THE INSANITY PLEA
The end of the noted Padrlck case
In Georgia came none too soon. The
minister has been senteiced to life
Imprisonment In the state penitentiary.
We all realise that this la merely a
term daring which the pardoning pow
er will be songht nntll it la finally se
cured. Tet, on Its face, a life term
sounds fairly reasonable for such a
dastardly crime ae this young man
committed.
There la no donbt bnt that he had
murder In hla heart. Whatever the
cause of hla anger, whatever generated |
thle insane fire in hla heart, nobody
has yet qulto understood. He Is ab- j
normal or he couldn't hare committed
such a crime, and yet to eay that he
should be spared the punishment for
that crime because be was not normal
Is a travesty on Jnetlce.
life sentence was meted to btm
oa a compromise measure. Che fury
was divided, eight (or banging and
four (or life punishment. Tha eom-
promlee won and permitted the court
to sentonoe him to serve tor Ilfs. U
he Is Insane and cannot work la the

tention. Rain may have washed dirt,
manure, or other materials Into it.
Also mice, rate, rabkits, or otber liv
ing creatures may bare lumped or
fallen into the well. Therefore, an
open well should be pumped dry and
thoroughly cleaned before school
starts.
2. Examine the drinking utensils.
The common water-bucket with dip
per or glass need by all pupils, each
one putting hie or her own contribu
tion of germs and saliva, Into tha
bucket or glaas for others'to drink
after,—this offers one of the surest
ways of spreading measles, whooping
cough, oolds, diphtheria, and other
communicable diseases. If sanitary
water containers of the fountain type
cannot be had, then the water (bucket
should be covered nnd each child

3. Examine tho windows and seats.

The diffidence of some boys and
girls in their school days when It
comes time to "speok on the stage"
Is well known. There are hundreds
of youthful pupils, who make of this
test a bugbear and never really try
to understand why It la forced upon
them, if It is, and what good It will
do them.
This Is a day and time when ready
speakers and thinkers arc necessary.
The man who finds that he cannot
think on his feet, to use a common ex
pression, and has not the faculty of
giving his thoughts In forceful, con
nected sentences. Is out of luck. He

mission many times because he has
not acquired that habit
When the schools of this country
attempt to make boys speak In public
they often fail. It Is duo to the boys
themsolves and they naturally reap
the harvest of vain regrets when they
get into tile big things of life and fall
miserably when a test comes. It Is
quite probable that the so-called civic
Clubs, Rotary, Klwanls, etc., have dona
more for older men in that respect
than any other organization, but all
men are not members and all
berg don't learn to speak.
It Is essential and necessary for the
boy and tho girl as well that they be
given this Ideal practice, not to be
come orators but to speak well when
on their feet. It will mean much tn
any of them In later life, m icn more
than they can ever realize, while they
are using all sorts of vain and silly
excuses to get out of It. The embar

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.
The women of the Federated Clubs
of the United States are planning to
bring to the attention of tho country
what might be termed a uniform dlv
orce law. This law would provide ftv
grounds for absolute divorce: unfaith
fulness, cruel and Inhuman treatment,
abandonment for one year. Incurable
Insanity and conviction of an lnfam
ous crime.
These causes for divorce would ap
ply, If the measure Is carried out to
all states, through a constitutional
amendment and when a divorce It
granted In one state it shall apply
with equal force and effect In all oth
er states. Tho need for some una
nlmlty of legal process In this matter
is too well known for argument but It
Involves states' rights and a few oth
er things that are being widely dia
cussed.
Divorce regulution will be followed
by marriage luws that will prevent
certain sorts and kinds of people from
getting married and there la little
doubt but that would do good. The
sanctity of tho marriage vow Is out
raged thousands of times each year
as any divorce court tn the land will
attest . It must be curbed some way
and the women suggest a national
regulation. It might work more effec
tively, certainly than the present
form.

