INEV. UNCIVILIZED
| SAYS MINISTER

A sharp CLASH between Gov. j. G.
Scrugham and Rev. DR.. Goodwill OF
the Church of the Unity of Springfield
Mass, over the recent execution by
lethal gas at the prison here of Gee
Jon is contained in letters which pass
ed recently between the governor and
the minister.
DR.. Goodwill severely condemns Ne
vada for the execution and declares
the people Of this state belong to the
Middle Ages while Gov. Scrugham re-
plies that the doctors L am holier
than thou attitude is not at all in
keeping with the tenets of his faith.
The Springfield minister wrote as
follows:
"Your revolving execution of a poor
Chinaman has stirred the people of
Massachusetts, as no other incident OF
cruelty has done for long time.
Say! Are you civilized out there
You belong to the Middle Ages.
"The method of cutting of ones
head as they do In China Is much more
humane than that execution. Oh, we'll,
suppose you had to have a subject
and the lone Chinaman had to stand
for 1t.
IL shall trust you have that law re-
pealed at once and let this be your last
execution by such cruel method"
The governors reply was as fol-
lows:
This will acknowledge receipt of
your letter regarding the execution OF
one Gee Jon, a Chinese gunman who
had been duly convicted through regu-
lar process of law.
Ordinarily | pay no attention to
letters of this character, but to correct
your apparent ignorance of the situa-
tion will call your attention to the fol-
lowing facts:
/. The man who was executed was
a professional assassin, who made his
living through murder.
2. The legislatures of this state by
large majorities have expressed the
will of the people that capital punish
ment Is the proper remedy to apply in
cases OF premediated murder.
3. Death by hanging or decapitation
which you appear to favor. is indnite-
ly more barberous than the almost in
stantaneous lethal gas method of pro-
ducing death.
4. While l do not question your sin
certify OF belief, l cannot refrain from
commenting on the fact that your Il
am holier than thou attitude is not at
all in keeping with the tenets Of the
faith you assume to represent Car
son Appeal

CHAS. YOUNG MAKES TRIP
TO BIJOU THIS WEEK

Chas. Young came In over the
Placerville route to his resort at Bijou
this week. The trip was made by auto
mobile as far as the thirty-nine mile
post. known as Fred's place, and from
there walked most OF the way, as skis
were not needed.
Mr.. Young stated that there was
thirty-nine inches of snow on Echo
summit, which is unusally light for
this time of the year. Young brothers
plan to open their resort earlier than
usual this year, and this trip was
made as tour of inspection Chas.
and Wilton Young plan to arrive at
the lake about the 18th of March, and
will come in this way.
Kingsbury summit is reported to
have not over foot of snow on the
level, and as a few drifts are to be
encountered some shoyeling would be
necessary to make the trip with a car
The Kings Canyon road is open to
auto travel to Glenbrook, and is re-
ported to be In a very good condition.
Chains are advised when making the
trip, but are not absolutely neces-
sary.

New Way to Stop
NIGHT Coughing

Those who have suffered the tor
lures Of sleeplessness due to con-
Sinual coughing at night, and who
as result often feel utterly worm
out and useless during the day,
need no longer permit their systems
to be weakened and their vitality
Slapped by this distressing ailment.
For through very simple treat
ment. the trouble can be stopped al
most at once, and people often get
their full nights rest undisturbed
after the very first trial.
Here is the method: Sinlnly get q bot-
tie of the prescription known as DR..
Kings New Discovery from any good
drug store. Then Tonight. before re-
firing take one teaspoonfnl and hold it in
your throat for Is or 20 seconds before
swallowing it. This prescription has a
double action. 1t not only soothes and
heals the soreness and irritation, but it
quickly loosens and removes the phlegm
and congestion which is the real cause
of the cough. So your throat is left
wonderfully sootlled and cleared of irri-
tating gatherings. you can sleep soundly
and restfully, andNthe cough is usually,
gone In a very short time.
DIR. Kings New Discovery is a remark
able remedy for coughs, chest colds,
hoarsoness, sore throat, spasnodic Group,
bronchitis, laryngitis and bronchial asth.

BY E. T. MEREDITH
Publisher and Former Secretary of
Agriculture

A careful charting Of the mn. Ter

States each year from 1856 to 1924
compared with chart showing tie
return to the farmers CT the country
an acre in terms of collars and
cents, proves conclusively that
whenever the farmers have receiv-
ed an average increase cf one dol
lar an acre in any season, business
failures are much fewer during the
following year.
On the other hand, whenever tie
farmers receive as LITTLE as one dol

States, business failures for the EN-
suing twelve months increase.

