ENGLAND’S WAY.
\Ye may not admire the English government
and the English people in many of their laws and
customs, but America could learn much from the
old land when it comes to respect for law and the
prompt enforcement of law.
iiere in Georgia we are familiar with many
dastardly murders, where there seemed to be no
question of guilt, but owing to the fact that the
defendants were able to employ astute lawyers, the
cases are dragged over years, time after time the
case going to the higher court on appeal, and new
trials being granted, until the patience of the law
abiding people was exhausted and respect for law
was sadly impaired.
Contrast our enforcement of the law with Eng
land. Some six weeks ago Field Marshal Wilson
was assasinated, and six weeks after the crime had
been committecd the murderers had been tried, the
case had been appealed to the higher court for re
view, the appeal disposed of and the murderers ex
ecuted. This is not an exceptional case, but an il
lustration of prompt trial and sure punishment as
handed out by the English people to all law-break
ers.
Our judiciary system is sadly in need of reno
vation and it would seem that we could learn much
by adopting some of the English proceedure. To
sec some system adopted whereby justice would be
meted out swiftly and surely to the law-breakers
would he a great encouragement to all who believe
in the enforcement of our laws and would do much
toward stamping out the spirit of lawlessness now
prevalent throughout the lan 1—

MORE BOY BABIES THAN GIRLS IN GEORGIA
Georgia in 1921 disproved the popular theory
that more girls than hoys are born. The predomi
nance of males, however, was slight, there being
59 more boys in each KKX) births than girls. This
interesting bit of statistical matter is contained in
-the annual report of the Georgia State Board of.
Health. •
1 here were If) 7 suicided committed in Georgia
last year—chiefly Ivv means of firearms, 49.7 per
cent being in this manner, A fraction over one
fourth took poison, preferably opium and carbolic
acid ; 3 per cent turned on the gas ; 8 per cent hang
ed themselves; 4 per cent drowned, and 1 per cent
jumped from high places.
There were 1258 deaths from accidents, 251 of
these due directly to automobiles, railroads and
street cars, 40 were asphyxiated, 37 were struck
by lightning. Os the homicides, 154 were whites
and 404 were negroes. More than 75 per cent of
these were by firearms. In a summary of all the
deaths nt violent nature it is shown in the report
that 35 per cent were due to firearms.
In the matter of social diseases, which consti
tute the state’s greatest health problem, according
to the report, 7179 cases were reyorted in 1920 and
11,384 in 1921, an increase of more than 4,000. This
increase, however, was said to be due to closer-co
operation from the physicians and the people rath
er than to an actual increase in disease. On the
whole, it is taken that there is an actual decrease
in the number of social diseases in Georgia.—Wav

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR
WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS.
The St. Paul Crescent recently carried the fol
lowing scintillations as to this country’s needs:
What this country needs is not a new birth of
1 freedom, but the old-fashioned $2 lower berth.
What this country needs is not more liberty,
but less people who take liberties with our liberty.
What this country needs is not a job for every
man, but a real man for every job.
What this country needs isn’t to get more taxes
from the people, but for the people to get more
from the taxes. *
What this country needs is not more miles of
territory, but more miles to the gallon.
What this country needs is more tractors and
less detractors.
What this country needs isn’t more young men
making speed, but more young men planting spuds.
What this country needs is more paint on the
old places and less paint on the young faces.
What this country needs isn’t a lower rate of
interest on money, but a higher.interest in work.
What this country needs is to follow the foot
steps of the fathers instead of the footsteps of the
[ dancing master.

MAKING MONEY FROM TOBACCO.
Among those from the Hahira section bringing
tobacco to Tifton Wednesday was a negro farmer
who owns a one-horse farm and works it himself.
For four years he has planted just two acres in to
bacco each year. Wednesday he brought one-fourth
of his crop’to the Tifton market. ITe received a
check for a little over SSOO for this one-fourth of
his crop, or the crop from one-half acre. Ho told
a Tifton man that he owed a little balance on his
farm, a little on his mule, a small sum for fertilizer,
etc., and that this check would pay all ire owed in
the world except SO. Tie was a quiet, unassuming
ic-ern, hut he has found the way to wealth and in
depondenoe, and that way was through tobacco, a
small crop, cultivated carefully, gathered at: the
right time, and cured in the right way. A mistake
> o majority of those who experimented in tobacco
made was in planting too much. There were many
white farmers from the Hahira section here Wed
nesday who made monev out of tobacco, hut we
rive this illustration of the negro grower because
his acreage was small and his profits large. Tif

Prohibition is a nice old cat, according to Car

Macon is having a lynching probe. Now, if
they convict any one of participating in the lynch

many communities in Georgia have never been able

The sea island cotton industry is coming back
again, we are told. At the experiment station at
Reidsville the State Board of Entomology has a
crop that has been grow this year which farmers
declare is as good as they ever made before the
coming of the weevil. This crop has been made
possible In the use of calcium arsenate, at a cost
of three to four dollars per acre, and careful seed
selection.
