MAN WHO DESTROYS.
The placing a fine of $50 on a
convicted blocKader, giving it to
the man who caused his convic
tion or captured him, has been
repealed by Legislative enact
ment at the special session just
ended by a bill introduced by the
Representative, ex-sheriff Leon
T. Lane, thereby destroying to
a great extent the possibility of
coping with the biockade traffic
in Chatham county.
Some think that the principle
of the law was wrong. That may
be and it may not be. It may
cause some officer or special dep
uty to put forth more zeal than
they otherwise would, but when
it becomes necessary to capture
a criminal, jeopardize your life
and property, it is worth thj
prce. The $50 fine came from
the blockader and there is no
reasonable excuse for abolishing
it. It is said by some that it was
about to break the county, pay
ing these fines. When it became
necessary for the county to pay
it, the amount was worked out
on Chatham county roads, and if
50 to 60 cents a day is not value
received from a convict's time on
the roads, then the Commission
ers should hire him out to some
other county at $1.50 a day and
make a profit on his time, there
by eliminating this excuse.
Deputy Sheriff in his argument
last week looked only on the side
of possibility of corruption in of
fice. The editor views it with ap
prehension as to whether as
many block aders can be ap
prehended now as before. They
must be taken in charge by some
Cleans and the people of Chath
am county are detemined as they
are in other places to get them,
therefore the new law may not
hurt us, so let us hope not.
The blockaders have begun to
get just a little more nerve and
after tanking up on the infernal
stuff will do many things that
are terrible to centemplate.
Deputy Sheriff H. A. Harrington
lost his barn only last week by
Are that can easily be imagined
that it was the work of illicit
liquor makers.
It is imposible for the Record
to describe a man who will wil
fully and deliberaly destroy or
injure property in the night time
any more accurately than has the
Monroe Enquirer when it says
he is a "miserable, worthless
thing, made in the outward shape
of a man, but with the mental
and moral instincts of a hyena;
avile, odious, abomnable, loath
some, villainous, execrable, pusil
lanimous, dad-dinged reptile not
nt to oe mentioned in tne same
year with a respectable skunk.' '
The manner of inflicting a fine
on a blockader is not a safe one
any way, further than to reim
burse the man who takes the
chances of his life to catch him
but it must and will come to pass
when no judge will discharge a
man found guilty of trafficing in
blockade whiskey in any capac
ity, but will send him to the
roads or penitentiary where he
belongs.
This is the way and the only
possible way, to discourage the
bootlegger and break up the mis
erable traffic in blind tiger whis
key that is polluting the country
and making a mockery of our
laws and to proportionate extent
lowering the respect for all laws.
So long as a whiskey dealer can
buy his way to sunlight and lib
ty by the payment of a fine that
represents but a minor portion of
a week's profits, it is useless to
try to stop the flow of liquor
through the State.
Beginning this New Year let
every Christian man and woman
determine to put there shoulder
to the wheel and be among the
class that will lend every assist
ance to the destruction of the
liquor traffic at home.

WHAT DO YOU WEIGH?
A little boy watching the people get on and off
a weighing machine saw each one drop a penny in
the slot and the needle spin round telling each what
he weighed.
The boy saw his chance and jumped on the
scale. He felt in his pocket, but found no renny.
The needle did not move. "I havent a penny and
so I don't weigh anything," said the little boy.
That's the way it goes, all through life. If you
want to weigh anything in the estimation of those
around you, ACCUMULATE SOME MONEY.
