Hanging a Woman In Georgia.
From the Savannah Press.

The state is very much stirred UP over the
verdict of guilty rendered in the case OF Mrs:
Vinson in Atlanta She was convicted OF
killing her husband, and, although the pros
eCutng attorney only asked for the life term,
the jury saw fit to bring IN verdict OF
guilty without recommendation to mercy, ana
the woman was sentenced to be hanged on
July 10Th.
Now the movement to remove disabilities
Of woman in Georgia has not reached the
stage where she is believed to be proper
subject for public execution The woman and
the gallOWs do not go well together. AS
Lady Aston says, "She is not built that way"
Anyhow, Georgians have not reached the
point where they view with equanimity the
execution of female. 1t is probable that if
the courts do not intervene the prison board
may give some sort of Communication OF the
sentence.
The talk has gone way back fifty years,
when Susan Eberhart was hanged in Web
Ster county for the killing OF her husband
This was during the administration OF Hon.
James M. Smith, of Columbus, the first gov
ernor of Georgia to be elected by the peo-
pie after the war. Governor Smith was very
much criticised for letting the law take its
course, so a few years later, when Kate
Southern was convicted for stabbing her rival
at country dance, there was a great hue
and cry and Governor Colquitt reversed this
action, pardoning the mountain girl, who had
been overcome with jealousy when a young
woman tried to vamp her husband at a So
cia1 entertainment. The sentence of death
was committed to life imprisonment and the
young woman, Kate Southern, after serving
four years in the penitentiary, was pardoned
Considerable sympathy was expressed for her
at the time. The case of Mrs. Vinson, of
Atlanta, seems to have been a very aggra-
waited one, but. all the same, the prediction is
made that she will not swing for her Of
Tense
This recalls the remark of western edi-
tor, who asked why it was that a woman
who usually failed to hit a barn door with a
hrearm should take such deadly aim when
she finds it necessary to fire at her spouse?

MAY BE DANCER ~ IT.

There are more than $3OOOO00,0O0 of gold
in the federal reserve banks, nearly half of
the money gold in the world. That is incom-
parably more than any nation ever had be-
fore It is twice as much as this country had
four years ago. 1t is a potential basis for
billions OF credit more than is now outstand-
ing Money is easier already as every
body knows L can be borrowed again almost
anywhere on rather reasonable terms for legit-
innate purposes. 1t is getting easy to Dor
row, too, for some illegitimate purposes In
terest rates may go still lower. This is good
for business. 1t is possibly the biggest fac
tor in the revival of business activity now
well under way. The new credit is fresh blood
for industry and trade. There is danger in
it. too. Some financial experts are talking
OF new period OF initiation, with prices ris-
ing again and speculation increasing May
the country be saved from that. Far better
than any boom" would be the completion
of the deAation process-not quite accom-
plished yet in some lines-and then a steady,
sound building up of business all around.
That would last, and would benefit everybody.
Blooms are business fevers, sometimes IA
tai and always followed by depression.

BLANES PUBLIC WASTE.

A principal cause for increased living costs
in the United States is the ''unwieldy system
of marketing and distributing commodities,
including relatively inefficient means and I'M
economic methods coupled with wasteful
practices on the part Iof the public" according
to findings made public by the joint con-
gressiona1 commission on agricultural inquiry.
"We have now reached point where it
costs more to distribute and serve than it
does to produce" Chairman Sidney Ander-
son said in a forecast of the commissions re
port Commodity values lost in mass
of service costs and the time has come for a
consideration of the fundamental problem of
the economic distribution OF the essentials
of living"
Responsibility for betterment rests on the
entire people, who must make such readjust-
ment of custom and habit as will permit the
development Of an economic system of dis
tribution.

President Harding's Tribute
To the Confederate Soldiers
From the Lincolnton Journal.

Whatever may be said against President
Harding politically he is not sectional pres
ident and his kindly attitude toward the south
has been evidenced on more than one occa-
sion since his occupancy OF the white house.
In his desire for national amity and good
feeling he is very much like the lamented
Mckinley, who did so much to heal the
wounds of the sixties and make the country
reunited in fact as we'll as in name.
The other day President Harding, himself
son of union veteran, joined with gray
clad gray-haired veterans OF the COnteder-
acy, who stood with bowed heads at the
graves of the comrades OF the Lost Cause
i'll Arlington cemetery to pay their annual
tribute of love and remembrance to those
who had gone on the last march.
Standing beneath the dropping folds OF
the Stars and Bars, President Harding ut
tered a prayer of gratitude for a reunited ma
ton whose friendship, he said, had been ce-
mented by the blood of Confederate and
Federal alike.
Mr. Harding spoke extemperaneously. He
was not on the program and his appearance
on the rostrum of the open-ar amp1theatre
was a surprise to the crowd which had gath
cred for the ceremony in the Confederate
section of the cemetery.
To the sons and daughters of veterans Mr..
Harding added a word OF tribute. Speak
ing as the son of one who fought IN the
Union cause" he said: 81 want to say that
have only gratitude, commentator and
the sincerest tribute a man can utter for
their sons and daughters who have lived in
the great aftermath and ably assisted in
turning disunion into union, turning discord
into concord and retaining for posterity all
those things so essential to the welfare OF
this republic 1t is my privilege to see the
manifestation of this reconsideration of the
southland. There come to my mind such
names as dear old Joe Wheeler, whom l
saw go to the front to defend his country,
and Fitzhugh Lee who headed the first
troops that entered Savannah in the Span
sh-American war And in that conflict let
me say that we of America were brought
into complete accord"
Tribute to the spirit of the veterans and
sons of the gray in turning defeat into re-
building Of the nation was spoken by the
president, who declared he wished to pay
"the greatest tribute to you of the gray,
and his tribute was one to the man who bore
up as a loser 1t is easier to forgive and for-
get if you are on the triumphant side said
Mr., Harding, but it takes a bigger heart
to forgive and forget if you have gone down
in defeat to the lost cause | would like to
see more of this fellowship and comradeship
which marks a united America

