The Cost of Litigation

We doubt that Vermont is an excep
ton to the general rule regarding the
cost of litigation. OF course every
body has heard of cases dropped be
cause of the cost of fighting. 1t hap
pens not only when the litigant is a
person of moderate means. but also
frequently when a party of ample re-
sources does not think The game is
worth the candle. 1t will continue TO
be a usual practice as long rs Hi
giants have brains and reasoning pow
er sufficient to weigh the possible re-
suits of court decision wi.h the
cost of obtaining it. Perhaps court
costs and counsel fees are on as low
a scale in Vermont as in most States.
1t is our belief that they are.
While 1t is possible that economy
to suitors would result in the Great
ion of municipal courts and enlarging
their Jurisdiction, we think that great
er relief TO the individual at less OK
pense to the State could be brought
about by dignifying proceedings be-
fore justices of the peace. Today a
trial or hearing before a justice OF
the peace is frequently little more
than a beginning Often it is merely
a delay of the beginning. If justices
trials could be made real trials on
the law as well as the facts the de-
csions or verdicts would tend to be-
come fnalities.
While on the subject of courts, we
recall that when the late Maxwell
Evarts represented Windsor IN the
State Legislature he opposed the
creation of The superior judges on the
ground that 1t was unnecessary ant
eXtravagant. Comparing the amount
of work done by the supreme court OF
Vermont with the work OF supreme
courts elsewhere he thought tina. b.
adding one or two extra judges 10
that court the entire work of trials in
several counties and hearing argu-
ments OF appeals could be done by
the supreme court judges.

Georgia is evidently saving her big

anything ever pulled off in Atlanta.
Dr. L. G. Hardman, candidate for

are claiming that he will carry thirty

Native Free Cattle Prices.

1t is true there was probably dit
ference in the quality of the two va
rieties; that is just the point. The
Southern cattle raiser cannot afford TO
raise anything but the best.
1t is almost a disgrace now for
county to be engaged in raising ticks.
What do the people do with them?
You cannot sell them. The tick mar
ket went into bankruptcy when the
dipping vat came into use. You can't
eat ticks. Why on earth do some peo-
pie insist on raising them? A few
people will rave and want to fight if
progressive farmer mentions the
eradication of the tick. Absolutely the
only things the tick is capable of doing
are, sucking the life blood of cattle;
reproducing itself; transmitting Tex
as fever; making cattle thin; main
tanning the quarantine; keeping the
owner poor and prohibiting the de-
velopment of a better industry. There
isn't a single virtue in all its make
up and yet some few folks want to
raise them.
Since 1906 about 225,OOo square
miles of territory has been freed of
ticks and released from quarantine
The great meeting of the Southern Cat
tlemen's association will be held at
Meridian, Miss, August 1913, 1914
This will be the greatest meeting Of
it's kind ever held east of the Missis-
sippi river. Reduced rates on all the
railroads. Cattle sales each day. Mon
ster barbecue. Speakers from every
section of the national. Don't miss the
Mississippi meeting. If you believe
in tick eradication all your friends viii
be there. If you don't believe come
over and get the barnacles brushed off.

DIXIE FARMERS MUST
RAISE MORE TILE

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. S.-(Special)
That there is a great scarcity of cat
tie in the United States is a we'll
known fact. At one market alone
from present indications there will be
shortage in receipts of one million
head during 1914.
Cattle are high and it certainly pays
to raise them. The better they are,
the more money they bring. The
Southern cattleman really should get
out of the rut of raising the canned
beef" variety and raise some healthy,
wholesome beef cattle, that may be
sold on the open market; not the ticky
quarantine market.
Below are a few quotations from
the Daily National Live Stock Re-
porter, National Stock Yards. ILL.,, July
80, 1914. Note the difference be-
tween native free cattle prices and
tick quarantine cattle prices.

IVEY KAYLOR WILL BE GIVEN

On Charge Of killing Negro
Near Americas

Ivey Kaylor, the white man in jail
here upon a murder charge growing
out of the killing of an old negro,
Bryant by name, ten days ago, will
be given preliminary trial Tuesday.
The killing of the old negro occurred
last Sunday morning, he having been
shot to death, it is said, as he sat in
his cabin eating a watermelon. Five
pistol bullets found their way into
the old negros head and body, death
resulting instantly. The particulars
of the homicide may be brought out in
the hearing Tuesday morning.

SENATE MAY PASS
INSURANCE BILL

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 8.-The house
will trasmit to the senate today the
bill passed by the representatives at
yesterdays afternoon session providing
protection for Georgia life insurance
companies against wanton or malic-
ious attacks, and it probably will be
passed by the senate and receive the
governors signature by Monday.
The bill, which met no opposition,
provides that before any person can
institute receivership proceedings
against a life insurance company he
must present his case to a commission
composed Of the governor, the attorney
general and the insurance commits
sioner. This commission, if convinced
that his claim is just and in good
faith, will issue a certificate to that
effect.
Under the constitution the com
plainant cannot be barred from taking
his case before the courts should the
commission decide his case is not
worthy, but the commission is empow-
cred to issue a certificate in favor o;
the company, which would be an eff
fective bar to his success in litigation
And in any event the business of the
company must remain in statu quo
until the suit is concluded.
So many companies in the South
have been harassed by suits of dis
gruntled or malicious parties that
they have suffered serious losses OF
prestige and have been subjected tt
many embarrassments, even though
their cases were won in the courts
The new law will be looked upon with
favor by every Georgia business man
