How II Advances the Schemes Of Loud,
Houtbed Politicians.
Talk is cheap affirIns one Of the
practical proverbs Of the day. We beg
TO differ. Talk is not cheap; it is an
expensive commodity, and too often
commodity of little value. The ability
to express ones thoughts in concise,
ineligible and effective manner, il
valuable accomplishment, but tbs
rhetorical art of making spread
eagle speech with one grain Of sense to
ten Of superficial bombast, can almost
be rated az vice. Many a man
has elevated himself to a re-
sponsible position Of public trust
with no fitness for the proper
discharge Of his duties. But he could
make nice speech. he could shake up
his auditors with some side-spiitting
anecdote, or melt them to tears by re-
citing some pathetic incident No one
stopped to inquire whether in the man
agemeut Of his own affairs he was a
success or failure. Nobody carefully
considered whether the ideas he adj
yanced were sensible or practical. He
could sway an audience and that was
considered a conclusive test Of his
ability. Isn't this fair presentation
Of the manner in which we select men
to administer our public affairs? A
man Of admitted executive ability who
has made a success Of his oFn business.
but has no rhetorical gifts, will stand no
show against the mealy-mouthed candi-
date who mas failed in every thing he
has tried to do. but who can talk
< Talk is cheap, is it? Look over the
records Of Congress and see what it
costs the country to print and publish
the useless talk, talk, talk that binders
useful legislation and serves no better
( purpose than to advance the personal
interests OF ambitious politicians. The
country has to pay for all this talk, at
big round price. too, but the man who
has been sent to Congress has to furnish
his constituents some evidence Of his
great value. aud nothing is more con-
elusive than a song-winaed speech.

THE DEEDS TO RIGHT OF WAY OF tn
G.. G. & N. BEING RECORDED.
The Engineers now Completing Their
Work I'm Elbert COunty...About 45
Miles OF the Road Graded.
Athens Banner IP0tc7tnlull.

RI any OF our citizens entertain the slightest
doubt that the Georgia, Carolina and North.
ern railroad from Monroe, n. c., to Atlanta,
Ga, and passing directly through Athens
being built, all their fears on this subject may
vanish.
Captain H. Beusse who has been securing
the rights OF way In Georgia for the company
yesterday received telegram instructing him
to have every deed he has tnke recorded in
the respective counties through which the
road will pass.
This order certainly means business and
Hoke to get to work as soon as possible.
Wien n railroad goes to the expense OF re-
cording deeds to It's rights Of way there may
be no further fear OF Its being com pleted.
The entire line OF the @. G. and N, has been
located except short distance in Ebert
county, and o corps OF engineers are now at
work finishing up this gap. There may be
few minor changes made In the route between
Athens and Atlanta but tire main course OF
the road has been decided upon.
Tho section Of IS miles on the northern end
of this road las been about completed except
a few gaps to finish up, iron Is alRo being lay
ed, and before many days rolling stock Will
be put on as soon as the winter breaks the
entire line OF this road from Chester, s. G.
to Atlanta will be let out TO contractors and 1t
will not take many months to finish IT.
There will be no subletting Of contracts NJ
lowed and a man will be only given such
work as he can do himself.
The road is paying Off its bills la cash and
promptly 8 claim against the G. &. n. Is as
good as the bank OF England.

Western Railroad case. Messrs d. II. Magill
and w. J. Moore. Of Hodges.
Taken all in all It was perhaps the most sat
isiactory term Of the Court that has been held
here In years, and 1t Is said that more cases
were disposed OF than have been decided at
any session of the Court OF the same length
that has been held since the war.
Tho lawyers NIL seem to bc delighted with
Judge Norton, and he has created n very fl-
Vorable impression on ull who attended the
sessions Of the Court. He IS patient and
courteous, and seems never t. tire Of work.
Court was opened promptly Mt halcpast nine
o'clock, and continued, with an intermission
Of only one hour for dinner, until dark. In
this way great deal OF time was saved. Tax
payers and litigants will appreciate the i'm.
portance Of this when they recollect that the
Court costs ut least two hundred dollars
day, and that saving OF one hour in day
will amount TO nearly q day In u week. This
Bench who are physically MS we'll as mentally
able to discharge the duties of the Office.
The State pnys Judge good salary, and 1t
hns right to demand that he shnll render
old to attend 10 his business he ought to be
stood aside and somebody else put In his
place. The idea Is unfortunately too preva-
lent In this State that when once q man is
elected to the bench he ought TO be kept on IL
as long as he chooses TO stay, even il he has
outlived his usefulness. The consequences IL
that the public services suffers, the burden OF
taxation is increased, and suitors are worne
out with the laws delays. Let US have Wig.
orous, active, young Judges, men with sound
minds In sound bodies.
Judge Norton was very mereiful in impos-
Ing punishment upon those convicted OF
crime In the Court Of General Sessions and
his sentences were In striving contrast with
the seven penalties imposed BY some OF the
Judges for similar offences.
His rulings were eminently fair and impair
tial and showed thorough knowledge Of the
questions involved. II Is said that very few
Of his decisions will be appealed from.
He found the calendars crowded with cases
that have been accommodating for a year,
Court adjourned at one o'clock-all cases
ready for trial having been disposed OF on
Saturday and the Judge LEFT on the afternoon
train for his home in Walhalla.
The next Court for this circuit will be held
at Anderson on Monday, FebruaryH.
