A CURB MARKET FOR
COUNTY.
The people of Thomasville have
been reading about curb markets for
some time. Many of the cities in this
part of the state have taken up this
idea and are bringing the producer
and tbe consumer together at o mini
mum of expense. They have been re
ported most effective methods of tils
posing of produce direct to the con
sumer and creating a demand for
farmer's products.
There have been co-operative sales
inaugurated in many sections of the
THOMAS accompanied with a more satisfactory
measure.
This plan may be Ineffective, doubt
less la but it la better tban any other
plan ever invoked and Georgia should
go mighty slow in attacking it The
idea is thoroughly right and a rigid en
forcement of this act would create a
more nearly equal burden of taxation
in the state. Such a condition Is da
voutly to be desired.

HEALTH NUR8E FOR THOMAS

The County Beard of Health has
accepted a proposal from tbe local
chapter of tbs American Red Cross
to put on a Public Health Nurse In
Thomas county. This decision was
made during the -present week. The
Red Cross offered to furnish a car for

ii, perhaps In • short Urns to the credit

It has been printed in some of the
newspapers of Georgia that a bill will
be introduced In the Legislature at tbe
present session of that body to abolish
capital punlahment in this state,
this connection the following from a
recent Issue of an Iowa newspaper is
Interesting and timely:
"Sentiment among the attorn
ey! attending tbe annual conven
tion of the Iowa Bar Association
practically is unanimous in sup
porting the statute providing the
penalty of capital punishment for
murder. The lawyers and Judges,
who represent the closest famili
arity with tbe elements of crime,
and who thereby establish that
they have extensive knowledge of
crime conditions, have no hesi
tancy In upholding the old law of
a life for a life. Murderers should
pay for their crimes with death on
the gallows or in the electric
chair. Various persons In differ
ent walks of life will differ from
them, as do some members of
their own profession. The most
frequent argument offered Is that
capital punishment outrages mor
ality, breaks one of tbe command
ments without restoring life to the
victim whose death Is avenged,
and that sanction of capital pun
ishment by the state lessens re
spect for life."
It all depends on tha point of view.
The mere fact that the state takes
tbe life of a murderer does not estab
lish that society holds life cheaply.
There la a difference between wonton
murder and legal execution. The state
seem sto emphasize the high value
placed on human life by demanding
the greatest sacrifice of which a hu
man being is capable as a price for
murder. If the atale did not value
human life so highly it could not
reasonably demand such payment as
death by taking tt. Human life thus
Is held up before all society as a
priceless thing, something sacred and
Inviolable. To take it a slayer must
give all that he possesses. Surely,
the sense of value placed on human
life is not lost through tbe state's
practice of taking it
How Is It possible to prove tbat
capital punishment does not deter’ It
seems to be much less difficult to
prove that ft does. London Is the big
gest city In the world, more than
twice the size of Chicago, and, because
murderers are put to death In England
at the ratio of about 9 to to convicted
tbe mortality rate of murder victims
Is extremely low. One year London
had thirteen murders and eleven hang
ings. The same year Chicago had
more than 100 murders and fewer
hangings than hud Loudon. It Is easy
enough to make the claim that capi
tal punishment does not deter murder
ers, but It Is bard lo prove It. It might
be that without capital punishment
there would be more murders than
ever. The picture of the gallows In
the mind's eye of the would-be mur
derer Is bound to have a wholesome
effect upon him. Remove It and the
fear of pnlshment is lessened. Nearly
git psychologists agree on that.
The News readily agrees with tbe
idea that the death penalty safeguards
FAIL TO DEFEAT TAX EQUALIZA
TION LAW.
The filibuster against the repeal of
the Tax Equalization Act resulted In
the defeat of the measure in the Geor
gia Senate this week. This body de
clined to approve the repeal of this
act, which has been In operation for
several years. The action of the Sen
ate will perhaps be criticized by that
until the people of the state are e)ement ln Georgia, which has been
amind to rise up and demand tbat
measure
attempting to defeat this
ever since it -became law.
This measure was designed for the
sole purpose of equalizing the burden
of taxes, of making each piece of
property In the state take Its propor

SENATOR HARRIS RAPS
NEW YORK SENATOR FOR
HIS FLINGS AT SOUTH
Washington, D. C., July 14.—Sena
tor Dial of South Carolina and Shields
of Tennessee, ln speeches to the Sen
ate yesterday expressed resentment at
the action of Senator Calder of New
York In inserting In tbe Congression
al Record of Wednesday, under unanl
mous consent a dispatch to a New
York newspaper referring to the re
cent lynching of two negroes
Wayne county, Georgia, who bad been
reprlved by Gov. Hardwick and to the
sermon of Rev. P. T. Holloway.
The article published In the Record
was headed: “8ays They Aided
Lynchers—Georgia Minister Accuses
Officials ln Charge of Two Prisoners.'
Senator Harris said the Insertion of
such a story was on attempt to exag
gerate Iawlessne8a ln the South and
he Informed Senator Calder that
there Is more lawlessness in the city
of New York, where the Senator lives,
In one week that there !■ in tbe state

Reading from a New York news
paper of yesterday, Senator Harris
recited a few of the crimes commit
ted In that city within the past few
hours, including the murders

Jew.
This was hut a. partial list he qgid
and the dally list of crime In
York, Including murders sad holdups,
was too long for tbe Record, yet the
Senator from New York, said Sena
tor Harris, “talks of lawlessness
Georgia and refers to lynchinga. It is
dangerous to walk abroad 'in daylight
In the Senator's city. It Is not dan-
gerona In Georgia. The South should
be left alone to settle its negro ques
tion. It is doing the very best it can
and Interference from outside will not
help. The good people-of the South
and Georgia deplofe lynching! just
as the good people of other etates de
plored them. Many negroes have gone
North and received treatment differ
ent from what they have expected.
Some of them have been glad to come
back home where they are well treat
ed. Negroes who came North expect
ing preferential treatment and
pioyment have been disappointed.'

Into consideration of the question.
Tbat Is a matter of vengeance, and tbe
state should not seek revenge. What
the state ought to consider at all
times in punishing offenders Is the ef
fect of that treatment upon crime and
criminals in general. Capital punish
ment serves two purposes: it removes
the murderer, precluding the possibili
ty of his committing another crime of
that kind, and It serves as a warning
to others. When it comes to a matter
of moral ethics the state does not oc
cupy a position In which It can be
censured, for In Imposing capital pun
ishment It does not ask more of the
murderer than that which he took from
another. There can be no injustice
