(The nominal value Of the denarius,
on which these figures are based, was
20 cents, but, through debastment of
coinage during Diocletian's time, it
had a purchasing power of only frac-
ton of cent, which accounts for
these apparently high prices.)
The ediet also fixed the wages OF
agricultural laborers, masons, mortar
mixers, mosaic workers, wall painters,
figure painters, coachmakers, from
smiths, bakers, shipwrights, brickmag-
ers, camel, mule and ass drivers, and
shepherds. The fee of veterinary
surgeon for cutting hoofs and hair OF
an animal was fixed. and so was the
compensation of barber for perform
ing haircut and a shave which was
upward of 50 cents Literary men,

vice to check the high cost o. living.

GIVE US YOUNGER JUSTICES

From all over the country the cry
is going to President Taft to appoint
younger men to the places on the SUI
preme court of the United States. 1t
is pointed out that it takes a man at
least six or seven years to become a
really valuable member of this most
august tribunal, and that if he is in
the evening of life on receiving his
appointment, he will have naturally
reached his three score and ten
years, before he reaches his strong
period on the bench The court is now
composed of men, VINO are at the av-
erage age of seventy six. when the
ordinary man who has spent an act
i've life, should be reaping in quiet
restfulness, the reward that should
come to such life.
While admitting that Taft has not
made a great president, we beg him
to suppress any feeling Of resentment
at our disapproval and harken to the
suggestion that he has the opportun-
ity to leave behind him a supreme
court OF the United States that will
stamp him great man and cover us
with confusion. He has made one
la2pointment to the bench and it has
mot met the fullest anticipations of the
hopeful. He is now called upon to
/ make another, And Justices Fuller
and Harlan are at the extreme of &C
| tive old age. Justice Moody is in
capacitated by illness and ought to
be invited to resign with a pension
l if it can be given him. Now if Mr..
Taft will fill existing and expected
vacancies with strong. upright, vigor-
Gus men, young enough to work hard
men of judicial mould and mind, he
will have done ad duty that may reflect
more honor upon him than anything
that can fall directly upon him as an
executive.
In the natural course of things the
supreme court will pass upon larger
number of vital and fundamental

WORK FOR THE RETAIL MER-
CHANTS ASSOCIATION

Here is a splendid chance Of the Re
tail Merchants and Business Mems AS
ISOLATION and the Board Of Trade to
get busy on the job of bringing to
Brunswick and Glynn coanty a large
number Of intelligent German and
Italian farmers to this splendid sec
ton Of the country.
The plan is outlined in the follow
ing from the New York Mail, which
was sent to The News as matter Of
information and which we deem of
sufficient Importance to submit to the
people of this community.
We just must till the soil in Glynn
county and make it bring forth its
hidden treasures, which are ours, if
we only know how to produce them.
The Mail, one of the leading metrop-
olitan newspapers, conservative and
sound. in referring to the plan of
bringing these farmers to this section
says:
There was cnce a New England
woman who wrote book entitled,
"Reclaiming an Abandoned Farm"
and followed it in a few years with
another entitled, abandoning a Re
claimed Farm. That is the lamenta-
able history of some of the agricul-
tural excursions of city folk. Back
te the farm" is an inspiring motto,
and it seems to voice a national need,
but a good deal depends on what
route you follow back to it.
That is what makes the enterprise
of the American Agricultural associa-
ton so interesting. 1t has route of
its own back to the farm, and the
threshold to the route is at its offices
at q William street, where it would
like immigrants and city men who
think there is the making of good
farmers in them to call and talk
things over.
It's plan is to start agricultural col
onies in some southern state-Virgin-
ginia. perhaps, or Georgia-where men
can work in the fields about ten
months in the year; and to attract
first of all men of peasant blood and
training lately from the farming dis
tricts of Europe, notably Germans,
Slaves and Italians. 1t will build
houses on ten and twenty acre plots
rent them to those whose capital is
so small that they could not purchase
outright; buy and market their prod
uce and divide net profits at the end.
Of the year.
The novel things about this enter
Prise are that it requires small cap
tal, assures a city market for the
producer, ships by the carload in
stead of expensive small lots, par
Tally eliminates the middleman, pro-
7ides an agricultural expert to In
'truct the farmers, and in short offers
many of the possibilities OF Cooper
