a Hit -
stressed by forsc juries and consid
ered a patent recommendation, was
discussed in the report made to the
judge. It was recommended that the
city pass an ordinance increasing police
regulation of these shops, so that the
ease with which stolen goods are dis
posed of be minimized.
The jury was especially insistent that
former recommendations be given con
sideration by county officials and that
an effort be made to induce Fulton's
representatives in the legislature to
urge bills that will enforce the impor
tant ones.
The November jury summarized the
recommendations of the year as fol
lows:
Many Reforms Urged.
Increased power for the recorder.
Provision for a bond approver.
An ordinance forbidding a saloon and
pool room in the same place.
A law allowing the destruction of
liquor seized as contraband.
A padded cell at the jail.
An ordinance prohibiting the sale of
malt liquor by a person convicted of the
violation of the prohibition law.
Better conditions in the. children's
court.
A county home for incorrigible girls
and women.

PRISONERS PICK LOCKS
AND ESCAPE FROM JAIL
MADISON, GA., Dec. 20. —Two white
prisoners. Hall and Benton, each charged
with a felony, have escaped from the
Morgan county jail, and today are at
large. When they were missed by Sheriff
R. B. Aycock, a search of the jail re
vealed a small piece of steel with which
the inner cell door lock had been picked,
and also a roughly shaped skeleton Kej
to the outer jail door, which was made
either by the prisoners or by some one
on the outside for them.
Both of these men had been incarcer
ated for several months, unable to give
bond, and would have remained in jail
until next March.
No clew to their whereabouts has been
discovered by the officers.
