Governor Melanin is an advocate, blit be favors it in only the most extreme cases and he does not impress his inter viewer as deeply persuaded as to its effi cacy or its righteousness. Chief Justice Stacy is opposed to it. Associate Justice Connor, like his noble father, Hengy <l. Connor, is against it. Justice William It. Allen has lost his belief in it. Justices Clarkson and Adams bold to it and. Jastiee Varser is not committed. Sentiment against capital punishment; has grown rapidly and the stories in thei papers help. For a while the public may believe in it; it does not like to read that relatives of victims outraged or murder ed were at the prison looking on the death of the criminals and expressing sat isfaction. It is recalled that When the l 6 women were present, the yoinibt wom an assaulted and her mofWMn-it'l were there and that both were highly pleased. It was this story printed in the Paris edition of the New York Herald which made E. 11. Ficklen. of tlic prison board, s<( embarrassed while lie was in gay Paree.

It seemed bad enough to walk down the Champs Elysee and have every little French cuss holler out: "There goes Mr. Ficklen from North Carolina where the weemen attend the electrocu tions.” The effort to put down publicity failed. Even the offering of Miss Alex ander at the late sesssion of tiie general assembly prohibiting the publication of a woman's name in connection with one of these felonies committed against her, was defeated. The public sceins to like tfigt Hurt of reading. Similarly it seems to relish the accounts of executions. But they are not writ ten to please the public. Most of the newspaper fellows are dead against this l business and they frankly seek to make ration.

It does pot execute them for, revenge nor for the ‘satifaction’ of rela tives of the deceased. As soon as it, through its officers, pcrmitN these rela tives to witness the execution, it is it self degrading this' solemn duty to the level of personal spite.” Mr. Nash had ruled so that some of the kinsmen of tlie murdered officers would not be admitted to the Stewart execution, but several others were- present. They Were •'satisfied.'' Tlie assistant attorney general thinks an executive order or a legislative #et can bar the relatives of is execution of the prisoners.

Tornadoes. Youth’s Companion. The tornado that killed so many peo ple and destroyed so jfiuch property in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana last month was a very typical examp’e of a kind of storm that is not uncommon, especially in the sprng., It begins as a rising, whirling current of air over a part of the earth that has ht-n warmed by the heat of the adVanSng sun. As this spiral current of warm air. ot cyclone, moves upward anfi . eastward, according to the l*Ws that govern it, it Ineets the very much cofder jair that is to be fotind at higher altitudes and more' northern latitudes. The pdtrtfcet of the opppsng currents increases me whirling , motion of the growing Storm, which rushes on, now high iri air. now dipping toward the earth, until it has speuf its force by spreading its circular move ment over a very wide areal The tornadoes that dop'so much damage are not tlie real cyclone. They , are the fringes of the storm itself; violent uprushes of air that occur along the edge of the cyclone, and that are Caused by the exceedingly low pressure —relatively speaking, almost a vacuum —that exists at the beant <if the storm ; far above the earth. You have seen the little whirlwinds of dust that some ■ j .times play along the surface'-of a coun try-road on a hot summer’s day. The 1 great destructive tornadoes are the re sult of the same forces, : immensely . magnified brothers of the -little ‘dust P whirl. ~, Their destructive power Is >almost ex • plcsive in character. The core of one ot these tornadoes is so nearly a vacuum that the heavier air within the houses 1 : literally rushes out to fill the space, ] tearing out tiie walls of the buildings i as it does so. No frame house can Htand the onset of such, a whirlwind un- ] damaged, but it Will', have' s better i chance of riding opU the sfiwm if all 1 the windows are thrown opofF' ’ Last . month's st.onm,_ so jfey’ weather i . men tell us. began sonSewJmro ' ovPr j lower California.

Let us i hope it will lie a long time: before a 1 similar tempest drags its rrijtn ot tor- ] nadoes through so thickly settled a I countryside, in so mOrder6us a fashion. Rules For Success With Alfalfa. Success with a’falfa requires: 1. Rich lqnd. well drained. If you ] haven’t rich Jand, make .some rich with | manure, green manure crops plpy-’cd uu- I der, and fertiUccrs. 7 f ] 2. Thorough preparation the land. , Break the lund deep from "oiie to six 1 months before seeding. With disk 4ikl ] drag harrows pulverize the surface just i before seeding. 3. Phosphate. Apply 400 or 500 pounds ] of acid phosphate broadcast just ahead i of the final disking or harrowing. 4. Lime., Unless tlie soil already con tains enough lime more must be applied. The average soil needs two. tons of ground Kmestope or one ton of burned , lime. Apply the lime broadcast before i the final disking. 5. Inoculation. Unless a’falfa has been i grown successfully on the laud the seed ’ roust bo inoculated. Secure soil from a | suoefwsftil aifatfj) fcild. Mix equal quan- i tllics of soil find seed and sow the mix- 1 ture. If inoefiiated soil is not available 1 artificial culture can be secured from tlie t’tilted States Department of Agri culture by Application to the County agent. 6. Spring seeding should be done in March, fall seeding in September. 7. Sow* 20 poufids of seed per acre. S. Use the beet grade of seed that can hq had of tjie variety known as common alfalfa. 9. Sqw alfalfa alone. Do not use a nurse crop. 10. Cover the seed very lightly With light section harrow, weeder, or with a brush. Peach Trees Pay Well.

Kentmlcy and the ( at- _ . oiinas, wiieri' he is known and loved by thousands of people from all walks of life, lends his name to further the cause of HERB JUICE, the medicine that has proved of such great benefit to him and his family. "Before I began to use this medicine,” said Rev. Mr. Greene. “I was just out of shape all over, stomach was so upset I could not eat and uev.er felt like doing a thing. I had sueh a strange numb feeling in .my legs alt the time which I and was told was caused from poor circulation. I was so badly constipated and so nervous that 1 could not sleep at night. Ihave tried a lot of different kinds of medicines for the trouble, but I can honestly say that I never found anything to do me any good until I started using the HERB JUICE, It is simply wonderful the way this medicine has brought back my health. I feel as though I had nev er been sick a day in my life, bowels act regularly, no more poor circulation, my stomach is in perfect.order and I can eat and enjoy three good meals a day. Not only has HERB JUICE helped me bat it bus also restored my wife, and daugh ter to good health; they were also bothered-a great deal with constipation Which hud upset their entire systems. Today they look better than they have far years / and like myself, give, HERB JUICE credit for restoring tlfeir health.
