As To Publicity

According to Assistant Solicitor Walter s. Brewer, publicity is part of the pun ishment that should of necessity accrue to all violators of the law.
 Tt Is the most effective punishment, said MT. Brewer, land I congratulate The Age-Herald on its courage in print ing the names of persons connected in all cases of record. This publicity punishes, very often the real violators whom the courts are unable to reach.
 "The theory of punishment is that it will act as preventive. Publicity on a conviction serves notice to thousands that person has been punished and 1t is bound to have deterrent effect on crim- inal activities.
 Tt is also well to publish the names of persons who make practice of appear ing as bondsmen to habitual law-breakers as these persons are often the direct agencies of crime and whom through legal adeptness the courts are unable to reach Publicity brings public notice on the pro fessional' bondsman and in this way he is punished"

Find. Huntsville Prosperous

Huntsville is certainly one of the cities of which Alabama should be proud" said the Rev. W. N. Claybrook, who was formely rector of the historic Church of the Nativity there, and who has Just returned from a short vaca- ton spent in the Spring City.
 Tt had been sometime since I had been to Huntsville and there have been some remarkable changes There Is an air of thrift and industry everywhere A great deal of building Is going on Crowds on the streets indicate pros- perity and general activity.
 Several merchants told me business had never been better with them than it has during the past year and this came as surprise to me inasmYch as the complaint of quietness has been so gen. era1 in the south.
 Huntsville, though, is surrounded by a remarkably rich agricultural section and the farmers of that section do not put all their eggs in one basket either. They raise plenty of other things be- sides cotton. Perhaps this is the real secret of Huntsville's prosperity"