Farmer Starts Dollar Moving
The readjustment of the fam
er's business is nearly completed. III
four years the total farm income
has increased at the rate of one
and one-half billion dollars each
year, from twelve billion in 1921
TO sixteen billion in 1928, and 70
seventeen and. one-hals billion in
1924.
This increase in spending money
ia distributed in all farm sections,
with. the larger part OF the increase
going to farmers in the, northern
states, extending from Ohio to Ne
braska.
There being Approximately five
hundred million acres of farmeG
land in the United States, this in
creased income for 1924 gives the
farmers an additional three dollars
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1924-11-28

There is no question in my mind
If the new wealth taken from
the soil in a given season gives to
farmers larger purchasing power
than the year previous, it is not
the aggregate amount of these pur-
chases on the farmers part that
makes the volume of business, but
it is the additional series of trades
that so far as fundamental condi-
tons are concerned, business dur
ing the next II months will skew
an increased activity.
Agriculture being fundamental,
when the farmer spends g dollar in
town, he starts a chain Of purchases
in the city which determines the
volume of city business.
VIII Affect All Lines
The farmer has his dollar but
once, but the city man passes it
through five, six or seveG hands. go
ing from the retail purchaser to the
retailer to the wholesaler, whole

turcr to the laborer, and lahorer

when some possessor Of the dollar
spends it for food chat the chain is
broken.
For this reason. TIE total pur-
chasing power Of farmers is a FAC

business and labor; thoy are both to

Says Iowa Safe for G.. o. p.
Senator Cummins declared with
emphasis that Iowa is Republican and
is going to remain SO. He. said 1t
will not need much reminding tina
the administration of the past four
years has brought peace and prosper
ity and has made possible develop
ment of industry, and with this re-
minder and the knowledge of what
candidates it would be difficult to
imagine Iowa going astray.
Senator Cummins said he did not
discuss with the President the bill
authorizing salary increases for many
thousands of federal employees in the
field service, which was passed, but
which failed to become a law because
it did not get to the Speaker and
the President of the Senate in time
for their signatures before the ad-
journment. He said, though, he ap-
proved of the manner in which the
President has gone about meeting the
situation by directing the heads Of
the various departments and inde
pendent establishments to apportion
their appropriations to pay the in
creases in question until Congress
next meets.
Representative Theodore T.. Bur
ton of Ohio, who as temporary chair
man of the Cleveland convention de-
livered the party's keynote speech,
was with the President for half an

hour today talking over the conven-
ton. He said afterward that his
call was of no significance. He said
he felt very grateful at the way his
speech was received and especially y
at the commendation he received
from Mr.. Coolidge.
Mr.. Burton said he would take up
with Gen. Dawes, within the next
few days. the matter of selecting a
date for the committee to call upon
him and officially notify him of his
nomination
1t was said st the White House
today that it has not been determined
just what day General and Mrs.
Dawes, who are to be guests at the
White House for several days, will
arrive. 1t is thought that they will
come to Washington during the mid
die of next week. In that event, 1t
is thought likely that the two can
didates will together listen-in on the
Democratic convention, which Will
then be in full swing.
The President met with his cabinet
today, but ii was said afterward
that nothing of any great moment
was brought up for discussion.

Thomas r. Marshall of Indiana, for
mer Vice President, and Senator AL
bert B. Cummins, president of the
Senate, were among President Cool
idge's few callers at the White House
executive Office today.
MIR. Marshall explained his visit by
saying that every good American cit
i5en should call upon the President
of the United States. 1t is an honor
and a privilege" Mr.. Marshall said,
and it is "a duty / hope never to
neglect whenever l come to Wash
ington."
When asked if he was going to the
Democratic national convention, he
replied, with the typical Marshall hu-
NOR: Envy is the bane of human
kind. When you find out you can
get something yourself. don't worry
about some one else getting it.
Mr.. Marshall said he expects to
spend the greater part of the sum

Cummins said there exists mistak en-
idea that Iowa is doubtful; that La
Toilette. in the event he should run
on a third ticket, could carry it, or
could poll sufficient votes to cause
Coolidge to lose it In his opinion,
La Toilette would draw far more
votes from the Democrats in Iowa
than he would from the Coolidge
ranks. He knows that Coolidge is
popular with the people of the state,
and, although the farmers have not
received the relief they anticipated
they do not blame Coolidge, and,
