In Mont 0t Uie publications aloug this 1 1 lit* an' views whieh harmonize With yours. They invariably si t uikmi the Juris* with great vigor, aw mainly re* -.ponsible f(.r ihih unhealthy stale of affair*. ami the Juries deserve their share of the blame. I take isaue with you in their being the chief offen ders. I make the charge that our law yors and Judges nro more respond hie, than all other influence*, jfor tho shameful miscarriages of justice which disgrace our criminal annuls. Nobody blames an attorney for fighting to the l,i Hi ditch for the man in the dock, whoso money he in earning, hut thoy should not he allows the advantage I thoy enjoy in prosecuting their work. The machinery of our criminal courts Is a nililrock around the upek of thoso who would -mppress < -rlnio hv ftdequato punishment. Our judges aro entirely t.?o lenhuit. Upon the flimsiest pre* j texts of the attorneys they continue .eases until the heat of the public wn ' tlment abates. A man shoots down IiIh neighbor, Before his gun-bnrrel cools hi lit# cell Is warmed. his attorney hot foots to the nearest judge for .boil, and gets it In well night every iiiHtance. If I a jury finds him guilty there Is usually some technicality ? upon which the su ' premc court will order a new trial. This red tape K elastic and is generally spread out over long months until peo ple trrow Indifferent and the guilty, w illi a long pocket book goes free. Now who Is t < ? blame? the juries or the ' 1 1 1' ' e ' ** upsV .Tiet a word, in this con* eeetioii. on the "blind titter" slt.uatlon. lie ci-neraTly represents tin* lowest type of morals in a decent community, lie Is not only a low vlolater, but do* banchos his neigl her. Tn his nefarious I r ? ffie he d??e.s not he.sltate to burn ont those who object , or shoot to. kill. In ji cowardly- manner, from ambush, fn N-pite of this :i fine and a few days JuJuH is all the punishment he gets: w hile the man who sells the p w mor phine fiend il" train of the drug to re Ifeyqhls suffering Is railroaded off to tic, Atlanta penitentiary. We see all rh'.s day after day. and yet we wonder /vhy the lolling goes merrily on. Our court procedures have 1 1? ? t advanced an liioi?<in a hundred > ears, Kvery other profession has I'voe.n marching on with haniie r> tlyiiux. New and better meth* ud-v Introduced on every hnnd. Our Hiicostors would stand u m.t/ed at thv* farming of today compared v to thirty years- ago. Think of the changes In ! meejianl^al , i<pj>liat?ces of every des cription in all lines of Industry. Rut go Into a criminal corut building and | you sec the same fossilized machinery ' draped- with archaic nios?? and manipu ' lated with the ,sam^ slow and antiquat ! ed methods of a hundred and fifty ?j years aco. The Juries arc not io mainly Ma nn\ ( have made bold to diagnose tbe c :i so with great brevity. I don't he lieve any man who runs and reads can successfully dispute this position. Hrnovate and fumigate our court pro cedures. Give us fair, hut sf>codj jus Itlce and we. would soon see the crime wave recede. There is levs murder In London th.in in main of our villages, j bOeaUWO KOtflHJld' uuH>ta out jiurtlee promptly while our courts glvo them every chunee to 0MJMpCk, Thru* Ih no ?Mk1wc the ft tef that the people! liavr ntte confldenpe in our adinlaia-' ! nit Ion of law.

A nows Item from Lexington, South Carolina says that more farmors arc posting their lands against bird-hunting and trespassing than ever before, and I he explanation given is that farmers wish to prosorvo the tpart ridges on their lands hecanso of the good work that i hey do against the holl weevil. It would not be surprising If Lexington's example In this respect were followed all over the state. The Importance of the partridge or Itob will te as a natural check on the Increase of the holl wee vil has long been known and the advis ability of preserving partridge* in ter ritory" Invaded or about tv he invaded by the weevil has been 'emphasized again and ?jgain. For the most part this advice has gone unheeded so far, hut now that the weevil has arrived flu' people of at least one South Caro lina county have begnn to realize that it is good advice and are acting ac cordingly. The results should !?? highly bene ficial. Vn Impressive demonstration of the practical value of the par tridge us an ally of the farmer may >?** ex|HK'fvd,.and perhaps this will lead many people t? pay more .attention to th?' matter of protect int? wild birds in general for the same reason. The great, majority of the wild birds found In this state art* useful to the farmer- jn ; various ?'h)\ and the most careful scientific investigation has shown that their protection would save the farm ers of Mh? state vast sums of money every year because of the unceasing warfare they wage upon many tractive pests ?

"Careful canvass" of the *00 cotton producing counties brings to light the ixwtivo assurance that the 1021 eotton crop will he reduced 50 per cent* and that food and feed crops In the south will 1>o correspondingly Increased," says .T. Skottowe Wannamakcr, presl* denf of the American Cotton associa tion in a statement Issued from Colum bia. "We are convinced." says Mr. ! Wannamakcr. "that not more than one-third of the cultivated lands in' 10'Jl will ho planted In cotton.
