CURRENT COMMENT.

1t is interesting, and may be instruc-
tive to note the comments of the North
ern Republican and Independent news
papers on the appointment of ex-Gov
Jones of Alabama to a Federal judge
ship by the President. The Philadel-
phia Press (Rep.) Postmaster General
Smiths paper says: IF President
Roosevelt continues to make appoint
ments in the South as fit as that of ex-
Gov. Jones he will undoubtedly accom-
plish his purpose of making every
Southerner respect the Republican
party Whether or not the Republi-
can party in the South is strengthened
by these appointments is a secondary
matter. The real end to be achieved
istthe efficiency of the service and the
additional respect to be gained for the
government by having it everywhere
represented by men of ability and high
character"
The New York Mail and Express
(Rep) says: Where the policy of go
ing outside the party is exercised with
discretion, the administration will not
be a loser by it. 1t is enough to say
that thus far it has been discreetly
exercised. Mr.. Jones represents those
Southern impulses that are affiliated
with the Republicans in sympathy, If
not by the ballot"
The New York Evening Post Qnd }
says: Mr. Roosevelt accompanied the
announcement of ex-Gov. Jones Sc
lection with the explanation that he
proposes to make such appointments
as will make every Southerner respect
the Republican party" IL is a hard
rule which he proposes to follow, in
making fitness rather than PARTISAN
ship the test, but he has adopted the
right policy, and he will receive the
hearty support of the nation in carry
ing IL out"
The Philadelphia Ledger Ond.) says:
Certainly the courage of the President
will be generally recognized IN his re-
cent appointment. and still more clear
~ in his frank declaration to Repre-
sentative Thompson. His courage is
the more lustrous when II is recalled

ANOTHER CITY COURT.

It is a safe assertion that the tax
payers of this city agrees with Mayor
Myers that there is no good reason
why there should be another city
court here. Indeed, those who are be-
hind the movement for another court
seem to be so satisfied of its unpop-
ularity that they have had very little
TO say in its behalf. II is doubtful If
the public knows who they are.
Is 1t to be understood that the courts
we now have are so crowded with
business that they cannot attend to it
properly? We have not heard that this
is the case. 1t has not been so very
long since Chatham county was made
a separate circuit, thus relieving our
Superior Court judge Of large amount
of work outside of this county Sure
~, the Superior Court and the City
Court can handle all the court bust
ness of the county, both civil and Grim
inai, promptly. The population of the
county has increased in recent years,
but it is doubtful if lawyers will say
that there has been such a great in
crease in business that the two courts
we now have are not sufficient to sat
isfy the demands of litigants and to
give those accused of crime prompt
attention.
But If it is admitted that two courts
are sufficient why this movement for
another court? There must be some
reason given for it before the Legis-
lature will regard with favor a bill
creating another court. The reason,
whatever it is should be given to
those who have to stand the expense
of the courts.
And there have been some state
ments in the public prints recently
that the court expenses are increasing,
the intimation being that there was
need for a little more economy. We
are not prepared to say how much
foundation there was for these state>
ments, but it is a fact that the coun-
ty tax rate was raised this year and
that the city tax rate is now, and has
been for several years, so high that it
is a question whether it does not Sc
riously interfere with the city's pros
perity.
Unless we are very much mistaken
the people agree with the Mayor in
respect to this movement for another
City Court. They are against it.

A CAssAVA CONVENTION.

Brunswick is very much interested
in Cassava. She is going to have
Cassava convention on Oct. o. She
had a sugar cane and Cassava conven-
ton last April. and a very successful
one 1t was.
The Morning News has published
great many articles showing there is
money in Cassava, and that the soil
and climate of this section of the South
are well adapted to it's cultivation. 1t
has always been a matter of wonder
to those who know it's merits that
South Georgia farmers have not given
more attention to it.
1t is becoming an important sop in
Florida. The acreage devoted to its
cultivation in that state is being stead
lily increased. The reason is that it is
found to pay better than most other
crops which do we'll there. 1t is GER
tainly far more profitable than cot
ton.
Cassava is an excellent food for cat
tie and it is profitable for making
starch. If South Georgia farmers were
TO devote to it half of the acreage they
now devote to cotton, and use it TO
fatten cattle, they would soon find a
great Improvement in their financial
condition. There is always a market
at fair prices for fat cattle. Besides
the droppings from the cattle make the
best kind of a fertilizer. With cattle
therefore a farmer could soon bring
his land to such a condition of produc-
tiveness that he would get as much cot
ton from one acre as he now gets from
two and, that too, without using a
commercial fertilizer.
Brunswick cannot have too many
Cassava conventions. They will have
the effect of making Georgia farmers
see that cotton is not the only crop to
which their farms are adapted that
promises prosperity. They will help
them to find ways of getting better re-
turns from their lands than they get
from cotton.
