THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY

(From The Times Recorder. Oct
IT, 1880
A. T. Curry, of Cordel, was in the
citp yesterday getting quotations or
certain grades of. cotton for the fac
tory there. Thedemand cannot be
supplitd by the Cotton harket, just
at this time and the factory must
look elsewhere for the staple.
The social event of the week will
be the german on Friday evenging
at the Americas Club. There will be
a large attendance from local socfe-
ty circles as we'll as from neighbor-
ing cities, and the occasion will be
very enjoyable.
The matrimonial fever confines
to spread in Americas with pleas
ing rapidity. Besides the half dozen
recent marriages, five others are
booked for the next two weeks.
with all returns not it.
Will Hansford, after a stay OF
several weeks with his father ant
brothers in this city, his former
home, returns to Washington thi
morning.
While down shopping yesterda,
Miss Matte Addison was so unfor
tunate as to loose her purse, con
tanning about $50 in bills besides
valuable papers.

No Reason for Fire
Rate Raise

Practically every property
owner in the city has been sub
jected to an arbitrary raise in
his fire insurance rates, said to
be as high as 80 per cent in
many instances. Inspectors rep
resenting the insurance compa-
MES rate bureau re-rated the
city a short time ago and when
the new rate sheets were receiv-
ed by local agents they discov-
cred what is said to be a uni
versal increase.
There is no reason, no excuse,
no justice in this increase.
Americas has had no confla-
grations. Her FIRE loss has been
exceptionally small. Her water
supply was adequate, even dur
ing the driest season of the past
summer, and that is something
that few other cities in the State
can say. The city authorities
declare they acceded to every
demand or suggestion which
would increase the efficiency of
the fire department.
Special agents of the compa-
MES have stated to Americas
citizens that AMERICAS is a
preferred risk; that this city is
looked on by FIRE insurance men
as one Of the safest in the State.
The city has never had 'suspici-
Gus fires, as is the case in 9th
er cities
Taken by and large, Americas
must be paying into the fire in
surance companies alone, a
large profit, for there's been no
losses to cut into the income the
companies receive from the
premiums collected here.
1t would be interesting to
know just how much cash is sent
OUT Of Americas every month
to the insurance companies. 1t
would be interesting to know
what the FIRE loss has been dur
ing a given period and this COM
pared with the amount paid the
companies in premiums. Such
information can be secured.
Some agency or organization
should go into this increase,
which looks now as if it were
absolutely unfair, and not only
demand restoration of the for
meri rate. but reduction>of the
rate that existed prior to the re-
cent kaise.

The Senate and
Unlimited Debate

Vice President Dawes calls at
tention to the fact that unlimited
debate in the Senate does not
make it pass fewer, but more
laws. The Senate, with its small
er membership, passes more of
its bills than the House does of
its. 1t passes three times as
large a proportion of those it in
PRODUCES.
1t can be added that unlinit
ed debate also gives each bill
not more, but less consideration.
Most Of the Senate 8 bills are
passed by unanimous consent,
without debate at all.
One who has watched daily
from the Senate gallery knows
lust how few of the speeches on
the Senate floor are heard by
the Senators. The same is true
in the House. Congressional
speeches, to large extent are
delivered for home consump-
ton. Laws are framed and their
passage or defeat determined
OFF the floor. There are ex-
ceptions, of course, but taken
as a whole. the debates on the
floors of the Senate or the
House change few votes.

Even the most pessimistic re-
ports on prohibition enforcement
the first year of prohibition, and
all concede that the conditions
perhaps the second, were good"
That is, prohibition was fairly well
enforce and it turned out when al
conceded the conditions to be a
good thing for the people.
Is this not an encouraging ex-
ample for the policy of attacking
at the source?
There were just as many thirsty
people the first year of prohibition
as the fifth, and there were just as
many lawless persons willing to
.peddle booze to them. The differ
ence was the supply.
Retail bootlegging could spring
up over night, and did. Wholesale
supplies had to wait on capitalized
organization. Unit there were
wholesalers to supply them, the pet
ty bootleggers were unable to do
much.
And if the wholesale supply can
now be curtailed, the retail boot
Logging will again be negligible.
That is a matter of profits.
Men may buy booze from ap-
petite or smart-Aleckness and may
| peddle it from recklessness, or be-
cause they have no other job, but
men go into the wholesale smuug
Cling or moonshining business only
for profit.
Take that away and you do not
feed to reform them. They quit
Then the small bootlegger with hi
homemade moonshine is soon GU

