Editor The Georgian:
In The Georgian under date Of
January IA you invited your read
ers to express their opinions in re-
gard to the King and Nick wilbur
punishment by the gallows. In the
first place, do not ask if punish
ment should be administered by
man-made laws, but rather consult
the Scripture. If our laws were
founded upon the law that Jesus
Christ gave, 1t would be unneces-
sary to ask what the punishment Of
criminals would be.
1t is an acknowledged fact that
man has not given woman a square
deal. We are all familiar with the
passage, do unto others as you
would be done by" Would men al
low women to make laws governing
their property, lives and children?
No! Then you concede that the
dawn of Christianity is yet to come.
Christ taught that man should
love his wife as God loved tho
church, and God gave His only be-
gotten Son to be crucified, but do
statistics show that men have given
themselves for the welfare of their
children and their wives? No! In
the majority of cases, No!
We must consider the different
modes of committing murder.
woman who Stays with shotgun is
certainly not so great criminal
as man who tortures a poor won-
an by neglect, allowing her life to
be a miserable drag, due, perhaps
primarily to insufficient income to
properly care for a large family
Therefore, look to it that men inca
pable of properly caring for large
families secure outside assistance
either through the help of Chris

Doth men and women, or else
through the assistance of our united

WITH one foot spurning
The potter's turning
A wooden wheel to shape the knead-
ed clay:
Will grass grow richer
For a little pitcher
All sadly broken on a windy day?
The goldsmith's blowing
His tube. and glowing
The metals nodded to a tiny star:
Who will look fairer
To be it's wearer,
When some one buys it in the old
bazaar?
The shuttle's flying
AS day is dying:
The old. old pattern is but half be-
gun:
A cloth to pray on
For a child to play on
And crow again at knitters in the

Mr.. Gilmore is ably supported

In Memoriam.

sketch, was born in Union coun-
ty, South Carolina, September
81, 1877. Following the removal
of other members of his family
to Mississippi he came to this
state seven years ago, locating
near Sherman, and by his jovial
and amiable disposition he won
to himself friends numbered
only by the number of his &C
quaintances.
Saturday, March 20, he was
seized with a violent chill, and
the attack rapidly developed into
pneumonia, from the effects of
which he died April 5.
He leaves, besides a host OF
friends, a wife and three chill
dren, aged seven, five and three
respectively, as well as his aged
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. A. Gault, of Sherman, and
five sisters and three brothers to
mourn his untimely taking away.
His sisters are Mrs. Ed. Meng,
Kelton, S. c.; Mrs. John Bollin-
ger, Memphis, Tenn; Mrs. R.
w. McAlister, Tupelo, and Misses
Hassie and Florence, who reside
with their parents. His broth
ers are C. M. Gault, Bonneville,
Miss; J. E. and w. j. Gault, of
Sherman.
He was member of the Bap-
fist church, and also stood high
in the ranks of the Woodmen of
the World and Odd Fellowship.
He took an active part in all
that had to do with the civic,
educational and religious welfare
of his community, and at the
time of his death he was a trus-
tee of the public school of his
community. Until last year
there was no regular organized
church in his community, and it.
was largely through his efforts
that church building was COM
pleted and a church organized at
Macedonia.
He was just entering into the
prime of his usefulness when the
grim reaper, Death. took him,
but his face resolutely set, un-
afraid and undaunted, he enter
ed his long and peaceful repose.
He was kind, loving and af-
fectionate husband and father,
frank and sincere friend. and
If the number of bowed heads
and the long funeral procession
that gathered to pay their last
tribute of respect may be taken
as an index of the esteem in
which he was held, we have an
imposing testimony that will
stand as an enduring tribute to
his sterling worth and undaunt-
ed manhood.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted under the auspices of the
local lodges of Woodmen and

church of Sherman, the services

able to seat all the people who
gathered to pay their last res
poets to the deceased. The
church was draped in crepe. and
the choir, under the direction of
Prof. D. C. Langston, rendered

tones that added to the solmni-
