LAW EMF ORCEMENT
RESTS WITH PEOPLE

Montgomery, August 19.-(Speeial)
DR.. A. II. Montgomery. chairman of
the Montgomery excise commission,
has given out a statement in which he
declares that law enforcement rests
with the people and with the juries
rather than with the officers of the
law. DR.. Montgomery says It is the
duty of the people to create strong
public sentiment adverse to blind tigers
and liquor violations, a sentiment
which viii assure the conviction of all
guilty parties.
Or. Montgomery thinks that fine is
not enough to suppress liquor VIOLA
tions. "A fine assessed by a jury for
crime of this kind is nothing more
or less than tacit winking at the
offense. A fine means nothing and eau

without hard labor sentence that an

alton of blind tigers, with their vir-
tually admitted contempt of law and

TEACHERS MUST NOT

Special Lecturers Use
Evening Hours

Montgomery. August tSpecia1)-
Superintendent of Education Henry ].
Wilingham has expressed the wish that
all special lecturers and representatives
of publishing houses who visit the
county teachers institute use the
evening hours for the purpose of speak

Superintendent Wilingham saws that
ne thinks this is wise inasmuch as the
institutes only hold for five days,
which hardly allows sufficient time for
the regular work to be done.
During the summer various special
lecturers and representatives of pub
fishing houses have visited the insti-
tutes, some of whom have used the
regular school hours for the purpose
of speaking on their particular sub
jects. Mr.. Willingham thinks these
lecturers should deliver their addresses
in the evening, which does not then In
