' “Atlanta.—Abolition of whip

taken under consideration by the

probably be held this week.
Governor Hardwick, it is said,
has. virtually made up his m-indl
that the constitution of Georgia
forbids the whipping of cenvicts.
The constitvtion provides that
neither whipping nor banishment
from the ctate shall be imposed
upon any person as a punishment
for crime. The whipping of a
conviet or a prisoner at the state
farm i 3 an incidental part of the
sentence imposed upon him as a
punishment . for ‘crime, the gov
ernor 18- inglined to believe, and,
therefore, - in his epinion, comes
within the meaning of the con
stitution. Attorney General
Napier has given -an opinicn
which he says the whipping of
convicts for violating the rules
governing 'then is not prohibited
by law. . :

llitt:le sum was realized through the

chase more at an early date, which is
a magnamimous accomplishment.
Again we say, “Hurrah for the Par
ent-Teacher Association and the spirit
of push that is so manifest in them.”
The world might prove a poor place in
which to abide were it not for men,
though it would prove a much poorer
piace, less many of the comforts and
advantages that we enjoy were it not
for the leading part women plays in
it. ;
The Parent-Teacher Association is
one of the very best women organiza

espouse that co-operation of parent,
teacher and pupils that is so essential
to a suceessful educational movement,
& Association of this city has ac
‘complished much good thus far since
their organization and its membership
is composed of a strong personality
that assures us that only this session

_ Long live the Parent-Teacher or
ganization and may its membership,
with a like zeal, multiply.

What Shall the Yiarvest Be?
“For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he alsr; reap.’’
Galatians VI:7
This is an unchanging law, just as unchanging as
the law of gravity.
If we sow wheat we reap wheat, if we sow, or plant
corn we. reap corn. A handful of wheat would net feed
a family, but if sown and fertilized would yield a suffi
cient amount to feed a large family several days.
The above is just as true with money as anything
else. We all want to accumulate money and the best way
to do it is to plant it by depositing it in a good safe,
strong bank, like ours, where it will accumulate and
LZrow. e
Let us help you with your money crop. . _

time in chasing the ball this week,
though on Friday afternoon they ac

only eight points difference in the

It was a good game throughout and

their calendar, though they contem
plate a schedule that will furnish
some exciting fun.
