But our contemporary fails to give consid eration to the fact that in New York, (as in its own State, where the pro portion of murders to popuhtion is even higher), the theory of ‘A life for life” is so seldom reduced to prac tice that no test is furnished of its efficacy. To give support to their contention those who clamor that the gallows and electric chair he done away wiih, should compare conditions in Tennessee or Alabama with those in some com munity in which the penally of death is systsmatically meted out to the class of criminals against whom the law provides it.

The Gotten Field and ^‘The Game’’ (From The Monroe Enquirer.) If you had taken a ten-mile dri\ e yesterday in any section of Union County you would have seen a num- bir of white women and white girls at work in the cotton fields. The rains have made the grass grow wonderfully fast in the cotton fields and the good women--helpmatea that they always are—wore lending a helping hand in killing the grass. And if you had gone out from Monroe on the Wadesboro road that same day you would have seen a long line of strong, robust nig gers going out to the baseball grounds to play ball and to see the game. We thought of those good, working white women when we saw that aggrega tion of uniformed, masked and mit- tened ball players and the line going out in good turnouts to see the game and then—well, you who know us know just as well as you know any thing that we are not going to put on paper what we thought and you can read cussin' all between these Ines.