The Board met in a special called

ing, lir. Bickley moved on Mr.
Chastain’s second that the reading of
the minutes be omitted. Carried.
Chairman Williams, as authorized
at the October meeting, having se
cured a survey and estimated cost of
the erection of bridge approach fills
at Chastain, Ga., subiqittod same as
follows:
Thomasville, Ga., October 81, 1922.
Mr. Homer Williams, Chairman,
Board of Coonty Commissioners,
Thomasville, Ga.
Dear Sir:
At yonr request I bavt made a
survey for the proposed fill thru
Ocblocknea River Swamp at Chastain
and beg to report aa follows:
I told yon off band that the fill
would probably amount to 10,000 cu.
yds. This estimate however was made
on the assumption that the top of the
fill would be placed st high water
level.
After further study, however, it
seemed best to place this fill abovo
highwater on account of the pand
material. Sand melts rapidly when
wet and a large partj>t the fill might
be destroyed if water broke over the
top,
I have made two alternate esti
mates, one fixing the top of the fill
3.0 feet above high water, as follows:
Estimate No. 1
Clearing and grubbing, 4JB
acres 4 300.06
Borrow excavation (mato
fill) 26300 Cards O20e .... 8200.00
Borrow excavation (tempor
ary fill) 1,800 ou yds O
20c 300.00
Claying fill slopes inns
deep - 300.00
Total cost I 6,220.00
The other estimate provides for a
fill one foot above high water with 10
Ins. of sand clay aumclng on top of
the fill and 24lna of clay on slopes.
The top of the roadway will be 1.83
feet above highwater. This estimate
Is as follows:
Estimate No, 2
Clearing and grabbing,
4.6 acres | 300.00
Borrow excav. (main OU)
18,440 Cuyda & 20c 3763.00
Borrow excav. (temporary
fill) 1,500 cu yds. @
20c 300.00
Sand clay surfacing 1X00
Cuyda @ 40c 480.00
Claying till slopes
241ns. deep G00.06
Tolal cost 3 5,448.00
I have shown a price of 20 cents
for borrow excavation, which I be
lieve is ample, since the material is
sand and the average haul will be less
than 50 fceL The county couIJ
probably make this fill for 16 cents
per cu yd with convict forces.
This fill will eliminate all bridges
except the main bridge, a total sav
ing of 210 lineal feet of bridging.
Figuring cost of these bridges at
$5.00 per lineal foot, this saving will
amount to $1,050.00. If maintenance
and renewal costs are figured the cost
will be proportionately greater.
I will be glad to give you any
further help necessary connected with
this job.
Yours Very Truly,
E. JACK SMITH.
Division Engineer,
Thomasville Div. No 9.
Mr- Williams said it ia proposed to
use the old bridge for the present, but
to relocate the fill for a part of the
way and to atraighten the bridge ac.
cordingly when rebuilt.
After discussion at length it was
decided it would be advisable to build
according to estimate No 1 and that
aa there is a good deal of general road
work needing to be done throughout
the county that this job be let to con
tract instead of using the convict
forces to do it. Therefore, Mr.
Thomas moved on Mr. Murphy’s
second that we advertise for com-
; jotitive bids for the erection of these
i 'ills by contract according to the
rant in payment of Mr. Right's salary
in full to date. Carried.
The Building Committee authorized
at the October meeting to act in the
matter of concentrating the County
Stockqde, warehouse, mules, machin
ery, and sundry equipment at the
County Farm reported that they had
investigated and had found that such
a move will prove very expensive to
tbe county in that it will necessitate
not only the erection of additional
Convict and mule quarters, but dwelt,
ings for the Supt of Roads, County
Machinist, Bridge.Foreman and the
Tractor man as all these are men with
families. In this connection it is
pointed ont that there wonld be need,
ed such other buildings as an auto
repair shop, blacksmith shop, sheds
for the 6 trucks and other equipment,
also a commissary and quarters for
the Guards and Track Drivers.
After some discussion of the
matter it was decided to puspend this
move for the present and to boy 2 or
3 acres near the old Stockade on Car-
roll Hill for a location for mule lota
and sheds. Therefore Mr. J. B. Wil
liams moved on Mr. McMillan’s
second that Chairman Williams and
Mr. Chastain be anthorized to secure
prices on 2 or 3 acres convenient to
this Stockade for this purpose.
Carried.
Snpt Brown reported that he had
cut the hay crop at the farm and had
about half the hay baled and is about
ready to begin sowing the oat crop.
He said the supply of oats grown at
the farm are not suitable for seed.
Mr. Bickley moved on Mr. Madre's
/second that the' Chairman and Clerk
be authorized to bay the necessary
amount of seed eats for sowing 260
acres. Carried.
Chairman Williams reported that
the term of employment of County
Police Joe Henry had expired. He
commented on the effective work Mr.
Henry has accomplished during the
past two months and urged that for
the beet interest of the county that
this work be continued. Therefore
Mr. Thomas moved on Mr- Bickley’s
second that the services of Mr. Henry
be continued for tho preeent Carried.
Mr. McMillan reported complaints
that the Pittman and Pendergast
Hills are tn a very bad condition and
almost: Impassable, and that cars are
getting stuck dally at these places.
He asked that the matter have
immediate attention. Mr. Bickley
moved on Mr. J, B. Williams second
that Snpt Brown be instructed to
take the sfang as soon ns he completes
the road- now being worked i n the
Coolidge district and repair these
hills afterwhich he is to return to the
Coolidge district Canned.
Mr. Murphy reported that District
Overseer J. G. Carr has resigned his
position in the Merrillville District
He said Mr. Carr is moving to Florida
and that he haa pracucally finished
this year’s collection of Road Tax
there being only two delinquents.
Mr. Bickley on Mr. Chastain’s
second moved to accept Mr. Carr's
resignation and that Mr. Murphy be
authorized to complete Mr. Carr’s
work for the year or until his suc
cessor is appointed. Carried.
There being no further business the
Board adjourned.

In order to avoid confusion and to

District to the effect that he hat
neglected to follow instructions in
riding the cattle ranges of the tick in

that all cattle ia this territory were
being dipped regularly every 14
days as required, and that as a conse
quence, all the cattle not being dipp
ed, matured fever ticks had shown up.
As evidence Dr. Pearce produced
several grown ticks, and said that
thsse ticks could not have reached
maturity on cattle dipped every 14
days and that Mr. Bight's services
have proved very unsatisfactory. Af
