PAGE FOUR TWIGGSOKCONTINUES iu com Little Work Gotten Out of Prisoners After Lash Was Abolished JEFFERSONVILLE, April 26. Twiggs county has changed hei system of working the public roads. Beginning this week the county abolishes the convict system in fav or of the tractor and grader, send ing the convicts to Baldwin county for the time being. The county commissioners have for some time contemplated the change, and recently decided to buy a tractor and graders. A ten ton tractor, with two large graders, was purchased, and these together with a small squad of laborers em ployed by the day will compose the county roads working force. The work of the tractor will be in charge of John Lee, an experienced tractor man. The change will save the county hundred of dollars, it is thought, besides giving more satis faction in the upkeep of the public highways. The commissioners de clare that little work could be se cured from the convicts after the lash was abolished.

CHKHESMANDING RIGHT TB WICK Say Christianity Must Be Ap plied In More Great Moral Problems WASHINGTON, April 26. “Leaders of churches are tired of preaching justice i,n theory and closing their eyes to injustice in practice. “Christianity is to be applied more to great public moral ques tions rather than to remain in vague abstractions. “Christian ethics will not be left entirely to be determined by Con gress. “The people in the churches are rapidly coming to look at all pub lic affairs as matters of Christian ethics. They reserve the right to express their judgment from the view point of Christian principles on any acts of Copgress.” These statements showing the determination of the churches to ex press Itheir opinions to Congress on various acts of legislation arc made by the Rev. Dr. Charle S. Macfarland, General Secretary of the Federal Council of Churches in the current issue of its “Bulletin.” At the same time it is stated that the churches will sedulously refrain from “lobbying’ ’or any attempt to coerce legislators by organizing the voting strength of their districts for or against them.
