ready for the proposition, and, as
THE REVIEW aims to advocate no
measure except for the good of the
whole community, it will not fur
ther urge the matter.
But there is all emergency at
hand. The city council has decid-
ed to purchase fire equipment,
such as hose, hose carts and hook
and ladder truck, and these, to be
effective, must be housed and cared
for. The block on which the city
building now stands has passed
into the hands of parties who in
tend building and improving the
same for business purposes, and
the city is forced TO seek another
location. What will be done
That land must be secured some
where is a stern fact. The present
council will have TO make the
move in this matter. TO render
he fire apparatus OF benefit, a site
must be selected in close proximity
to the present business center. No
matter in what direction from the
corner of Jersey and Philadelphia
streets, it should be close in. II
would be wise, we think, to secure
an entire block, if possible, with
the view of providing for the re-
quircments of the near future.
The cost, Of course, would be ma
terially less than either of the park
sites, but public opinion, with few
exceptions, is in favor of sufficient
ground both for present and future
and we believe the coun.
ell will be fully justified in making
the purchase at once, before values
increase, as they are bound to do.
A few weeks delay will most prob.
ably mean u matter OF several hun.
lrcd dollars to the city.

NECKS TO BREAK IN
A MONTH OF DATE,
Sentence Was Passed Upon
Prisoners.
BOTH GRAHAM AND sRoucAToN
Sentenced to Die Upon Galiows on
January I6th-Condemned Negroes
Not Affected BY Sentence-Court
Adjourns Until Monday.

John Graham and George Brough-
ton, two of the four negroes cow cted
of murder here this week, have been
sentenced TO hang on January 10Th in
expiation for their heinous crimes.
Judge Little )hn passed sentence upon
the two negroes yesterday evening.
The condemned men had no state
ment to make, only asking the court
to be 'as easy!as possible"
Both Broughton and Graham were
convicted this week of two of the most
ruthless, cold biooded murders ever
committedIand the shadow of the gal
lows is upon them.
The circumstances surround ng each
case are well known.
Gfahsm, on returning home from
church on a Sunday summer night,
having just professed conversion, shot
another negro to death. His only ex
PLANTATION of the deed was that he
thought the other party an escaped
convict and decided he would arrest
him.
1t is believed by many, however, that
jealousy III on the part of the murder
or inspired the deed.
George Broughton killed an inoffon-
sensive old negro, Harry Horne, be-
cause the latter protested at Brough,
ton beating his own fe. Horne was
rs or so years old, and the woman had
sought refuge in his house in fleeing
from the fury of her husband.
After having been sentenced to die
on the gaIlows the prisoners were tar
ried back to Jail not in the least cast
down at their impending fate. The
execution will be In private on the date
mentioned, unless prevented by the
usual stay of proceedings.

two other convicted black murderers,

presentments. and were discharged
from further service at this term of
the court. And vast deal of work
was done by it in brief time.

sented by better body of business
men, and the work accomplished and
the recommendations made will re-
dound to the public welfare.
The presentments in full will be pub
lished as soon as possible.
Judge Littleiohn thought at one
time of holding the grand jury through
the holidays, but when Informed yes
terday that the work of this body had
been fully completed he discharged it
for the term. Should necessity re-
quire, another grand jury could be ve~y
quickly drawn.

OF COUNTRY ROADS
Sumter Has Little Reason to Corn
plain Now.

The fearful weather of the past few
DAYS and conse quent cutting up of the
average country road demonstrates the
wisdom of Sumter county in putting
hers in first class condition. There
are many roads leading to Americas
which are now as smooth and firm as
the streets of city, the result of the
excellent work done during the past
two years. Good roads enhance the
value of farm lande, add to the price
of their products in decreased cost of
transportation and contribute to the
convenience, comfort and advantage of
every body in the community. Georgia
is sadly lacking in good roads. Bad
roads annually cost the farmers of this
State many hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Injury to teams, wear and
breakage of vehicles, smailness of
loads, the impossible condition of
many roads during certain months of
the year-all these are costly items and
serious drawbacks and haudicaps to
profitable farming and attractive life
10 the country.
