GOVERNOR QUOTES HOLY WRIT
BROWN CITES THE MOSAIC LAW
TO UPHOLD HIS STAND.
On Scriptural Statutes He Bases His
Authority For Firm and Unyield-
ing Stand as to Murder.

ing Stand as to Murder.
ATLANTA.-"Wh Whose killeth any
person, the murderer shall be put to
death by the mouth Of witnesses; but
one witness shall not testify against
any person to cause him to die.
Moreover, We shall take no sat
isfaction for the life of murderer,
which is guilty of death; but he shall
be surely put to death.
And We shall take no satisfaction
for him that is fled to the city of
his refuge that he should come again
TO dwell in the land, until the death
of the priest
so We shall not pollute the land
wherein We are; for blood it defileth
the land; and the land cannot be
cleansed of the blood that is shed
therein, but by the blood of him that
shed Numbers 35:30-33.
Upon the above words from Holy
Writ Gov. Joseph NJ. Brown bases his
firm and unyielding stand against
wanton slayers. Recently some one
asked him if he was not opposed to
capital punishment
For reply the governor read the
above quoted verses from the Book
of Numbers AS direct injunction
from the Bible Governor Brown
looks upon this as something no one
can ignore or overcome with mere
finite reasoning.
AS a matter of fact, nothing in his
official life gives Governor Brown
more concern or keener anguish of
soul and mind than the necessity of
having to pass finally upon the fate
of human being. But he has the
stern and somewhat old-fashioned
view that laws are made for the pro-
lection of society and that violators
should suffer penalty for infractions.
He further believes and has dem
onstrated by his acts that the execu-
tive office is not the place to over
JnIOW InS CUR u Vi oven LuIA pIOpCA
verdicts. Therefore, he has and does
make it his creed to let court ver-
diets stand, unless absolutely new
evidence or facts of a material ma
ture are found and brought to him
Some interesting figures were
printed by the Macon Telegraph the
other day showing the record of the
supreme court in affirming 81 out of
ga murder cases argued before it
since March, 1911.
These figures and Gov. Browns
course in the matter of pardons have
attracted attention all over the coun-
try. Observant people believe these
things are making for better observ-
ance of laws and the suppression of
crime. One person keeping tab on
the situation says there is a decrease
in homicides recently in the state.

Iy. Alas these ideals and standards
are disappearing, and the blight now
has designs upon the seat of Senator
Bacon. He came to the senate two
years after Senator Lodge, and he
therefore belongs to the class OF
1895, which includes Senator'S Till
man and Martin. He has been con-
spicuous in the senate. He is es-
pecially prominent in matters ap-
pertaining to foreign rel tions, where
he rivals Senator Lodge. He is a
great stickler to the traditions and
prophecies of the senate. Few men
in that body are better beloved and
more respected, and the constitution
has no more sleepless guard than
he. A valiant defender of that in
strument ever has been Senator
Lodge and his addresses recently
have been the best weapons seen
used in defense of this real charter
of democracy; but Senator Bacon is
so sensitive about the welfare of the
constitution that even Senator Lodge
appears to him an unsafe guardian
of il. with Senator Lodge the con-
stitution is always in danger" once
remarked Senator Bacon on some
Doint when Senator Lodge pleasant
Iy twitted him about his solicitation
for its safety.

AN INTERRUPTED JOY RIDE
CHAUFFEUR NOT ON TO CURVES
AND THINGS HAPPENED.
Young Man Went Motoring in Daw-
son Machine at Cuthbert and
Made Good Newspaper Copy.

son dU anu
Made Good Newspaper Copy.
The current issue of the Cuthbert
Leader contains the following inter-
esting story of what happened to a
Dawson automobile in that city when
the chauffeur went a-ioy riding:
ga wrecked automobile standing
across the road in front of the home
of Mr.. George Mcdonald early Sun
day morning brought to light the
story of joy ride which had a sud
den and rude termination.
Saturday Messrs. Stewart Griggs
and Tom Raines of Dawson motored
to Cuthbert in a Maxwell runabout
belonging to Mr.. Dan Stewart, grand
father of of the former. They had
with them as chauffeur young man
named Thrash.
"Griggs and Raines decided to
spend the night here. About 1870
Thrash decided to take the car out
for a spin, and Aaron Jones and Will
liam McHan volunteered to go with
him on the joy ride.
"They had hardly begun when the
car was headed up Lumpkin street.
This road is fine remarked one
of the boys in front of the Methodist
church. Thrash turned on the juice
and the little Maxwell hit a lively
gait.
The road bends, and Thrash was
not on to it's curves; only the side
lights were burning. Before one
could say Jack Robinson the ma
chine had struck the concrete mount
ing block in front of Mr. George Nc
Donald's home and turned squarely
across the road.
William McHan joined the bird
gang. The steering wheel caused
pain to Thrash in the abdominal re-
gions, Tech Jones did high dive
circus act, going through the glass
wind shield like a bareback rider
through a hoop covered with paper.
Marvellous to relate, not one of them
was injured worth mentioning.
Teck's' face was scratched slightly
and one hand was cut in two or three
places. The jar made him nutty for
two or three minutes.
THE car lost a wind shield, two
tires, a spring and perhaps sustained
internal injuries. 1t was a fit sub
ject for the garage.
"Griggs and Raines returned home
Sunday via the Central road"

SHAKESPEARE CLOSE TO US
Much Interest Manifested in Play at
Cuthbert Monday Night.

1t is a rare thing when play of
Shakespeare is produced in one of our
Southwest Georgia towns, and many
of the citizens of Dawson will no
doubt be interested in the production
on the Andrew College campus at
Cuthbert Monday night of that most
charming play, "a Midsummer
Nights Dream"
This was meant to be woodland
play with trees and flowers and fair
les, and it will be in it's proper set
ting out of doors. The young ladies
of the college will take the parts of
the various characters. The produc-
ton will be under the direction of
Mrs. Bessie G. Collingwood, teacher
OF expression.

OAe of the most ra,lly alive .,sl7
OF the Western Slope is our. sister
town over the hill on the North

world, Paonia is i'll the Fruit World
Throughout Colorado and maiiy adj
jaccnt states the people and indus
tries are coming more and more
to demand Crested Butte coal.
Throughout the same territoy the
people are coming to demand Pao-
MIA fruit. The Paonia Elberta
peach, and the Paonia Jonathan
apple are gaining the reputation of
hcing second to none raised in Colo
RADIO or the'worll.
Just at present Paonia Is looking
forward to the greatest fruit harvest
in her history, In fact the harvest
has already begun and several car
leads have been shipped. Tie only
cause CT anxiety atlpresent is the
scarcity Of laborers. Bat true TO
her spirit she is making every effort
to relieve that. Last Saturday was
Paonia day in Denver. To-day
every man, woman and child IN
the Capital City knows sonc;iiin g
of Paonia and her need OF laborcrs.
There il no doubt she win respond
to that need, not simply that She
help out n sister community but
