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— x 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 cross Journal. : Condensed Statement Os The | j; 4 ii First National Bank of Vidalia, Georgia j i. i: As Os June 30, 1922.

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. x 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.

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. THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1922.
