The railroads in Florida, az well as
all over the South, are coming in for
their full share Of complaint and abuse
at the terrible service they are now
giving In freight, passenger and mail
service. Very few are making sched-
ule time daily and the delays in hauling
and handling freights Is causing worlds
Of trouble and loss TO patrons along the
line. The Atlantic Coast Line In Flor
Ida seems TO be the worst yet. A
speedy remedy should be found, and,
now that the kick Is becoming so gen.
eral, some Improvement may be ex-
pected soon. What the people in large
numbers kick for, with justice in 1t,
generally comes TO pass.

Az . late bouF Tuesday AFTERNOON,
Governor BrOWnrd appointed MF. B.,A.
Msginniss COunty Judge Of Leon eOunty,
TO al out the unsxpired term Of the
late much loved and respected Judge
r. A. WHITFIELD, Who died . number Of
days before. B. A. MeGinnias, the new
Judge, h . graduate Of Florida State
College, and % TIE Law Department Of
the University Of Virginia, from both
of which schools Of learning he won
hOnOrs Of which any young man can
well feel proud. AZ the last term Of
the Circuit Court he and his friend and
sehOoImate, Mr.. Francis B. Winthrop,
stood splendid examinations by . most
competent board, and they were both
admitted 10 the bar. That Mr.. Megin-
Miss IL worthy and competent no one
will gain say, and It Is predicted he will
make Leon county an efficient public
oficial, and q Just Judge, and The True
Democrat wishes him well and extends
congratulations.
There were among those who sought
the appointment, Mr.. Howard Gamble,
who was . candidate before the pri-
mari0S about two years ago, and who
received q very few votes less than
Judge Whitfield, and who presented
with his application for the appoint
ment the endorsement Of almost the
solid County Democratic Executive
Committee, all the county officials,
majority Of the bar, and q large and
strong petition Of the citizens Of the
county, safely estimated at IS per cent.
of the whole county.
Mr.. Robert w. Williams, one of Tai
lahassee's brightest, most worthy and
highly thought Of young attorneys, who
has been practicing law before the
courts for several years, also backed
by friends and some influential attor-
neys, who sought the appointment for
him, was among the earliest applicants.
The True Democrat will not assail
the Governor and his advisers for disre-
garding the wishes Of 80 large a per-
centage Of the citizenship. We will
simply say Governor BrOward in his
action in this appointment has carried
out his own and his predecessor plans
and ways Of dealing with Floridians in
regard to making appointments. We
leave the matter thus with the citizens
of Leon to form their own opinions of
him and them in the premises.

BOARD CONSIDERS
 COURTS LETTER
CRIMINAL COURT VILE BE FUR WISHED MORE COMFORTABLE
 oUARTERS-FRA GRANT ED DEWBERRY AND ASSOCIATES

The Jefferson county board of revenue met in regular session yesterday and transacted much business of minor nature. The full membership of the board was in attendance.
 There was general discussion of the open letter from Judge Dan A. Greene relative to the necessity of providing more space and better quarters for the crimi- nal court, and while nothing official was done, 1t was informally decided to take steps to rearrange the offices in the courthouse so the criminal court can have greater space. The board remained of the opinion that no addition to the court house Is needed at the time, as improve ments can be made in the present struc- ture to make it suitable and satisfac- tory
 The board issued an order granting to J. M. Dewberry and his associates the franchise to operate an electric street car line from Birmingham into, along and over the several county public roads, the line to touch Bessemer, Pratt City Wood lawn, Avondale, East Lake. Huffman, Springville and Clay. It is provided that each of those towns must grant the nec- essary franchises for itself, that work of constructing the line shall begin within q year from date and that cars shall be in operation within two years.
 The board received from the viewers a report of the route selected for the Kim berly road, in Precinct Is, leading from Kimberly to point where it will join the road leading from Morris to Warrior. The report was confirmed and the route adopted.
 Other road matters were discussed, but nothing definite was done, owing in sev- eral cases to the unusual width desired by advocates of several of the proposed new roads.

"Monday Morning Talk" Given at the
 High School Yesterday.

Dr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of schools, made an interesting talk to the pupils of the High school yesterday morn- ing. The main idea of the talk was that there are two kinds of people on earth one that try to get all they can out of everyone else and hold 1t within them selves, and the other that try to put all they can of themselves into their fellow men and make themselves felt in the world.''
 Dr. Phillips emphasized the essentials of a good man in the complex civilization of today, and considered "self' as the most important of these, bringing out the idea that ''to thine ownself be true and 1t must follow as the night the day thou canst not then be false to any man."
 The talk yesterday was one of the regu- lar Monday morning addresses to be con- tinued during the remainder of the pres ent term. Prominent citizens will be ask ed to address the school on various topics The hour has been changed to lo.2o o'clock in order to be more convenient for the public.

FRANCHISES WILL NET
 THE CITY A GOOD SUM


 Birmingham is now receiving consider able revenue from the franchises granted railroads.
 The Southern railway has paid s1O,00O to the city recently for the privilege of converting Twenty-seventh street from Second avenue to Tenth avenue to rail road uses. This street was never used for any other purposes and the city at the last meeting of the council, merely confirmed the right of way of the Southern.
 The Illinois Central has paid the city $1SOOO for the use of thirteen blocks of the city strets and alleys for it's tracks A majority of the blocks are in the neigh borhood of Twelfth street and Second avenue and other streets and avenues near the same place. The streets and ave- nues are used by the Illinois Central in securing entrance to its property between First and Second avenue on Thirteenth,
