THIS SHOULD MAKE
APPEALS LESS POPULAR.

The recent decision of the Georgia
Supreme Court affirming the verdict
of jury in Colquitt Superior Court,
when William Radney and John T.
McCracken were convicted of muir
der in the killing of Henry 7. Jones,
of that county in June, 1917, is
enough to put damper on appeals
for new trials, but it is not probable
that it will These men were men,
bers of a posse hunting negro and
shot and killed their neighbor, Henry
7. Jones, by mistake. They were
convicted Of voluntary manslaughter
and given sentences of ten years each.
Their attorneys appealed the case,
claiming that the presiding judge
should not have charged the jury on
voluntary manslaughter, and that the
men were either guilty of murder or
innocent. They got new trial, but
at the second trial, in October, 1919,
greatly to their surprise, the jury
returned verdict of murder, with
recommendation for mercy, and the
men were sentenced to life imprison-
ment. The second appeal to the
higher court failed.
There was a parallel to this case
n Decatur county few years ago,
where a man was convicted and given
l twenty-year sentence. His attor-
lext time he was convicted Of muir
neys appealed, got new trial, and
Ter. Despite all that could be done
IN his behalf, he was hung.
Usually, attorneys consider that
shey have not done their full duty by
their clients until the case has been
carried through the courts of last
resort, but if we have very many
eases like those from Decatur and
C6lquitt, clients may decide after
awhile to let we'll enough alone and
stop with the first verdict. Such a
decision would save the courts a
great deal of work.-Tifton Gazette.

Dark Hours Before Daylight.

1t has been often said that the darkest hour is
just before day. and many of us remember how
the truth of this demonstrated during the war.
When the German armies were pressing hardest OIL
the western front and the English stood with then
faces toward the foe and their backs up against the
waters Of the English channel while the drive on
Paris was making greater gains each hour, and our
little handful of boys cover there were in danger
of being wholly exterminated
Here in America, one gloomy Sunday it seemed
that everything was loSt-not church or home but
sent up prayer for rescue from the cruel German
hordes which seemed to have overwhelmed every
obstacle
AT that hour further success to the German arms
would have practically ensaved the world but the
tide turned, and every day it rolled back the other
way until the world was bright and we could see our
boys coming home.
Opportunity knocks once at every mans door and
it is jist true that through adversely that oppor
tunity often comes
The farmers of the west are facing apparent dis
aster in the low price Of wheat, the stock men are
losing the decline in meats, and the farmers of
the south look upon the present cotton market as
national disaster.
Business men losing by reason of stagnation
and general loss of confidence throughout the world
but America is far from bankruptcy or any actual
suffering Every other nation is staggering under
heavier load than we, and many lack the barest
necessities of life which we yet have in abundance
What the world needs is a restoration of conid-
ence of man of his fellow MANN the ultimate sup
remacy of right wrong a belief in the Justice
mercy and goodness, of Supreme Being.
Surely America will lead the way for we have at
this hour opportunity knocking at our door Co
operation, belief in God, yourself and your fellow
man. will restore order and prosperity to our country
and to the whole world Now is the time!

tramping. We had wonderfully
good time and l was utterly wretch
ed when Martha went back to her
profession.
Mother Lorin.er advised her not
to, but most OF her younger Friends
are extremely interested in her plans.
Can a husband and wife share diff
ferent interests in the business
world without disturbing the equili-
brium of their home? That is doubt
less the biggest mating problem of
this or any other age, and we girls
all wanted to see how Martha and
Ewart would solve it.
Martha's son arrived to further
complicate her married life. Three
professions, maternity, the law and
home-making made a combination
which left Martha no time for see
ing her friends. We Lorimers had
not seen her for many moons.
To me Martha has always seem
ed the spirit of work and happiness
and so | was thrilled with gladness
when she came into my room unan-
nounced, and put her fingers over
my eyes and whispered:
Guess right the first time or I'll
go awayw
I jumped and Rugged her hard.
Bob had come out of the stupor six
hours before. He was delirious and
he did not know me- To bolster UP
my patience and courage, sat at
my desk in the room next to his,
and very mechanically arranged the
sheets of my confessions.
Writing a novel. Jane?" asked
Martha.

