Alamo is one of the Quickest little

Wheeler county's boosters told the leg
islature last summer it might expect.
That the question of abolishing capt.
tai punishment in Georgia is engaging
the attention of many thinking people
nowadays can not be doubted.
Editorial comment showing how two
OF the liveliest and ablest weeklies
stand reads as follows:
The people of Georgia are against
capital punishment. Within less
than ten years it will be abolished
by act of the Observation-Disclosures

We are glad to have Brother
Rucker on our side of this uues-
ton. Capital punishment is sim
ply legalized murder. That and
nothing more.-Dalton Citizen.
1t is entirely possible that capital
w ILL bt Il lHlng OIL the
past in Georgia ten years hence; and
it is not inconceivable that it may come
sooner
The sentiment against capital pun
ishment is spreading everywhere. In
many nations of the Old World it is
unknown-it has been abolished either
by specific enactment, or relegated to
disuse through deliberate design, as in
Belgium, for instance.
In the meantime a move in the direc-
ton of abolition likely will be taken in
Georgia within much less than ten
years-not unlikely in the next legisla-
ture indeed.
All felons to be executed in Georgia
soon will be executed at some central
point-at the state prison farm, per-
haps-rather than in the county of the
crime, as Is now the law.
When public executions were abol-
ished in Georgia, step in the direction
of abolition of all capital punishment
was taken-when all executions are re-
quired to be performed at a central
point, another step will have been
taken.
There is but one more step to take
and that will land Georgia where so
many who are opposed to capital pun
ishment wish to see her.

signed plan tucked away I'D his (or

OF real money al the expense Of the
state OF Georgia. 1t has the earna r-l<s
OF sort OF cats-paw proposition.
Broad street in Chattanooga starts AT
the Tennessee river and rims nine
blocks to Ninth street. where it hits
the Western and Atlantic property and
stops 1t Is about three times as wide
as whitehall street in Atlanta. II Is
broad In fact as we'll as name II
would be the ideal big business street
or Chattanooga, with an outlet on the
south end. But now some of the lots
along lE7are vacant. while others have
one and two story buildings thereon:
and many OF the larger buildings along
it are rear ends Of Market street stores.
Broad street in Chattanooga. by the
way, originally belonged to the state of
Georgia. having been secured in the
beginning for a Western and Atlantic
right Of way to the Tennessee river
boat landings That's why it's so
broad. Many years ago. however. the
state of Georgia abandoned that part
from Ninth street to the river. and 1t
became street, which it has since re-
NAMED
Here comes the 'joker." If Broad
street can be opened up south from
Ninth street, with a bridge across the
railroad tracks to Main street. there
will be continuous thoroughfare from
the Tennessee river to Lookout Noun
tain, practically on a dead level grade,
and the only such cross-town thor
oughfare in Chattanooga. And, quite
naturally. property along Broad street,
north OF Ninth street, would about dou-

If Chattanooga can condemn a street
right of way through Georgia's railroad
property, by the aid of the Tennessee
legislature there will be some neat lit

prising Chattanoogans.

ANTI-FLY CAMPAIGN
Time to Watch For the Typhoid Fly
and Clean the Town

It's about time for the Typhoid
Fly to come. Are you alive to the
fact that ''It is more blessed to
prevent, than it is to cure?"
A splendid war was waged on the
Fly last year. We think ST. Johns
bury began to think about these
things, but while we were thinking.
other towns, more progressive than
we, were really doing something.
Now this year, we too, hope to see
what clean town, and a determin-
ed war on the pests, will do towards
the determination of what we know
to be menace to our health.
Fly prevention, is easier than
fly destruction. Every fly killed the
first of the season, means hundreds
less flies the last of the season.
A grand cleaning up day is plan
ned about the middle of May, when
we confidently expect our citizens
will feel a personal interest in see
ing how much they can do to help.
| hear some one say: you can
never get rid or f1ies-we have al
ways had them and always will"
Don't be so narrow minded that you
wont try to benefit by the ex-
perienca OF others. If other towns
can reduce the sick list by a syste-
matte killing of flies, it's worth try
ing here, at least. Any one who
doubts the ability of a fly to spread
disease, will surely admit they are
disgustfngly unciean, and a nui-
sance. Then take hold with that
idea in view, never mind why you
kill them, if you only kill them
The only good fly is the dead fly.
Modern knowledge has decided
that the fly is the direct carrier of
Typhoid, Asiatic Cholera, Dysentery
and tuberculosis, and that it is not
the heat alone, which causes the
awful mortality among children,
but the flies. For years Infantile
Paralysis was known to stop raging
as soon as cold weather came, or
in othe' words It stopped when the
flies were gone.
We have endured the presence of
these death carrying pests too long

w. A. Kicker was called on to
tell of his recent trip to Washington
as a delegate to the National Good
Roads Convention from the YER
mont Automobile club. He told III
the Inauguration which ne was able
to witness at good advantage and
said the plan Of road building most
favored at the convention was the
Tennessee plan of bonding the coun-
ties and building a main trunk line
through the state and then several
cross trunk lines. To raise money for
a national scheme of this kind it
was proposed to put a revenue on
tobacco equal to that in 1879 and
it would give a revenue of $65, O00,-
900 per year. Illustrations from Ne
vada showed good results in the
employment of convict labor on the
highways.
F. H. Brooks responded briefly
emphasizing the necessity of more
tenement houses here.
Lynn M. Hays
Lynn M. Hays of Essex juno
ton who was present as the guest
of A. F. Stone, was called on and
said the great need in Vermont was
to keep the money at home and in
vest it in the state. There is in the
Vermont savings banks and trust
companies 500, 0OO,OOU of Vermont
deposits and $80,0OO,OOO of this
is invested outside the state. The
University of Vermont has an en-
dowment of $75O,O0O and every
cent of this is invested outside of
Vermont. Middlebury College with
an endowment of 100000 has
$286,000 outside the state. The
same is true of the individual and
the state cannot develop until it
keeps its money at home and invests
it in home enterprises.
C. w. Steele spoke briefly saying
the local banks did lend money at
home.
Supt. c. F. Palmer spoke of the
additions to be made to the school
houses and said the best asset of
the town was its bright boys and
girls and there was no way in which
the town could be so much benefited
as by helping it's boys and girls and
he was convinced the voters had
done the best and wisest thing in
the remodelling of the
Summer street schools.
Rev. E. T. Fairbanks spoke of the
good such a club could do and of
the benefit they derived from every
one of its meetings and endorsed
what Mr.. Dunnett had said about
the value of small and diversified in
dustries. John w. Titcomb was W led
in as an honorary member Of the
club and the meeting adjourned.
