tmar— « 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- 1 Iron and Brabham I I PEAS I x <• !

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.
