A Wish.
Blame once attached to men who
spoke
So frequently and at such length.
For verbiage is too oft the cloak
OF weakness rather than Of
strength.
But since the noise of battle shook
The sphere we tenant, through and
through,
And sorrows rose where'er we'd look.
Apologies are surely due.
Oh, gentle filibustering sprite,
No more your dullness you rehearse.
We once regarded you with fright,
We not confess things might be
worse.
So. patriot men of north and south,
While chasing Spain and watching
France,
Make haste to close the cannon's
mouth
Aud give the orators chance,

Sets Other Judges an EXAMPLE,
from the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
IT there were many such judges in the
south as Judge Sheffield, who has lust
concluded special term of court at
Colquitt, Miller county, in this state,
there would be fewer lynchings. He
has done the people of Miller county,
and of southwest Georgian fact. of
the whole state-the greatest kind of
service. He has made it known that. at
least in his judicial circuit, criminals
Will be swiftly punished. Let the impress
sion ge: into the minds of the people all
over the state that judges intend that the
laws are to be promptly enforced-thac
criminals are to be tried as soon an nos
sible after they are arrested-and there
will be very noticeable decline in the
number of crimes committed.
The people of the state owe Judpe
Sheffield debt of gratitude. He has
set an example which will be followed
by other judges. In future we NAV ex-
pect fewer delays in the administration
OF justice. Persons charged with crime
will be brought to trial more promntly
and the people will regain confidence in
the courts and will cease to resort to
lynchings 70 satisfy their desires for
justice, and criminally inclined persons
will be more careful not TO oversten the
bounds of the law.

1t is a daily and hourly marvel that men

Hard Hit.

The state of Georgia has been hard
hit by the vicistudes of the elements
during the past few months. On the
last day of August of last year a great
West India hurricane swept oyer the
lower part of the state and wiped out
the rice crop, besides doing great dam
age to the timber and other interests.
And in February came the freeze, wip>

peaches. 1t is impossible, of course, to
tell what the sum total Of losses is, but
the amount is large. Still, Georgia is a

pluck and perseverance, and in a short
