CRIME SHOULD BE PUNISHED

CRIME SHOULD BE PUNISHED
The following is from a lengthy ar
ticlc in the Columbus (Ga.) Sun.
If individuals knew that murder
was punishable by death, they
would be much more careful how
they use the knife and pistol; be
more apt to refrain from the gratifi-
cation of passion and private re-
venge. They would not get drunk
and then plead that they knew not
what they were doing when they
take a human life. Let
public opinion establish we'll the fact
that crime is to be punished, that it
can expect no sympathy, that mon.
ey can't buy off the penalty, nor elo-
quence release the prisoner; that
murder must be expiated on the gal
lows, and then the pistol and knife
will be laid aside, and the vicious be
forced to think before acting.

In Georgia, manufacturing estab-
lishments are untaxed, and if the
constitutional convention will do it's
duty, such provision will be adopt
ed in this State. With a proper re-
duction of public expenses there
would be no necessity for taxing
every industry in order to raise the
requiredamount. Then capital would
find profitable employment in man
ufactures, and the people who now
suffer from their enforced idleness
would go to work. We have an
abundance of raw materials. Our
forests are full of the finest timber.
The wagons, plows, furniture, hard
ware, hollow-ware, wooden ware,
ETC., that is now sent from the North,
should be made here. All sorts of
manufactured goods are sent here in
large quantities, and the money to
pay for them is sent away, while we
have an abundance of material and
labor to produce everything we need
and large surplus for Shipment
For these materials there is no sale,
and for the idle hands no work.
Every industry is taxed more than
it can endure, and as a result we
have want, misery and wretched
nest, where we should have prosper
ity and happiness.-N. O. Eve. Post

The scene is laid in 1862, in and

the exciting events of that most ex-
citing period. Engrossing interest
characterizes the story and it
aboands in passages of thrilling in

A PROSPEROUS ENTERPRISE

A PROSPEROUS ENTERPRIsE.-
The profits of the Langley Cotton
Factory, at Graniteville, S. c., for
the year 1878 were s5O,991. During
the year two dividends of four per
centum each were declared, and
the company has now to its credit a
surplus of 51,9SS. The produc-
ton of the mill for the year was
122,6S3 pieces, 2,O73,533 pounds, or
6,216,364 yards Of cloth. Cotton
consumed during the year 1878, o.
527 bales, with an average weight of
456 pounds. 1t is questionable,
says the Baltimore Sun, whether
there is a single cotton mill in the
North of a similar capacity that can
make as favorable a showing either
in regard to profit or product.
