At this season of the year it may be IN
teresting to hear what local physicians say;
namely, that Brattleboro people are so dis
tressingly healthy just at present that
business is very poor And local druggists
bear out the doctors by saying that it has
been long time since they have had so
few prescriptions to fill, These facts are
causes for thanksgiving among most of us.

4 few weeks ago there appeared in The
Reformer brief item to the effect that
Laurence Nlinot one of the trustees OF the
Thompson fund. was anxious to give up his
work connected with the trust. As was
stated at that time Mr. Minot's duties as
trustee have had to do mainly with pro
ducing an income from the funds many in.
yestments, and that he has been successful
in this there is no doubt IT, however, he
is anxious to retire why wouldn't it be a
common sense idea for him to step aside
in favor of some competent Brattleboro
man. The Meddler has always held the
opinion that much Of the controversy that
has arisen in connection with the admins
tration of the Thompson fund would have
been avoided if one of the trustees had
been person familiar with local condi
tons. The job is no sfnecurei and as long
as the fund exists there will be differences
of opinion as to how it should be managed,
hut it does seem as if Brattleboro as chief
beneficiary were entitled 10 representation
on the board Of trustees.

COX, SEWELL'S SLAYER,
To DIE IN ASYLUM
Helpless and Insane, He
Will Not Be Tried For
Killing Physician

The case of William NJ. Cox, OF
Austell, charged with the murder of
DR.. j. r. Sewell, was called in the
Superior court in Atlanta on Thursday
OF last week. Cox was represented by
Clay q Morris, of Marietta.
Cox was in Jail in Atlanta and could
not be brought into court, being en-
tirely helpless Affidavits as to his
condition were presented. DR.. Green
was put on the stand and swore that
Cox was in such physical and mental
state that he would never be able to
appear in court. Affidavits as to the
insanity OF Cox were presented from
DR.. Herbert Reynolds, OF Grady
hospital, DR.. Allen Of Atlanta, and DR..
Garrett, OF Austell.
writ OF lunacy was sworn out and
Cox will be tried before the Ordinary
OF Fulton county on Friday, March
10th. There is no doubt that he will
be adiudged insane and sent to the
Sanitarium at Milledgeville. The
Solicitor General stated that he waived
all questions arising from the fact
that Cox was in jail and the jury will
go there to examine him.

pany announces that, beginning March
LIST, a "Day Letter" service was
lnaugurated. Heretofore "Night
Letters" have been sent, the wires be-
ing then not so busy as in the day
time The latest step in the line
OF progress is the "Day Letter." A
letter is simply long telegram at a
low rate. Fifty words, for instance,
Will be sent to New York for seventy
live cents, with charge of fifteen cents
Tor each additional ten words. At the
old rate such letter would cost 1920.

OUR GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

We congratulate the county commits
sioners on their decision to grade and
top soil the road between Fair Oaks
and the river, part of which has been
already graded. Our approval of this
work is hearty and unqualified. II is
true that other work is needed, but
other work has been done and other
work will be done until Cobb has as
fine roads as any county in the State
We favor the Atlanta road purely
as business proposition for the coun-
ty We are within a stones throw of
the finest market in the South and the
most wonderful city on this continent
Nowhere between the Atlantic and the
Pacific is there city so devoid of nat
ural advantages that is growing like
Atlanta. In ten years she will have a
quarter OF million population. Her
growth and wealth will add value to
real estate for many miles in every
direction. Cobb county adjoins Full
ton and occupies a more elevated sit
uation, so that the suburban and over
flow population will naturally come in
this direction. 1t would be rank stu
pidity not to meet this situation with
a progressive move. DeKalb county is
bending every energy to draw Atlanta
in her direction, and there is hardly
a county in the State that would not
shove Cobb out Of her vantage ground
and take her place if such a thing
were possible.
We have one suggestion to make to
the commissioners, and that is that
they plan for the future and survey
for road as it should exist twenty
five years from now Five thousand
people should live between Fair Oaks
and the ChattahOochee A double row
of homes should line that road for ten
or twelve miles, with countless small
farms and suburban residences further
off to the side 1t should be one un-
broken stretch of town-a piece of At
lanta built in Cobb courtyard the
tax returns will not only pay for the
road many times over, but help to
pave every road in Cobb county.
SO we hope to see the commission
ers provide a right-of-way for a mag
niiicent boulevard, one that will. when
completed at some time in the future
be the equal in appearance of any in
Fulton county and that will help to
make Cobb county land sell like that
out Peachtree, between Atlanta and
Roswell. W.
-Four months work on that road at
this time will be the best investment
that the county can make. 1t is likely
that before long the government will
build the proposed highway along the
line of Sherman's march, and that, Of
course, will help Cobb, as our convicts
could then be used entirely for the
cross-country roads But the oppor-
tunity to turn Atlanta in the direction
of Cobb county is too great and too
urgent for delay

pie. The monument which we shall
erect will be an inspiration to our
