The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1913-03-26
A SAGACIOUS JUDGE. NOTARY
GETS 2 TERMS INSTEAD OF

Fourteen years at hard labor in
the State Penitentiary, ten years
on one charge and four years on the
second, was the punishment pro-
nounced by Judge Chretien We'd
nesday for James j. WouIfe's be-
trayal of the trust of clients and
friends to the extent of peculations
reaching $3.50. 900, it is believed,
says the Times. es.Democrat.
There was bit of sagacity on
the part Of Judge Chretien in the
sentence he pronounced in Woulfe's
case. Instead of giving the notary
a straight fourteen-year sentence.
he imposed a ten and four-year
term that will have the result of
keeping Woulfe behind the bars
quite q longer time Under the
law regarding communication OF sen.
tence, two months are allowed on
the first and second year of a term,
three months on the third and
fourth year. Ia special class for
particularly meritorious service OF
highly exemplary conduct. such
CT mmutation may be increased uI
to double these figures.
1t is said that this latter special
class of communication has been more
in vogue at the Penitentiary. and
that if allowed it. Woulfe would be
able to get out on a fourteen-yeal
term in five years and eight months,
whereas with separate ten-yeal
and four-year term, he will have tc
stay in six years and eight months.
Should the regular scale of com.
mutation be allowed. under the
form of his sentence, he will re.
main in the Penitentiary for nearly
eleven years.

The salary of circuit judges of the
state is increased from $4,000 to $4,000
per year
In view of the fact that there has
never been any lack of candidates for

essary sacrifice.

Rural Social Life.
An interesting talk on the subject
of Social Life in the Rural Com
munity' was given by A. A. Asbahr
instructor in agriculture at the PEN
dleton High school The following
are excerpts from the talk
1--WE must keep our best men and
women on the farms and attract the
superior ones from the city II we ex-
pect the maximum development of our
farm lands and we can not hope to
accomplish this If we do not build
up our social life and make the farm
attractive. There is continual COM
plant that our wealthy farmers are
retiring and moving to town. Little
wonder If we allow sociabilness and
community interests to drop out and
our school systems and roads to de-
cay. We must make the country
more attractive to them than the city
then they will stay on the farms and
spend their money on Improvements
and social unfit
1--WE hear so much about keeping
boys on the farms and making farm
ers out of them. The secret to the
whole matter lies in the fact that
farm life is unattractive to them and
finally they are lured to the city by
its beaming lights and rumbling cars.
To keep the farm boy at home we
must make farm life more attractive.
If possible 1t would be a great thing
for every boy to have a sheep. COW.
pig or a garden to earn a little mon
ey. 1t would give him encouragement
and cheer to be able to do something
for himself and then when the hard
toll comes he does his work with more
vim and JOY because he has an in
terest himself. We must develop his
whole attitude toward farm life from
the ground up If we hope to keep
him there. We should not curb a
boys ambition to earn, as that will be
