Judge Robert Pottle, of the Court of
Appeals, in handing down an opinion
recently, paid the following handsome
tribute to Judge "Snacks" Patterson,
the venerable jurist who succeeded
Judge Newt" Morris on the bench
of the Blue Ridge Circuit:
THE motion for a new trial con-
tains several assignments of error
upon extracts from the charge of the
court. We have carefully read the en-
tire charge, and, taken together, 1t is
as fair as a charge to a defendant on
trial for crime as we have ever ex-
amined Nowhere in II is there the
slightest suggestion that the trial
judge leaned toward the State; but
on the contrary, the charge is that
of an upright, impartial magistrate
seeking to hold the scales of justice
between the State and the accused
evenly balanced, in conformity with
the rules of law, applicable to the
case, and contains abundant proof
that the trial Judge was honestly
seeking to aid the jury in arriving at
the truth of the case"

that Colonel A. n. Sloan, of Gaines
vile. viii be a candidate for Solicitor
General of the Northeastern Circuit

ent solicitor, T. G. Mcmillan, OF Toe

The fact that the State Of Tonnes
see recently has experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in refunding some of
its matured bonds in no wise discon-
certs either Governor elect Slaton or
the average member of the Legisla-
ture. Notwithstanding the further fact
that the incoming General Assembly
will have to provide for the refunding
next year of something more than
SO. O000 600 of Georgia bonds.
No other State in the entire South,
perhaps, enjoys the fine credit abroad
that Georgia does.
Its Constitution prohibits the in
crease of the States bonded debt, for
any purpose whatever, and every dol
lar of the States property, including
the Governors Mansion and the
Western and Atlantic Railroad is
pledged to the payment of the bonds
now outstanding.
Georgia has tangible property worth
sufficient to pay its bonded debts ten
times over The States bonds out
standing total a little over 5000, 600.
Governor Slaton, who recently spent
some time in the East, says Georgia
will have no difficulty whatever in
refunding her bonds soon to fall due,
at a satisfactory price and a low rate
of interest
Whether the bonds will be refund
ed in the East, the Governor elect, of
course, does not say, but he expresses
the hope that they may be taken up
here in Georgia.

STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE OLD
 NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. Aug. 20.-The years of determined effort on the part of the health authorities. several charitable organizations and a number of local philanthropists, to improve the hygien- ic conditions surrounding infant life in this city are beginning to bear fruit During the last few years the mortality among infants in Greater New York has shown a fairly steady decline, even during the most unfavorable weather conditions of the summer and the inn prOVcment seems to continue. Accord ing to the report just published by the health department, New York was the only large city in the country to show a decrease in the average death rate for infants in the first six months of 1913
 For many years, longer, in fact than any resident of the city can remember, certain of the poor sections of New York have been infested and made un- safe by the presence of organized gangs of men, interruptions, brutal, coWardly and steeped into every vice, capable of any crime. In the hands of Tammany these gangs were valuable tools and weapons against their pOliti- cal opponents and, in consideration for 
 tions the members. of these gangs en- jOyed practical immunity from police interference and other privileges.
 The brutal killing of Rosenthal by members of one of the lower East Side gangs and number of other murders comitted since then, brought matters to a climax and the decent and law abiding citizens made a powerful de- mand for the expression and eXtermin- ation of these gangs Notwithstand- ing the disgracefuI exposures of police corruption which resulted from the Ro- senthal murder investigations, the police were either pOwerless or unwilling to make determined war against the gangsters. and the citizens finally reached the conclusion that, if they wished the gangs driven out, they would have to do the driving out them selves The other day the citizens of the lower East Side held a mass meet ing in which the situation was thor
