TEN THOUSAND MURDERS.

According to the Spectator a New York
insurance journal, 10000 persons die annual
" in the United States as the victims of
murderers The statistics on which this was
based show that nine persons out of ev-
cry 100000 in % principal cities die because
of the violence of others. The estimate does
not list cases of manslaughter, such as
deaths resulting from carelessness as in driv-
ing motor car in a reckless manner.
The Spectator recommends drastic federal
legislation as a means to check the high
murder rate in this country. 1t would have
the government control the sale and posses
sion of fire arms having found that great
majority of the murders are committed by
shooting. Various states already have sought
to check the widespread use of fire arms and
others are indicating that they may resort
to legislation of similar character Powerful
interests. however, have fought the move
ment to curb the manufacture and sale OF
the revolver favorite weapon OF the pro-
fessiona1 gunman, the most dangerous po-
tential murderer in existence. 1t has been
represented that enormous amounts OF mon
ey have been invested in the fire arms man
ufacturing business and that many thousands
of persons are dependent upon that kind OF
employment Notwithstanding this, til e
movement to ban such fire arms is becom-
ing stronger
New York and Chicago have many muir
ders, but that is because of their enormous
populations. The highest murder rate, &C
cording to the Spectator, is in Memphis
Tenn, where GA persons out OF every lOO,-
600 are slain every year. The second highest
rate is in Nashville, the capital OF Tennessee
and New Orleans is third St. Louis is fourth
All of which shows that the south leads III

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Mrs. Alice Foot MacDougal is wrong
when she estimates that within century or
so women will have replaced men altogether
in business The noted New York feminist
based her calculations on the trend indicat-
ed by census statistics. An intensive research,
She contends, shows that since 1880 the per-
centage of women engaged in business has
increased from 147 to 81 while the percent
age of men gainfuly occupied has decreased
+iye-tenth Of course Mrs. MacDougall has
figured that the ratio of increase and de-
crease is bound to continue until women
have absorbed all the business in the coun-
try. She would be right in her assumption,
perhaps, since it is nothing more or less than
mathematical, proposition, If she could
count on a continuance of the proportion OF
change but she cannot safely do that
Women are very welcome in business. Any
number of women make good executives
Thousands of them are excellent employees
Woman has ability in certain directions equal
~ that of man. In some others her ability is
superior. but there is one thing as certain as
that the sun will shine again and that is
this: the men simply will insist on staying
in business. 1t might happen at some distant
time that men would take second place, but
they would demand that they be given the
privilege of helping the work along anyway
Mrs. MacDougall's suggestion that when that
time comes the men might as well fit them
selves to do the homework is facetious, and
cannot be taken seriously any more than can
her highly imaginative prophecy.

Welkin Ringers Banned.
From the Buffalo News.

The number of the oratorical boys, those
who are wont to make the wellin ring with
rotund periods on the glories and woes OF
the world, is steadily decreasing. Modern
life is too sober, too impatient, too eager for
facts, to give encouragement for new en-
listments The day of the boys of the grand
manner is gone.
But their day was a long one. Time was
when from the rockbound coast of Maine to
the sunny shores of California the worthless
of the hustings held full sway all the year
round, great national sport. Now who Of all
the gallant company is left? Anyone besides
William Jennings Bryan?
Consider the men prominent in public af-
fairs today. President Harding has some
what of the grand manner, but none OF the
perfervid nonsense Of the old school. Hoo
ver's addresses are about as oratorcal as the
multiplication tables. Hughes chips his sen
fences out OF whole granite
Even in the schools, the last stronghold
of the we1lin ringers, the attack has begun.
The Baltimore superintendent OF schools for
example has decreed that no orators need
apply for a hearing at the commencement
exercises over which he has charge This
abbreviation, we hope" he says, will re-
eve the program OF any monotony."

The Eternal Crouch.
From the Houston Chronicle.

There is nothing more disgusting than the
person who has an eternal crouch or a
grudge against the world The chronic whin-
er is a good one to avoid.
You may have just cause for complaint,
but if you can think of nothing else you are
doing yourself great injustice
Do not complain unless your complaint
may gain you something.
If things are not right and an effort on
your part might do some good pitch in and
turn things over and get them Strengthened
out, if you can.
But do not be eternally talking about it,
for by so doing you miss lot Of interesting
things, and you may lose lot OF delightful
friends.
No matter how much they may sympa-
thize even your friends get tired of hearing
all about this and that which is not as it
should be.
This is not the way to get bad matters
Strengthened cut, either.
There is a time for everything to be most
effective
Stack your evidence pigeonhoe your in
formation for and against and have it ready
for emergency.
Meantime live, love and be happy with
your family and friends,

Our Lawmakers Eat Up Money.

A Tribute to Trees.
From the Macon News.

