AA oodrow AA il son had come from the seclusion and quiet of the home where he bravely and patiently waits for his summons from the Creator, to show his respect and ease a genuine sorrow. Only a little while ago lie rode over the same way with AA’arren Harding beside him, in the full bloom of vigorous life, about to take up the burden he was laying down. Harding's consideration for the sick man beside him touched every heart and ' dimmed many eyes that day—it touched Woodrow AVilsou’s heart us few things had. and today he came to pay it back • and put his heart upon his sleeve. Lit tle did anybody dream that AA oodrow 1 AVilsoq would be helping lay AVarren Harding under the sod. but death had given a respite to the one aud abruptly summoned the other. • ■ J. D.

CHARGES AGAINST TREATMENT OF CONVICTS 'ln Georgia.—Bennett Says They Are Being Suspended by Their Thumbs. (By the AHHOciated Press.) Atlanta, Aug. 7.—Charging that “con victs in certain counties in Georgia are being suspended by their thumbs for hours or bound to trees /with heavy chains, or placed in tourture/ boxes,!’ Representative Bennett, of Dodge'i coun ty, attacked the system of punishment now in use at convict camps- at a hear ing before a committee of the Georgia legislature. The committee before ad journing early today voted against a measure 'offered by Representative Ben nett which sought to amend the State’s constitution to restore the use of the strap on unruly convicts. The whipping of convicts was ordered abolished by executive proclamation is sued by Thomas AA". Hardwick while Governor during the early part of this yetfh Since the banning of the punishment, Representative'Ben nett told the commit tee. “horrible, inhuman and cruel meth ods" in state convict camps have Been brought into use. Representative Bennett charged that the “inhuman treatment" had been re verted to “in an effort to control many convicts who have become sulleu, stub born and absolutely uncontrollable since whipping was outlawed in this state.” He declared that in his own county and in other counties of which he had personal knowledge of abolishment of the lash and are Treating unrest, openly de fying orders of wardens and guards, aud refusing to (fork. Cotton Running on High. Charlotte Observer. It will not matter so much about th? government’s estimates on acreage and production, if it will only make another mislick on the score of condition, a lit tle later on. The Memphis correspon dent of The New York Post, is talking of a possible future situation that will lead to “sky-rocketing." In any event, cotton, as The Observer has suggested, is regularly up to stay. The corre spondent we have quoted says that while crop estimate approximate 11,500.- 000 hales, it v is recalled that one year ago the government experts figured that the indicated yield was just a little less than 11.500,000. but reduced it to 10.- •>75.000 bales at the time of the August report. Subsequently the yield proved to be- less than 10,000.000 bales. It is not thought that even with maintenance of the. promise for 11.000.000 bales or more there is chance for prices to work much lower. In the meantime, much is going to depend on the attitude of the Texas producer. wheTTtv comes the early movement, and of the spinners of the world. » Sues Husband Who Opjxises Her Read ing Sunday Papers. New A’ork Times- One of he reasons advanced by Airs, (’iiira Hansen of 5.212 Sixth Avenue. Brooklyn, why she should bo separated legally from George Oscar Hansen is that lie objected to her reading tlie Sunday newspaper, “a practice dear to her heart.” , Mrs. Hansen applied yesterday to Supreme Court Justice Carswell. in Brooklyn, for alimony and counsel fees pending trial of lior action. She charg ed also that her husband was a mem ber of the “Holly Jumpers" and that lie abandoned her. "Aly wife does not have the faith in God that I think she should have." said Hansen in his answer. “I am a member of the Pentecostal Church. The mem bers of this church are not known as ‘Holy Jumpers.’ I do not approve of reading newspapers on Sunday, but I have never forbidden her to read them.” LIGHTNING BOLT KILLS TWO AT DALLAS, GEORGIA Air. and Mrs. Roy Sweat Read, but Child in Alan’s Arms Still Lives.
