CRIME SHOULD BRING
PUNISHMENT

II seems from press reports that
Georgia is not the only state suffer-
ing from tie mob spirit which
seems rife at this time. However,
that does not excuse us, for The
majesty and dignity Of the law
should lie upheld at oil times
Tie crime which was last week
committed IN this state by two men
who cruelty murdered an old negro,
who was called and forced from q
sick bed to cxtricate their car from
a ditch il which they had driven IN
their drunken condition, was mos
brutal in the extreme, he being shot
through the hack Of the head and
then his throat cut ard his body
thrown into a ditch before their es-
cape.
Why should not this crime cry
out to every true citizen of the state
in an appeal to bring the guilty to
! Justice and to stop the spirit and acts
OF lawlessness that are staining the
records of the state? 1t IS time 10
, call a halt and to adjust some halters.
Crime is crime, regardless OF whether
it is perpetrated by men OF rank
and file under hood and cloak OF
whether it is committed by the low
ly caste who live by their crime, and
the same punishment should be
meted to the criminals, whether il
be individuals or in collective 6od
les.
A good rev ard has been offered
for the arrest of the criminal who
escaped after this dastardIy deed
and it is only to be hoped that il
Twill be the means Of bringing him
to a court composed of men wht
will unAinching'y do their duty in
giving him justice.

HABIT is STRONG.

So says a certain woman who is
seen more often riding than walk
ing. This woman, who drives her
own car and has become accustomed
to holding out one hand as a warn
ing when she starts to turn a corner,
says that when walking down a
street she unconsciously puts out
her hand before starting to cross a
corner.
Driving seems to get hold of lots
Of them.
A young miss who is very fond of
driving and has had some unpleas-
ant experiences with the traffic cops
for ignoring the speed limit, says
that recently she was walking down
the street at a very fast rate Of speed
when she heard some one hurrying
up behind her. Thinking a cop
was behind she began running.

REDLIoUOR DOESNTMEAN RYE

Red liquor is just about extinct,
according to reports Of prohibition
officers, none o. this variety having
been captured recently.
An analysis Of the last splendid.
looking bourbon captured revealed
the fact that il was As per cent
alcohol and IS rer cent colored
water, and while it was selling at
S12 per quart, it cost.only S4.45
per quart to manufacture it.
Thus the yiolators OF the prohibi-
ton law were at least making money
at rapid rate, dry sleuth gay.
The officers state that red liquor
Is no longer conveyed VIA automo-
bile, but that il is shipped under
disguise as various kinds Of mer-
chaudisc, and that the officers are
Handicapped in making raids for it,
az they have to be tipped off.

ODD FORM or RESIGNATION
Acceptance Of official Position Auto
matiealIy Elects Member From
British Parliament.

In the cases Of Arthur Henderson's
and some other notable defeats In the
English parliamentary elections the
comment Of English papers is to the
effect that, as matter OF course,
seat viii be found for the person de-
feGted
This means that some generous and
supposedly important member of the
party who has been elected VIII re-
sign and that his constituency will be
kind enough to elect the defeated man.
The technical process Of such pro-
ceeding is odd and, to an American,
amusing.
The elected member takes 1.-THE
stewardship Of the Chlltern Hun
dreds." That Is, he accepts a commits
sion as a royal official for the district
once known as the Chiltern Hundreds,
and, having done this, he can and
must resign his membership in parlia'
ment, as a member cannot hold a royal
commission of honor and profit.
Thereupon some one is elected in
his place, and he forthwith resigns
his appointment to the Chiltem Hun
dreds, an Office which has no duties,
but nominal salary Of 20 shillings,
which makes it a 'place of honor and
profit" and hence Is inconsistent with
membership in the house, and the Of
fee is open for the next member who
wants to resign.-From the Outlook.

Natural Pipe Line.

In the city of Bath, Maine, while
workmen were busy recently quarry
ing out stone for stone crusher, they
uncovered, at a depth of about 20 feet
from the surface water conduit about
three feet wide and two feet high. This
conduit is in the solid ledge. has been
opened up for distance of 200 feet
and is of uniform diameter the entire
way. The four sides are corrugated
deeply, showing that at some time
water ran through it at great pressure
Many people have visited the interest
ing spot, as very few have ever before
seen one of natures pipe lines ex-
posed.-Scientific American.

TAKING STOCK

The old year has passed unto the
far beyond and nothing can bring
it back but memory. The acts VIC
committed, the deed we did not do,
are marked up either IN our favor
or against us.
The business man, if he is truly
business man, at this season goes
through his stock, re invoices it,
then goes to his ledger and makes a
COMPARISON to learn his own stand
ing in the financial world.
Why not, if this rule applies 50
perfectly in business or commerce,
will it not be as applicable in other
thing? Have you taken stock OF
your social obligations for the past
year, of your moral and religious
status toward yourself and the large?
Do you know just where you stand
before man and God. and how the
debit and credit sides of your life
appear? If not it would be wise to
take stock and balance your books?
1t helps the man in business to cor
rect his mistakes of the past end to
mako better showing ut the end
of the sxt year. 1t will help you,
it will help me, to take account 81
the ways we have trod and to bring
US into more pleasant and correct
path Tor the future.
Let us all take stock

SHE WANTED "CHOIR SINGER"
At Least That Is What Woman Asked
for, but She Was Slightly
Mixed.

