PRESIDENT GATES MAKING
PLANS FOR FALL OPENING
President A. M. Gates of the Brew
ton-Parker Institute will shortly issue
the fall catalog. Within a short time
he will make a thorough canvass for
new pupils, and the fall term will no
doubt open with a very large enroll
ment .
The faculty, it is understood, is not
complete, hut teachers second to
none in a school of its class will be
chosen by the officials in advance of
the fall opening. Aside from local in
terest on the part of the towns of
Ailey and Mt. Vernon, the school, as
a part of the Mercer System, enjoys
State-wide interest and reputation.
President Gates will have the build-

FEARFUL CONDITIONS AT
THE STATE PRISON FARM
(Continued from page 1)
minutely looked over and compari
son will he made between present
conditions and that described or to
be described by the inmates.
Numerous inmates, Judge Searcy
says, will be examined by the inves
tigating commission in executive ses
sion, as well as during the inspection
of the farm by the judges. The ex
ecutive session will be exclusive sole
ly to the five judges and their official
reporter, A. E. Barnes, of the Bibb
Superior Court, through whom infor
mation will be given to the press, ex
cluding in all instances names of the
convicts or anything that will possibly
serve to identify them.
Copious notes are being made on all
the testimony by Judge R. C. Bell of
Cairo, and frequent questions are be
ing asked by him and by Judge Henry
C. Hammond of Augusta, the ques
tions of the latter tending to develop
the prison administration side of the
case.
Christie Gives Testimony.
J. Christie, whose newspaper com
munications brought on the probe,
immediately after he was released on
Superior Court probation from the
farm, gave exhaustive testimony re--
viewing all the allegations he had set
up in his newspaper cards. The com
mission, however, restricted Christie
to facts having to do with whether or
not there has been inhuman treat
ment, improper attention, laxity on the
patt of the officials and the food and
sanitary conditions.
Rev. Donaldson's Testimony.
The testimony of Rev. Bart Don
aldson was pithy and in spots inspired
humor.
Donaldson is from Atlanta, and one
of the workers of the “first aid com
mittee" of the Churches Prison Relief
Association. He said he made several
visits to the prison farm in the last
three weeks and several visits prior
to that time. In the first visits he
said “the sheets on the beds in the
T. B. camp were fearfully marked
with sputum of the patients, they
were covered with flies; the exposed
parts of the bodies of the sick were
covered with flies; everything was
badly soiled," he said.
There were no screens to keep the
flies out, or to keep them in either,
and there were flies everywhere.
There was no water for the men to
bathe in and three of the T. B. men
were sleeping on filthy cots in the
dining hall.
"The whole place practically was
filthy," he said. “I talked to Proctor,
the man in charge of the camp in
which there are about forty T. B.
patients. I want to say Proctor is
a farmer or an electrician; a plain
fellow without any medical knowledge
except what he has picked up from
Dr. McNaughton and the others, hut
who is trying to do the best he can
for these poor fellows. He said the
reason for the condition is lack of
enough appropriation, want of money
by the institution.”
Experts On the Job Now.
“Yesterday I went back out there
with the Anti-Tuberculosis Society of
ficials and two nurses, and say, those
people found lots of things wrong I;
didn’t. They know what’s needed, j
There is no ice; not an ice bag in
the place to put on a dying patient’s!
head; not a phone to call anybody
with when a man is dying; and no
body there to do for them but Proc
tor. The State Board of Health has
never sent a man there; Dr. Aber
crombie has never been there one
time so far as I know, and those poor
fellows seem to be merely shoved off
there to die.
"But listen, you men ; there has been
a wonderful transformation in three
weeks. The place is clean and, be
lieve nie, the whitewash has been ap
plied . ”
When everybody in the room laugh
ed Donaldson quickly explained :
"I mean that literally, not an in
vestigation whitewash now; hut real
whitewash Everything is clean and
shining, and say. they have new sheets
on the cots, real clean sheets. W hy,
the inmates at that place told me ><<-
terday they have been simply rushed
i to death by the guards cleaning up
j and fixing things ever since the day
after the Governor ordered the inves
tigation."
"Did you knew there is a new su
perintendent out at the camp, too?”
asked Judge Patterson of the prison
oornmi'sion
Whv no." replied Pora'd<on ; "well
well; than’- God.”
Fir»t Fresh Meat in Ten Months..
“One of the men out the-r told me.
g-nthmer. they had yesterday the
fi-«t fresh meat ir ten months, think!
of it—and those new, clean shtet'.”
He said one of the complaints by the
inmates is that the doctor very rarely
ever goes to the place, and th:t they!
.nee eompellcd to lie there and see
people around therh die. He said he

The mayor of Vidalia has promis
ed to put tables at the curb market
for us, so the products can be dis
played better and things will be more
sanitary. We hope It will be ready
by the next meeting, which is on
Saturday. They are folks that do
things and I know every thing will
be ready. Ladies come earlier, see
others, and have them come and bring
their cooks. Let us bull'd up our
market and have a city one.

market last Saturday, canned in tin
to show the farmers how to can his
surplus products and bring them back
to market canned.
Our clubs are entering the state
bread contest, they are very much in
terested in it and other counties will
have to do some good work to beat
us.
