County Auditing,

The notable improvement that has
marked municipal government in re-
cent years has been the result very
largely of the recognition of the fact
that the management of the affairs
of a city is a matter of business al
most wholly. and should be so treat
ed. Fortunately, this same view in
regard to county government is be-
ing adopted in a growing degree.
The Industrial Index, published in
Columbus, says in an editorial on
the subject:
The grand jury of a Georgia
county has recommended that leg
islation be sought providing for
the semi-annual audit OF books of
county officers by certified public ac-
oountants 1t was declared that it
was impossible for the grand jury to
give this work the amount of time it
should have.
County officials generally I'M
doubtedly would welcome such legis-
Iation. 1t would provide for authori-
tative, efficient and unprejudiced
examination of their books, demon
strating their good stewardship and
in = manner relieving them of certain
responsibility.
LAS is pointed out by the grand
Jurors, committees of members OF
such bodies do not have the time to
make the thorough and careful ex-
aminations that are desirable, and if
they did few of them could do the
work as well as men who make a
business of it,

What Shall We Call Them?

Some of our state contemporaries
have editorially raised the question,
by what title shall lawyers be
known? The VidaIia Advance has
fearlessly attacked a time-hOnored
custom, and announces that it will
never again speak of a lawyer as
colonel unless the title has been
earned by military service. 1t does
not see why admission to the bar
gives any man a right to have a
handle on his name exactly like that
o. the commander of a regiment.
The Savannah News, in discussing
the matter, makes this contribution
to the subject: There seems to be
a general feeling that professional
men should have a title of some kind,
Physicians are addressed as doc
tor, though they have no more right
to the title than a doctor Of philoso-
ply or a doctor of laws. Ministers
are most frequently addressed doc
tor, though the degree of doctor
of divinity may never have been CON
ferred on them. So what are law
yers to be called if not 'colonel?'
The language lacks a word to fill the
place the word monsieur fills in
French. Our mister and sir do
not quite answer the purpose"
If lawyer isn't to he called col
onel' any more the number who will
want to become members of that
profession may be expected to per-
ceptibly decrease. Half of its glory
will be gone.

The Execution of Criminals.

The suggestion has been made in
Georgia that the gallows be abolish
ed and the electric chair be adopted
as a more humane method of execut-
ing criminals. Agitation of the same
question in Alabama has called forth
an editorial in the Andalusia Star
in which the movement is character
lied as silly sentiment" and vigor-
Gus views are presented in opposition
to it. Our Alabama contemporary
why all this hue and cry at this
time? Is it because one or two white
men. perhaps a little more prominent
than the average murderer have
been required to pay the life penalty
for shedding the blood Of his fellow
man? Hanging has been the penalty
for murder ever since the state has
borne a name, and never a word of
protest has heretofore been raised
because Of its cruelty. But now, 10
and behold, because a couple Of
prominent CD gentlemen have been
hanged the state must adopt the cleo
trio chair for the execution of con-
demned criminals Are not all muir
derers more or less on the same lev
ell? Do they not all look alike in
the eyes of the law, whether they
lived, before the crime for which
they are convicted, as high-toned, re-
spectacle gentlemen or as the lowest
species of the brute creation?
Does the man who takes human
life wilfully stop to consider the hui
name way of putting his victim to
death? Does the assassin who slips |
upon and Stays his fellow man give |
thought to the most painless way of
out his nefarious object or
the sorrow and suffering that may be |
caused by his skulking, diabolical |
act? Why then should so much at
tention be given to making easy and |
the execution Of those who |
have brought themselves within the !
pale Of the law and are required |
to pay the penalty for wilfully muir
dering a human being? Away with
such silly sentiment The more ex-
eruciating the death of a criminal
The better the effect upon those who
are inclined to follow in his foot
stems

RESTRICT SALE OF PISTOLS.

From the Triton Gazette.
An eloquent sermon on the need
of law restricting the sale of peck
ct pistols is written on the records of
Tiff county. Under the law requir-
ing those who carry pistols to reg
lister and procure a license 100 white
men and no negroes have registered
with the Ordinary. Many negroes
own and carry pistols in this county,
but they pay no license. The white
men registering are nearly all officers
or men whose calling makes the car
rying of weapon necessary. A peck
ct pistol and a bottle of mean whis-
key make a combination against the
peace and order that has but few
equals. Not only state but ma
tional law is needed prohibiting the
sale of pocket pistols to youths and
irresponsible men. Until such law
is secured Jail sentences instead of
fines for those who carry pistols con-
cealed would have a wholesome eff
feet.
