TAFT SEES REMEDY
ADDRESSES VIRGINIA BAR ASSo
CITATION ON NEEDED REFORMS.
POOR LITIGANTS ARE SUFFERERS
Reduction of Cost Bills Urged to Re-
move an Unnecessary
Burden.

Hot Springs, Va.-Before the con-
vention of the Virginia Bar Asso-
citation, Republican Candidate Taft
Thursday delivered an address on
THE Delays of Litigation"
Judge Taft said, in part:
THE chief reason why the state de-
votes so much time and effort in the
administration of justice between in
dividuals in private litigation and be-
tween the state and persons charged
with crime in public litigation, is to
promote the cause of peace and tran
guilty in the community.
Speaking theoretically and alb,
stractedly, of course, our aim is foT
equal and exact justice between indi-
viduals and between the state, repre-
senting all persons in a community,
and an offending individual, just for
the love of justice; but, practically,
the objects sought are peace, tranquil
lily and contentment among the peo-
pie.
"Venality in judges is very rare;
and while the standard of judicial abil.
ity and learning may not be always as
high as we should like to see it, the
provisions for review and for free and
impartial hearing are such as general
Ly to give just final judgments.
Hardships on the Poor.
"The inequality that exists in our
present administration of justice, and
that sooner or later is certain to rise
and trouble US and to call for popular
condemnation and reform, is in the
unequal burden which the delays and
the expense of litigation under our
present system impose upon the poor.
81 know the delays have induced
merchants and commercial men to
avoid courts altogether and to settle
their controversies by arbitration, and
TO this extent the courts have been re-
lieved, but such boards of arbitration
are only possible between those liti-
giants that are members of the same
commercial body and are in a sense
associates.

It is never possible to make q sue.
cessful party issue out Of something
that is not intrinsically partisan in
its nature or bearings. The injunc-
tion question is not fitted to be .
subject OF party contention, and it
does not so lie in mems minds. All
good citizens want court processes to
be fair and just There is no differ
ence between Republicans and De-
mocrats in this regard. Every body
believes that Mr.. Taft, by virtue of
his judicial experience. is rather bet
ter acquainted with this subject in all
it's bearings than Mr.. Bryan. He has
expressed himself very definitely on
the subject in recent speeches. and we
have heard from him again in his let
ter Of acceptance. All OF his public
experience has shown him to be not
only man of fairness and judicial
mind. but also man OF generous
heart and large sympathies. He could
not possibly wish. of course. to be
unfair to workingmen whether
organized in trades unions or other.

cannot bring themselves to the point

giving greater precision and regularity

act in certain matters of court proce.

CANTALOUPF GROWERS
CALLED TOGETHER
Discuss Plans of Market.
ing The Crop,

A movement is on foot for a meet
ing within the next few days of all
canteloupe growers in Southwest
Georgia for the purpose of securing
cooperation in the marketing of this
years crop. 1t is evident that stand
ing and scrupulously observe it, it
will hardly be possible to avoid a
glut in the Northern markets.
The acreage in this section is lar
ger than was realized when the crop
was being planted.
In the Americus territory about $50
acres are planted in canteloupes.
while in the Albany territory hundreds
of acres are planted.
The crop will begin moving be-
tween June 10 and 20 The acreage
is appreciably larger than it was
last year, but the quality of the crop
is not, on the whole, as good as it
has been during the last several sea-
sons. This is due to unfavorable
weather conditions that have prevail
ed for some time.
1T therefore appears to be wise to
ship only the best fruit 1t is hope
that as the result of the co-opereti
which it is hoped to secure, Cl- n
grower will gather and ship OF! me
choicest melons from his field.

G. A R. post at Fitzgerald will
doubtless go there as usual for the
memorial exercises, coming by way
of Oglethorpe and the A. B. and A
Railway, but there will be no negro
demonstrations there as in years
past, wild drunken orgies among the
blacks that brought disgrace upon
those attending of that element. Sat
urday there will be no special trains,
nor will there be any reduced rates
from Americus or other points. The
Americus Light Infantry will go to
Andersonville to support Sheriff E.
L. Bell and his posse, and woe be un-

or flashes a razor The grand jury

BUILDING ACTIVITY
FROM CHEAP MATERIALS

COLUMBUS, GA, May 26-The
Georgia and Alabama Industrial In
deX will say in its regular weekly
issue:
The prediction that was made sew
eral months ago that the spring of
1908 would witness great building ac-
tivity on account of the reduced price
of building material and the abun-
dance of labor is amply verified by
the reports from all sections of
Georgia and Alabama An interesting
feature is the fact that residential
construction work is very prominent
in the list of improvements and the
records show that all kinds of dwell
ings, ranging from elegant residen-
ces that will be really palatial in their
appointments, to neat thoroughly
modern cottages, are being planned
or are already in actual process of
erection. The architects of the two
states are buster than they have
been in a long time, and a sight of
their offices would give a visitor the
impression of boom times rather than
of business depression-a depression,

rapidly, as evidenced by all this con-
