AN OLD COURT SENTENCE,
A Culprit Was Given Thirty-Nine Lashes for
larceny

While looking through the records at
the court house few days ago a News
reporter came across a sentence that
will seem peculiar 10 those who do
not remember the time when the lash
was applied to the bare backs of offend~
ing culprits. 1t was passed upon one
Ben Still by Judge Wiley &. Parks Of
the county court in 1866, and is as fol-
lows:
"Whereupon, it is considered and adj.
judged by the court that the defendant.
Ben Still, be conveyed back to the coun
ty jail; that the sheriff take him to some
proper place and give him thrty>nine
stripes on his bare back, and then he pa

payment OF said cost that be be impris-
oned in the common Jail of Terrell coun.

Commissioner Stevens Is of the Opinion
That 1t Will Do Some Good.

Commissioner of Agriculture o. B.
Stevens was in Savannah last Thurday,
and is thus quoted by the Savannah
Press: ~The commissioner states that
he has received pretty good evidence
from all sections of the state that the
condition of the farmers is better now
than 10 some time before.
"Mr. Stevens was asked as to the eff
feet of the fertilizer trust upon the far.
mers. He thinks it may do some good.
The trust has already raised prices, he
says, and he hopes in this way that the
farmers will learn how to get along
without such liberal use of the stuff.
1t has at this time caused many
farmer to seriously consider whether
or not it is wise TO pay the increased
price or to let it alone. In many cases
the amount of fertilizer to be used this
spring is TO be very small compared to
the amount used on former occasions
