For Sixty l ive Dollars In our city is a woman who would apprei in'.e a bit of generosity in her direction. Quite a while ago she lost one of her limbs, a leg being amputated between the knee and hip. Since that loss she has been compelled to depend on crutches and on these she doe - all the work that i-s to be done in her home, having no servant, indeed l>eing on the relief roll. She ii the mother of six children and an ex pedant mother too. I have looket into the case carefully and havi found the situation deserving help For sixty live dollars this mothei may have an artificial limb that wil not only enable her to do away witl the crutches but will enable her t< do her work without this terribh handicap and within a short time t< get about almost as well as she di< before her loss.

But on the other hand the death sentence IM about the only penalty that the notorious criminal really objects to. The light in court is primarily to o.vajM- the death penalty. If convicted the plea before governors and pardon boards is to have the sentence commuted to a life imprisonment. Why? Because in the first place it is not severe punishment for such fellows; furthermore, they know that in nine cases out of ten they will by some hook or crook secure their freedom before a great while. No man with any of the fine qualities of the human spirit can look upon the death penalty for coime with complacency. But whenever sympathy is for those who kidnap children or murder their fcllowmcn with unprovoked deliberation rather than for the innocent and defenseless victims of theae crimes that man's moral or mental processes are badly out of joint. We say, show sympathy because common justice settled these questions centuries ago and every man's better judgment declares that I capital felonies merits capital pun^ ishment.?N. C.

Flax Program Expands Kst i 11. ?IE x pe ri men la 1 com mer c i a 1 plantings of flax in South Carolina, for use In fabricating cigarette paper, are being expanded, from the original 500 acres in this Hampton county. community, to include acreage about Camden, in Kershaw county. The same company, Champagne Palter corporation, is growing considerable areas in the Eastern Shore region of Virginia and in Oregon. Wade II. Ramsey, Wedgefield man, educated at Clemson college, who i conducted for the Seaboard Air Line j railway the first field trials of fiber j llax in the Southeast, is supervising ' for Champagne Paper corporation the i plantings at Estill and at Camden; ! directing research at Estill for new [varieties, soil a< lapt at ion and fertij lizer requirements, and also sharing t with a mechanical engineer sent down from New York the responsibility for operation of the small mill installed at Estill to prepare Max grown j here and at Camden for the paper mills. Mr. Ramsey is optimistic regarding the future of fiber flax as a new cash crop for the Southern farmer. i The Camden area was chosen for > supplementary plantings because the i fertile, moisture-holding soils of the > Wateree river valley and the adjac ent clay loam uplands were eonsidv ered to be well adapted to flax. Small test plantings are being made in the 1 valley of the Great Pee Dee, where .* similar soils exist. Besides native farmers, some winter resident* of r Kershaw county are co-operating in I the flax production. March 1 has t been tentatively set for the begin3 nmg of sowing for the South Caro> lina plantings. 0 The decorticating plant at Estill is .1 now extracting fiber from the crop s grown la.-t spring.

His name is Martin T. Ansel. Ho was an exceptionally good governor?one of the beat that the state has had. He Hat in his office with the constitution and the statute^ ^efore him. He knew what they meant, he enforced them, saying little about it, and was not beloved of the reporters. He was the chief "executive," and that is all that he tried to be. He sought uo enlarged powers. - No one remembers anything "sensational" in 1 Ansel's administration, he wrought no miracies, he steered away from the whole miracle business-?and stuck to the constitution and the statutes wjiich define and limit the duties of the governor. Nor does one remember any ".Scandals" in the Ansel administration. Budgets were balunced. Prisoners who had been convicted usually got the punishment that the juries and the judges prescribed for them. The law was good enough for .\lartin Ansel, and, as Kipling wrote of "Bobs" (General Roberts), "he didn't advertise." This Pre* byte rian gentleman of German parentage neglected to furnish the people with amusement, with "something to read about," but the people and the state got along right well when Martin Ansel was governor. The constitution and the statutes were his law and his gospel in the governor office.?Charleston News and Courier. WELFARE DOES IT ? at her or mother used to provide for the family, but the father of our land today is welfare. Welfare provides food, shelter, clothes, fuel, mattresses, and blankets. Welfare takes people to the hospital who never thought of hospitals before.

Life In A Small Town "It strikes me as extremely unfortunate," remarked the Madison, (N. C.) Messenger, a few days ago, "that so many people, most of them men and women who have always lived in small towns, have the feeling that the man or woman who ha? devoted his or her life to a small town is necessarily a failure?a person who couldn't make good elsewhere. This attitude that succes in life means "big things"? big cities, big piles of money, big business, etc., strikes us as a rather pitiful ideal. In fact, of late years it seems to be , striking many people in much the j same way, particularly those who are strapped in the saddle of metropolitan life and would give anything to be out of it. "America for all its pounding, overwhelming cities is essentially a small-town nation. Perhaps at the think of out'-elu's as a big city eountiy, but with the increasing thoughtfulness and saneness brought ,,n by recent want, many Americans have come to a full appreciation of the undesirability of being a .'big fish.' *' The foregoing should be read with appreciative interest in southwest Virginia where there are many attractive small towns which offer unrivalled opportunity for living in its fullest and richest sense, "such," in the words of the Madison Messenger, "as valuable contacts with community life, leisure to follow individual pleasures and the gratifying feeling of really knowing the people they work and live with intimately." The big city has its compensations, but life in the small town, more especially life in any number of small towns such as Virginia and North Carolina are dotted with, holds for the average man or woman opportunities for happiness and satisfaction to life that the metropolis cann<'t hope to equal.?Roanoke (Va.)
