The Vorkville Kmpijrer Is broad chough to admit that the moil orate use of atehol may not Ih- es pecially harm fu 1 to mhiic people; hut i hn I Ia?. pf>| the question. One man has as 111 U (ill rigid to the U*-e of alcohol as ? another if he wants. to make Use of that right. It l-a fact that If there are niuy who can use alcohol in moderation without harmful results-, they are a very small percentage of the whole who will use it at all. It Is a fact that licor Is susceptible of as much abuse ns whiskey by those who wall! to abuse It. The majority of tho>o who use it nt all abuse It. Wlmrever good alcohol may do for the few that good is far discounted l?v the harm it does for the many. The adiid-sslon of light wine mid Iiht is equivalent to throwing down the bars for vverything.

To be sure It if possible to gather exaggerated accounts and it Is not always possible to verify statement* made to newspaper men. but careful ,pdltors can generally pretty well sift the chaff from tl>V grains of truth. Already there has been- some dam age reported from the boll weevil in ltr\lngton comity this year. How much Is going to be done we do not know. If we are. to Judge from the experience of Other sections It ought not to he great tills year. , There Is certainly no occasion for alarm ut this time. Hut t ho time has come when nil of us, business men and runners, must give most serious concern to the formula tion of a definite program to offset the ravages of the weevil. Kvery farmer should do his utmost tu destroy as umny as ii>osslbic of the posts this year and thereby minimize noxt- yWs damage. Squares Tvhtch have fallen should he burned at once > pedal effort should he directed ' toward gathering every ounce of cot ton from the thvkl^nd adopting every available means to secure the best price possible for that which Is grown ? his > ear. Vtusluess men generally should lend every encouragement. moral and llnan fla'l. toward the improvement (?f maiv kcts for other crops and extend every reasonable accomodation to those who are willing to plan their affairs In such a way as to offset" weevil damage. Sooner or filter, perhaps next v0R r> we will i?e llkelK to face a real crisis in the cotton growing industry. Co-op-, eratlon ami business sense can be made to lighten tills crisis to a point where It will* be negligible. Are we gong to have In Lexington that co-op c ration and business sense or are we going t<> set tills down as "newspaper talk" and remain indifferent to the future?

'One of the victims was Marshall's own illegitimate child, the testimony developed. The court's de cision,, read by Associate Just (cell-old en. gave full credence to testimony of Pearl May Miller. 14.. sole, survivor of the tragedy, who escaped the assassin by hiding hth'.ud a door and then saw Marshall kill her father, mother and * sisters and the hitter's illegitimate child. After the first three had been killed, the girl said. Marshall turned his attention to the crying Infant as it crawled across the 11 onr, slaying it with a blow. Referring to the girl's story. Justice llolden declared "she spoke the truth as it can only be spoken 1>V a child," ahd that the Jury was eminent ly justified In believing she had been spared that she might reveal the per petrator of-*'thi? dastardly deed that justice might be done and the inv vin dicated."
