The World Not So Bad


 After reading of murders, rob- berries and the many outrages that are being committed daily, one Is inclined to feel that the condition of the world is discouraging to say the least. Then we read of some fine act that cannot but give us the feeling that the spirit of good is not lost in man. A few days ago a little child in a Mis- sissippi town was badly burned from head to foot. Over one hun dred people of the town volun- teered to give portion of their skin to be, grafted on the child that it's life might be saved. There is something fine about the spirit that will dictate that kind of sacrifice. The world is not so bad, after all.

Placing the Responsibility
(Florence Herald)

(Florence Herald)
 Among the suggestions recently put forward by defenders of the convict lease system is that which would put 1t up to the opponents of the system to devise some other method of handling the states criminals. The suggestion im- plies that our regularly consti- tuted legislators are of such small caliber that they are incapable of handling the proposition. We do not believe this to be the case. We believe there are brains enough among our solons to do the job. It is the will that Is lacking, or has been lacking so far. But, if the legislators and governor are really helpless. we may refer them to the methods employed in 47 other states of the Union., Out of all these they ought to be able to select . work able plan, even though they have not the capacity to originate one of their own

A Bit of Advice

Huntsville Times)
 Cooperate with the department of health in eXterminating mos quitoes. Do away with the old tin cans. barrels and other con- tainers where stagnant water may accumulate. And of course keep on swatting the flies-better still, screen your premises and make 1t impossible for flies to get in. Also see to 1t that your place is kept as near spotless as possible and you won't be bothered so much with the fly pest.

 When I am dead-place me, charge
 you,
 Upon a pyre of sandalwood. Cremate me-and leave no ashes tt
 urn enshrined. Bare not with ceremony, And spare me, pray you, the hypoc
 risy of eulogy. Who are they To tuck me, neatly, into a muddy ex

 Murmur thoughtless prayers And leave me there-forever branded By some sentimental Epitaph?
 I would rather my name was cursed Sincerely
 Than defended In pseudo-friendship. But let them not discuss me. Leave nothing to suggest-my end. Plant not the cypress or willow. Erect no headstone To be worn by idle tears Or wreathed in flowers which I can
 not smell.
 No! I wish to disappear Completely;
 Leave no token to morbid senti
 mentalists
 For sad-sweet contemplation. But rather, bear my very ashes To some high, wind-swept place And loose them upon jaunty breeze That l may go thousand arrows, Swiftly
