GOVERNOR SLATON.

In committing the sentence of
Leo Frank we think that Gov.
Slaton has shown that he is by
far the biggest and bravest man
that has had anything to do with
the fate of Frank.
It's bad enough to hang a man
on circumstantial evidence to
say nothing of this all being on
the evidence of a convicted negro
who was telling anything to
shift the killing on some other
than himself.
1t seems that Georgia has
shifted herself nothward to want
to hang a man on such evidence.
Frank is a Jew, but that is no
reason why he should not have
the same justice of any
other American citizen, and the
prejudice that was about to send
him to the gallows should not be
allowed to carry any weight
when a man is being tried for his
life.
We admire the governor for
having nerve to do as he thought
was right and not being scared
into letting Frank hang, VIII ich,
as he said, would have made him
a murderer, feeling as he did
about the case.
If Georgia has not the men to
stand up for what is right and
protection to her people from
mob-scared judges and juries
then other measures should be
taken to give them protection.

GOOD CITIZENS AND
CITIZENS.

We can not help admiring the
men and women who place the
welfare of the community side by
side with their own. To our mind
they are GOOD CITIZENS and
the town or countryside is bles-
sed by their presence. We have
such citizens many of them
hereabouts, and you find them
always giving the local business
man the benefit of the doubt, the
first opportunity of making a
a sale, If the local dealer has
the article they want at a fair
price they prefer to buy from
him, knowing full we'll that in
buying from him they are en-
HANGING the welfare of them
selves, the dealer, and the whole
community. They are constant
readers of the advertisements in
the local paper, and because of
this practice they know where
best to find that which they seek
before they 60 out to buy. And
then there are some citizens who
are not of this class, who make a
regular practice of getting stung
by sending their cash to the for
eign dealer who values their
money and not them. They are
citizens, too, but not as good as
as the GOOD citizen.

so SIMPLE IT'S TRUE.

Sometimes we run across a per-
son who always has a wall be-
cause his neighbors have plenty
and he has nothing. And if we
could just follow them to the end
of their careers we would proba-
bly, find the neighbors continuing
in the enjoyment of plenty while
the waller drifts along with his
accumulation of nothing. And
then ii we cared to dig down and
exhume the cause we would
doubtless find the neighbors
working and improving their
opportunities while the waller
carelessly allows his to fit by.
At least that is the way it ap-
pears to us, and it is so simple
we believe it to be true.

the wonderful $500 Durham
Safety Razor which Kinks Drug

His show was so successful that
the entire stock of razors were
sold all sold the first afternoon
and many customers were turned
away. A new shipment is ex-
pected within the next few days
and we understand the prices
will be the same $1.00 don't fail

For two hours each afternoon
and night Mr.. Fowler had the
enormous crowds mystified, and
no one doubted that he was any,
thing else than a wonderful piece

He had perfect control of his
nerves, eyes and muscles, in fact
he looked lifeless and try as you
may you could not change that

THE HOUR OF DAWN.

For many years we as nation
have been sleeping. We have
allowed other countries to become
powerful in offensiv and defen-
sive measures while we have
practically stood still, consumed
with an overpowering desire for
more gold. AS result of this
mistaken policy we are cropping
around in the shadow of war
while we have nothing with
which to make war. We may be
fortunate enough to escape its
terrible consequences, and then
again it may be the means of our
national undoing-no one can
tell. But the hour of dawn
draws near, and the great mass
of the people are rapidly awaken
ing to a full realization of our
perilous position. The time for
defensive action is here-and the
government should act.

short.
A short while ago it was found
that instead of being short Mr..
Crawford had accounted for ev-
cry dollar, and that the State
owed him SAB, which amount was
recently paid to that gentleman.
In view of these disclosures it
looks like Mr.. Crawford has a
pretty good libel case against
Governor Hooper, or somebody
else, if he cares to push it.
The alleged shortage of Mr..
Crawford was the main ground
on which DR.. Nicely and the trus-
tees were dismissed, and since
the charge has been completely
exploded it seems to be the duty
of the Board of Control to rein
state DR.. Nicely as superintendent
of the Western Hospital.
At the time Or. Nicely and the
others were dismissed some very
sensational charges were made,
but were never proven, and it is
now evident that the whole af-
fair was merely a political play.
There is no charge against the
new superintendent, but since
this is a Democratic administra-
ton, and for the additional re as
on that it is only too evident that
DR.. Nicely was mistreated, Dem
ocrats everywhere would like to
see him reinstated, especially as
he is the only applicant for the
place.
DR.. Nicely is an authority on
nervous diseases and is also a
high-class Christian gentleman
and loyal Democrat. He has
been endorsed by county officials,
physicians and leading Demo-
Gratis in Henry and every other
county in West Tennessee. 1t
seems that the Board of Control
should make this appointment at
an early date.
