THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
‘MOTHER KING’ IS
THE FRIEND DF
PRISONERS
SAN ANTONIO, Tex.—This Is the
story of thfe woman who cleaned up i
one of the worst prison systems In
the country.
It Is due, in great measure, to the
fact that 34 years ago a Texas
ranch girl wanted to be a doctor
and couldn't.
Her father did not think medi
cine a modest calling for his daugh
ter. So they compromised on phar
macy, and the girl, now Mrs. J. E.
King, went to study It at the Sam
Houston Normal School In Hunts
ville.
Now Huntsville Is the seat of the
Texas State Penitentiary "the
walls'' they call It, to distinguish It
from tho 24 prison farms scattered
over eastern and southern Texas.
And it was there that Mrs. King,
who today Is chairman of the Texas
Prison Supervisory Board, got her
first glimpse of a prison and of
prison life.
First Glimpse of Prison.
"Tho first thing I saw In Hunts
ville,” she says, "was the walls. And
they are the last thing I ever shall
forget.
"The girls In school did all they
could for the men In the prison. (
"Then I went to Galveston to
finish my course. In 1805, Governor
Tom Campbell appointed me state
pharmacist. And my life was full
and busy.
After a time I married. My hus
band's chief delight was In spoiling
mo with attention.
•‘For 18 years I led a life of ease.
But always In the back of my mind
was that prison In Huntsville and
those poor men.
"Governor Pat Neff was a warm
friend of mine. In September. 1921,
when he created the prison advisory
board, he put me on It.
"I wanted to refuse, but my hus
band said: ‘The Lord hasn’t given
us any children, so we ought to do
some service."
Needed a Houaekeepr.
The other members named Mrs.
King—she Is "Mother” King to the
convicts—the board's chairman.
From then on, her life of ease was
over.
"I cannot express my feelings on
my first Inspection trip," she re
calls.
"The men were sleeping In wood
en hunks—there was not an Iron
bed In tho whole prison system. And
they had only old dirty and torn
mattresses of straw, hay nnd corn
shurks. I believe there were not 50
pillows In the system.
"In each cell house was an oven
barrel of water and a common
drinking cup. The bunk houses
wore filled with bedbugs. Flies and
mosquitoes swarmed about, for
there masn't a screen or a mosquito
bar In sight.
"I saw right there what the
prison needed was a housekeeper.
Men can't keep house."
And “Mother" King jumped right
In.
She bought Iron beds from the
army surplus for 95 cents a piece
and tore out every wooden bunk,
bo got new mattresses and pillows.
No Mora Chains.
Then sbo abolished the dark cell.
Locked In one, a man had no light
whatever, and no air except what
came through a small pipe In the
floor.
Fifteen years ago eight negroes
were thrown In a dark cell at Re
trieve Farm, and In the little Black
Hole of Calcutta they smothered to
death. This Is a mutter of record
recalled by Mrs. King.
"Hut you can’t find nny dark
cells In Texas prisons now," she
declares.
And next came the passing of the
chslns— great log cabins that used
to hang from the benms In every
prison house: those chains wlht
which men were strung up by tho
wrists until they fainted.
Now “Mother” King has tackled
the whipping problem. She has de
clared herself against the use of the
lash.
"But as long as such a provision
remains in the statutes, the board
cannot prevent Its use." she pays.
"Wo can only recommend the law
he changed.”
Texas opened Its first honor farm
last September as the result of Mrs.
King's report to Governor Neff.
And since then one for negro prls
oners slso hns been established.
"Mi" May Help.
And "Mother" King hope* to have
the honor system extended to every
one of the 24 prison farms.
Other reforms she suggests in
clude: . 4 ...
A hospital on each of the
farms. „
A tuberculosis ranltatlum for the
prison system.
And she probably will get to put
them through for nearly everybody
thinks "Mu" Ferguson, governor
elect, will keep her eye on the pob.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN
■ Sunday evening at 8 o’clock. Rev.
Jos. R. Sevier, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church will preach a
special sermon In a series an
nounced several weeks ago. His
subject will be "The Girlhood of
Augusta”, There is no theme of
greater Importance to the welfare
of our city than this. What are the
temptations of our girls? What
protection Is Augusta throwing
around the future mothers of her
city? Are we giving them every
advantage to make them strong and
worthy citizens? These are some of
the questions which will be pro
pounded at tliiH service.
All who are interested In gtrl3
and young women are cordially in
vited to attend this service.
FIRST BAPTIST
Have you ever wondered why the
second commandment prohibits the
worship of images? In the idol any
thing more than a symbol of the
god which it represents? If not, Is
there any similar danger In the use
of other religious symbols? Did the
Ark of the Covenant, the Tabernacle
in the wilderness, or the Temple In
Jerusalem tend to produce the
same evil effects that were found
among other nations which wor
shipped Images? Is there any sim
ilar danger today through the use
of sacrements, the recognition of
sacred places such as churches, of
days known as "Holy Days” and of
a book recognized as a holy book?
If you are Interested in such ques
tions ns thesq you are invited to
