treatment of prisoners;
Small boys are made to asvsociate with hardened criminals;
Religious services have been denied the prisoners;
Georgia is the most derelict of Southern States in this
matter;

is not the proper man for the office he occupies.
These were the declarations

made bv the Rev. George W.
Crabtree, a prison evangelist,
here to attend the Presbyterian
Assemblies Thursday.
The Rev. Mr. Crabtree nho ha' 1
visited many prisons and prison
camps and has studied them care
fully. deplored the, existing conditions
which he stated were in fome rases
totally lacking In Christianity or hu
manity.
Armed with a letter from R E Da
vison. chairman of the State Prison
Commission, to act ae a passport, the
evangelist visited many of the Stat«»
encampments and other prisons He
declared that when he presented the
letter to Mr. Donaldson and asked
permitrion to hold services in his
camp Mr Donaldson flatly refused
Claims He Ignored Letter.
“Not only did Mr Donaldson refuse
to permi; me to hold services in his
camp.' aid Mr Crabtree, “but he
ignored Mr Davison’s letter also in
this respect. I *ent so far as to tele
phone one of his officials, a warden in
charge of the camp, and asked him if
I could come out and hold services at
night '
This warden informed me that I
would have to get Mr Donaldson
permission to do that He laughed
when I told him I had Mr. Davison's
permission. He told me that I could
not conduct services among the pris
oners in his t amp without the consent
of Donaldson.
“I asked Mr Donaldson if I might
be permitted to hold services there
luring the night time. 1 have con
ducted auch services in practically
every convict camp in this State and
other Southern States, as well Con
•equently I did not expect the re
ception which I received from Don
aldson. He told me flatly that I
could not see hi* prisoners at any
time except on Sundays.''
Charges Inhumane Usages.
The Rev. Mr. Crabtree charged in
his speech that Donaldson's usages
of his convicts are most inhumane.
He declared also that the work of
soul-saving among them was ham
pered. The evangelist averred that
the men were treated more brutally
la thl Fulton County camp than in
that of any other section of the
State.
Mr. Crabtree severely criticised
Donaldson’s action In ignoring Mr.
Davison's letter, declaring that it was
a pointed Insult to the commissioner,
as well Christianity.
Mr. Davison's letter read as fol

A Lace Sale
As This at Nine o’Clock To=morrow

at Wonderfully Low Prices
We would not pose as prophets, but we do predict large, happy
crowds here for laces to-morrow when the covers are lifted at nine
o’clock and this sale gets under way. It will be but the logical
sequence of events—given such a cause at this season—wanted laces
at fr actioned prices—andthe result is—well consider.ycur own wants.
You would ordinarily buy, for a hundred and one purposes,
many, many yards of just such laces within a six months. You
need them, you must have them; no denying that. This sale is
calculated to make it very evident that now is the time to supply
yourself against all the emergencies of a six months. Prices are
fractioned—and the laces are all of that quality that you are
accustomed to associate with Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co., and
therein lies the completed merit of the sale—quality priced.
Here is the schedule of the savings:

duced One-Fourth to One-Half
