PROBLEMS OF PAVING
*
Mayor and Street Committee
Off to Atlanta
As authorized by recent action of
council, the members of the street
committee and the mayor will leave
tomorrow for a trip of several days
to investigate the matter of street
paving as it is to be seen in a prac
tical way in other cities of the state.
Those who will go in the party of
investigation include Mayor J. E.
Mathis and Aldermen Lee Council, G.
W. Riley and Clarence J. White. They
will leave Wednesday night for At
lanta, which will be the place where
the main investigation will be made.
Other eities in Georgia where paving
improvements are being made will
also be visited.
The party is expected to return to
Amerieus on Saturday, so that their
: work must be completed within a com
paratively short time. All questions
that arise with reference to the prob
lems of what paving material is best
suited to local needs, how it should
be laid, the manner of avoiding fu
ture troubles with reference to the
maintenance of pavements, will all oe
included in the questions to he con
sidered by the members of the party.
|lt is hoped that the investigations
I made will be of great value in de
terminining the kind of paving ma
terial to be used here, w'hi'ch Is the
greatest, question that will arise in
awarding the paving contracts.
Bids on the paving contracts will
be opened Monday, so that the mayor
and members of the party must he in
the city at that time. Though the
| money from the bond issue has not
yet been received, it is hoped that it
I will soon be in hand and ready for
immediate use.

GEN. EVANS GONE TO
GREAT COMMANDER IN CHIEF
State and Veterans tn Pay
Last Tribute
General Clement A. Evans, former
commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, a member of the
prison commission and ‘chosen by
'Governor Hok<* Smith as the next
hdjutant general of Georgia, died at
4:10 o'clock Sunday afternoon at his
residence, 167 Capitol avenue.
He had been in ill health'* for the
past several years, and during much
of that time he was unable to leave
his home. Several weeks ago a se
vere attack of rheumatism confined
him to his bed, and this, combined
with the results of four years hard
ships during the Civil war and se
vere wounds received as a Confeder
ate soldier, and from which he never
fully recovered, rendered his condi
tion almost hopeless.

KICKED ON HIS PRISON
t FARE AND COUCH TOO
i Stephenson Sends Letter to
Sunday School
e Whe ntwo citizens, Messrs. D. F
s Davenport and J. P. Raiford, called
-/at the county jail yesterday morning
t and requested to see Prof. D. T. Steph
s enson, confined there upon charges of
e assault and battery upon a young lady
| at, his studio, they were shown to his
o apartments on the second floor.
-| These apartments are set aside en
s t'rely for white prisoners, and a ne-
e 1 gro prisoner is never confined there
t except negro women, in a remote part
f of the tier of cells.
s| It transpired later that Mr. Steph
e enson’s callers desired to see fo*
-'themselves his condition, and that of
- his food and quarters.
o] Sunday morning a letter from Prof,
f Stephenson, addressed to one of the
-J classes of First Methodist 'Sunday
J School, was read aloud and created
t considerable comment. In the letter,
[it is said, serious charges were made
yof conditions at the jail. '
-| The professor, it is said, wrote that
y his food was rotten, and his bedding
s ‘ and room anything than what it
■.' should be. He implored the aid of his
- Sunday School class to bring about
e. improved conditions.
- J The letter was generally comment
- ed upon by class members, who were
t a little surprised at the missive.
? | While formal action was not taken,
:1 Dr. Davenport and Mr. Raiford,-called
r at the jail to see conditions there for
s themselves.
They found the apartments of the
professor, his bedding, etc., clean
y and wholesome, while some part of
3 his breakfast remaining upon the tab
le appeared palatable and appetizing.
In fact, conditions did not at all con
form to the complains made, Dr. Dav
enport stated.
; The apartment occupied by Mr.
Stephenson was the same occupied by
the Doctors Hinkle for nearly two
l years during their confinement there.
It is on the south side of the build
ing and by far the most comfortable
i one there. Conditions could not be
better in any prison.
One of the best cooks in Sumter
county prepares all meals for the pris
oners and food of best quality is serv
' ed them. Messrs. Davenport and Rai
ford were fully satisfied with condi
tions after their visit to the jail. j *