While a squad Of police in the
charge of Sergeant Edward Helm was
searching the home Of negro for
"white mule" whisky several days ago,
a knock was heard at the door. When
the door was opened, Sergeant Helm
found a colored woman waiting.
I'm looliin' for a choir singer"
the woman said.
"What do you mean-choir singerY
the sergeant asked. Nobody living
in this house goes to church"
"Oh, you know what want-a choir
singer" the woman exclaimed. "I've
got corn that needs attention i'm
mediately. A choir singer is what
I'm looking for
"You mean a chiropodist, don't
you?" Sergeant Helm asked and the
woman, smiling broadly, nodded her
head.
Sergeant Helm pointed the way and
the woman left in search of relief
for her corn.-Indianapolis News.

Study of Dreams,

Much valuable information as to the
mental makeup of a child could be OBJ
tanned from study of his dreams, DR..
G. w. Kimmins, an English savant,
recently declared during a discussion
on psycho-analysis and education at a
meeting of the British association at
Hull. 1t would be interesting, he sug-
gested, to hear from psychologists to
what extent children's dreams could
be used for school purposes. Doctor
Kimmins emphasized the danger of
extravagant hopes in regard to the
use Of psycho-analysis for educational
purposes, which might lead to an in
finite amount of harm.

"RooseveIt's ReIiqion."

President Roosevelt writes Ethel an
interesting account of "rescue."
Sloan, the secret service man, and
he were en- route to church when he
saw two dogs chasing a kitten. He
drove the dogs off with his cane while
Sloan captured the kitty" Then the
President inquired from the smiling
spectators if the cat belonged to them,
but not finding an owner, he went
down the block with the kitten in his
arms until he saw "a very nice col
ored woman with little girl looking
out the window of a small house" and
gave her the kitten. Then, straight
ening his clothes and brushing his
silk hat, he went on to church in a
better frame to worship. From

RESPECT OF LAW is THE NEED

A greater respect for tie law j.
in urgent need in Georgia and the
rest of the South, according to
court authorities, both in the State
and federal courts.
Extraordinary efforts were made
in many parts of this state, and
especially in the larger towns and
cities, to curb the sale OF YuIetide
liquors and do away with the many
drinking parties that annually de,
bauch the holiday season, but Cfi-
cial reports received since the new
year opened indicate that the Pro
hibition law was violated iii in"
Vulnerable ways and in innumer-
able places.
In their eagerness TO establish
what they are pleased to call their
right to drink, many people, ac-
cording to court authorities OF the
state, have cultivated a contempt
for the Prohibition law which, it is
asserted, is evidently leading to a
contempt for all law.
The opinion is expressed by court
officials that contempt of the law
has encouraged a great army of
bootleggers to spring up in Georgia,
as well as in other states, and they
are reaping a harvest by the refusal
OF Of citizenship to respect the pre-
hihition law.
Unless laws are enforced they are
worthless, declared Hon. John A.
Boykin, who is the solicitor general
of the Atlanta judicial Circuit and
recognized as a prosecutor of extra
ordinary, ability and terror to
evil doels.
Unless men and women have
respect for the law and not only try.
TO obey it themselves but try also
to help make Others obey it, law
cannot be enforced" continued
Solicitor General BoyLin. Back
of every law must be public senti-
ment and desire to be law abiding.
Unfortunately a portion ofthe pubs
lie appears to have developed a
sentiment against law enforcement
as it applies to the illegal sale of
liquor, and to have lost their desire
to be law abiding in regard to Pro-
hibition. The tendency is danger
>us. 1t is a trend that is leading
% a general ignoring Ola law that
5 part of the Constitution of the
nation and which should beas strict
v observed as any law on the stat.

What's the matter with the chick
EN- ana egg industry of this section?
But little food and care are required
to keep a good flock Of chickens,
yet eggs have been selling as high
in local markets as IS ceats per
dozen, and scarce at that.
Just remember that the eggs crop
in America brings in more money
than the cotton crop, which should
be impressive OF the fact that it is
the little things that count as wei!
and as surely as do the larger pro
iects.

This sinoer is a Whole Quartet.

This Singer Is a Whole Quartet.
London throat specialists are great
ly interested in a man singer who is
said to have a most unusual voice.
The young mans name is Strathie
Mackay, and he is employed as a
cleaner at a bank in Threadneedle
street. While Sir James Dundas Grant
listened he sang in tenor voice, a
barytone, a falsetto and at last in a
double voice, barytone and tenor SIM
ultaneously.
Although the two voices could be
heard distinctly, the tenor voice pre-
dominated, and Sir James remarked
that if Mr.. Mackay could harmonic
with the two and render the barytone
with the same clarity and volume as
the tenor the result would be star
Ting.
The examination of Mr.. Mackay's
larynx showed that it was. quite nor.
NAL, and he said it did not strain
him to use both voices at once.
