NEW JUDGE WIDELY QUOTED Greenwood.?"I am almost persuaded that for the country we ought to go back to public executions," Judge C. C. Featherstone, recently elected circuit judge, declared today in his last charge before the grand jury in county court here. "With the old fashioned hangings it took several days to build the scaffold, and the executions were witnessed bv manv DeoDle. manv of them young people who never forgot the force of this example. Now we take condemned criminals to Cdlumbia and 1 have heard ^people say they didn't believe they were executed. When the executions are private, we lose t!he full force of the example," Judge Featherstone declared. He cited figures to show the alarming increase in the numbers of homicides in this state. "The whole trouble is that we are letting sickly sentimentality get away with our better judgment," he s^id. "Let the most atrocious murder be committed and yet people will sympathize with the murdered. As long as a murderer believes that he can go into court and by hook or crook, too often crook, esJinrl ti n will nrtf Viooifuta of fV>o v.?(. ??.|V* Iiv IT * I | ||\> v HVkllVUW UV VUV. crime. "The Ku Klux Klan h.is been organized because some felt that they had to take the lav/ into their own hands. Their excuse is that the courts and juries are not enforcing the law. God save us from the Ku Klux Klan. Never has an organization been such a menace. It gives an npportunity for a few cowards to punish their enemies. With it, it won't be long before there will be no government at all. "Too many good people are in sympathy with lawbreakers," Judge Featherstone continued in his charge. "Too many people hallo 'dry' and act 'wet.1 They are actually worse than the violators of the law. Manv think they can get rid of the prohibition law by laughing at it Some judges have declared from the bench that it could not be enforced. The Lord save us from such judges. The majority of the people can enforce the law if they want to enforce it. "All citizens ?ire interested in the tax question and the grand iurv can make recommendations regarding it. 1 want to see a big tax on luxuries. I use a good deal of tobacco but I am willing to pay a tax on rt. We ought to tax luxuries and take the burden of taxation off the necessaries of life." (What Judge Featherstone said about law and order generally and the Ku Klux Klan, has been copied and quoted all over the whole country.

We must remember that crime is but an: extension <ot our social life in an adverse way, as art, music or education is in a Rood way. Therefore, if we wish to do away with crime we shall have to take* away its causes. As long as we have greed, intemperance, only a material goal, a scouting at discipline, and an apathy towards religion we shall have the regular flow of evil doers. The courts and the prisons Tiandle men after they become criminals, it is the duty of our communities and homes to diminish the courts and prison's work by sending out fewer persons that are destined to be enemies of the common good. Society is so closely knit together and the current of its life so intermingled 4.1 i. A I i ?* J ? ' umL we cannot get rm ot a vice except by having a thousand channels flow with goodness. Only the high purpose of organized citizenry can turn men from larceny and homicide toward labor and helpfulness and of public welfare. -o HOMICIDES One of the astonishing elements in our statistics of crime is the rapid growth of homicides. The following table of homicides was obtained from the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the State Hoard of Health: 1915 139 1915 - 208 1917 *r. 179 1918 lfiO 1919 236 1920 250 1021 301 One comment should be made here; the character of many of these homicides was especially revolting. In a number of cases there was murder in the most burtal form, in others there was killing of kinsfolk by kinsfolk. Readers of the daily press cannot hut be aware of the growing heartlessness in the methods by which murderers #i olninr\f? I f a!1 An t u I d I U I d \ III/-, tllvl I icuvin IIICII in vino State.

' BOY GETS SICK FROM INJURIES Leo Johnson, the young son of H.ump Johnson, has not recovered from the effects of the bullet which he received when a riflle he was playinu: with accidently went off, the ball passing; through his body and lodging in the muscles in his back. He was ttiken to the hospital just after the injury and by means of an operation his life was saved. He was brought home from the hospital never having recovered the use of his right leg. It was believed that he would grow better and recover. He is now sick again and laid up in bed. He cannot hold bis body straight owing to the injury caused by the bullet. He has to remain half bent and his right leg is said to be growing smaller as time goes on. ' His father stated last week that he would have to take him back to the hospital and see if something further can be done to aid him in his trouble. It was considered a wonderful thing that the boy survived the effects of the shot which passed through a portion of the intestines, according to the report made from the hospital after the operation was performed. The story of the accident has already appeared. The boy was playing with the rifle and attempted to put it down. As he placed the gun down, with the stock downward, it was discharged and the bullet took efTect in his body.

Mrs. Tucker is said to he the wife of Ellis Tucker, of Franklin, Tenn., and before her marriage, 4 years ago, was a resident of Murfreesboro, Tenn.

The couple were last seen about 0 o'clock Saturday night when they motored to a suburban soft drink stov^. Mrs. Tucker lived with her mother, and was said to have h^en introduced to Waller a day before the couple met death. Her father is confined in a hospital near Hopkinsville, Kv. C. E.

Ellis Tucker, husband of the woman, is in Franklin, Tenn. They had been separated for three years, according to relatives, but neither had J obtained a divorce.
