NO EDITORS IN STATE
PENITENTIARY ANNUAL
REPORT CLEARLY SHOWS
Interesting: Facts from Report—One
Prisoner Ten Years Old and
Another Eighty.
W. M. Sapp, representative from
Whitfield county in the state legisla¬
ture, has just received a report of the
state penitentiary. Of the 3,654 inmates,
there is not a single editor or newspa¬
per reporter. There is only one printer
—that is there was only one in the pen¬
itentiary during the year 1922, the pe¬
riod covered by the report.
The various tables show much inter¬
esting information relative to the state's
penitentiary. Of the 3,654 inmates, there
are, as stated above, no newspaper men
and no lawyers; but there are men of
practically every other profession. The
numbers of farmers and farm hands
predominate; but that is accounted for
by reason of the large number of Geor¬
gians engaged in farming. There are
601 farmers and 1,085 farm laborers.
Only one physician is listed, six bank¬
ers and three preachers. There’s a long
list of mechanics, garage men, chauf¬
feurs, barbers, dentists—in fact men of
all callings and professions.
Of the 3,654 prisoners, there are 698
whites and 2,956 blacks. Of these 2,051
are married and 1,603 are single. Of the
blacks, there are 944 illiterates, and
there are 92 illiterates among the
white prisoners.
Fulton, by far the largest county in
the state, has 587 of the convicts, and
Dade and Brantley have only one each.
Of the convicts, 2,847 are serving
tl>eir first terms, while the others had
already served one or more terms.
Three are in the penitentiary who are
serving their seventh terms.
That the law is no respecter of youth
or old age is shown by the fact that
there is one prisoner only ten years of
age, and there is one who is eighty.
Two are 12 years; five, thirteen, and
then the number increases rapidly.
There are more 22 years of age than of
any other age—243 of them. Nine hun¬
dred sixty-three are serving life terms.
During the year, 341 of them escap¬
ed from the various chaingangs of
Georgia, and of these, 202 were recap¬
tured.—Dalton Citizen.

LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES '
DO THE CHILDREN UNDERSTAND THE
SONG “AMERICA?”
By: J. O. Martin. State School Supervisor, for North Georgia,
We do not believe that the majority of them do. This is evidenced by the
way in which they spell certain words when writing the song. Some of the
words as they write them, are:
"Tissuf the” for ’tis of thee;
“Libertee” for liberty;
“Father” for fathers
“Thy pilgrum” for the Pilgrims
“Ever mounting side” for every mountain side;
“Nadive" for native;
“Thy" noble free for the noble free;
“Mortle” for mortal;
''Protake” for partake;
“The sound” “roll on,” “grow long,” “for long” for prolong.
These errors show a lack of knowledge of both the geographical and the
historical setting of the song, as well as a lack of the proper analysis of it
on the part of the children.
In addition to the visual instruction from the map, the following historical
information could be given to advantage while the children are learning the song:
The words were written by Rev. Samuel F. Smith, a Baptist Minister who
was born in Boston, October 21, 1808, and died November 16, 1895. One of Dr.
Smith's frienda was Lowell Mason, the eminent musician. A friend had given
Mr. Mason a lot of German mu9io books. Being unable to read German, the
musician took the hooks to Dr. Smith and asked him to translate some of the
songs for him. Dr. Smith says: “Turning the leaves of the book, one gloomv
day in February, 1832, I came acrolss the air 'God Save the King.’ I liked the
music. 1 glanced at the German words at the foot of the page. Under the
inspiration of the moment, I went to work and in half on hour ‘America’ was
the result. It was written on a scrap of paper I picked up from the table, and
the hymn is substantially as it was written that day.”
The hymn was first sung at a children’s Fourth of July celebration at
Park Street Church, Boston. It did not have great popularity until the Civil
War. Since then, it has become the best known and most freqeuntly sung of
our national songs. The tune to which “America” is sung, is the same as that
Used for the national songs of England and Prussia. The origin of the music
is uncertain but it is attributed to Henry Carey, 1745.
It is seen that the inspiration to wrte “America” came as Dr. Smih read
the appeul to God to save the King that he might save the people, and in
con¬
trast he pays an immortal tribute to our country and closes with the appeal to
God, our King, for protection.
AMERICA
My country ’tis of thee, Let music swell the breeze,
Sweet land of liberty, And ring from all the trees,
Of thee I sing; Sweet freedom’s song;
Land where my fathers died, Let mortal tongues awake,
Land of the Pilgrim's pride, Let all that breathe partake,
From every mountain-side^ Let rocks their silence break,
Let freedom ring; The sounds prolong.
My native country, thee, Our father's God! to Thee,
Land of the Noble, free. Author of liberty,
Thy name I love! To Thee we sing.
I love thy rocks and rills, Kong may our land be bright,
Thy woods and templed hills, With freedom’s holy light.
My heart with rapture thrills. Protect us by Thy might,
Like that above. Great God, our King.
GOD SAVE THE KING
God save our gracious King, Thro’ every changing scene,
Long live our noble King, O, Lord, preserve our King.
God save our King; Long may he reign;
Send him victorious, His heart inspire and move
Happy and Glorious, With wisdom from above,
Long to reign over us, And in a nation’s love,
God save the King. His throne maintain.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On him be pleased to pour,
Long may he reign;
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King.
HOW ABOUT IT?
How many people bought Liberty
bonds and have neglected to cut their
coupons and collect their interest?
Many persons in the country,
through motives of patriotism, bought
government bonds during the world
war. Some of them were not familiar
with such transactions, had never seen
a bond, and did not know about being
bondholders and clipping coupons. It
is not surprising, therefore, to hear
that many of these willing investors
have failed to realize the benefits of
their holdings.
The Undersecretary of the Treasury
is authority for the statement that
there are now outstanding matured
coupons on Libery bonds of an aggre
gate value of $58,314,380. It is probable
that a large number of these coupons
will never be presented for payment.

LESS LATIN AND MORE OP THIS
The above lesson is one of which every man, woman and child in the community
should be interested. It is a lesson of co-operation between the home merchants, manu¬
facturer and consumer—an appeal to our community spirit—a plea for us to “get to¬
gether.”
A little less Latin and more civic pride should be taught our children. They re¬
ceive their education through taxation of the home merchant and citizen. So they are
never too young to be shown the folly of sending money away from their home town.
Teach your children to respect the hand that feeds them and to honor the town that
contributes to their welfare. Teach them that buying away from their home town is
a menace to the growth of the community in which they live.
MORAL:—A lesson learned early in life is never lost.
