Tightening of Social Lines Needed
*
Williamson and Martin County suffered another
shock Saturday morning when the news,spread that
a Williamston man had left a wife and four children
and take a woman from the Jamesville section, leav
ing her husband and three children. The first thing
one does when he hears.such a report, of course, is
to sigh, then'the fteling of sorrow; next that feeling
of righteous indignation that such a case demands.
It is only one more demonstration of the trouble
when one woman's husband begins to hang around
another man's wife, which seems to have been the con
dition in this case. v •
A tighter social line will help correct cases of this
kind. There has been too much lagging along this
line. If this man and woman had been given the
cold shoulder at the beginning of their illicit love af
fair, then the more disgraceful act would most like
ly have been prevented

One Guilty—Many Responsible
All of Henry Jolley's blood is not on the hands of
Frank QOK, who, according to the verdict of a cor
oner's jury, secreted hims»lf in the dark and shut him
dead from ambush at his home on Sunday night The
only motive was vengeance, liecause Cox thought Jul
ley had reported his still, which officers had i.aptured
two weeks before.
The men who were in league with him and who had
the same hatred for the law that Cox possessed gave
him nerve and encouragement and fostered the hor
rible spirit of murder in the heart of Cox. They form
a part of the murder; not guilty of murder under the
law. to be sure, yet guillyof promoting crime.

sponsibility for the crime are those "good fellows"
who have patronized Cox in his lawless liquor deal
ings They are responsible for the growth of his busi
ness. They have helped to build a business that
caused a man to commit murder to protect.
Every, man who has participated as a customer of
Cox's liquor business would do "well to give heed to
tbeir folly and remember that if they had not patron
ized Cox's illegal business he would havp had no busi
ness; he would have had no still to report; he would
not have been mad with Henry Jolley; and would
not have wilfully and feloniously murdered him.
Cox planted the evil seed. Those neighbors who
cloaked and encouraged him fertilized it; and the
friend who bought cultivated the evil tree, which grew
into murder. One man guilty under our law; many
responsible in the eyes of God.
Staff Board Deserves Thanks
For a number of years the State Board of Health
has held clinics in the counties of the State, operating
on thousands of school children, correcting troubles
caused by diseased tonsils, adenoids, ears, eyes, etc.
They purjiosely *eek those least able to have their
children treated by private s|>ecialists. This week
one hundred children will be treated in this county
by specialists and competent nurses.
While there are more than 300 cases asking for
treatment, the State will serve those who are unable
to pay anything first. Those who are regarded as
being able to pay the nominal sum of $12.50 will
come second; and in cases where the parents are able
to pay the cost of private or hospital service, they
will come' third.
This is the kind of service that stabilizes a state
and commends its government to the respect of the
world. Let our State Board of Health receive the
thanks due it for the work it is doing for the boys and
girls, because they will make better citizens.
The ot Poverty
America is suffering from an overdose of wealth
received during the, World War. The war dose was
, just too mud. for £ and the balance of the World.
We s|H-nt more money for one war than all the wars
of the world have-cost since Adam and Eve left the
garden of Men. This gorgeous expenditure was more
than we could stand Millions had money who
no sane idea what to do with it.
Now. the money has gone from the hands of the
many into the pickets of the few, leaving the people
in a 'dazed, drowsy, doped. condition, staggering a
round hoping for the same flood of money we had
10 years ago..
No hing would l»e more harmful than another flood
of money like we had then. What this country really
needs is enough poverty to keep it pure. Our poh
tkML our business, and our morals are always better
m inotU iately hard times than when wealth is tiowmg
in gorgeous streams.
The human soul loses its sense of symi>athy and .
love and meny when it is drowned * floods of
W 7t"is generally the rich nations that are destroyed
and th' rich proud souls that are lost.
Poverty is not what we want, but poverty in mod
eration is a good thing fur us.