The critics explain that it is i'm
possible to make the same appeal to
community sentiment in this coun-
try as in others, besause we are so
many sorts of people that whatever
seems automatically right to one
group of US seems as automatically
wrong to other groups.
We are not moved by the scorn
of our neighbors, because many of
them would praise un for the very
things that others condemn.
A homogeneous group, even of
savages, imposes the common win
without law because there is COM
mon will. This force of public senti-
ment most do most of the law-en
forcing, even in the most advanced
communities. In America, where
there are so many public sentiments
this force is weakened.
If this is the case, it means that
it was high time we put a stop to
the wholesale coming of new people
until those already here have had
Time to merge into more homo
geneous people.
/ That happened long ago, in the
countries from which our immi-
grants come. 1t is necessary for
them to wait until it happens here.
And that means until whole gen

The old motives for severity be-
ing discredited, the severity itself
seemed unjustified. But the further
development of impersonal, IN
.vindictive, unmoralizing scientific
study of crime as problem is tend
ing to the opposite conclusion.
Chief of Police Vollmer of Berke-
ley, Calf, widely known as scien-
tific criminologist, in a recent ad-
dress advocated life Imprisonment
for habitual criminals, not as a
punishment" but as the logical
Treatment" of an incurable disease.
Not the magnitude of the crime,
but the hopelessness of reform,
uesignates certain classes of Grimm
al repeaters for permanent segrega-
ton from society.
Our successors may even be able
to diagnose them before they COM
init any serious crime at all. Any
how, the merciful scientist would
lock them up, permanently.

OB-SISTER
SENTIMENTALITY

The first by-product of scientific
criminology was sob-sister senti-
mentality.
If the criminal was in part the
product of forces, physical, mental
and social, and was not simply a
wicked person, whom it was our
duty to hate and punish, the natural
conclusion seemed to be that we
should treat him with more leniency
than had been the custom of the
vindictive past.

step, and to accomplish this the
fight must be started NOW by
destruction of cotton stalks.
A bulletin from the Georgia
Bankers Association addressed
to the Times-Recorder urges that

D NOW" Continuing the
Illetin says:
On October 10th, the National
'ity Bank of Rome held a meet
g of farmers to hear specialists
TX on the value of vetch in in
easing the yields of corn and
ton, and showing them how to
lculate and plant it. Five hun
d farmers from five counties
iStered. Interviews with these
- Farmers showed that in every
county it was thought that the hot
weather and drouth of the sum-
mer had destroyed all the boil
weevils. Since the rain has
come the boil weevils are found
in considerable numbers in prac-
tically every field.
In favorable weather they will
continue to multiply very rapidly
until Christmas, and we will have
a large stock of them to start
with next spring in the cotton
fields. The only way to prevent
this is to IMMEDIATELY DE-
STROY EVERY COTTON stalk.
In a trip through eight coun-
ties in South Georgia last week,
we found similar conditions.
Should we have a wet season in
1926, the destruction of cotton
that occurred in 1928 will be re-
peated.
More often than otherwise,
one extreme of weather follows
another. This past summer
has been the hottest and driest
in half a century. Next summer
may be the wettest. The cotton
crop this year was the earliest;
next years crop may be the
latest. These are possibilities,
but even so, can we as farmers
and merchants afford to take a
needless risk2
Every authority agrees that
the initial step in boil weevil
warfare is the destruction of cot
ton stalks in th- fall immediate
ly after the staple has been
picked, for as the bankers bulle-
tin states, in favorable weather
the weevil. will continue to multi
ply rapidly until Christmas.
To SOM. extent we are pro-
~ducing our 4926 crop this year

weevil propogates.
