The governor said Campbel) forfeit ed hie right to citizenship by his com mission of a brutal crime." The letter reads. Editor Atlanta Georgian: (tear Str—While preparing tn leave town for two days, my at tention has been called to an article in your issue of this date regarding an ex-convict.

In my first term as governor the prison commission tecommend ed ihat Campbell be commuted to present service. I examined into the case, "and, finding that Campbell had brutally killed a fellow man, I declined to approve the recommendation of the prison commission. After Governor Smith came into office he commuted Campbell's sen tence from twenty yetrrs to five. The five years expired, I am in f ’med, about a month ago. and Campbell is now free through Gov erne: Smith's action. I will add that I have been re tiuested to remove Campbell’s dis abilities. so as to restore his citi zenship.

TENE R. 1912. Education Board Head Calls G. H. S. Building Unworthy of Pupils Who Go There. It's vacation time today for 132sw»et girl graduates of the high School. "We must outlive the narrow and antiquated sentiment of woman's low standing professionally. When women do the same high-class work that men do they should be paid equally well,' said Colonel Walter R. Daley, presi dent of the board of education, in de livering diplomas to the graduates. "The teachers in the city high schools should be paid upon a basis of merit and not of sex. I advocate an imme diate readjustment of the scale of sal ary, one that shall he fair to the teach er who is doing the work and I intend to work for this as long as I am con nected with the board of education or have any influence at all In school af fairs. “Today the faculty of the Girls High school is receiving n most inadequate compensation. The work they do in .educating the young women of Atlanta is certainly as hard and certainly as important as that done by the male teachers in the Boys High school, and yet because the faculty of the Girls High school is composed of women they receive an average salary fai below that of teachers in the Boys High school, who arc men. Urges New Building For Girls. "The present building in which the .voting women of Atlanta are educated is n monstrosity and I advocate an im mediate issue of bonds for schools alone -o that we may holtse these girls in a building that will be worthy of the pu pils it contains."

TALLULAH FALLS CAMPAIGN ISSDE Conservation Advocates Plan to Bring Out Candidate for Governorship. ! There was a persistent and seeming ly authoritative rumor abroad in At- ■ lanta today that the Tallulah Falls •conservation advocates are seriously considering the idea of bringing out a candidate for governor upon a definite platform’ of conservation, for the pur pose of putting the question squarely ami intelligently up to the people of Georgia. Already a petition for incorporation has been filed in the superior court of Hall county on behalf of the Tajlulah Falls Conservation and Parking asso cia t ion. The petitioners, headed by Mrs. Hel en Dortch Longstreet, number some .1.00(1 people, representing every county in the state. That Mrs. Longstreet Is in deadly earnest in this matter of conserving Tallulah is not doubted by any one. She says that her death alone can pre vent suit being brought to test the titles to the land and waterways noyv held by the power company proposing to develop them. Mi,?. Longstreet and a number of her associates are reported to have held various consultations recently. In which it was decided that the bringing of suit alone will not be protest of suf ficient magnitude to meet the desires of the Tallulah enthusiasts, as the matter now stands, and that nothing short of referring the question to the entire state, under cloak of a staunch Tallu la hite's candidacy for the chief magis traey. will do. It is said that definite plans have been started to bring forth such a candidate. This interesting rumor, coming right on the heels of Thomas G. Hudson's re tirement from the governor's race, and while the question of other candidates is yet much in the air. has started a good many politicians to speculating a fid wondering If. after all, Georgia is to have a hot gubernatorial campaign on its bands this summer. - McKee, I'mrle Parish.

Southern shippers have drawn first blood in their tight for the suspension of the Southern Classification No. 39. the new schedules ordered into effect on June 17. The railways' classification commit tee today announced the roads would . suspend voluntarily for 60 days the new schedules. The petition of Southern railroad commissioners and Southern trade bodies recently drawn at a meeting here and presented to the interstate commerce commission still is to be act ed upon. This petition asks for sus pension of 120 days until the new class ification. said to contain numerous in creases in freight rates can be exam ined. j| The action of the railtoads means the docket for complaints on the new schedules will be closed on June 22, which gives only two weeks to study the. classifications, not withstanding the fact that the suspension on its face is for 60 days. For this reason it is likely the rail road commissioners will continue to fight for a 120-day suspension, with every indication of success. 38 ALIENS TO BE MADE U.S. MEN IN TIME FOR 4TH Just in time to prepare to celebrate Independence day. 38 aliens will be come nephews of Uncle Sam in Atlanta July 1. The date of which the natural ization of these men was to be com pleted was set for June 24. but has had to be postponed on account of the ab sence of Judge W. T.

That the real object of the movement' to give city council power to remove officials yvas the retirement on half pay of Chief of Construction R. M. Clayton and Comptroller J. H. Goldsmith, two of the oldest officials of the city, was definitely learned today. Clayton and Goldsmith have served in most important capacities for about 30 years and both are candidates for re-election without, opposition. The salary of Captain Clayton is $4,000 and of Mr. Goldsmith $3,000. The ordinance was framed b.' the or dinance committer- of council and was to have been passed at the last meet ing. Rut it was too broad in its scope. It gave council the authority to retire the mayor or any other official, elective or appointive, at any time by a two thirds vote. Objections were imme diately registered and It is now ,being revised by the charier amendments committee.
