The Mullens Messeuger closesan excellent editorial with thefollowing paragraph, which TheAdvertiser endorses and offersto its readers: "You are makingyour money here but where areyou spending it? Are you buyinggoods from the local dealer,who pays taxes and otherwisecontributes liberally to the upkeepof the community and yourhome, or are you sending yourmoney away to some cataloguehouse that wouldn't lend youa five cent piece to save your soulfrom purgatory?"

THE LAND OF TO-MORROWThe able and brilliant editor

of the {Savannah Press, Hon.Pleasant £ . Jjtovall, now ministrto*SWitf!erlaud, traveled inexico dfcveral years ago. His

accounts of the habits and waysof those people explain muchthat has been transpiring in thatwretched country the past fewyears. Mr. Stovall called it "theland of Manna".land of tomor-row.which he thus explained:If you asked an idle man, (and,they were generally idle) to dosome work for you, the invariablereply would be "Manna".tomorrow.These people could, ifthey would, learn a lesson fromCuba. That country was for atime very much like Mexicobut Uncle Sam give the unhappyisle the benefit of his help andadvice and Cuba is becoming ane1" and better country. A re-cent issue of the Brooklyn Starand Unioti says that the Cubansare learning that business ismore pleasant and more profitablethan idleness and revolutions.In 1914 America boughtfrom Cuba $(M).000,(X»0 worth ofproducts of that country. SinceCuba went into business as a republicshe has made steady progressin business, in religion andin education. Would that Mexivco would learn the lesson ofv:uban independence and profit

) LAW OR ANARCHY. WHICH?When a mob of twenty-fives

men took Leo Prank from theGeorgia penitentiary, carriedhim over one hundred miles, andhung him to a tree, the State ofGeorgia suffered an indignitythat is difficult to characterise.As to the awtyl crime that Frankwas charged with there are nowords iu the English languagetoo severe to apply to it. Butwhen Gov. John M. Slayton, afterspending days and nightsstudying the legal record of theState decided to change the sentence from banging to life im.prisonment he was exercisingthe power that the laws of theState of Georgia place i in bishands. He stated in explaininghis action that there was toomuch doubt as to Frank's guiltto allow him to affix the dei th

of the judges ot

guilt, after readingtjhe evidence.Judge Jpoan, who tried the caae, ,

left a written statement just before his death that be did not be* <

lieve Frank guilty. Thousands <

of people who had read the 1

evidence as published in the (papers sent petitions to Got. 4

Slayton asking him to do what <he did. To hang a man on doubt- Iful circumstantial evidence and .

the evidence of a vicious negro twas more than Gov. Slaton 1thought he ought to do. Life im- (

prisonment might give a man a jchance to prove his innocence, jr.nd life imprisonment is by ]many people regarded as a living 1death.worse even than capitalpunishment. And yet from the 1

abuse heaped upon Gov. Slaton ,

one might imagine that he had ]granted Frank a full pardon.insteadof condemning him to prisonfor life.The Atlanta Constitution, in an

editorial, headed "Georgia'sShame," urges an immediateand thorough effort to bring tojustice those who have so flagrantlytaken the law into theirhands.The Augusta Chronicle, edited

by one one of the South's ablestand most ifluential waiters, saysin a powerful editorial: "Therecan be but one answer to thisassault on the authority and integrityof Georgia. It is a

straight issue between law andanarchy. Let Georgians choosefor them solves. This climaxwas inevitable as long as we

permitted incindiary publicationsto set Georgia aflame."Tom Watson has cost Georgia

more than ten thousand goodand true men can build in twentyyears."

Boys' and Girls' GlobsI XT I /nim north Uarolina 1

Lieut. Gov. Daughtridge, ofNorth Carolina, believe s the boys'corn, pig and poultry clubs and i

the girls' poultry and tomato '

clubs that have been organizedthroughout the state give prom- .

ise of quickly relieving the stateof tho drain of #40,000,000 thatnow go out of the state yearlyfor supplies that should be raisedat home. He went to Haleigh todeliver an address to the confer-ence of members of the boys'clubs in progress there with thecounty farm demonstrators andis enthusiastic over the splendidshowing that the 235 boys make.

Mr. Daughtridge said that hefeels sure that this movementfor enthusing the country boysand girls in the club work willdevelop in the most rapid waypossible the production of homesupplies and end the drain onthe state that has in the pasttaken about the full money valueof the cotton crop. He expectsthese boys' clubs to brjng up theproduction of corn and meat andthe canning clubs to have the effectof saving from waste vastquantities of fruit and vegetablesthat have heretofore been left todecay in the tields or to go wastein other ways.
