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

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.

"California Fig Syrup" is
Child's Best Laxative
Even if cross, feverish, bilious, constipated
or full of cold, children love
the "fruity" taste of "California Fig
8yrup." A teaspoonful never fails to
clean the liver and bowels. In a few
hours you can see for yourself how
thoroughly it works all the souring
food and nasty bile out of the stomacn
and bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Of course, it is much better to prevent
crime than to try to cure it. 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

by having a thousand channels flow

men from larceny and homicide toward

welfare.

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

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.

FARMERS THINK
OVER THE FACT
Cows, Cream, Milk, and Pigs
Against The Boll
Weevils
Did you know that a cow giving only
one and one-half gallons of milk
per day for 300 days would give 3,870
pounds for the year?
Did you know that should this mill:
test 4.5 per cent butter fat, this co\
would nrodure 174.15 nnumls nf hut
tor fat?
Did you know that this butter fa'
at the present price would be wortl
more than $87.00?
Did you know that at this rate you
could sell $8.70 worth of butter fat
per cow per month for 300 days?
Did you know that the 3,289 pounds
of skim milk from this cow for a yeai
would be worth $13.15 for hog feed?
Did you know that the manure from
I this cow for a year, if saved, would
be worth more than $25.00?
Did you know that the calf frontalis
cow would be worth something?
Did you know that the feeds neces
sary to feed this cow, if bought, would
cost between $-10.00 and $50.00 per
year ?
Did you know that you could raise
practicall vail the feed for this cow
and make money selling it to her?
Did you know that a few good cows
would be a fine weapon for fighting
boll weevils?
Did you know that other farmers
are making money out of their cows;
why don't you put yours to work?
Get some good milk cows, sell
cream to a creamery, and increase
your stock of hogs. This is the
coming in all the time. It is the
nuickpst. war to havp somp monev
I coming in all the time. It is profitable
and a good way to beat the boll

in his head. The body of Mrs. Tucker
was found in tho -i 1

carried and jewelry worn by Mrs.
Tucker was missing.
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. Waller, of Mayfield, Kv., the
i young man's father, reached Memphis
l as he and his son had planned to
1 leave there for a business trip through
Arkansas.

is in Franklin, Tenn. They had
been separated for three years, according
to relatives, but neither had
J obtained a divorce.
I Mrs. Tucker was rendered uncon|
