FINED ONE CENT In
PROHIBITION CASE
SENTENCE IMPOSED BY FED
ERAL JUDGE PRESIDING
IN GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, Ga.-A record fine for
"a prohibition law violator was assess
ed in United States district court here
when Judge Robert H. Erwin, of Mo-
bile, presiding in the absence of Judge
Samuel H. Sibley, sentenced Shed
Rowden, Coweta county negro to
pay a fine of one cent.
The negro did not possess even that
sum of money, and rather than take
him before United States Commits
sioner Carter and have him swear out
la pauper's oath, which automatically
carries with it a sentence of 80 days
Deputy Marshal Jones magnanimous-
lily paid the fine, and the negro went
his way a free man.
The deputy marshal duly deposited
the fine with O. c. Fuller, clerk OF
court, and the sum was dispatched by
Especial messenger to the Atlanta Fed
Iera1 Reserve bank to be deposited to
the credit Of the treasury of the
United States"
When the negro was arraigned
Judge Erwin questioned him about
the offense, and in passing sentence
said he was influenced by the fact
that the negro had served state SEN
tence of II months on the Coweta
county gang for the offense and also
had been confined in Jail 20 days since
his sentence expired pending trial on

IRRIGATION IS EXPECTED TO
REPRODUCE BIB LEGAL
MILK AND HONEY.

The Dead Sea soon will come to
life and the land which in Joshua S
time Flowed with milk and honey" is
to come into its own again, according
Ito Albert Hiorth, outlining scheme
for the irrigation of the plain of Jor-
dan between the lake of Genesaretof
and the Dead Sea to the members of
the Victoria Institute in London says
the New York Times.
Wide areas, he said, were covered
with fertile soil suitable for cultiva-
ton, and irrigation was only needed
in those districts. The irrigation
scheme proposed was to build canals
on both sides of the River Jordan and
parallel with it. Throughout their
length the canals would be furnished
with suitable outlets for the distribu-
ton of water over the plains sloping
toward the River Jordan. AS source
Iof energy there is planned a hydro
electric plant on the western shore of
the Dead Sea, which would receive its
energy from the Mediterranean
through a tunnel under Jerusalem.
The scheme, added the lecturer, was
far from newt was probably some
1000 to 5000 years old-but its reali-
cation had neither been demanded nor
had it been feasible until just now.

THE WHIRL OF OUR AGE.
Have any of us stopped and
thought about what a fast age we are
living in and that we are always in a
hurry?
We are always in a hurry about one
thing or another We never take time
to sit down and really think and plan
the things of our life as we should.
It's always a basket ball or base
ball game; simply must study and
practice a little, may be; oh! the party
tomorrow, and thus we go.
Sometimes don't you think it would
be wise for us to stop and try to sum
up our life? Are we doing anything
worth while? Do we forget to be kind
and give friendly smile along the
way? Are we growing selfish, and
does life really count for anything?
VIII the world be better because we
lived in it? Characters are not made
and established i'll one day. They are
the result of many days, months and
years OF work.
Now in school days we are laying
the foundation for our future life. Is
every rock laid and cemented secure
ly, or is this or that one weak be-
cause in our mad rush we forgot to
be kind or forgot to study? There
are good and bad characters. Which
shall ours be? All strong, brave and
true, we hope. In olden times, about
the time of Washington and Lee, our
country did not seem to be in such
hurry as it is nowadays, and in that
time did they produce more strong
characters-men and women who
were true and did not finch when the
test came, than we are from our hur
ry-hurry world today?
| wonder sometimes if it would not
be better for us to quiet down and
take life easier and more as it comes.
not spend all our time in running
from one pleasure to another, but
have time for some real, genuine,
hard, persistent, consistent work of
all kinds-for home, school, church
and country.
Let us remember to be kind, al
ways give a friendly smile, be unself-
ish and help the "other fellow" Then
let us have more respect for our teach
ers, older persons than ourselves in
the town, and be kind and courteous
to the old people. In other words,
Give to the world the best you have
and the best will come back to you"