One of the most remarkable celebrations
ever held in Georgia IS taking place To-Day al
Cuthbert where leaders in horticulture. IN
forestry in marketing and IN CIVIC aHairs
generally have gathered beneath FAMOUS
pecan tree to impress upon the genera puDhc
the importance of trees to mankind.
The pecan tree in question has spread OF
1870 feet 1t is almost a hundred years old
and,it has been known to bear 1000 pounds
Of nuts in a season. AT 40 cents pound
which is an exceedingly conservative ssh tl1
rnateA the revenue from this tree alone IS S4OO
year The shade OF this veteran tree is a
fitting place for the exercises that are intend
ed to emphasize the value OF trees IN general
and the pecan tree in particular
Within few miles of Albany 10000 acres
have been planted in pecan trees Flfteen
thousand acres of this land is now covered
with 100000 pecan trees of bearing age, and
the annual revenue from the orchards is estl-
mated at S2000000 1t is one OF the i'm
pressive evidences of the wonderful resources
of the south, for it is only in this section OF
the country that the pecan can be grown,
and there is not the slightest possibility that
there will ever be anything like overproduc-
ton With higher food value than steak or
eggs the pecan is just coming into its own.
But if the exercises held in the shadow OF
this venerable tree have special application to
the pecan industry they carry, as they are
intended an impressive lesson on the value
of trees in general The Georgia Forestry
Association is about to hold its annual meet
ing, and some of its representatives are TAX
ing part in the ceremonies at Cuthbert. The
president of the American Forestry Associa-
ton is in attendance upon the exercises I'M
der ''the big tree" Mr.. J. Horace Mcfarland,
secretary and treasurer of the American Rose
Society and president of the. American Civic
Association, is also there to discuss Some
Famous Trees and Their Value.
: All this will serve to bring home to us
how necessary it is that we should conserve
our forests and plant another tree" We
have about reached the limit OF destruction,
and yet the demand for lumber is being
steadily maintained and the poor crops on
the farms have tempted thousands of land
owners to sell off the timber as the only
money crop" in sight
These exercises are timely, and it is graft
flying to find so many distinguished men
within the borders of the state.

In a recent issue of the 11tton Gazette
Editor Herring says on matter that has
been the subject of considerable discussion:
Doubtless many counties will turn
their convicts back to the state or let
some other county have them ii some
method of punishment to replace the
strap is not provided. The county COM
missioners OF Tiff and Warden Nelson
reported to the grand jury last week that
they had great difficulty in maintaining
discipline and getting even moderate
amount of work since conViCtS no long
er fear puniShment-and corporal pun
ishment is about all the negro breads.
Crisp county commissioners memorabilia
their senator and representative to have
the strap restored reporting the same
trouble. Colquitt county's warden re-
ports the same difficulty, but that coun-.
ty has taken over the Atkinson con
victs and is negotiating for those from
Echols While small numbers is the
reason given for this change, no doubt
difficulty in enforcing discipline was
contributing factor to the surrender OF
the convcts 1t is understood that the
prohibition of the strap Is COnSt1tu-
tional provision, and, if this be the case,
a constitutional amendment would 'be
necessary for its restoration, and 1t would
be difficult to secure this. But Subst1-
tute should be found
The idea that the prOnlDlllOn Oh inc strap
is a constitutional provision is erroneous.
There is absolutely nothing in the constitu-
ton on the subject. The attorney general OF
the state, when asked for an opinion by the
then governor, did not so hold. On the con-
trary he plainly said there was no law against
the use of the strap for enforcing discipline,
but added that it was against the spirit OF
the constitution. Many OF the ablest lawyers
in the state have said that the strap, as used
III Georgia, was nothing more than meas
ure to enforce discipline and was in no wise
d part OF the punishment imposed for crime.
So much just to keep the record straight.
AS to the strap, the use of that instrument
as means of enforcing discipline is gone
never to return. Those who believe TO the
contrary have a vain hope. Some other
method must be found for maintaining or
der in convict camps and getting reason
able amount of work

Take Judiciary Out OF Politics.
From the Cordele Dispatch.

A bill to be introduced in the legislature
this session provides for the appointment of
judges. Maj. B. F. Fowler, of Bib county,
will introduce the bill, which news dispatches
state proposes a change in the present meth
cd OF selecting judges. The new bill will pro-
vide for the appointment OF a judge instead
of his election by popular vote. His bill will
provide for the nomination of judges by the
supreme court, their appointment by the gov
ernor and the confirmation by the senate.
Remove the judiciary from politics by all
means. The spectacle of judge being COM
PEELED to solicit votes every few years does
not appeal to us as seemly or desirable.
The judiciary should be as free from the
communicating forces of politics as possible.
A judge should not be placed in the position
of having to render POPULAR verdicts.
Maj. Fowler's bill may not be the wisest
method to persue to bring about this end, but
it is a start in the right direction.
Georgia should take her judiciary out of
politics This is the one place where in our
opinion, the people will best be served by not
having the elective power.

You Can't Kick and Pull.
From the Meter Advertiser.

When a mule kicks he can't pull.
The same is true OF a man.
When a man kicks he isn't doing much
pulling
As soon as some mule starts kicking over
the traces or rearn up about something that
don't exactly suit him wallop him over the
ears with club a couple OF times, If he
doesn't straighten up and start pulling again
unlock his trace chains and turn him out Of
the team. It's the only way to get along.
A kicker not only doesn't do any work
himself but instead upsets the whole organi-
cation He holds back all of his teammates
and plays havoc generally.

people want rather than such as the consti-

said to advocate the use of the military in
enforcement of the prohibition law. Mr. Ford
