OFFICIAL OROAN OF BUTTS COUNTY THE BEST PAPER IN THE BEST TOWN IN THE BEST OOUNTY IN THE BEST STATE IN THE BEST COUNTRY. FORTY-FIRST YEAR. ATLANTA LAWLESS CITY, DECURES JUDGE DANIEL IN 6HAR6E ID MONROE 6RAND JURY Flint Circuit Jurist Attributes Disregard of Laws to improper Training in Homes and Schools—Con trasts Atlanta With Winnipeg, Canada. According to the statement made in his charge to the Grand Jury at the opening of the February term of Monroe Superior Court on last Monday, Judge R. T. Daniel con tends that the people of this coun try have little regard for law or respect for authority. The reason for this he believes to be due to the fact that our children are not prop erly trained in the homes and schools. In support of his asser tion, he compared Atlanta with Winnipeg, Canada. Said the Judge: “I never saw or appreciated the power and benefit of the proper training of children in obedience to authority as I witnessed last summer in Canada. “I was in Winnipeg attending a large Convention. There was a parade in which 15,000 persons participated. There was estimated to be on the streets about 50,000 persons. The sidewalks were pack ed with people. To hold back this vast number of people the city au thorities, instead of tying a rope from post to post, and having a large number of extra policemen to press the crowd back, simply laid down a rope on the sidewalk about twelve inches from the edge, and, in a drive of about three miles through that great crowd, I never saw a man, woman nor child step over that rope. “What a wonderful exhibition of obedience to authority, respect for law! These people from child hood had been taught to obey, re spect authority. They had been told one time that they must not step over that rope in reviewing a parade, and that was sufficient. “Tvfro years before, that same TO HELP WOMEN EMPLOYEES That every shop girl and woman employee in Georgia has a statu tory right to sit down in comfort when she is not working, and that her employers must provide her a chair or bench for the purpose, is the substance of a ruling by Com missioner of Labor btanley, which will probably affect a large num ber of department stores in Geor gia and other industries employing girls and women.

Inspection of Jackson Rifles Local Company Hade a Good Showing. The inspectiou of the Jackson Rifles on Tuesday evening at the Armory by Major F. L. Palmer and Captain J. M.

Tie party was returning to Flovilla after spend ing the day in Macon. convention met in Atlanta. About the same crowd of people in num ber were on the streets. Large ropes had been tied from post to post to keep the crowd back. An extra number of policemen were on duty, and yet the crowd ran over the ropes and the policemen in such a man ner that the carriages could hardly get through the streets. Now, what |is the result?

The people of Canada respect law and authority and there are few crimes.” J JACKSON. BUTTS COUNTY. GEORGIA. FRIDAY. FEB. 7. 1913. SHE CAN’T GET OVER IT LOCAL S. S.
