penetrated a
first-line trench but the invaders
were immediately driven out.
The latest from the Austro-Italian
front indicates that the Austrians
are continuing to gain in southern
Tyrel. A current Austrian report
‘claims important successes on the
Lavarene platcau, east of Astico val
ley.
A Rome statement is silent regard
ing the fighting here, but reports re
pulsing the Austrians at other points.
GENERAL RAINS FELL
IN NEARLY ALL GEORGIA
Atlanta, May 23.—Following is a
synopsis of weather and crop con
ditions in Georgia for the week ending
Tuesday, May 23, 1916:
Severe drought continued to prevail
during most of the past week, but
general and abundant rains fell Sun
day evening and Monday over most
of the state except the immediate
coast districts, which were of im
mense value to agricultural interests.
‘ ROCHEILLE 3-YEAR-OLD
SURVIVES MULE KICK
Rochelle, Ga.,, May 26.—The little
3-year-cld boy of Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
i(}.ib{)s, living 6 miles in the country
from Rochelle, had a narrow escape
from death yesterday morning when
a mule kicked the child just back of
the ear, fractuTing” the skull. It was
thought yesterday that the boy could
not live, but fellowing an operation,
it is stated he has a good chance to
‘recovex‘.
SUNDAY CLOSING MOVEMENT
COLLPASES IN LOWNDES
Valdosta, May 23.—The Sunday
closing movement in Valdosta col
lapsed as suddently as it was begun. _
After being closed on Sunday, nearly
all the drug stores, the ice cream
pariors and cigar stands were open
as ‘usual yesterday and did the usual
Sunday business.
Added to the requests of the minis
ters’ committee which endeavored to
put the Ilid on was fear of indictment
by the grand jury in session last week
causing most of the places to close
last Sunday. The grand jury ad
journed last Saturday however, with
out taking any radical action in the
matter of Sunday violations.
