Chisholm, who is one of a committee of four covering the Southern States, and who has been designated ta receive contributions for the American nutional committee, for the foundation of a special American hospital in Paris for wouuds of juw and face, says that since the publica tion in The Intelligencer Thursday morning of an article outlining the work to be done he has received sev eral contributions. This ls a worthy cause; the solicitation for funds ls carried on with the sanction of tho American Red Cross, and your help, If only a little, will do great good. Our contribution to Belgium, we be lieve/ averaged about sevon cents for each person In thin country. A per capita average of thirty cents has been given for all relief movements abroad. The American people hove responded to the extent of $30,000,000? to help tho distressed and starving vlctjms of war. In Belgium, Poland, .Serbia, Ar menia and elsewhere. Th? :->m??'lnt ls'cnnVid?>rable? but com pared with our expenditures for lux uries in the class of real extravagance lt IB only a very small fructlon. We havo helped to save thous ands of people from .starvation and from the portia of exposure, but we hnvt not stinted ourselves nor caus ed ourselves ttye slightest discomfort for what we have done. NEW LEO AL ETHICS Bench and Bar, a lawyers' maga zine, makes tho revolutionary state ment that lawyers should atop the practice of undertaking the defense of mon they believe to be guilty. It in sists that merely to iiroc??d automati cally with the customary legal form tends to Impart prejudice -io the jury and give the guilty man an undue chance of escaping punishment. As for deliberately going about ; to use all the resources of tho law and taka advantage of all looiuoiea. Bench and Bar holds that that must bn con dt-mhod as unethlca'. ! It would be interesting to know how large a percentage of the legal pro fesaton agrees with Bench and Bar. There are senke w!o habitually refuse |o defend men they know to be guilty. Most lawyers, however, apear to re gard lt aa an uhjueatlonable right to tafee such cases. Some go ao far aa to, call it a' duty.. .' They ^ke^thejpo 'sltlouv that they- are acting not as persons but as a part bf the legal machinery provided by the law to Insure a fair chance to every accused man. They argue that evon the guil ty man has a right to the best de tente a lawyer can provide him. There ls no iQuoatlon, however, in the mind of any intelligent cUUon.j whether lawyer or layman, that the present system "leads to grave abusos. There are too many canoa .'framed up" by over-zealor.:; cr unscrupulous law yers to s a YO j;uil ty men from merited punishment.

NEYEK BEARII OF KAHLEY Concerning A Trip Two EasleviteK Made To Georgia in A Ford (From Tho Ensley Progress.) Editor Progress:-Mr. George Ham ilton und myself took a trip of about 150 miles through the country In one of Mr. Ford's cars that wo bought and paying for, dollar down nnd dollar a month. We started frum Easley on the inh nt ?. in the morning; went by woy of Anderson and our destination was Lawrenceville, Ga. From Ander son we went hy way of Craft3 ferry on tho Savannah river, thence to Hartwell, (Ja., where our good friends, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Cheatham have located, and wc stopped and had a few words with them. Mr. Oheatham had not froten up. but Mrs. Cbeatham was up getting breakfast, like all other good women have to do. They have a nice town and a nice clean cotton mill, and we expect great things of bis mill as John always made n success nt whatever his hands found to do. We nt? our first meal in Hartwell, and they gave ns good wholesome meals, but Oeorge said tho coffee was a bit too cold. I told him the restau rant keeper was hurried a little too much a? our time was limited; we only bed five minutes to eat. Our next stop was Royston, a lit tle town Just over the draw har?, but the country Waa nice and white. Some of the fields looked like they bud been white washed. Now that kind of land ls almost worthless only to make ronds out of. 1 he roads were the finest Lever sow. Forty feet wide and bad been plaited with six indies of sand and clay mixed, nnd 1 tell you I don't think you could find a spot on Main street In Easley that would eoual these roads. Thence we wont to Uer, which was another cross road with a gas tank and post office, end tho farming land wan white. From thence we went to. Athens, which is r, fine old town with street car*, and water works, which remind ed us of Easley. Athens has a good farming country back of lt. The land ls a red loam and produces tine crops. Thence our next stop was Dagart, Another, cross roads und a gas sta tion for Fovd automobiles. From thence we went to Winder, another gU8olir.o station. Thence to Carl, which was only a cross roads with draw bars. Thence to Auburn, which reminded mo very much of Pumpkin town, commonly known as Graball. Thence to Lawrenceville which WM our destination. We spent* about tine? hours at that place and then be gan our journey back home. "i. Coming back by way of Grayson, M on roo and other pointa too small to luke note of until we reached, Athens, rind from thence back over tho name route we went down. Mon roe was the next town In sise and beauty to Athens. ' When wo drovo Into this town the streets were so crowded with beautiful, well-dressed women that I didn't know whether it was safe to let Georgo stop there pr not. But helore I knew lt he had, stopped the Ford In front of one of the prettiest drug stores we had seen, and got out and began to ell up the rar. Wo had just made a twenty-two mlle , run In forty minutes and ?he motor was . getting pretty hot So I hired a negro to fm the radiator with cool water willie George oiled the car and .locked at the pretty women. I The fertility of the Georgia land ls "vary spotted. Some.; places within ? mlle of each other yon wilt find land tis poor as you ayer'saw, and land that ?'above/ the average In fertility, but t discovered that lt'was not all Va the lurid, but was kn?re lh. the man. . V Somoa'.-laces ~?TI these good rends wo made thirty miles ap hour and George, claimed il was not doing him fair.
