The friend* of Judge M. L. Bonham
? >f Anderson have offered his name
lor one of the vacancies on the
supremo bench. He has the endorse
ment of the Anderson bar. It will
be recalled that Judge Bonham was
defeated by Judge Marion for the
supreme bench by a small lead a feW
ye at 8 ago. ;
Fletcher C. Newman, a farmer liv
ing three miles uouthwcVt of -Kwit*W
Hill, was shot to death while sitting
in his tobacco barn last Wednesday.
Two loads from a shot gun -were
fired, the first taking effect in the
back of Newman's head, and the
second in his face and chest. Tabe
Weathorford and a man named Turn
age were held for the killing.
After very few minutes of delibera
tion by the jury Wednesday after
noon, Henry (Jatlin, prominent Lee
County farmer, was declared not
guilty upon the charge of murder.
(Jatlin sh'6t and killed Tillman Field*,:
son of another substantial Lee County j
farmer. The shooting occurred in
front of Mr. ();itlin's home in the Ash
land section on July h, this year, and
the coroner's jury held Oatlin for the!
crime.

Killing The Farmers' Iriend
When an low a farmer complaincd
that thre ? pheasant* were eating hi>
corn, the game department k i 1 K-<i two
of the birds, examined their Hops and
found -??{) cutworms ? and no corn.
Almost without exception, when the
scientists investigate such cases they
?find the same results. The farmer
owes his crop to the feathered polico
that keep down the bugs, insects and
-worms. With continuing slaughter ol
every form of bird life, the. infect lo<a
will bo heavier and farm work hard
er. The nation could tiain an army
of rifle men in a comparatively short
time but it couldn't in a century re
store the bird armies that are the;
farmers' allies in raising: food to feed
the country.
Insisted on Discount
A train in Arizona was boarded
by robbers, who went through the
pockets of Lite luckless passenger:'.
One of them happened to be a travel
ing salesman from New York, who,
when his turn came, fished out $2,000,
but rapidly took four dollars from the
pile and placed it in his vest pocket.
"What do you mean 1>> that?"
asked the robber, as he toyed with hi-,
re vol v. Hurriedly came the an.swe*':
".Mine fivnt, you surely would not
refu-?' m.' two per zent discount on
a strietiy < ;.-h transaction like di>?"

THIS WEEK
By Artlmr BriifcM*
Mr. Brisbane's editorials are pub
lished as expressions of opinions
of the world's highest-salaried
editor and The Chronicle doe# not
necessarily endorse all of his
views and ooncluskms.
What does the work! need?
Thousands of preachers, standing on
the shore of time and peering into
eternity with the strong authority
that their vocation gives them try to
answer the question.
Here arc u few answer# made in
the pulpits last Sunday:
The Kev. Henry Howard: The Bib!e
is now on the shelf, not enough fam
ily prayers. Not enough religion <n
schools-? .time proves it.
Rev. C. ftyerett Wagner, Methodist
Episcopal: Too much preaching of
hell fire. Too much parading of
wickedness instead of talking about
goodness. Too much tempting listen
ers by describing in detail the. things
that the wieked do.
Kev. Dr. Sookman: Too much
t _ ; *
shifting about from place to place.
Too much roaming. The people be
coming nomadic can't settle down.
Rev. Dr. S. PI. Young, says voters
neglect their duty. They could make
this Republic anything that they
chose to make it if they would take
th.e trouble to do it. Perhaps that is
solemn truth.
Kev. John Roach Straton, who
would willingly help lynch our mod
ernists if his conscience would let
him, says we need more revivals,
That's proved by the fact that there
were ten thousand 'murders and only
a few . hangings and electrocutions in
this country last year. He saw two
holdups in Chicago in one short visit.
Rev. Paul C. Warren: We need
modern prophets to interpret the old
truths in the pew and in the pulpit.
More purity of heart and strength of
conviction will bring the millenium.
But Uev. Charles Francis Potter,
prominent Unitarian, says we need a
brand new religion, and he proves his
sincerity by resigning from his job.
It is very enlightening to read twenty
or thirty sermons a week.
If you would like a pet bison you
can get one from the Government.
Too many of the big animals are in
Yellowstone Park, so 100 of them are
offered free to citizens that will pay
the cost of catching and expressing.
The Government has proved that
the "dying bison" can be brought
back to life. Perhaps the Govern
ment will do as much for the dying
and vanishing forests, much more
important than the picturesque bison.
.Miss Fay I^anphier, young Cali
fornia girl, who "easily and natur
ally" won the beauty crown of "Mi-js
America" says, "Marriage -won't in
terfere with my career." Of course
not. The real business of human be
ings on this earth is to make it a
little better while they are here, and
hand on what ability they have to
future generations, that they also
may work.
Good qualities, as heredity proves,
are handed on by women. And the
woman whose program does not in
clude marriage can't possibly have a
complete career, no matter what the
feminists may say. In a chain, the
link that breaks is nut the successful
link.
It lias been suggested here occa
sionally. during the past ten years,
that architects should have their
minds on landing roofs for flying
machines. Now Chicago, about to
build a $ lo, 000, 000 post office, will
ask Congress to approve a building,
two city blocks long with a landing
roof for the flying mail. That would
cut Hn hour off the mail flight from
Chicago to New York.
Not far in the future will come
the new city, one building devoted to
one single business, with a landing
roof for buyers and soliers, and em
ploycs flying to work in the morning
and flying back at night.
The great "congested traffic prob
lem" may be solved from the roof
before it is solved in the streets.
However, don't let that discourage
you about good real estate.
The great stock ranches of the
Panhandle district are being cut up
into cotton farms. Stock land that
-ohl from r?0 cents to $2 an acre now
brings from $20 to $-10 a* cotton
land.
Tht college man of today :? read
ing three times as many book* as
did h :* father when he attended col
lege 2."> years ago, says Asa Don
Dickinson, librarian ot the Cmvorsity
of Penn*yi\an .* I/biar>.
