This action followed an address by j Governor Dorsey of Georgia, who: discussed the plan he had developed for forming such an institution in that state, and which, he declared, ! was entirely feasible, and if under- J taken in every cotton growing state, would create a powerful financial i link in permitting the grower to deal. more directly with the spinner.

THE LESSONS' OF IT. Greenwood Index-Journal. "Let justice be done though the Heavens fall," runs the oft quoted maxim though one does not always strive in practice to bring it about. Suppose John and Kenneth Gossett had been captured by a^ mob the day after the commission of the crime at Abbeville?would John Gossett today be alive, a free man and enjoying all the rights of a citizen? How much chance would he have * had at the hands of a crowd, bent simply on vengeance and no concern about justice? * The great danger of the probable punishment of innocent parties was pointed out at the time of the gross blunder made in the first arrest in j this case. ? This first arrest and the outcome of , the trial following the second arrest | ought to be a lesson to all men who : would join a crowd to take the law j ill L V./ I lO W> ii liuiiuc* | A great victory for law and order i was won in the trial last week in Ab- j beville and Judge Sease's position as I to the dignity of the court was up-' held by the development of events, j Aside from the lesson as to respect' for the law is the great moral lesson j which men and women, especially j fathers and mothers, should learn i from the Abbeville affair. Young boys and girls should be taught that there is a conventional boundary line to conduct which must j be recognized and respected. There r is entirely too much freedom in gen- j eral behavior between the sexes in; this day and time. Things "don't j matter" which should matter. Un-j less men and women wake up to the fact the whole social system will be imperilled if it is not already im-; perilled in the lack of respect for, i . conventional behavior. Do you know where your boy and ! you~ girl are aft^r Do you ever protest at the familiar- | sty with which boys and girls mani-b fest toward each other. [ A father who sought to warn his j son against something which his ex-j perienced eye saw coming, carried j him into a room where an electric j motor was humming, furnishing pow-j er to do certain essential things and ; "\lv son. ploctrieitv is a power- ! fill form of energy. Controlled it j serves man in many, many ways. It j gives him power to do great things.; But when uncontrolled it is the most | powerfully destructive agency in! Nature. It carries death and annihi-1 lation along with it. Love for a j woman is like that, controlled it is! the most powerful inspiration forj ?00(1 and happiness which may in- j fiuence a man. Uncontrolled, it leads ! to ruin, to death and to horrors too j fearful to name." ^ j The Lutheran Brotherhood. j Recently at a meeting of the men / of the Church of the Redeemer at j the parsonage a Lutheran Brother-; hood was organized and the follow- j ing officers were elected: President?Dr. John B.

TJhe object of the brotherhood as ; set forth in the constitution is: (1) To lead men into fellowship with Christ and the church; (2) To promote the spiritual, intellectual and social welfare of its members; (3) Tq quicken the activity and increase the efficiency of the congregation with which it is connected, both in the community and in the church at large; (4) To give to men in every condition of life, especially in times of trial, the stimulus 01 unrisuan comradeship and the inspiration that comes from association with men of kindred aims. As a Brotherhood it stands for everything that tends to a noble manhood. The Brotherhood starts off with 44 members. And it is the desire of the j officers of the organization to coral all of the men of the church in this body. The first meeting will be held in the Sunday school room of the Church of the Redeemer Friday evening, April 23, at 8 o'clock.

The man who goes into the street and fires a pistol promiscuously into the crowd is no more of a criminal thpn the one who drives an automobile at a reckless rate of speed over; the streets. 'Almost every day the newspapers, carry stories of persons injured by j reckless automobile drivers in Green- j ville county. And it is marvelous, that as many people as do escape the ? 1-_ ^1- - X. ! murderous vemcies mat use mc streets of Greenville and the roads of the county for a speedway. A citizen of Greenville has offered a reward of a hundred dollars for arrest of the person who ran over and killed a five-year-old. negro girl on Augusta street Saturday afternoon. Several others came to The News office yesterday and volunteered to add to this fund because they want this murder avenged. From many parts cf the city come reports that; automobiles constantly violate the j speed law, jeopardizing the lives of children and other passers-by. Life j if? not safe on or near the public ! 1 nigiiwitjrs. Those who thus disregard the lives of their fellow men should be dealt with no less severely than those who j fixe weapons into the crowd. An i automobile is more deadly than a pistol when in the hands of a reckless person, an imbecile or a drunkard. In the eyes of the law, its wielders should haVe the same punishment. Fines of a few dollars will never put a stop to the practice. ,pl ...l-.x itu + ciiln t hp fit v J f!U>C \\wi> nti v..~ will bear testimony to the fact that the practice of speeding is worse in the county than in the city. But for the open country there would be many more accidents, and even as it is. one rarely ever reads The News without finding an acount of a smashup in which people are injured. Not only is life in pdril, but expensive automobiles are consigned to. the junk pile, and very often the party at fault is not responsible in the courts for the damage done. The law-abiding people of'the city and county should-demand that this rpfkless disregard of the public safety come to an end. It is impossible for a sheriff and a few deputies to police the county an-d there should be rural officers continuously on the job patrolling the roads. The police, with the cooperation of the citizens in reporting violators, will be expected to clear the city streets of those who cannot drive at a respectable and careful rate of speed. In the meanwhile, the driver who killed the negrc child should be searched after until caught and then be given the maximum penalty for the offense. For the safety of the public, such, lawbreakers should not be allowed to escape. Uncertain. Edith?When are you to be married? Maud?The dressmaker hasn't decided yet.
