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. m DEATHS MRS. IDA T.

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?
