"It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong, low hard the battle goes, the day how long; Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song." ?Maltbie B. Babcock. The legalized sale of whiskey "lo?. Revenue" is a snare and delusion of the devil. "The "revenue" does not appear, never did appear, never will appear. The cry used to be: "Prohibition won't prohibit." The fear now is that it will?there's the rub. With the new federal laws upon the subject, it will be quite a different situation. ?_. J?? "But the masters, seeing that tla, hope of their gain was gone, laid hold of Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market-nlare he-Torn the nil. ers. And having brought them to the fnagistrates, they said, 'These men, being .lews, are greatly disturbing our city; and proclaiming customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.' And the crowd rose up together against them." It is the hope of gain destroyed that lends vigilance and zeal to the whiskey dealer and the whiskey manufacturer. Money has power to work wonders, upon a man's faith. And when a man's soul is sat isfied by such a sop, he is to be pitied. Thank God, our people are realizing "the life is more than meat and the body than raiment." England is about to declare cotton, a contraband of war. The wonder is that she did not take that attitude before. If coton is used in great quantities in the manufacture of war explosives, it would be as naturally placed upon the contraband list as ' opper steel, or even rifles. For England to seize cotton shipped to he;enemy does not mean that she will confiscate the cotton; she will have to pay for it. True we may not get as much as Germany would pay. Rut were Germany the one seizing cu. inn, not nnjriano, we would fare no retter. And Uermanv's attitude is one that would indicate little, if any | consideration. We are willing that Krijrland should place cotton on the i (ontrahand list. That will, we firm iy heliete, hasten the end of the war. We may just as well tret ready to J noid the hulk of the incoming crop in this country for some months. If that can be done, cotton will brincc t irood price. lonesville citizens are a hit soi ^ over the fact that the highway vthich we hope to have come to Union will pass through Union to (Jlenn Springs, ' thus leaving Jonesville out. In jus- J lice to Union it must he said that \ the pull for thi?s road this time came s from (ilenn Springs?Union merely 1 fell in line, as we understand it. Biu then, the matter may he remedied, j If Jonesville will raise five hundred i dollars, Supervisor Jeter says he will use all diligence to do as much for the Jonesville road as for the road to i ilenn Springs. And that will he got- < ting two roads instead of one. It is safe to say that ten times as much l traffic jroes ovci the Jonesville road ^ to one over the (ilenn Springs road. VV< sincerely hope both roads may he I improved. Personally we use the .lonesvillc road perhaps fifty times to where we use the Glenn Sprinffs road one time. I he mol) j>ot I.eo M. Frank, goinj; < rijrht into (leoriria State penitentiary ' after him. It is a very tiffly thintr | these citizens did -no douht of it. It , was an unlawful act and oes not re- < fleet credit upon the citizenship of our neighboring state. Hut there is ' more than the superficial fact of Frank's death at th< hands of a mob. It is going to happen again and yel again, and in other states as well as Georgia, unless there be found i eure for the affliction that besets us The wonder is that it did not happei in this state more than once during the past few years. The people an losing faith in our courts. The aver age man has come to feel that nione; and not fact counts in the courts The lengths to which attorneys an too often allowed to go, the long ae lays of the law, the almost impossi ble conviction of the worst criminal? these are things wel known by ever; thoughtful man. To have gon through that and come face to fa^ with one man who has power to und' all that had been done?it was a bi too much?certainly too much fo certain of the Georgia people. The contempt in which the law an the courts are held is daily growinj more pronounced. The juggling wit! words, the multiplication of techni calities, the power of money?thes< and many othert things are conspir ing to make the great mass of tlv people regard the law as a thing t< spit upon. The unpunished murderei rapist, incendiary, will ultimately pro duce the mob violence. The growinj number of people who no longer be lieve in capital punishment, who be gin to heap upon the murdered o other hideous violator of law grea showers of sympathy and aid need t get to a clearer view of the law' sternness. You cannot shake dowi the need for capital punishment unti capital crimes cease. You cannot rel >gate the so-called barbarism of ti. death penalty until the barbarism o murderer, rapist and treason ar things of the past. To do so is to de velop not mercy but a chicken-hearte< weaKnes that spells the doom of ou civilization.
