REFORMS IN COURTS.

The Georgia Bar Association, at
its recent annual convention held at
Tybee, advocated several reforms in
the proceedings of the courts of the
state. The main object in view is
to avoid or prevent so much delay
in bringing cases to a finality, We
agree heartily with the legal fra
ternity in this, and have often held
through these columns that delays
in administering justice, in both civil
and criminal cases, tends largely
to the increase of crime and the
fa ilure of the law to guarantee JUS
tice to all citizens.
When these reforms have been
brought about there are others
which should follow. AS the Ogle-
thorpe Echo says, in discussing the
action of the bar association; we
have too many courts with too varied
and confounding jurisdiction. Inc
number of courts should be cut at
least in half and the jurisdiction cen
tered in the few so that there could
no no confusion on this score. Inc
ooe+ of administering the laws and
iustiee might also thus be cut about
in half. and this should be no incon-
siderable feature in the present day
Of strenuosity to make ends meet II
other matters.
Our legal machinery, as now or
.,a,;zed seems to be largely for thu
purpose Of providing jobs and pro
dncing fees.

Consolation.

Did you read this latest thing
from the great soul of William Jen-
nings Bryan delivered in New York?
Let no man bring to my death
bed for my consolation Darwin
Descent of Man Rather, let my
friend read to me the Twenty-third
Psalm: The Lord is my shepherd,
l shall not want
To ali people who think for them
selves there comes, at some time in
life, this proposition:
Either | am descended from a
soulless, stomachless, brainless,
spineless germ, as science declares,
or | am from God.
The study of the scientific side of
this proposition is fascinating, the
argument full of logic. The end ar
rived at is a blank wall, with no
hope, no consolation. We're simply
soulless hrutes of high degree and
life is but a contemplate joke on
the spermatoza. We go down in
Titanics, and that's the last of us,
so far as our widows, orphans and
loved friends are concerned. Disbe-
lief hopelessness, despair.
buL when d HAL las I6dCuSu ID
ans age he sees that all the happi-
ness possible in this life does not
suffice, with Death and Eternity
knocking at the door; that all the
force of reason, all the deductions
of logic fall short of what thinking
men must have.
Face to face with Forever man
turns from the deep hole which logic
has dug downward and turns his
face upward to catch the blessed sat
isfying rays of faith from on high.
The picture of his child's cold corpse
knocking about with the cadavers in
the Titanic coffin, down there in the
sea, gives place to a picture of
child happy, safe, at peace on the
breast of God the Father.
Let Science gnaw her husks. The
Lord is the shepherd of those we've
loved and lost while" and His rod
and His staff shall comfort us.-Cin-

Cheerful Work ON the Farm.

From Texas Farm and Ranch.
There is no human attribute that
lightens labor and makes drudgery
disappear like cheerfulness. 1t slim
uIates rapid movement, accelerates a
desire for efficiency and fortiffes the
limbs against fatigue, Farm work
should be done under cheerful en-
vfrOnment, because there is much in
it that requires a cheerful worker.
All nature in her cheerful appear
ance smiles upon the Iaborer who
tills the soil; the singing birds; the
blooming flowers; the towering trees
and the babbling brooks-all make
the environment wholesome and give
incentive for contentment. From ear
ly morning till dewy evening the
scene is one of fascination, and ev-
eryone who works on the farm
should be cheerful.
