there is something more than
mere pleasure to be derived from the
sport OF yachting. He thinks it has a
direct Influence in building up the per
sonnet of a nations navy. According
to Sir Thomas, the yachting game
breeds in its followers a love for the
sea that in turn has a sure effect on
the spirit ruling the battleships. The
country that plays at Yachting will
work at war more effectively than one
that does not, and that is one reason
why his advice to young Americans is,
Take up yachting" If yachting were
carried on more extensively in this
country Sir Thomas views on the sub
Ject lead TO the conclusion that 'the
United States would have an even
present time"
L my mind" said Sir Thomas,
yacht racing is the cleanest and best
sport i'll the world. 1t is a good thing,
too, for a nation to foster. 1t breeds i'll
young men a love for tile sea that pre-
pares them for the navy in time of
war. Look ut Germany. for instance.

he proposed retiring are not entire.
~ convincing when judged by ordina-
ry standards. Mcfarland states that
he has all the money he wants-Some
$2oo.0o0-and finds training too much
OF Il hardship. Few persons, be they
puGllIstS or otherwise. are satisfied
with the state of their bank accounts.
AS for training being a hardship. most
healthy athletes find pleasure in keep
ing themselves in good condition. Me
tarland never has to work very hard
To get III shape for Il bout. He does
not take on fat as some do and have
to torture himself in order to remove
it. A few days of light work i'm the
gymnasium and Il little road work rem
der him fit for the hardest contest.
In a story written under his own sig
nature Mcfarland states that a boxer
must often 90 without water when
drying out in order to reach n low
notch. However, he can hardly aDply
this to his own ease. as he seldom
makes weight and never boxes ut the
lightweight limit. He can obtain all

NOW GET BUSY.

Now, that the election is over, we
can turn our attention to things of
more vital interest to us in every
way. The election of candidate for
President, however deeply concerned
in the outcome many of us may have
been, will not effect the fattening of
the cattle, or the prospect for good
crops the coming season. If we
would take as much interest in the
development and progress of the
county. and in civic improvement i'm
general as we do in elections, both
State and National, more good would
come to the county,-a better feel
ing would exist and the community
of interest idea would be spread
more effectively. That this town is
in sore need of Boosters Club, I"
or a chamber of commerce or business
@''S'' pSSiSSy w BiNC QuC
to the advantages with which nature
has endowed us, is fully recognized
need. The society recently organized
here, the object of ich was to
create a better feeling among the
people generally, and to make the
town attractive to outsiders, can fill
this long felt want" if the business
men and men of wealth of the town
will give the proper support. Many
Of the leading business men of the
town and county, who have amassed
fortunes hereabouts are morally
obligated to return a part of their
substance to the source from which il
came to fertilize the soil, as il
were, that greater good may come
and more larger fortunes be made by
the development.

AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISH
MENT.

DIR. Mcdaniel, pastor of the First
Baptist church, of Richmond, is lead
ing a movement to have the sentence
of Floyd Allen and his son, Claude.
committed to life Imprisonment. His
other influential men in Richmond.
This old man and his young son are
under the whitening and awful shad-
ow of the electric chair. The day of
their doom is set for less than TWEEN
ty days hence. Their hope of life is
in the hands of the Supreme Court
and failing here, in the hands of the
Governor OF the State. We hasten to
add the weight of our mite of in
fluence to DR.. McDaniels eirorst for
communication. This paper, as its read
ers know. is unalterably opposed to
capital punishment We do not be-
lieve good can possibly result from
capital punishment Certainly no good
can come thereby to the victim. 1t
does man no good to kill him. There
is no repentance or reform in the
grave, whittier he is sent That good
comes to society is at least doubtful.
In those States which have abolished
capital punishment crime has not in
creased, neither does it seem to be
diminishing in the States still holding
it. "Society must be rid of the Grim
inal, we are told. Confinement in
the penitentiary for life is to rid
society eifectually of the criminal
as much so as to put the body under
the ground. Giving a man his life
means another chance" To kill
him is to destroy all possibility and
hope. The custom is barbarous-
heathenish. In the Allen case there
is n strong element of doubt. Their
convictions came while prejudice was
rampant and hot. No mistake will be
made by committing these sentences.
Success to the Evening journal and
DIR. Mcdaniel in their fight on the
side of mercy and New Testament
Christianity.

The Prison..

Pity the poor little city man,
Living his life on the cobble plan,
Walled in with bricks, hearing the
cars,
Cursing the wagon that rattles and
jarsl
Digging a hole for sickly rose,
Nursing spot where an onion
grows
Planting a seed, hoping in doubt
Raising crop where a brick is out |
Pity the poor, prisoned city man
Seventeen steps to the garbage canl
Going to work when his morning
calls,
Coming at night to his prison walls
Walls to the right of him, walls every-
where
Walls barring vision and cutting off
air;
Walls, walls and cobbles-cobbles
and walls
Three marble steps and the Lilliput
hnllsl
Weep for the lot of the city man,
Living his life on the shut-in plan
Three stories high and a roof of tin
Shutting him, blocking him, squeez-
ing him in!
Far from the green, from the birds :;
the trees
Walls all around him to stine the
breeze!
What of the country-the far-stretch-
ing scene
What of the autumn, and gold in the
green?
Tin roof and walls and the Leart of
despair
Cobbles and garbage can,
Life on the prison planl
Come, O We city man, come to the
Music, and sleep, and refreshment are
there!