Martha laughed lightly, then sud
den tears came into her eyes. | saw

her palms and held tight by her pref

THE BOOK OF MARTHA.
Introducing Martha Palmer-A Por.
tia With Hair Spun of Gold.

Martha Palmer's beauty struck me
as marvellous every time | saw her.
Never hid | thought her more ex-
quisite than the morning when she
came to ask about Mother Lorimer
and Bob. Her blond loveliness is so
delicate and her manner so feminine
that it IS only after that | ever re-
memberer that she is about the clev-
crest young woman in our town.
In that connection | recall Daddy
Lorimer's joking prediction that a
Portia with hair of spun gold ought
to win all her cases.
"Martha's blondness makes her in
tellect all the more astounding,
commented Bob months ago, to
which | replied, naturally and spite
fully, remembering Katherine's yell
low hair:
Friend husband, you ought to be
we'll posted on the relation of brains
to tresses!'
Bob has always been very fond OF
Martha in spite of the fact that she
is always a lawyer with more eli
ents than she. can easily look after.
Few of our men friends really care
to talk to highly educated girl, |
think, but Martha Palmer is hailed
as a unique specimen of her sex and
treated like a princess whenever she
appears at a social affair.
She derides only the men who flat
ter her. | know that when she talks
to Bob she will get the exact status
of the chemical trade, and Bob will
feel awfully flattered by her inter
est in his business,-but not because
she is a lawyer!
Martha has the sense never to
seem more clever than the man she
is talking to-" Chrys, the cynic, has
said; while Mistress Ann Lorimer,
who seems positively to revere Mar
tina as a goddess, once remarked:
Martha Palmer reads all the new
books but she never bores you by
talking about them"
Personally, | have always wonder
ed what Martha and Ann do find to
talk about when they happen to be
alone together
Martha used to consider her hus-
band and mind the supreme examples
of chivalrv. She and Ewart, Bob
and l, used to go on joyous innocent
"bats' together usually outdoor af

Renew Your Typhoid Immunity
Before Summer, Urges DR.. Bond
BY DIR. B. F. BOND
Commissioner of Health For Sumter County.
THE incident occurring at Salem,

THE incident occurring at Salem,
Ohio, where nearly 10 per cent
Of its population were infected with
typhoid fever, should be considered
very seriously, especially at this time,
when times are abnormal and the
dollar buys so little and the price
of cotton so cheap, for what happen
ed at Salem may occur in any
city. 1t has happened in other cit
les where the water supply has been
polluted.
Open privies and flies are actual
menaces to our health OF course,
it costs something to properly dispose
of human excreta, but nothing COM
pared to the cost of the care and
treatment of a case of typhoid fever
not counting the loss occasioned
by suffering, anxiety and death that
can not be enumerated by dollars
and cents.
The cities are furnishing as pure
water as competent engineers can
produce. Many farm homes have
sanitary appliances yet we do not
feel secure when we read of the ex-
periences of other communities. It
is not absolutely safe to know that
your water supply is pure for the
bacteria causing typhoid fever may
be carried to your plate or a glass
Of milk from an infected open privy
or from the discharges of a patient
suffering with typhoid fever, by a
fly How then may we feel secure?
Science and experience have demon
strated the fact that immunity is the
safest method and it may be easily
acquired, without cost, through and
by vaccination against typhoid fever,
and even that is not always effec-
tive, yet the results obtained through
vaccination have been so universally
beneficial that it is almost self-evi-
dent that negligence is the cause of
typhoid fever.
Since | have been in Sumter coun-
ty | have administered several thous-
and doses of typhoid vaccine. Seven
hundred and ninety-eight septic tanks
and fly proof privies have been in
stalled and our mortality rate, for
typhoid fever has been reduced from
,063 per cent to OPS per cent dur
ing the past twelve months-or in
other words twenty-one cases of ty-
phoid fever were reported last year
and only nine cases have been re-
ported this year, our population is
approximately $4,000 While it is a
pleasure to show that reduction, yet
when we know those cases never re-
ceived the protection offered through
sanitation and vaccination we feel
that it is our duty to be more per-
sistent in the discharge of our duty
for there never was a time when
economy was more essential and it
Is much cheaper to prevent than to
