Terrelrs County Court.

For almost a year, Judge R F
Simmons, has been managing the
County, curt, with consummate abil
ity,and making it a saving factor in
Terrel.'s administration of justice,
in so far as the money question is
concerned. Up to last May he
had disposed of 62 criminal cases,
and Of this number about IS of
them had been transferred from the
Superior Court to his court, in
Guiding the Bozeman CAGE, all of
which cases, but one, have been
disposed of. To all intelligent
public, this is enough to rrove the
efficiency of our county court. The
short session of the recent May
superior court is another evidence
OF the fact. Judge Simmons in
tends hereafter to do away as much
as possible with money sentences,
and to infict upon criminals chain
gang sentences, as such sentences
are more likly to strike terror into
the minds of the criminals, but re-
lieves the friends and relatives of
the vioiators Of the law, from pay
ing fines that they are 70 way re-
sponsible for. He thinks that the
chain gang is the best remedy for
lazy vagahonds, who fill our streets
without visible means of support,
and who auhsist by stealing. In
sentencing the negro, John Clay
ton for theft, Judge Simmons was
particularly severe in his remarks
upon the idle Migrants who are
becoming great pests to the citi,
zens, and said that be intended to
FURNISH them to the extreme when
brought before him.
In this court not a single civil case
has been undisposed Of on the do *
ct OF the mo1thly court, and but
few undisposed of on the docket
of the quarterly court, and Judge
Simmons says that he intends to
keep all civil as well as criminal
business Square up" if he can
get the undivided support of the
Officers and Of the good citizens of
the county.

The Cypress Pond AgrI-
cultural Society.

The meeting Of farmers at Cy-
press Pond on last Sat Irday was an

ton was discussed in all its bear~
ings, and each one determined to
give more attention to stock rails"
ing. at the annual dinner on July
Is next. it was determined to have
an exhibition of agricultural prod
ucts. 1t was the feeling OF all to

Turner For the Senate.

Macon Sunday Times
Henry G. Turner is by odds the
ablest man Georgia has in Congress,
except .ong hea led Senator Joe
Brown. He is III perfect harmony
with the dominant faction in his
state on the tariff question. He is
a man of real dignity, absolute in =
tegrity, and much learning. These
qualifications have attracted much
attention to him of late as a prop
er man to send to the Senate to
succeed SeLator Colquitt. There
is undoubtedly great opposition all
over the state to the Senator's re.
election, and had not the Atlanta
Constitution committed the blunO
der OF saying that he should not be
returned to the Senate because of
his tariff views, there is very little
doubt that he would have had very
little strength. The blunder was
trying to make Senator CoIquitt a
vicarious victim of low tariff. If
he succeeds himself, it will be ais
most entirely due to that one edi-
torial in the Constitution.
But what a great Senator Tur,
ner would make

The hard times experienced by
farmers are not attributable to
shortage of crops, for the cry comes
from all section, whether it he in
the cotton beltor in the grain grow
ing regions. The complaint is the
same. The farmer has to sell the
bulk of what he raises to pay usur>
ious interest on his Indebtedness,
and exorbitant prices on what he
buys. and live on the small REM
nant of his products that he cannot
sell. The usurer and the creditor
gets the first fruits of the soil. The
capitalists, the monopolists and the
bondholders, say the country is
prosperous and growing rich, bit
with the farmer il is hard times.

A Piece OfGOOd News.
Columbus Enquirer>Sun,)

Columbus Enquirer>Sun.)
A company has been chartered
in Atlanta with a capital of $780,
600 to be known as "The Farmers
Mortgage and Security company"
for the purpose OF lending money
in the south at low rate of inter.
est. If this company docs what it
says it will do. it will do a vast
good-a Pcod only limited by the
amount Of its capital.
1t is strange that with interest so
low ii absolutely safe Investments,
it should be 80 high on farm loans.
The prices the government has to
pay tor four per cent bonds shows
that when all elements of ri,k are
eliminated money can be borrowed
in this country for two and half
per cent; and yet farmers, in bor>
rowing from the companies which
have hitherto loaned money in
Georgia, have had to pay about
fifteen per cent per annum. Such
a rate of interest dooms any busiS
ness that has to pay it to speedy
ruin.

What They Say.

The Augusta Chronicle after
speaking incidentally of the lead
ing speeches made in Congress Oh
the Mills bill has this to say of our
Mr.. Turner:
Probably the neatest and most
effective speech for tariff reform
was the excellent effort of Mr.. Tur.
ner, Of Georgia. We have real
nothing on that side ofthe question
in the Coz gressiOnal Record which
exceeded Mr.. Turner clear-cut ar.
gument. 1t was n ore practical than
Mr.. certainly more ac-
curate than Mr.. SCOTS. Mr.. Car
Isle did not bear himself with his
usual spirit and nerve, although
his address reads like the words of
a man who was saturated with his
subject and could lay down a great
argument if he had the strength or
the will to exert himself. Mr.. Ran.
dalls speech seems to suffer from
the same spiritless tenor. He, too,
was in bad physical condition. Like
Carlisle, he is the master of this
theme, but his address was not ag-
gressive or captivating.
To our MIND, Henry G. Turner,
of Georgia, bore off the honors of
that memorable debate"

The Democratic Caucus.
Atlanta Constitution J

Atlanta Constitution J
The fact that large majority of
the democratic members of the
house are in favor of compromising
with the minority in regard to inns
portant features of the Mills bill
ought to be gratifying to every
democrat who is anxious for the
success Of his party. The work OF
the caucus is rapidly disposing of
those terocious, but estimable COM
temporaries at the south who are in
favor Of a proscriptive policy.
Mr.. Randall was not present at
the Saturday evening caucus, for
the reason that he was out of the
city. The free list was shortened,
and the home interests of many
democrats cared tor. An injunc>
ton Of secrecy was imposed, but
the correspondents had no dificul>
ty in discovering that the caucus
was tor the purpose Of modifying
the Mills bill in accordance with
the interests and desires of those
democrats WHO represent doubtful
states in which the protective idea
is not considered heletical.
There was another caucus Mon~
day night at which Mr. Randall
WIS present, aud the work of mod>
lhcation went forward with grati>
tying results. There will be an
other caucus tonight, and the prob
ability is that he ore the work of
modification is over, the tariff bill
will be a compromise between the
measure offered by Mr.. Mills and
that offered by Mr.. Randall.
We congratulate the democratic
party.
