COURT SENTENCES.

Considerable talk and newspaper COM
ment has been heard in nelghoorlng
state about the sentence of three years
at hard labor for a negro who robbed
a hen roost of a few chickens. That
is nothing new in our own state. 1t
is a recorded fact back in the '7Os that
a negro was sentenced in Georgia for
three years for stealing three eggs in
somebody's kitchen, and there is for
mer superior court judge still extant In
Georgia who sentenced a negro to twelve
years for robbing a pantry OF pitcher
Of milk about the same era in our
states history. There might have been
some preserves or butter purloined at
the same time, but the indictment was
covered by the drinking of the milk
in a forbidden place. Burglary from
the house" was the indictment.
Right here there is food for thought.
Right here our Lawmakers can stop
and ponder!
1t is also the poor white man who
now gets it in the neck. Petit larceny
is larceny with small compass but the
chap who steals a big lot of stuff is
known to have an easier time than the
low fellow who steals a few dollars or
maybe a few chickens. A rapist who is
rich goes scot free oftentimes, or he
can pay a fine and escape, but the rapist
with off color will be lynched at the
turn Of the big road on short notice.
There are plenty of men in our state
prisons who were sentenced to three
years for manslaughter, and it was
trif1e cheeky in our neighboring state
to permit a sentence of three years
to stand against a chicken thief

The Sabbath Day South's
Most Precious Possession
BY BISHOP WARREN A. GAMBLER.

sion, which most of our people
- do not fully appreciate, but
winch is invaluable. The loss of 1t
would affect injuriously the very high
est interests of our section, and indeed
all interests, both moral and material.
This precious possession is the Sab
bath day, which has prevailed in the
South from Colonial times until the
present. Encroachments have been
made upon the proper observance of the
Sabbath in other sections OF our coun-
try until it has come to pass that Sab
bath observance is almost strictly con-
fined to the South.

religion. A people who have not day

should be used in connection with each
plant. Ordinarily spraying seems to
have but little effect on this disease.
The solution must be applied to the
stem and the soil around the plant to
be of any effect.
You should not grow tomatoes on the
same land year after year. One of the
best methods of controlling this trou-
bic is to rotate crops. Whenever dis
eased plants appear they should be
pulled up very carefully so as to secure
the largest possible amount of root.

A COW may have a cough due to a
cold contracted during a spell of I'M
seasonable weather, but a cough is a
cause for suspicion in the average COW
ard you should investigate the matter
very carefully. Situated as you are,
we would have a veterinarian test the
COW for tuberculosis. OF course, 1t is
best to delay making the test now until
cool weather. but we would not put the
matter Off too long, and in any event
we would keep the COW isolated from
the other cows. The Jumps in the udder
are Cue to improper milking. The best
treatment is to strip the udder out very
thoroughly and completely several times
day. 1t should then be gently rubbed
and kneaded for period of fifteen or
twenty minues at a time three times
a day. Then rub for twenty minutes
with hot water for the same length of
time. After each treatment of the udder
rub dry with a soft rag and then rub
in a camphorated ointment. If you
carry this treatment out persistently
and with care. you should be able to
set rid of the Jumps and bring the udder
into normal condition unless IT has
been neglected so long that a part or
1t has lost its function and cannot,
therefore, be restored to a normal con-
dition.
