pEATH Law HoRRIBLE and BARBARIt

Primarily through the actiyi-
ties of Duke @. Bowers. of ORES
den, Tenn. a bill to abolish cap
ital punishment and substitute
life imprisonment is now pend
ing in the legislature. From the
fact that human life is involved,
the bill should at once claim the
serious attention of every mem
Der of both houses and cause
them to weigh the matter most
carefully before voting.
It appears from the daily press
and otherwise that the state is
divided on the subject, some
contending for its retention and
some contending for its abolition.
In this state there are only two
crimes for which the law inn
poses the death penalty, and,
believing that even for these
offenses it should not be prac-
ticed, the Courier takes pleasure
in lending its support to the
abolition of what we think to be
a horrible and barbaric law.
Statistics showing that the death
penalty does not protect society,
there is only one other question
arising for consideration
whether or not it is in accord
with the will of Almighty God
and upon this subject there
should be no division. On the
surface it appears that, accord
ing to some passages of scrip,
ture in the old Bible, for certain
offenses the taking of life by
legal execution is justified; bat Z
deeper study of the Bible reveals
the glad fact that to deal death
to your fellow by law or other
wise is contrary to the will Of
Jesus Christ, under whose reigr
we now live. In the old Bible
we find these words: He thai
smiteth a man so that he die,
shall be surely put to DEATH
moreover We shall take no sat
isfaction for the life of a muir
derer, who is guilty of death,
but he shall surely be put e
DEATH" Whose sheddeth man I
blood. by man shall his blood b
she'd" and many other passage.
prescribing the death penalty
But this was under the old dis
pensation and the teachings anC
precepts of the Savior are usec
now instead. Jesus Christ op
posed the laws of the Jews anc
upbraided them for such vile
law as an eye for an eye and /
tooth for a TOOTH" He made rs
law against murder but left i
with temporal government wher
He said render unto Caesar ths
things that are Caesars. /" II
the New Testament, you vii
find no punishment for the mur
derer until he is arraigned be
fore the higher court Of heaven
where there is absolute justic,
and where the truth and the mo
tives and the most secre
thoughts are known by an all
wise, alI-powerful and a merci
full God.

to instruct the average farmer
how to successfully conduct his
farm operations so az to secure a
greater net gain from the farm,
it is necessary to first dednce
from the mass Of agricultural
teachings a few general rules of
procedure. They are called
THE Ten Commandments Of
Agriculture, by the practice of
which a man may be a good
farmer in any state without be-
ing graduate from a college of

cordlng to the soil, with nipple

should be reached gradually
2. Use seed of the best yari-
iety, intelligently selected and
carefully stored.
!, 3. In cultivated crops, give
the rows and the plants in The
rows a space suited to the plant
the soil and the climate.
4 4. Use intensive tillage dur
ing the growing period of the
crops.
5. Secure a high content Of
humus in the soil by the use Of
legumes, barnyard manure. farm
refuse, and commercial fertili
zers.
6. Carry out a systematic
crop rotation with a winter covel
crop on southern farms.
Z. Accomplish more work il
a day by using more horse powel
and better. implements.

SOLDIERS KITS ATTRACTING
A GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION

The soldiers kits, on exhibition at
the Clarendon and Despland hotels,
have attracted much attention, and
Miss Margaret Rhodes has received
quite a number of voluntary subscrip-
lions to the Lafayette fund for the
purchase of these kits to be sent to
French soldiers in the trenches on
the fighting line in the great Euro
pean war
These kits, which include a number
of useful articles for the soldiers
use. are made of American goods by
women reservists in New York city,
thus serving double purpose, as the
women are given needed employ
ment in the making of the articles Of
the kits.
Miss Rhodes is Volusia county
member of the Florida state commit
tee of the Lafayette fund, and one
of the soldiers kits may be seen at
her home, $50 South Beach street,

THIEF USES MMlS TO
 RETURN PART OF THUNDER
Keeps JeweIry Good for Old Gold
 and Sends Trnkets Back

When Mrs. w. s. Lawrence of Is West Moreland street, reported to the police some time ago the theft from her house of jewelry and trinkets valued at upwards of $125, she hard ly expected to ever again see any of her lost valuables. There was no clew upon which to work and the police were utterly at a loss where to begin in an effort to apprehend the thief
 A few days ago and several days subsequent to the robbery Mrs. Law renee received from the post man a package post marked Phoenix Upon opening it she found double paper coffee sack in which had been placed dozen or more of her trinkets which while of intrinsic value to her would profit little to a thief who could real 1 ize upon the jewelry only for the gold they contained The solid gold ar ticles taken and those with more or less valuable settings had been kept by the thief. Although the articles returned to Mrs. Lawrence are less valuable than those re- tained she was overjoyed at re- ceiving back articles which had been in her family for years. The identity of the thief is still a mystery.

Riding his bicycle north on Central avenue yesterday forenoon, Leo Trout man failed to notice the approach from the rear of an automobile of a tra yelling salesman named Symon, and as a consequence he was struck by the machine, dragged several feet along the pavement and sustained a fractured pelvic bone as well as many body bruises. He was removed to his room at the Hotel Hardwick. where Dr. H. K. Beauchamp attended him.
 It was at first believed that Trout man had suffered concussion of the brain, but this was shown not to be true by means of an X-ray photo graph. MT. Symon assisted TroutmaS to the physicians office and arranged for every medical attention as well as necessary repairs to Troutman's wheel. He was not driving at a high rate of speed, was on the proper side of the road and it is reported no particular blame could attach to the driver of his car

MAY BE INTERESTING COMMISSION MEETING
Action of Manager Parish In Remov- ing erisbois May Bring Out
 Protest

Present indications are that the ed for two o'clock this afternoon. will develop into one of the most inter- esting gatherings that body has held since it took office The announce ment from Manager Parish more than week ago of his intention to re- move Chief of Police Brisbois has created no end of talk about town and there are those who say they in tend to appear before the commission today with a formal protest against this move. While it is hard to de- termine just what form this protest may take, if it is presented at all, there is belief that an interesting and possibly heated discussion may be precipitated.
 Since the announcement by Mana ger Parish of his intention to remove Brisbois he has been visited by scores of citizens who have endeavored to convince him that an error was being made, not only in removing Brisbois but in the selection of his successor To all of these Manager Parish has stated that he was making the change for no other purpose than to effect a betterment in the work of the po- lice department. Just what the ef- feet of protest to the commission against an act of the manager would be is hard to predict. but as the com mission, under the charter, has noth- ing to do with the appointments of the manager, it may he that the con- mission will take no position in the matter.
