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.

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 appears at his worst when he should appear at his best Ho falls In hit 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 rassment Increases Instead of de creases and the most pitiful sight you can Imagine la a well Informed. Intelligent and forceful man getting on his feet and not being able to say even one th'rd of what he thinks. The boys need the public speaking course and they ought to have it In every school In the land. IS YOUR 8CH00L A SAFE PLACE FOR YOUR BOYS AND GIRLS?

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 meeting at -10 o’clock with all mem. bers present On Chairman Williams call for the minutes of ths last meet 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. HOMER WILLIAMS, Chairman. S. L. HEALD, Clerk. (Advertisement) PRICE8 ON CALCIUM ARSENATE ARE DECLARED TOO HIGH Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4. The state board of entomology rejected all bids for calcin arsenates for tbe use of Georgia cotton growers in 1923 Thursday because the board consider ed them too high- The board will at a later date in vite bids and in the meantime will make investigations as to what it costs the manufacturers to produce calcium arsenate.

Brown stated that! they were much higher than tho price at which the board bought! calcium arsenate for the cotton grow-1 ers in 1922.
