Severe "Analytical Arraign ment of the Conspiracy of Technicality and Archaic Procedure that Often Lays the Shadow of Chaos and Blight of Injustice Upon the Administration Law in Amer ica," by Prominent Member of the Georgia Judiciary "The People, Through Their Lawmakers, Should Break the Shackles that Bind the Courts." Atlanta CoriMtitutlon. Here is a scathing .analytical ar raijzimiHiit of the conspiraey of tech nicality and archaic procedure that often lays the (shadow of chaos and the blight of injustice upon the ad ministration of law in America. Jt doen not originate with an ex cited, an irresponsible or a hysterical layman, one of those incurable and chronic "ready letter writers" that lie in ambush for the helpless public. It comes straight from one of the most respected, a blest and experienc ed members of the judiciary in (Jcor iia, a man pre-eminently familiar with the modern history of thisState, and in the country-at-large, and who now sits on one of the Superior Court henelies of the State. His views carry all the weight of one who has prac ticed exhaustively in every phase of procedure, and who speaks with por tentous authority when hedelineates flaws that often make a mockery of the dispensation of justice in this country. Obviously, it is inexpedient to dis close his identity. But the Consti tution vouches for the qualities and the equipment that clothe him with the right to express himself incom petent criticism. In a personal letter to the Consti tution, he vigorously commei.ds the editorials recently deploring the Tennessee Supreme Court decision, which b3T invoking irrelevant tech nicality gives promise of nullifying justice in the famous night rider prosecutions. He then proceeds, aud his views challenge the attention and study of every lawyer and every lay man in Georgia: Deplorable, far-reaching and. in some respects, inexcusable, as the Tennessee decision was, the trouble is fundamental and quite general, at least in the South ern States. In the minds of a large per centage of our people, liberty is con strued to mean license, and the man who openly stands for enforcement of all laws against all persons alike, rinds himself regarded, by a large number of citizens, as a sort of bluebeard, or, perhaps, more nearly a Jeffries. Our leading law-makers, on the judi ciary committees, particularly, are law yers who largely make their living by defending persons charged with crime. The majority of our ableet men and broadest lawyere do not care to enter a scramble for legislative honors in the better part of the States, nor can they afford pecuniarily to devote their time to it. Hence the difficulty in remedying our code of criminal procedure, which has made almost no advancement since the time of Queen Klizabeth. THE PEOPLE. THROUGH THEIR LAWMAKERS, SHOULD BREAK THE SHACKLES THAT BIND THE COURTS. In Georgia we find the ex treme of such barriers. The prisoner's statement, in lieu of sworn testimony, is au absured monstrosity in a court of justice, where the discovery of truth is a prime object, because the unsworn state ment is an instrument to obscure and obstruct the truth powerful enough to acquit the most shrewd criminal, while it is absolutely fatal to the guileless, or to the poor criminal unable to employ able lawyers. I am told that Georgia is the only state where such a justice-defeating absurdity exists. There are many other things that bind the arm that would wield the sword of justice. I do not mean to claim that many courts are not failing to show the moral courage to use the law we already have. But just how helpless are they, when even with the intention to deter mine direct between "right and wrong, guilt and innocence." as you succinctly state, the way is barred by an accumu lation of precedents tliat are vicious, not germane to the case in hand and, worst of all, bv inconsequential quibbles. I HAVE KNOWN THESE LATTER TO FREE MANY A CRIMINAL UN- DOI'RTEDLY GI'ILTY FROM THE STANDPOINT OF MORALS AND COM MON SENSE, SENDING HIM FORTH AS A MENACE TO THE COMMUNI TY, SECURE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HE POSSESSES THE SECRET THAT WILL DEFEAT PUNISH MENT. Unqualifiedly vou are correct when you say that prima facie evidence, or reinforced circumstantial evidence should be the sole test of the action of the courts. Such is the original intent of the law, but these days it has largely fallen into desuetude. I DO NOT SEE HOW PEOPLE CAN RESPECT EITHER LAW OR THE COURTS. WHEN BOTH ARE SO CLUTTERED WITH INEQUALITIES, LOOPHOLES, OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVASION AND DELAY AS TO OFTEN PUT A PREMIUM UPON RASCALITY. AS TO OFTEN' PUT WINGS UPON THE FEET OF THE CRIMINAL AND THE OPPRESSOR. AND SHACKLES UPON THE FEET OF THOSE WHO WOULD BRING HIM TO JUSTICE. AT THE LAST ANALYSIS, IT IS A QUESTION OF THE PUBLIC SAFE TY, THE COMMUNITY WELFARE, THE SAFETY AND PURITY OF THE INSTITUTIONS UPON WHICH REST DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT.

