totally lacking in Christianity

Armed with a letter from R. K Da
vison, chairman of the State Prison
Commission, to aid ae a passport, the
evangelist visited many of thp State
encampments and other prisons. II*
declared that when he presented tne
letter to Mr. Donaldson and asked
permission to bold services in his
camp Mr. Donaldson flatly refused.
Claims He Ignored Letter.
“Not only did Mr. Donaldson refuse
to permit me to hold services In his
camp," said Mr Crabtree, ’’but he
ignored Mr. Davison's letter also in
this respect. I went so far as to tele
phone one of his official** a warden in
charge of the camp, and asked him if
1 could come out and hold services at
night.
“This warden Informed me that 1
would have to get Mr. Donaldson's
permission to do that. He laughed
when I told him I had Mr. Davison’s
permission. He told me that I could
pot conduct services apiorig the pris
oners in his camp without the consent
bf Donaldson.
! “1 asked Mr. Donaldson if 1 might
t>e permitted to hold services there
during the night time I have con
ducted such services in practically
every convict camp in this State and
6ther Southern States, as well. Con
sequently l did not expect the re-
i eption which I received from Don-
Idson. He told me flatly that I
could not see his prisoners at any
tiirie except on Sundays."
Charges Inhumane Usages.
} The Rev. Mr. Crabtree charged in
his speech that Donaldson’s usages
<t»f his convicts are most inhumane.
He declared also that the work of
foul-saving among them was ham-
vangelist averred that
treated more brutally
County camp than in
other section of the
perc*(3. The f
the men were

that of any
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
lows:
State Prison Commission,
Atlanta, Ha.
To the Wardens of the State:
This will introduce to you Mr.
George W. Crabtree, who is a
prison evangelist. Permit him to
eater your camps and preach to
the prisoners and hold religious
services of any kind that he secs
• fit, provided it Is done on Sundays
or at night, when the prisoners
are In camp. Any courtesies
shown will be 'appreciated.
Very truly,
R. K. DAVISON, Chairman.
Scores Boys’ Treatment.
“That small boys should be put in
the company <»f hardened criminals
Is a disgrace to the South,” declared
Mr. Crabtree. In this respect Geor
gia is far behind many of the other
Southern States, many of which have
begun to realize that the prisoner is,
after all a human being and that ef
forts should be made to elevate him
rather than harden him in the ways
of sin. In many Georgia camps I
have seen littlq boys crowded in
camps of full grown men, which 1m
undoubtedly the worst thing that can
be done.
“•Throughout the South, in practi
cally every convict camp that I have
visited, the prisoners receive my
teachings and the services that I hold
in the right spirit. I have had many'
conversations among the prisoners,
and I have yet to find a camp where
the men are not glad to hear me
preach.
Few Guards Are Converted.
"But the greatest trouble is among
the guards and prison official's. In the
five years that I have been doing
evangelistic work In the convict
camps, though the conversions of

Once Perhaps in a Season Such
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 fractioned prices—and the result is—well, consider your own self.
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 withChamberlin-Johnson-DuBoseCo.,and
therein lies the completed merit of the sale—quality priced.
Here is the schedule of the savings:
Linen Laces That Were 15c to $1.50 a Yard Are Re=
duced One-Fourth to Qne=Half
These are Smyrna, Clunv and Torchon edges and i nsertions, both hand-made
and machine-made, one-half inch to four and one-half inches wide.
1,100 Yards of 25c to 60c Laces Are Now 8c a Yard

Fine patterns for waists, for underwear.
A “Little” Sale of Neckwear in Which the
Savings Are Big

down—never allowing them to accumulate.

and voile collars, all white, are 25c and 19c.
Novel 25c embroidered white batiste

four inches wide, white, ecru and black, are
15c.
Mesh veilings, regularly 50c to $1.00 a
yard, black and colors, are, a vard, 15c.
The Savings On These Gloves Should Fit In Nicely

ity, two-clasp, in black, white and tan, at 29c.
