JUDGE EYES CHARGE TO
GAND JURY.

Judge Eve, of the Triton circuit
one of the ablest jurists in the
state, a sound thinker along eco.
nomic as well as legal lines, and
one of many other members of the
bench in Georgia who are endowed
with deep spirituality, in a re.
cent charge to the grand jury of
Tiff county dealt so forcibly with
the obligations Of citizenship, and
with the appeal of duty in not only
ones personal observance of law
but in cooperation in its enforce
ment, that it stands out as one of
the ablest addresses ever deliver
ed from the bench in this state.
Perhaps the most striking SEN
tence in the whole is the following,
which has a peculiar and dynamic
force:
The first duty of citizen is to
obey the laws of his country; the
second to see hat others obey
them; the third, to carry the mes
sage of law observance to others"
ANY man who violates the law
himself or permits others to do so
had better beg his country's par
don and ask Gods forgiveness"
This places the duty of one citi-
zen preventing another from viola
ting the law on the same parity
with ones own violation of law

IN AND AROUND THE STATE CAPITOL
BY ASS ocIATED PRESS

ATLANTA, Oct. 25.-The State
Prison Farm, at Milledgeville, ha:
a library to which contributions
have been made by Rockefeller
Carnegie, Woodrow Wilson. anC
many other prominent Americans
according to Secretary Yancey, OF
the prison commission.
The NJ, :, v'hich is said to be
one of the best of its kind in the
south, by young, banker, VIVID
was sentenced to the penitentiary
after being found guilty of EN-.
bezzlement, the secretary said.
sFhe young prisoner was sent to
the farm several years ago. The
penltentiary had a library, but
many new books were need, Cap
tain Yancey related. The prisoner
wrote many letters not only to
prominent persons but to other IL.
dividuals, In most instances, thg
persons responded with books or
contributions. Various org8piza-
tions assisted in improving the IL
brary.
Prisoners do not have as much
time to read and strdv as persons
in the outside worlC. f course, Mr..
Yancey said, but there is number
Of inmates at the Milledgeville
Penitentiary who spend spare time
in the library. A wide range Of
literature is at their disposal.
When the former banker who Sc
cured the additions to the prison
library was released, he came to
Atlanta, where several prominent
men became interested in him, Mr..
Yancey said. He was assisted in
opening a cafe here. He was
forced into bankruptcy and left the
city. Since then officials have
lost trace of him. The secretary
said the prisoner was considered
one Of the most remarkable inmates
ever held at Milledgeville,

MOST PRISONERS MAKE

Most of the prisoners released
from the state farm make good
after being released and fail to get
within the fingers of law again, Mr..
Yancey said, Occasionally, how
ever, prisoner who is considered
of high grade will be released,
either at the conclusion of his term
or on parole, only to again violate

There's just little tedium
In hearing. through a medium,
What speeters have to say;
Their efforts conversational
Are hardly educational,
They frequently display
For all their ghostly mystery,
An. ignorance of history
And other things like that
Which, when they make it audible.
Is very far from laudable,
In fact, it's pretty flat.
These spirits so ethereal
Appear to lack material
For thoughts that stir the mind:
Their talk so lacks in clarity
That We assume, in charity.
They left their brains behind.
When Jesse James and Pharaoh
q repeat the same scenario
About the spirit throng,
When speech of Grant or Bonaparte
Is scarcely to be known apart
There must be something wrong

Convince us, as they maunder on.

ADVANTAGES
OF SMALL MANU-
FEATURING PLANTS.

The Chamber of Commerce has
sent a representative East to see
What can be done to land an indus
trial plant and pay roll now or
some time in the future for Ameri-
Gus.
That's all right. 1t is a step in
the right direction. Nothing will
ever come out way if we sit still
and wish" It takes action, to
get anything or anywhere.
But small pay rolls, small fac.
tories, are of more Importance
than large ones. There are things
being, bought outside of the county
that we could produce inside the
eounty-and keep the money at
home.
Think more about industries of a
small nature. The community that
THINKS INDUSTRY will in a rea-
sonable length of time find itself

The small factory is a plant
that should be induced to grow in
this section" says the Mqultrie OBJ
server;
There is capital enough in
Moultrie to. start one small in
dustry aEweek~ for all time to
come. 1t is'the most rapid way
to build a town. 1t is the best
way to help the farmer, for the
reason that it gives him a pop
ulation to consume the surplus
produee of his farm
1T is the best thing that can
be done for poor people--white
or black-7for the reason that it
gives employment to men and
women.
1t is the best thing for 'mer-
chants for the reason that the
weekly paylolls prove to be the
best tonic that was ever given

Another advantage of having
a varied line Of small manufac-
turing plants is that they.do not

THE USE OF
CALCIUM ARSENATE
SOUND FARMING"

Few intelligent farmers question
the use of calcium arsenate in
fighting the boil weevil, However,
there are a FEW who doubt.
Probably, for one reason or an
other, they failed to make the
crop expected, even though using
calcium.
However, with the vast number
of farmers, it is not a question
whether they will USE 1T, but of
whether they can GET 1T,
Every effor should be made to
insure an adequatc supply for the
1924 crop, and that alta reason
able figure.
At recent meeting of the
Southern Fertilizer association res
olutions We're adopted as an ex-
preston by this body of fertilizer
men concerning the growing of cot
ton under boil weevil conditions
and the use of calcium arsenate,
These resolutions state:
We are profoundly convinced
that the attempt to grow cotton
without the use of commercial
fertilizer and the applications OF
arsenate insecticide to the plant.
particularly in ITS early stages of
development issunsound farming
resulting in economic loss. There.
fore be it
Resolved that we recommend
the use of Calcium Arsenate
properly applied as the most eff
fective insecticide yet developed
to control the cotton boil wevil,
and that we urge our members,
dealers in fertilizers, bankers and
merchants to insist upon its use.
THAT this association pledges
its cooperation in the procure
ment of an ample supply Of poi-
son at Reasonable prices and the
systematic distribution thereof TO
numerous points in the cotton
belt, in advance Of 1924 plant
