I ill Justice? Not in Georgia An all while jury in Georgia this week acquitted a white farmer accused of slaying a .Negro after two r.f the JURORS testi fied that they would not believe the slain man's widow under oath. If that's justice, thank fiocdness we don't live in Georgia. A member of the attorney general's staff in Atlanta said the procedure of calling upon jurors for testimony on the case in which I hey were sittir;: in judgment was "unusual" hut that it had been done in other trials in Georgia. (Evidently when it was "necessary" pnrf expedient to clear an accused without clutter ing' the case up with too many fails or anything like justice). The murdered man's widow identified the defendant as one of the men weal ing "white tilings" who had waylaid her husband in his ;,i:toinobile and shot him. It takes little imagination to realize thai the very men in the jury box were probably the defendants' cohorts on the nighi the shooting took place. Tuskogce institute, a Negro college which has been known to bend over backwards in order to be lr.ir in its judgment of Negro while relationships, termed the murdered man's death a lynching. All men ccpial before the law? Not in Georgia S.Are the Jaycees Coming or Going? r.eaufort Junior Chamber of Commerce needs a shot in the arm A big oversized hypodermic needle should be filled with members ; ml shot righl into the Inlet inn every second and loiulh Monday nieht of the month, the Jayeee meeting night. A lo;:d of KM) ee. ol interest and ambition in each member might help, too. Al present, only "a chosen few" attend the meetings and il is upon these members thai the task fulls of maintaining an or:':i'iialion which on the roll book numbers close to 30. An ci '.anization. io function effectively, most, first of have a purpose for being, secondly, it must have persons who are actively intercled in seeing thai purpose accomplished, and third, there imisl he effective leadership. ! The lieaiifoil Junior Chamber of Commerce has a purpose ! for existing, even though some claim that the senior chamber' of commerce has usurped the place J.ycees once held. If the maji rilv of the Jaycees believe that their sphere of activity is so sin; II that there no is no room for them now there had better be a re-education program so that the minority, which is trying to carry on, can prove that Beaufort without a Junior Chamber of Commerce would be like Hcaufort without Front street. Most of the members are undoubtedly interested in seeing ne:Hiforl become a larger and better community, but they fail to see how this can be accomplished when meetings fall into the category of "e; t and argue." For this, no one can blame, them, for such meetings, are the vivid manifestation of ''ek of effective leadership and efficient program planning. ' A meeting has been called for 7:30 Monday night at the Scout building on Pollock street. Each and every Jayeee has been or will be requested to atteid so that plan can be mr.de been or will be requested to attend so that plans can he made Actually, "the world is waiting" to see another show similar to the one staged two years ago. Here is the opportunity to raise money for the organization, get the fellows back into the swing of things and perhaps give the Junior Chcniber that shot in the arm.

Since Evans street has been re-surlaced and other street bumps have been removed, fewer back teeth have jarred loose and fewer automobile springs have snapped. A bump where the highway had been dug up near Madix As phalt plant was fixed Wednesday. The sign to keep cars off the new a.sphalt, "Cable Crossing, Do Not Anchor," served its purpose during the day. The barricade, afcer dark without a light, caused no little consternation to motorists. Whether it was knocked out of the way or finally removed, we don't know. Chunks of wood lying all over the highway yester day morning would seem to attest to the former. j Thoughts for an open mind.., ' Every difficulty slurred over will be a ghost to disturb your repose later.

With little exception, the wealth and capital possessed by a given generation are not produced by its own toil but are inherited fruit of dead men's toil, a free gift of the past. We need to learn that not only our material wealth and capital, but our science and art and learning and wisdom, all that goes to constitute" our civilization were produced, not by our own labor, but by the energies of past generations. Capital i's that part of wealth which is devoted to obtaining fur ther wealth.

This bit ol deteience may go far toward building Scottish dreams into realities. L. 1'. Meliendon of Greensboro is being given much of the credit for tne sober tones of the message. However, you must not overlook the handiwork of private Secretary Charles Parker and Scott Brain Truster Capus Waynick. NO LIQUOR VOTE It now seems virtually certain that there will be no Statewide liquor refer endum within the next two years, and probably not during Gov. Kerr Scolt's administration. Some. Ra leigh political "experts" seem to think there is a bare chance of the Legislature's making it possible for the people to vote on the matter if Seott will get down in a free for-all battle with the General As sembly. There is no doubt that Scott wants a referendum, but it now looks as if he and his wishes have been left by the wayside. Discus sion of the technicalities of voting and of majority and minority re ports, etc., can become very bor ing. But just put this down: Mem bers of the Kules Committee in the House last week rigged up the voting process so that it will be next to impossible to get a vote for a liquor referendum through the Legislature.
