LEADERS, EDITOR
BECOMES BENEDICT

Harry Giovanolli and Miss Flor
ence R. Rogers, the daughter of Mr..
Jerre E. Rogers, were married last
Thursday night at the residence of
the brides mother by DR.. Edwin
Muller, of the First Presbyterian
church, Lexington. The guests were
limited to the members Of the i'm
mediate families. Mr.. and Mrs.
Giovanolli left Immediately after
the ceremony for a short trip to
AsheviLe, N. C.
The bride is the youngest of
three charming sisters. She is one
of Lexington's most accomplished
musicians. Mr. Giovanolli is a ma
tive of Danville, later being in the
revenue service at Washington.
Four years ago he went to Lexing-
ton as editor Of the Leader.
He is a splendid gentleman and

the wicked trusts. They are bad
enough, we all know, and there is
no excuse to be made for them.
But many men in more humble po-
sitions are equally avariciods.
Merchants who buy on a rising
market and hoard their purchases
until the price suits them before
turning loose; the farmer who
holds his corn for $1,000 while his
neighbors clahor in vain to buy it
at the market price-both are equal
ly guilty.
We have heretofore asserted that
high prices are an epidemic. They
get started on the upward slant,
and every fellow who has a surplus
at once locks his doors and holds
for killing.
And right now they are making
killing-they are killing their
country.

PRISONERS SHOULD WORK

As an aid to crops and other
lines of production just now, the old
costly custom of keeping prisoners
lying idle in jail should be dispensed
with. Every able bodied prisoner
in the country should be put to
some productive employment. 1t
has long been the contention of
those engaged in prison reform
that we have not the right to con-
fine men and force them to remain
in idleness, this being the cause of
large per cent. of the sickness
and deaths in our jails.
But aside from the question of
the humane treatment of these
prisoners themselves, there is that
of the cost of maintenance. An
idle man eats practically as much
as a worker. And the working man
must feed the idler.
Every prisoner, after conviction,
be his term long or short, should
be required to literally fulfill the
terms of his sentence which from
time immemorial has always read
as such a period of time at "hard
labor"
The county jails, the city work
houses, any and all branches of
the laws punative agencies should
yield up their idle inmates that
they may join in the great army
of producers this year. The small
offenders could largely be placed
upon their own recognizance, while
those restrained for graver offenses
coold be put to work where an
oversight could be kept of them.
A ninety day Jail sentence just
at this time is equivalent to good
work hand. through the crop season
for the farmer who would go secur-
ity and feed and work the offender.
Such offenders are usually our
or almost always they
are people we know and frequently
could trust to faithfully serve out
the sentence given them. In fact,
the majority would prefer to do so.
Empty the jails and put the in
mates to work. Quit asking men to
feed others who are maintained in
idleness. Let the prisoner earn his
keep and something besides for the
good of society.

Why Pay More7

The Smith Form-A- Truck can be
used in connection with a Ford
chassis and the truck complete cost
you but $755, fully guaranteed to do

we know we can save you money

How brave men fell
On Southern soil, meath sunny skies,

Our freshest chaplets we will

And }lay them reverentially
Upon each mound, while sweet

For thee this day Wen ever keep.
AT last again a bugle blast
Will summon them Ia final CALI

And penetrate each marble Hall.

All those who fell;
His roster roll bears each ones
And superscribed, Immortal fame"
Five decades have passed away;
Our flag floats DER the land and
sea,
Its folds encircling blue and gray,
For gray and blue united be.
And gray and blue,
Forever true,
Throughout the centuries to come
Will march in perfect unison.

DEATH TOLL GROWS
FROM Big TORNADO
Fourteen Known Dead, Many
More Believed Killed, and
Hundred Injured.

ATLANTA, Feb. 25.-The exact toll
of the tornado that ripped a death
lane through three States-AIabama,
Mississippi, and Georgia-is still an
unknown quantity today.
Meager dispatches were filtered into
Atlanta, reporting fourteen dead,
many more believed dead, and more
than 100 injured. The property loss
has not been estimated, but it will
reach far into the thousands.
Repair of telephone and telegraph
communication to the districts still
shut on is being rushed, but broken
poles, tangled wires, and fallen trees
are making the task a slow one.
stiH Searching Houses.
Rescue parties are still searching
ruined farm houses, schools, and
buildings.
The most serious loss of life appears
to have been in central Alabama,
where eleven were killed. Two of the
children, trapped in a crumbling
school house before they even realized
the presence of the storm, are ex-
pected to die.
The storm ragged through many
towns, demelishing warehouses. up
roofing trees, swirling pedestrians
from the streets without injuring
anyone and even tore a store from
its foundation. and sent 1t crashing, to
the street without harming any of
the customers inside.

children were swept from their feet
