State Does Not Need Electric Chair
Within the past ten days the courts of Georgia has decided two,
cases, one in Augusta and the other in Savannah, and in both in
stances life sentences were given, when if they were guilty, if they
did not go to the electric chair, the state has no use for one. Their
eases were no half way business, they were either guilty or inno
cent, and in no case deserved mercy. They were entitled to a fair
trial and we are sure that they got this in both cases.
But the jurors recommended mercy which meant life imprison
ment, which can mean a very short sentence in Georgia and these
defendants will again be out on the public. If life meant life, it
would be a different proposition, but it does not mean that in
Georgia and in a short time they can, and probably will be pardoned
or paroled.
All the Way with Griffin
As the time draws nearer for the election it looks more and
more like a Griffin landslide for the place. It has been a known
fact that he was strong in the rural areas, but reports are that he
will carry Richmond County, Chatham County and possibly Ful
ton County. If this happens it will mean a clean sweep
The crowds at the Griffin speeches are growing, and those of
Sanders are getting smaller, in fact he has abandoned his major
speeches, confining his activity to making the rural rounds and
making talks to small crowds, luncheon clubs or other small
occasions.
Carl Sanders is a fine young man, but he is young in politics
and someone has given him some mighty bad political advice, and
instead of gaining votes he is losing ground as election day nears.
Yes, it could be a landslide for Marvin Griffin and we wouldn’t
be surprised.

Softball League
Tuesday night’s game in the
Pembroke Recreation League soft
ball program found the Lane Oil
team and the Pembroke Bank team
taking two games by lop-sided
scores. As a result of this action
the Lane Oilers vaulted into first
place in the league standings.
The first game featured the tight
pitching of the Bank's William
Ennis backed up by good play in
the field as his team took the
Shuman Supply team by a score
of 13-2. Pitcher Ennis and Harry
Griner led the hitting attack with
2 safeties each in defeating the
Shuman team which was plagued
by numerous errors.
Bank 0 2 3 0 3 2 3—13
Shuman 0 0 1 0 1 0 0— 2
In the second game two teams
previously tied for first place went
at each other. The Lane Oilers
served notice in the first inning
that they meant business as they
shoved across four runs. Leading
still by 4-0 going into the fourth
frame, the Lane team counted 15
more times in the next three inn
ings to win by a score of 19-2.
Backing Carl Sikes’ fine pitching
was a strong hitting attack paced
by four hits each off the bats of
Gary Strickland and Gerald Barn
ard. Carl Sikes aided his own
cause with three hits, while Tim
Page connected twice for Harn in
a losing cause.
Lane 4005370 19
Harn 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2
The Friday night action was not
counted. The Bank and Harn were
to have tangled in the opening con
test, but there were not the requir
ed minimum of 7 players from each
team present. So the practice
game played was declared no con
test. In the second game suffi
cient members from both the Lane
team and the Shuman team were
present and a game was begun.
The teams ended seven regulation
innings with the score tied 3-3. In
the top of the eighth, as Shuman
pushed across a run, there was a
dispute and officials declared the
game "no contest "