An Old Journalist Who "Drops in" to Pay Mis Respects to the Sage of the Charlotte Chronicle, Becomes Reminiscent He Talks About the Old Washington Hand Press Be fore the Days of the flodern Press, the Telephone Rural Delivery. Charlotte Chronicle. A few days ago, Mr. W. C. Wolfe, a retired journalist, of Monroe, drop ped into the Chronicle office they al ways "drop in," youkiiow and after having lilted a square of tobacco from our desk and made himself comfort able, proceeded to start up a con versation about newspapers as they are now and as they were then. Wolfe was contemporaneous with us, with the exception that while he had a cylinder press, we pulled an old Washington, a press that we have always believed was the original from which all hand presses were made. Said Wolfe: "Just think. In our days there were no telephones. A telegram was eo rare that when one came the editor would tremble as he opened it. There were no rural delivery routes. The paper was a week old before it reached some ofits subscribers. We had to wait until the coming around of court to col lect subscriptions, for in those days 'court week' was the editors main chance. Now, the editor of the weekly paper can turn to his telephone, give a subscriber a little chat about the markets and incidentally remind him that he owes a dollar on subscrip tion aud when the subscriber would come to town he would bring a dollar for the editor." This and much more was said by way of contrast between the papers of then and now. The changes have been marvelous. Nearly ull the country papers in the State now have linotype machines, aud as a general thing, the weekly has given way to the semi-weekly The telephone and the rural delivery have been important factors in this era of progressive country jour nalism. The weekly and the seme weekly paper of today carries pages of news where the paper of the days the two editors were talking about carried columns, but considering con ditions, the country papers of old would bear a creditable comparison with the papers of the present time. Especially is this true when the edi torial pages are matched. But the country press of North Carolina is today perhaps the finest in the South. The Chronicle draws from it each day a department that makes this paper sought after. Statesville has the best edited paperin theState. Wadesboro, Monroe and Rockingham each have two standard weeklies. Gastonia is abreast with the journalism of the day. Lexington has what might be called a metropolitan eounty paper. Henderson has one of the finest. Greensboro and Salisbury run to dai lies. Concord has a tip-top semi-weekly and an excellent daily. Maxton has one of the besc weekly papers in the State and at Marshville is Our Home, a weekly that has a way of speaking out ia meeting that makes one watch and wait for it. These are but instances. Almost every town in the State has a paper that looks better than the paper Mr. Wolfe got out when he thought he was printing one of the best in the State, and tak ing cord wood in payment for sub scriptions. And furthermore, the country ed itors these days do all their corres pondence by typewriter and mighty few of them hold to the old habit of acknowledging receipt of things laid upon their desks. They don't palaver. It has been a long time since we have seen the once familiar expression: "Mr. So-and-So, our pop ular fellow townsman." They are as independent as any other class of business men, and have placed the profession on a thoroughly sound and practical business basis. They are printing papers, not for senti ment but to make a living.

And the fields of growing cotton and the corn blown bv the breere: He can see the bees and blossoms and the orchard on the bill. Where he .hook down harvest apples for tha oia straw cider mill. He can see the upland pasture dotted o'er with craaiBK sheep. And the wheat fields waving golden, ready now for men to reap. He can see the dogwood thicket where the squirrels used to nlar. And the meadow near the river with its heaps ol fragrant hay. He can see the cedars where the mocker in the moonlight sinirs. And the swallow and the robin dip and rie on morning wings; He can see the humming bird hurry to the hollyhock, Aud ont where the shadows play the rriokets leap across the walk. He ran see the cattle standing 'neath the willows in the brook. Where he used to fish for roaches with a bent pin for a hook; And the marsh where grew the lilies that his sweetheart used to prize, When light as sweet a. heaven shone in her merry deep blue eyes. And he sighs .while fancy lingers o'er ench well remembered scene. Of the happy days in Dixie thrown by memory on the screen; And he'd give what he's gained in Wall Street, his gold and treasure rare. To go back one day to boyhood aud the old plantation there. . ENFORCE THE VAGRANT LAW. Idlers and Loafers a Menace to Socie ty, to Law and Order Transition from the Idler to the Loafer, Vag rant, the Criminal Law Should be Enforced and the Vagrant Class Made to Work There is Work of Some Kind for every One. New Bern Journal. Mischief for idle hands to under take haa necessitated laws, which compel idlers to work, or suffer the penalty. The very fact that idle people, and it is not a matter of sex, are certain to become a menace to society causes an alarm to be sound ed in every community, where idle ness prevails. From the idler, to loafer and vagrant is not always a quick transition. But the danger exists, hence the wisdom, if possible, in first preventing the boy or girl from becoming inoculated with the germs of idleness. There is some kind of work for every age in both sexes. There is no reason for anyone to become an idler in the first place, that is, one who refuses to undertake tasks that are possible. One idle youth would not enjoy his or her own society, but with additions, there develops too quick the loufer, vagrant, criminal. And