NO NEED FOR A POOR PARDON.

Governor dorsey has shown com
mendable firmness in refusing to
grant a pardon in the case of Mrs.
Edna Perkins Godbee, who Is serving
a life sentence at the state farm for
the murder of her husband and his
second wife.
Mrs. Godbee shot and killed her
former husband and his young wife
upon meeting them in the postofice at
Millen, taking their lives without any
provocation or justification. She was
tried and convicted, and was given a
life sentence. The case is familiar
one to the public.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
tremendous appeal has been made to
the governor, just as it was made to
Governor Harris, no genuine reason
has been shown as yet why the lady
should be restored to her liberty. No
evidence has been shown that the
majesty of the law has been vindicat
ed, that memorable law which if jus
tice is done commands an eye for an
eye.
There have been too many instances
in Georgia's history of maudlin senti
ment operating to defeat the workings
of justice, which ofhen, for that matter,
in other states besides ours, drags a
halting foot when a woman is concern
ed However, Mrs. Godbee committed
a terrible crime, and when she put
herself in the criminal class she made
herself liable to the treatment of a
criminal. The fact that she is wo
man is no excuse for giving her a
pardon, to which she would not be en-
titled on any other ground.
It does not make any difference that
hundreds and thousands Of citizens,
many of them quite prominent, have
signed a petition endorsing Mrs.
Goddess application for clemency. Pc
titions are easily procured and it is
just as easy to have one signed for the
hanging of person as 1t IS to get one
for the pardon of another person.
Governor Dorsey has conserved jus
tice in refusing to pardon The Jenkins
county lady.

THE NEW FOOD ORDER.

Again the pinch of war is felt in the
order limiting the amount of beef
for use in public eating places.
1t is to be hoped, of course,
that the best results may follow, that
tie same schedule will be adopted in
the private homes. Indeed, it will be
distinctly unpatriotic to do other than
follow the program laid down by the
food administration. The beef eating
schedule for the future is as follows:
Boiled beef may be served and
includede on the menu for the midday
meal of Monday and Thursday only.
Roast beef may be served and in
cluded on the menu for the midday
meal of Sunday only.
Beefsteak may be served and in
cluded on the menu for the evening
meal of Saturday only
Flour is now limited to six pounds
per person for month, and then it is
a mixture, containing only seventy
per cent wheat. Sugar is limited to a
purchase of two pounds at time and
is supposed to be restricted to three
pounds month per person. On no
other commodity, however. is there
any limitation.
When we remember that in the
countries of our allies there are even
more stringent regulations, and a
still greater scarcity of these and
other important foodstuffs, we should
be more than content with our lot In
curtailing our supply we are not Civ
ing the larger part to the Allies, but
ale merely sharing it with them.
1t is naturally to be expected that
during a war as stupendous as this,
which penetrates into every phase of
life, there must be economies practiced
and luxuries abandoned, and whenever
the people are thus called upon it is
their patriotic duty to cheerfully and
whole heartedly comply.

THE PREVAILING SENTIMENT.

The other day at table in a hotel
in a South Carolina town, a man
asked
"4ow is Senior Hardwick running
in Georgian"
The query was addressed to a pa
triotIc Georgian, man who is the
repI sentative of machinery manu-
featuring house, and this man immed
ately replied;
Why. in Georgia now no citizen
who is loyal mentions the name of
Senator Hardwick. He is not discuss
ed in polite circles"
In Jacksonville this week, another
Georgian was asked by Floridltn, who
was interested in our political situa

going to get big vOte?"

ENDING THE ASTOR TRUST.

Either from curiosity or for other
reasons, the average man or woman is
possessed of an innate desire to be
familiar with the affairs Of the rich.

The next meeting of the state tax

particularly in making 1t pleasant for
the troops who are continually pass

day, and they at once don their Red
Cross garb and rush to the station,
where they pass out soft drinks, Gig
arettes, ice cream and other
delectables for the soldiers aud take
their postcards, stamp them and mail
them. The business men donate stuff
to the ladies' which they sell at ball
games and elsewhere, using the pro-

tending to the comfort of the soldiers.

The Germans have had one advan-

on their supplies while the French
have been obliged to bring theirs up
over a difficult country. So far GEN
eral Humbert's troops have had four
days OF constant fighting, fully half of
which has been spent in gas infested

was the machine gun against the rifle,
the Germans having comparatively

being plentifully supplied with ma

5oLSHEvlKI STAND
NOT UNDERSTOOD HERE

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE stand
Of the Bolsheviki in declaring a state
of war with Great Britain and France
and not with the United States be-
cause of the landing Of troops on the
Thurman coast, although this country
has acted in unison with the allies
is not understood here. 1t is believ-
ed that since his last report to the
department American Consul General
Poole has found his situation at Mos
COW ~untenable and has turned over
the affairs of the United States to
some neutral country. On the other
hand it is suggested that in view Of
the flight of Lenine and Trotzky to
Kronstadt, the Bolsheviki in Moscow
may have been overthrow. In that
case Mr.. Poole probably would re-
main in Moscow. ,
