may be set forth to sustain a con-
!rary view-but slowly and surely
these arguments and this logic is be-
ing crumbled into dust and sentiment
against capital punishment is grow
ing stronger all, the time. .
The execution of Becker in New
York a few days ago vas a horrible
and revolving thing. It is altogether
probable that the evil effects. of that
execution far outweighed the good
effects-and that practically all of
The good effects, moreover, might
have been preserved by sending
Becker to prison for hard labor for
life, had there been coupled with that
sentence an assurance in the public
mind that Becker would serve his
centence to the limit.
I believe the day is coming. and
coming soon, when capital punish
ment will be unknown-when it will
have been abolished, never to be set
up again; but when that day does
come, the executive right of clemen-
cy will be sharply and rigidly circum-
scribed and restricted, and then this
problem sent down to us as a relic of
barbarism and darkness from half
civilized times will have vanished

AS resaects Augusta, the UP. river
system would be to her benefit, as
the level system would "fow" in this
direction from all over the territory.
The system is equally logical for the
entire Savannah River Valley, but
below Augusta the development of
he "valley system" would flow
away from Augusta.
1t must be kept in mind that the
small tributaries finally reach the
tops of dividing ridges, where descent
is made into other valleys. For in
stance, the Savannah system would
connect over the ridges with the
Ogeechee, Oconee, etc., systems in
Georgia and the .Saluda, Broad, etc.,

For early fall use the best turnip
is the Milan. 1t grows very quickly
and soon comes into use, but is not
suited for winter keeping as it will
get pithy in winter. The Long White
French turnip sown in July will make
fine winter-keeping turnips and of
fine quality. They grow with tops
like the rutabaga and must be sown