before the last can form, societ' must enact and enforce laws which shall take hold and correct the- vugrant before he becomes the criminal. The parent that does his duty should be the first to prevent the idle boy, and so keep down the loafer. But when the vagrant has become a certainty, then the law must be active, firm and sure. If it hesitates, then soon is society shocked by the criminal that vagrancy has developed and grown. Because a municipality cannot pro vide work for vagrants, it does not follow that the vagrant arrested, may not be put to some kind of work. Farm work is always near, but where is there any town or city whose streets cannot be improved bj' the labor that its vagrants can be forced to give. No community should give a day's grace to any vagrant. Watch should be kept, and policemen ought to be able to quickly determine the existence of a vagrant, and the trangressor be given the chance to reform. Slackness in permitting va grancy to exist, is often followed by some terrif3e crime, a devastating fire or other calamity. Keep vag rants from 'becoming settled by forc ing them to work. , - Crops and the Calamity Howler. Concord Tribune. We do not rememljer a year btit in the spring and early summer the crop talk was most discouraging. It was too wet, too dry, too some thing or other, until weVelt like lying down and weeping over the direful result sure to follow. Somehow this feeling always prevails. Thfrn is so much wrong. But in the end every thing seems to right itself and the crop turns up a certain percentage of the average, whatever that means. This season has been no exception, and almost daily there has bn poor crop talk, much of which bus found its way into print. It may be putdown that in spite of too much rain, too little rain, hail, grass, drought, boll weevil and chinch bugs there will be a crop harvested this fall, in all respects very much like the rest of them that always start off with the very poorest sort of pros pects. In troth the good Lord gives us a bountiful harvest in spite of our mouthing and complaints. And the funniest thiug about it all is that the smallest percentage of this tulk comes from the men who are work ing the crops and depending directly upon them. Life loo.ooo Years Ago.

Writing about the North Carolina Press Association with which he re newed his membership at the conven tion in Ilendersonviile, after an nl sence from the editorial chair of 17 years, Mr. James I. Cook, former editor of the Concord Standard, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Stonewall Jackson Training and Industrial School, and editor of The Uplift. & very creditable little month ly periodical published in connection with the institution, says this : It's been 17 years since I sat with the North Carolina Press Association in annual convention. Connection with this paper made attendance upon and participation in the con vention, which met in Ilendersonviile on June 2.'l, entirely in good taste. It was like going back home to sit on the old porch once more; to drink out of the old well once again; to drive the cows and watch the milking; to walk up and down the fresh ploughed ground and at night to wash one's feet in the old tub that 6at at the back steps. Stop. This talk gives one's early environments away; ami these things having forever parsed have become almost sacred. "Going back home" has its sad ness. Things become larger; while other things have become smaller things change, and these changes sometimes sadden. I missed some faces, for some have read their last proofs; 1 missed others, for they are quietly awaiting that summons that comes to us all and have either re tired to ease orclingclose to the vine and fig-tree. Many of the editors are young men, but I have unmistakable reasons to know that they are repre sentatives of that progress in ability and capacity which obtains in all professions in our State. There remained just enough of the old members to enable a fellow to recognize his whereabouts. Editor Sherrill, the efficient secretary 21 years and recently elected for life, was our beacon light if you want to know anything ask Sherrill. There was Thad Manning, the vpry salt of the earth he was there. Dolly Thomas, the president, God bless him, sent his beautiful message because of physi cal illness detaining him at liome. Archibald Johnson, one of the finest characters in or out of the Press As sociation of the State was there he's fine because he has horse sense and a warm heart. Dan Bivins was there, but I positively decline to say whether he was a member before 1802 because I am under sacred promises to him. Editor Hurley, our neighbor, was there; he was a newspaper man when I quit, but he hadn't just found it out. He read the "history" paper it was pronounced clever. I liked it. The new president, Dr. Atkinson, is a new man comparatively. He is a charming fellow. Ilufe Clark is loud and strong in his quietness; when he speaks all sit up and take notice. He's an old editor, but up at Ilender sonviile everybody thought he was a young man. You can't lose J.J. Far riss; he has been through the game, and he is a winner. 1). J. Whichard was a comfort to me. Bob Deal was there; though frail in body, he has the same fire as of old when he tried in 1802 to tret water out of ft "push button" in the Buford hotel in Char lotte. Josephus Daniels was there, as he has lieen for nearly 30 years and expects to be for,.J0 more years. J. P. Caldwell was there and enjoyed the deliberations and discussions with a marked attention. It was a source of great pleasure to all to see the great improvement in his health since his serious attack of some weeks ago. The pajers and speechen were of a high order. The entertainment by HendersoiivilI was rerfect. Llr Commissioner Shipman, editor of the Ilendersonviile Hustler, with his may or. It. If. Staton, and Maj.
