 "Governor iSlaton did his duty"
 thouShtless observer of subsequent
 developments say that he succce ded
 in saving the state the disgrace of
 the murder and that the responsibility for it now rests upon an irresponsi-
 ble mob. Until, or unless the mur
 derers of Frank are made to pay the death penalty for a crime unexampled in the annals of America, hardly eclipsled ill Russian or Turkish rec ords, Georgia, and not the ruffians who took the prisoner flCln ,Milledge- villa to Marietta, must bear the| blame.
 ''There is one thing common to all lynchings. They reflect the attitudeI of the public which holds aloof from the actual murderers as well as that Of the riff-raff which storms the pris- on and commits the decd. Where the act of the mob is passIed over with T little fanfaronade by a circuit judge in charge to the grand jury, no real efforts btIng made to convict the lynchers, the right conclusion is that the public sat heart upheld the crime. If, in this case of more than country wido interest, the government Of Georgia fails to round up and hang thei murderers, no amount of the rhetoric of righteous indignation ut tered by the governor or by anyone else will atone for the murder or re- lieve the moral responsibility the state which, by negligence, permitted it to take placs', and by additional negligence permitted the perpetrators of a ghastly outrage to go unpunish- ed. iF' ming to end, an example of Jew bait ine The crime with which he was charged was horrible, the victim pitt ful, but the circumstances of the trial were not those of an ordinary trial for criminal assault. Governor Slaton, who declined to yield to sentiment of the Jew baiters, stands now in position of isolated eml- nence as a Georgian who would not countenance the crime that was con templated. When the case and the. prisoner passed from his hands it behooved his successor to afford sur- ficient protection to man commit ted to prison for life upon evidence which in an ordinary case would not have resulted in conviction. No eX- plantation of the states negligence in allowing the lynching to occur will be heard patiently outside of Geor- gia.

SOLVING THE SOUrH'S BIG
 PROBLEM.

To obtain for the cotton grower d price for his product that will re- turn him a profit on his investment and labor is the basis of numerous suggestions, but the real solution is being pointed out ill Jefferson cOun- ty this week by the farming experts and business men conducting a series of meetings, practically comprising a short course in agriculture and farm and home economies.
 The solution of the cotton problem lies not in Europe nor in Washington, but right here in the South. The solution of each community's prob Ism lies with that community; the way out for every farmer is within that farmers grasp. Washington may help today, but such assistance would only be temporary, and would really aggrayate the trouble, because if the government wgre to purchase this years cotton crop-which is not Cly--tuClC WSuAN OS who would henceforth depend upon Uncle Sam instead of working ou, their own salvation and becoming prosperous.
 The speakers at the farmers' lnst'~ tute in Jefferson county this week are pointing the right way. They are not misleading any by even suggest ing that the government should take cv.r the crop, but are telling the farmers straight truth: that his flu ture depends upon himself. Ana these experts are demonstrating how .;ucf,.ss on the farm can be achieved. The rulss are simple:
 Produce on the farm sufficient food and feed for the family and stock
 Get to cash basis by growlnS something to market each month.

State Tax Commission.

The commission is after the corpora
tions and those who do not file their re-
port according to law by April 10th, will
be subjected to severe penalties. They
have discovered several corporations that
have never paid taxes and in one case a
corporation which began business in 1895
and has assets over million dollars has
never been assessed and another with
$50, 1000 has been doing business since
1892 and has escaped taxation. Up to
the time of the creation of the State Com
mission 2.aoo corporations in the State
made reports and had paid taxes. Up to
this time 6,ooo have filed reports and will
be taxed and they are still unearthing the
tax dodging corporations. Failing to ap-
ply for listing will not excuse.
The Commission is expected to gather
in number of delinquents, one of whom
has not paid taxes in SO years.

AN APRIL BLIZZARD.


Saturdays snow storm was bowling
success as blizzard. except that the tenn
perature was not low. 1t began showing
about eight o'clock in the morning. and
kept it up fast and furious all day. with
a high wind raging.
Estim ates vary as to the depth of the
snow, it being placed at ten or twelve
inches. All agree. however, that it was
heavier than any during the winter. and
disappeared in the shortest space Of time.
The wind piled east and west roads full
of big drifts and Easter morning brought
real snow blockade in some sections.
Church goers from the country found it
difficult to get to town, and great many
were compelled to spend their Easter
snow-bound at home.
The railroad company sent snow plow
over the Central Division on Sunday
morning. Several big drifts were en-
countered, but the road was cleared with
out difficulty. as the snow was very light,
and did not pack solidly.
Numeroustpatrons of the condensery
were unable to deliver their milk on ac-
count Of the drifted roads, some Of which
were not opened to travel for day or
two.
Easter of 1915 will be remembered as a
snowy one. with more the appearance of
mid winter than spring.

Lime AS A Fertilizer.

Clover has always been the foundation
of successful agriculture and one of the
chief requirements of this plants plenti-
full supply of lime, in the soil. There are
different ideas regarding the best form Of
lime to use and while there may be some
truth in them under certain special condi-
tions the general opinion of those who
have studied the matter is that the whole
subject resolves itself down to the ques-
ton Of getting the most lime for the least
money.
Mr. G F. Marsh the County Agricul-
tural Agent informs us that there is a
great prejudice in this county against the
useNof the ground unburncd limestone or
oyster shells. The only objection he says
that there is to the unburned form is that
it requires larger quantity. for one
hundred pounds of pure lime stone of
oyster shells are only equal to fifty six Of
burned lime or seyenty-6ve of hydrated
lime. Ii is therefore very easy matter
for the farmer to figure out just what the
lime will cost when applied to the land in
either of the different forms.
He states that he was surprised to find
that in the southern part of the county.
where it is necessary to haul burned lime
from ten to twenty miles from railway
station. for the boats will not carry burn
ed lime, that the prejudice is the strongest
even though the farmer might live near a
boat landing and could get the ground
oyster shells delivered by boat from Bal
timore right at his own farm.
In his opinion the cheapest way for the
farmer who lives near the water would be
to have the shells delivered by boat at the
different landings and then to use port
able grinder which can be operated by an
ordinary threshing engine. if this method
was followed the cost of the lime would
be reduced and the expense OF teaming
much lessened.
