that paper:
Villi r editorial In >0111 last IBJIOC was
Interesting a uit timely, though not
conclusive, M'?ho Crime Wavo" which
is treated Ik undoubtedly with Us. 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

Birds and the Roll Weevil.
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 ? News and Courier.
"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. Thou- j
saints of farmers, large and small, in
various sections of the belt have taken
a solemn oath that they will not plant,
nor permit to he planted, an acre of
tvffnn on their lands in lP'Jl."
