literature SO that the same shall include
the mailing Of books, papers. writings,
and prints which outrage religious con-
victions of our citi ems. and contain sour
rilous and slanderous attacks upon
Faith"
At Convention held last August in
Columbus, Ohio, the same resolution was
endorsed and re-enacted.
Considering that the present law am
ply covers the sub ect OF improper i'm
moral literature, does not the proposed
amendment, If adopted by Congress, put
within the grasp of some religious sect
a weapon by which the freedom of speech
and Of the press may be stified? And
would not this be contrary to the spirit
and letter of the First Amendment to
the Constitution, which provides: Con
gress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof; OF abridging
the freedom of speech or of the press?"
Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Elbridge
Gerry, 1893. said, among other things:
1 am for freedom of religion and against
all manoeuvers to bring about a legal
ascendancy of one sect over another;
for freedom of the press and against all
vic ations of the Constitution to silence
by force and not by reason the COM
plants or criticisms just or unjust of
our citizens against the conduct of their
agents"
In letter to Washington in 1892, JEFF
ferson made this comment on the sub
ject of the press: Mature has given to
man no other means of Sitting out the
truth either in religion, law or politics"
If Congress shall accede to the wishes
of the society above mentioned, it would
establish by law an Index Librorum Pro-
hibitorum, which is manifestly in oppo-
s.tion to the genius of our American sys-
tenn of government. 1t is to be hoped,
therefore, that Congress will refuse the
legislation desired.

Sees Danger In This

Dear Editor: -There is very widespread
agitation at the present time in behalf
of civic righteousness and for laws de-
signed to express more clearly the will
Of the people. The cause for this agita-
tion is said to be the unrest and uncer-
tainty which prevails throughout the
world. But in the proposals to accom-
plisn certain reforms, men continue to
differ in opinion as to the value and con-
stitutionality of measures which are de-
signed to ameliorate conditions.
Legislation which will conserve the in
herent rights of all, and at the same
time control ma.efactors of all classes,
high and low, rich and poor, seems diff
ficult to construct. History affords
abundant evidence that statutes designed
for good from the viewpoint of their orr
ginal proponents, have been used to pro-
secute dissenters, especially is this true
OF laws affecting religious relations.
A religious convention was held in
New Orleans, November, 1910, at which
the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the Congress of the
United States be earnestly requested to
amend Section 1898 of the revised stat
utes of the United States relating to the
mailing of obscene, lewd, and lascivious'

PLYMOUTH:R0C
by VICTOR R. BENNETT.

If there is a better breed for the far
mer or for those who desire both eggs
and meat we have failed to find it. AL
| though many have tried other breeds and
| have come back to the Plymouth Rock.
The great popularity that the Barred
Plymouth Rock has attained is without
| parallel in the annals of gallinaculture,
| and no other breed is so highly esteemed
| in this country today
As table fowl they have no equal in
America, as spring chickens they are the
very best; they feather early and mature
with remarkable rapidity; as market
| fowls they always bring the top notch
prices. We do not mean that you should
purchase fancy fowls or show BIRDS but
endeavor to obtain thoroughbred fowls
| or eggs from thoroughbreds. Make sure
| that the birds are healthy and vigorous
individuals and reliable strain. 1t takes
two yards 10 breed Barred Plymouth
one for cockerels and one for pulle;SI
mean by this one for cockerel color and
one for pullets color, and in selecting you
should order light or dark color, and in
ordering male birds for breeding pur-
| poses always look your hens over and
| If they are long in leg or short in back
or have any fault that you can find, buy
male just the opposite. To make 1t
more plain, say your hens were long in
legs, as you know when they are dress
ed for market they will not bring the
OPP notch price. Now to overcome this,
| order a male that is very snort in legs
and you will see in next spring raising
me difference in your market fowls
tudy these points and you will soon
build up a good flock of chickens nevery
way. This very same thing applies 10
dior. If your fow s are too dark breed
1 male two shades lighter and If too
light breed male one shade darker then
you will have it. | bet | have told some
breeders of Barred Plymouth Rocks more
than they ever knew. ! have talked to
lots of Barred Rock breeders who have
come to me for eggs for Matching. They
would not have to talk long before ]
knew they did not know much about
mating Barred Rocks.
In writing this letter ! am only an
sNering so many letters and postals /
lave received asking me what | thought
was the best breed. Now some peop e
nay not like the Rock and there are
several good breeds on the market, the
)rp.ngton. Wyandotte and Rhode Island
Reds, and any of these with good feed
md care will give you grand results and
will grace any poultry yard.

Port Deposit, Nd, April 1, 1912.
Editor CECIL WING,
Dear Sir:-You struck the keynote in
your article on Uhe road question, in last
Saturdays CECIL WING. The roads l
travel over every day have holes where
the water has no chance to get away, but
stays until it dries up; and every time a
team splashes through, the hole gets
deeper
would rather drive over three miles
OF good dirt road than one mile of fancy
pike and two miles of mud holes.
II the roads were put in order at the
proper time, and kept in order with b
split log drag, we would get better re-
suits. Yours very truly,
E. H. ROWLAND.

MILLION DOLLAR COURTHOUSE PLANS NOW BEING DRAWN Architect Wheel0ck Will Submit Work to Board
 of Revenue
ELECTION ON BOND
 ISSUE IS EXPECTED
Need of Courthouse and Jail keenly Felt-Attorney Robert N. Bell Tells of An Experience At
 Courthouse

Architect Harry Wheelock is preparing the plans and prospectus for the proposed N00o,000 Jefferson county courthouse and county jail. The board of revenue, it is stated, will probably call an election soon to determine whether the county shall is- sue bonds for this purpose. The plans will be ready by Friday and will be pre- sented to the board for their inspection.
 The members of the board of revenue are desirous of getting the best possible plan for the new buildings, will give every plan suggested their earnest considera- ton and will outline fully the dimensions and cost of the proposed buildings.
 The need of new home for the county courts is apparent to everybody who has business in the courthouse. One day last week Attorney Robert N. Bell had oc- casion to consult with his client who was on trial for his life in the first division of the criminal court. He looked in vain for place where they could have privacy In speaking of the matter. Mr. Bell said
 The need of a new courthouse grows each day. The present accommodations are entirely inadequate and work a hard ship on all parties who have business in our several courts. It becomes serious when the congestion is such that an att torney has no place to hold private consultation with client whose life and liberty are at stake. Under the existing conditions l was compelled to talk to client in the corridors of the building which were crowded by witnesses for the state and defense. In justice to those who are entitled to a fair trial a new courthouse should be built at once. Of course, there are many other reasons why this should be done, but the incident I related shows the seriousness of the prop osition."

Within 60 days. it was announced yes terday, 1t is expected that cars on the Tidewater street car line will be op- erating from East Lake to Ensley.