BOBBED HAIR.

lust why there should be so much said
about and against the practice OF girls and
women bobbing their hair has not been ex-
planned, but it probably is due to the general
inclination to oppose and criticize whatever
happens to be a modish hobby. Men folk, the
women insist, do not know how much trouble
it is to comb and brush and curl and cleanse
heavy heads of hair The browning glory
of woman, according to expert advice from
the women themselves, becomes a burden IN
its care, but, when bobbed, it can be easily
and quickly cared for. Thus time is saved
for the beauty sleep in the morning, or to
remove the necessity OF his long wait while
one gets ready etc.
The girls who bob their hair offer argu-
ments in defense of it just because they keep
rendezvous with the shears. That might be
considered necessary when girl faces mem
bers Of her immediate family or her friends
whose good opinion she values; but when the
world is considered she of the bobbed hair
might insist that it is her own business.
Occasionally long haired man is seen and
is put down as eccentric. His eccentrlcity is
the result of the odd spectacle he presents.
A man with his hair in a braid is unusual;
therefore, he is not like other men and may
be considered a crank. He goes his way,
however. without the world saying a lot of
unkind things about him. Not so with the
girl with bobbed hair She is held accountable
for some reasons unexplained Meanwhile
mere man may wear his thatch in any way he
likes, cropped short, or shaved, or shaggy
and unkempt beautifully feathered edged and
slick with pomade, or braided like that OF an
Indian chief 1t would appear that if there
should be uniform method for women as
to the appearance OF their hair no latitude
whatever should be allowed to the men, What
is fair for one is fair for the other.

DISTRICT POLITICS.

Politics Of a somewhat local nature are be-
ginning to stir Under the rotation system,
which has prevailed in this district for many
years, it is Clay county's time to furnish the
state senator, and whoever IS that county
choice will be acceptable to Terrell and will
no doubt be approved by Randolph also. Two
prominent citizens OF Fort Gaines have been
mentioned as prospective candidates.
A Judge for the Pataula circuit is also to be
elected, but there is no probability OF con-
test for that office. Judge Worrill is recog-
nized as one of the ablest jurists in the state
and is universally esteemed throughout the
circuit for his uprightness and clear concep-
ton of the law 1t is a well-known fact that
no superior court judge in the state is re-
versed less by the supreme court.

CURRENT COMMENT.

London Times: There was time when
our fathers did not debate politics or the law
with their women folks; nevertheless they
listened attentively when their women folk
chose to talk of the men and manners OF the
day. They understood that her detachment
from the actual struggle gave woman Po-
sition to which man could not aspire. She
spoke, in sense, for the future; in another
sense her praise or blame amounted to re-
estimation OF character in terms OF values
more enduring than political exigency' It
was this detachment of women which made
small-talk both interesting and considerable.
No man OF any importance could escape its
acid purge; blatancy or bombast withered
quickly under it. The place hunter, the, crafty
fellow, the mere babbler soon found their
level among the DANES whose quick eyes dis
cerned the man under the actors cloak Now
if a woman still, in her heart discerns the
man she does not give him away, Tor she IS
committed to party, a policy, which is his
party, his policy Argument has taken the
place of epigram

Legislating Against Boil WeeviI.
From the Convers Times.

The proposal OF B. w. Hunt, a prominent
farmer OF Putnam county, to restrict acreage
OF cotton in this state by legislative action
would be an abridgement OF the constitutional
privilege OF the people OF Georgia, who have
the unchallenged right to plant their lands
in cotton, corn, jrmson weeds or dog iennel
if they feel so disposed.
The wisdom Of diversified farming is OBJ
viously apparent and every effort should be
exerted to encourage the farmer to raise
grain and truck and grow cattle, hogs and
poultry. But the state OF Georgia has not the
constitutional right to declare that cotton
shall not be planted on every acre III Georgia
if the owners OF the acres so direct
For lie time cotton has been the prn-
cipal money crop in the south. Georgia has
always been the second largest cotton pro-
ducing state. But conditions have changed
and there is no profit in reaping harvest
OF boil weevils.

ALL GUESS WORK.

Professor Awrhemus, winner of a Nobel
prize for eminence for astronomy, advises
people to stop bothering about Mars and take
an interest in Venus. All talk OF Mars being
inhabited, he says, is bosh. There are no
canals there built by intelligent beings. There
are no intelligent beings, because the planet
IS dried up Venus is another story, he says.
That brilliant white planet, according to the
professor has an atmosphere, with plenty OF
rain and climatic conditions not greatly dill
ferent from ours. Therefore it may contain
human beings, or some sort of intelligent
creatures, with whom it is possible to COM
municate. OF course all this is speculative.
No scientist is able to prove whether or not
either Mars or Venus is inhabited, has an
atmosphere or seasonable changes. But this
sort of speculation keeps good many men
drawing fat salaries, and is worked every now
and then for good publicity stunt Alto
gether, it is harmless and rather entertaining.

consider the matter of getting little more
out of coca-cola chero-cola and other drinks
of that kind whose makers are pjling up mil

of these connections have largely taken the
place OF beer manufacturers and should be
made to bear their part of the tax burden
