MONDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 27, 1924 SCHOOL CONTROL SOUGHT Bl KIM ATLANTA, Oct. 27.—Charges that the Ku Klux Klan is waging an organized campaign to obtain con trol of the educational forces of the state, working through the Parent- Teacher associations and other branches of school activity, were made before the meeting of the ex ecutive board of the state associa tion at a meeting held in Macon last •week. Mrs. J. E. Andrews, of Atlanta, former chairman of citizenship and member of the board, made the charges, in which she asserted that the “Walker faction of the klan, - ’ chiefly through the work of Mirf. Z. V. Paterson, of Atlanta, who is fifth district vice president of the state association, was bringing every pos sible pressure to bear to align the women in the organization with the Kamelia, the woman’s branch of the klan. Mrs. Andrews asserted that women who would not join the Kakmelia and who were not in sympathy with the alleged effort to deliver control of the state edu cational work into the hands of the klan were being quietly forced out of any positions they hold in the Parent-Teacher associaation, while other women ,who were members of the Kamelia, are put in their places. In her interview Mrs. Andrews emphatically denied any personal feeling had entered into her charges against the klan at the Macon meet ing. Not Attacking Klan. “I am not attacking the klan,” she said. “I do not belong to it or any of its branches, but I have no criticism of any women who do. But I do feel that when any organized faction tries to win control of such a thing as the entire educational system of the state it is time to call a halt. If there is anything at ail that belongs to all the people it is the schools and every one should find in them a purely democraVc in stitution, without the slightest tinge of factionalism, religious intoler,- ance, class division or group con trol.” “Ever since I refused to join the Kamelia, a year and a half ago,” she said, “they have been bringing more and more pressure to bear to force me out of the P. T. A., or else join their secret society. But ~IT neither join nor get out, and lam confident that I will be going on with my work for my own children in the schools and for the children of other mothers long after this lit tle faction of fanatics has been for gotten.” ATLANTA NEGRO IS HERO; SAVES CHILDREN ATLANTA, Oct. 27.— Daring death three times, Paul Russell, ne gro servant, Sunday rescued from a burning residence, two children and their grandmother and salvaged a trunk full of valuable papers and escaped unscathed himself, but for a slight scorching. When the home was discovered enveloped in flames, a check re vealed that Dorothy and Merle Cul pepper, aged 9 and 7 years re spectively, and their grandmother. Mrs. Z. H. Culpepper, were still *n their room on the second floor of the home with all escape except jumping fro mthe second floor cut off. Adopting the methods of a hu man fly, Russell scaled the side of the house and entered the bed room through a window. Shortly, he re appeared with the children, one clasped in each arm. He leaped with them and then returned in the same manner for the grandmother and brought her to safety the same way. He was told that a trunk with valuable papers was still in the house and again he repeated his wall scaling feat and for the third time jumped from the' second floor win dow, this time with the heavy trunk on his back. Just as he cleared the window sill, the roof of the house caved in. Exemption of Industry From Tax (Continued from Page One.) 7. “for a period of not exceed ing five years from the date of the beginning of the building, enlarge ment or equipment of such plant”; Five years is the maximum, the longest time during which such ex emption can be allowed; it may be for only one year, or for two, three, four or five years, just as the peo ple, at an election (as hereinafter explained), might desire and fix. And, too, the period of exemption begins to run from the date of the beginning of the building, etc., that is, the exemption would not be for, ray, five years from the time it was authorized, by a vote of the people, but five years from the date on which they broke ground for the building. This particular provision throws light on the real purpose ’of or ob ject of the amendment; it is not to relieve some person from taxes who is already established in business, but merely to help the beginner, while getting started. An example might best explain: John Smith comes to Georgia co build a cotton mill, he must purchase a site, costing from a few hundtrd to several thousand dollar’ the ftartshis building, - he BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES— The Professor Wins Again By Martin YOU GOING Tt, WJHY.YES- YXYi/YouLD YOU MIND W CWWjLY - f W A\T A M .. lEMME M THE by THE. <-V ' CAN !

And if this relief (exemption) has been the cause of John Smith coming to the State, certainly the county or city hasn’t lost, for he has paid taxes on the land where his HAVE DARK HAIR AND LOOK YOUNG Nobody Can Tell When You Darken Gray, Faded Hair With Sage Tea Grandmother kept her hair beauti fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

If the people of Americus wanted new enterprises and thought this exemption would act as an inducement for them to come to Americus, then an election would be called and the people of Americus would vote whether or not to grant such exemption and for what number of years. The same as to the county. Before anything can be done it will be necessary for the Legisla ture (next Summer or later) to pass what is called “an enabling COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious lung trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germ. Os all known drugs, creosote is rec ognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treat ment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat and lung troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed mem branes and stop the irritation and in flammation, while, the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to consumption. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac tory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat and lung diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long stand ing, is not relieved after taking accord ing to directions. Ask your druggist. Creomulsion Co, Atlanta, Ga.

And, as ex plained above, it is purely local option with each community; if any particular town or county desires to offer such encouragement or in ducement it can do so by a vote of the people; if they do not so desire they will never be effected thereby in any way.

Bristol, Va.—"l can sleep good at night now, something I have never done before in my life," says Mrs. Deala Hawks, of 712 Prospect St., this city, "and it is due to Cardui. “I was always nervous and tossed when I should have been asleep, but since I took Cardui it has strength ened me, and my general health is sc improved that many of the ills from which I have suffered for years have fled. . . “I used to go to bed tired and, when I would get up in the morning, I was still tired. Now I feel like doing a day’s work in my garden or in the house, and I owe all this good health to Cardui, for I had suffered for years until I took it. "I had had female trouble for years and once, for six months, I was flat on my back. I am glad to recommend to other women a medicine which has helped me.” If you are nervous and run-down in health, suffering as Mrs. Hawks de scribes above, it is probable that Cardui will greatly help you.
