The work of Agur yesterday was not
unexpected. 1t is seldom in this
league that an umpire can go three
games without losing his head and
merely shows the class of men, as
rule that have been picked for
the jobs. After the game yesterday
Secretary Sterne walked up to the Of
fetal scorer, who was talking to Agur
about the decision in the sixth inning,
and asked him if President Justice
was in the park The scorer did not
have time TO answer him before Agur
horned his way into the conversation
with the remark, What's the matter
with you? Didn't you get your mon
ey's worth?"
The affair was reported to Mr..
Justice last night after the game and
the president said he would investigate

in ejectment in McDufie Superior Court
against Messrs. Miner, Willingnam and
Farmer, in the effort to regain possession of
my land.
These suits stood for trial at the last term,
but were continued on account Of the delay
OF the Supreme Court in deciding on the de-
murrer hereinbefore mentioned.
My attorneys, Judge j. b. Burnside and
Mr.. Hawse Cloud argued the case in the
Superior Court at the March term.
The Court did not hand down decision
until few weeks ago.

When Mr.. Miller's extraordinary suit
against me came up in McDuffie Superior
Court, before Judge Ben Walker, of the
Toombs Circuit, Miller and his local lawyer
struggled noby to get another six months on
me.
By most dishonorable subterfuge, Miller
endeavored to hoodwink Judge Walker, he
(Mlller) being In Augusta all the time, in
easy reach of Thomson by rail or automobile.
Judge Walker refused to be imposed on; he
ruled the case to a trial, and / demurred it
out of Court
The Supreme Court has simply reversed
Judge Walker on this demurrer
| have not seen the decision of the Court,
and will not criticise it.
In my judgment most men will conclude
that, as Miller was in default on his payments
and did not even aver that he had made me a
tender of payment, he was In no position to
ask the Court to- force me to make him a
deed
The land is mine, or it is not mine.
If it is mine, then he should have rendered
me payment before executing a deed.
If he had rendered me payment and khad
refused to make him deed, his measure of
damages was stated in the bond for titles, and
he should have sued me on it.
If the land is not mine no Court decree can
give Miller good title to it, and his legal
redress is suit for damages on the bond for
title.
In the absence of valuable improvements or
some other circumstance for which money
damages are not adequate, no man can be re-
CURED to deed away his land.
If that is not good law, | have studied it
for quarter of a century in vain.

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. ID. WATSON

EVERYBODY will watch with interest the
dissolution Of the merger Of the Harri-
man lines, the Union and Southern Pacific
roads, to see what effect the decision of the
United States Supreme Court will have on
qnasi-public corporations
AS in the Standard Oil and Tobacco de-
cisions an order was issued directing the
United States Circuit Court to supervise the
dissolution, and see that the orders of the
higher court are carried out.
just how the lower court will make the
merged lines competing lines is not known,
just as it is not known that the lower court
q0aN make them competing lines.
The Standard Oil Company was dissolved
under the direction of similar court as the
one that will direct the dissolution Of the
Union and Southern Pacific Railroads, but
the dissolution in that instance did not re-
store competition by any means.
The Standard Oil magnates are making
more money out of the oil BUSINESS today
than they were making when the court de-
cided the case and the Trust is now operat-
ing under the protection Of the courts de-
cision.
The decision in the Hartman case may
prove benefit to the Hartman lines.
Anyway, Wall street does not view the de-
cision with any alarm, for, while the Harri-
man lines stock dropped few points i'm
mediately after the decision was rendered,
the stock soon regained the loss, and has not
gone down any since.
And that is pretty good sign that the de-
cision will not hurt the Hartman railroads.
Mr. Bryan has taken an option on a suite
Of offices In one of the main office buildings
In Washington, and many leading Demo
Gratis throughout the country are anxious to
know just why Mr.. Bryan needs offices in
Washington?
They figure that if Mr.. Bryan is to be
member Of the Wilson Cabinet, something
desired by many of the enthusiastic Bryan
ites he does not need the Offices for each Of
the departments are equipped with offices for
the head. Uf t.I&a
They figure that he does not need room for
his paper in Washington, for his newspaper
offices are already established in Lincoln.
The only reasonable reason for Mr.. Bryan,
having offices in Washington is that Mr..
bryan expects to be chief adviser to the
Democratic administration.
And it is more than likely that Mr.. Bryan's
advice will not be so much sought as Mr..
Bryan expects.
The present Democratic House has already
sat down on him hard, and President-eect
Wilson has not shown any Siamese twin in
clination Bryanward.
