To the Editor of The Georgian: I i end with much Interest la your Issue of yesterday your editorial with regard to (he proposed court of ap- l>enls, a bill creating stteh a court bavins recently passed the house In the Georgia legislature. A few questions anent the said court, I trust, you will not con.ldsr Impertinent. If the bill crating such n court should become a ln«. and should the said court of appeals become nn entity, would the existence of such a,court diminish In any great degree the present congested condition of the slate supreme court? * And. after the establishment of auch a court of appeals, would a litigant, upon whose case an adverse Judgment had been rendered by the said court, be de barred from appealing to.an'y higher court?' If not. would not all such cases as are now being carried up front the superior courts, and from other courts of the state, to the supremo court, be also taken up from the court of appeals to the supreme court? And, sboHld this custom prevail and every litigant should pursue this course—taking his enttse to the court of Until adjudication by way of or through the propoaed court of appeal*—In what degree would the supreme court be relieved of lls present burden? Again, this being the case, would not the projtoaed court of appeals be only another and nn additional chan nel through which a litigant would hare to carry hla case In order to reach the supreme court? And. should thla prove to be the rule, would not the creation of the proposed court of appeals simply add, to the already burdensome expenses of litigation; and,' at the snmo time—In order to aupport such a now court— create a demand for additional and n higher rate of taxation and thus Increase the tax burden which Is already bending the barks of the great majority of Geor gia's yeomanry and which la now wellhlgh Intolerable to the nvorage honest tax payer? These, Mr. Editor,.aro questions which our law mak ing body should consider well before they past upon or upon any other propoaed legislation that tends In any way to debar the poor man from any privilege legal or otherwlae. which the corporations and the rich man, on account of financial ability, enjoy; or Which seeks to relieve a body of state officials whose dally work amounts to something leas than .10 iter rent of that of the average citizen whose taxes art required to pay the salaries of the said officials. Respectfully. I A. C. DAVIDSON. Sharon, Ga., August 1, 190G. Briefly stated, the court of appeals Is not an Inter mediate court, but a court of final resort In all cases within Its Jurisdiction. Thla Jurisdiction extends to all courts below the rank of the superior court, except tho court of ordinary, and to all criminal cases which do not Involve capital, punishment. Cnnntltnllon.il questions wherever arising, however, will still be Interpreted by II'C sit|itcm,. court. We have on former occasions directed public alten tlon to the congested condition of the dockets of the supreme court and tbe well nigh Impossible task which the judges or that conrt are called upon lo perform. The overwhelming majority vote In the general as sembly upon the constitutional amendment for the establishment of a court of appeals Ig a moat expressive legislative recognition of the necessity of that court. It Is generally stated that tbe court of appeals is designed for the relief of the supreme court; in a' larger sense It Is a court to be established In the Interest of the pcoplo and to prevent a denial of Justice to lltlgnnts. No one familiar with the methods of work of our supremo court Judges will deny that tboy work during lunger hoilr* than the average business man. A brief consideration of tho character and number of the cases before the supremo court since last October will suffice to omphnslte the Imperative necessity of the court of appcnls. During this period there were brought to that court 1,156 cases. Tho records of these cases will easlly nvernge Iwenty-flvo pages. Several very large records hare been considered during.the present term by the court, one of which contains approximately 900 pages. The records are typewritten on legal cap paper and each record page la the equivalent of an ordinary octnvo printed page. Tbits tho records which must be read, digested and condensed for publication of the necessary facts to Illustrate tho derided points of the caae, are tho equivalent of fifty-seven ordinary octavo volumes. This of Itself Is a great task, but It la not half or the work. Griefs of the law points Involved must be read; the authorities must be looked up; precedent* must be examined, analysed and applied to tbe particular case;, the record of each case must be studtod so as to ascer tain the controlling legal principles; much time must necessarily be taken In argument of counsel and con- anltntlon by the court and the opinions of the conrt re quire much time for Ihelr careful and accurate prepara tion. Tbe published reports contain three thousand printed images each year. - Of course this Immense labor Is a great burden on the Individual Judges; Indeed, so great bis been this burden that within tbe past four year* two of the Judges have died In office; two more resigned because of broken hotdtn. only to die In a few months after their resigna tion*. and three others wore forced to resign because of their health. Tho task of the tread mill never was so fruitful of fatality. Thla great commonwealth should not and will not demand tbe performance of official duty which Involves . the sacrifice of the health and Uvea of hsr conscientious and Indostrlous appellate Judges. But this view, while philanthropic. Is but a narrow view of tho subject. When It Is remembered that every Iltlgnnt, however poor, may appeal hla case to the supreme court, the litigant's right Is to be considered. When It Is remembered that the decisions of this court are expository of the law and binding precedent, then the general public la vitally concerned. The safety and permanency of onr Institutions depend upon the stable and Arm enforcement of the Isw. A construction of a deed may affact thousands which are similarly drafted; an erroneous construction might unsettle thousands of titles. The law Is a most complex science; Us mastery la the work of many years of ceaseless and unremitting study- The application of abstract legal principles to the particular case it s task of delicacy, acute discrim ination and great labor. Unless the Judges are given ample time, there nfust necessarily be hasty and Ul-con- ! whirh litigants must'pas* through before reaching the i final result. In its Jurisdiction it U final and exclusive, lit Is only In cases where the constitutional question Is raised or where the judges of that court, of their own motion, desire nn Instruction aa to the law, that the I supreme court will be called on to consider a case In (that court. It 1* virtually a second supremo court, an coordinated with the supreme court as to avoid conflict In authority. The procedure Is more speedy than In the supreme court. It will not prolong litigation, but will shorten It. It will lake about 40 per cent of the cases from the supreme court, and even then the su preme court of Georgia will be called on to decide more than any other court of Inst resort In the United States.! The people, it Informed of the true conditions, will uiian-! ImoasJjr ratify the amendment to the constitution estab lishing a court of appeals. New Life for the Cotton Association. To the* Editor of The Georglnn: Am much Interested tn that which ts Rolng on relatlrq tn the Southern Cotton Growers* Asso ciation nnd Its working officers. The Georgian has spoken of the association. In Its editorial columns, as a most important organization, etc. Mr. Murphy haB demonstrated that by following tho advice cf the president of the association the farmers In Georgia were losing 5500,000 In a single season. .Now, then, will you ho kind enough to tell your many and Interested readers the benefit the farmer derives from thla association. I am quite sure your reason*, deductions and arguments will furnish Instructive rending. Yours truly, HENRY S. HEED. Having fought and won a good fight for the cotton growers of Georgia In the affairs of their splendid asso ciation, Tbe Georgian has no higher purpose or design than to help them and to hold up their hands In every future effort fqr the advancement of the great Interests which they represent. And we say frankly to the farmers of Georgia that there la no room for discouragement, but rather cause for greater encouragement and Inspiration In the whole some Investigation Juki held Into the affairs of the asso ciation, and moat of all In 1U definite and fearless re sults. , The farmers may be sure that, with the lesson of thla Investigation fresh In the mind* of the official life of the association, their affairs will be administered with greater care and with greater discretion and with greater conaocratlon than has ever been given them before. Aijd whether the present officers hold their places, or whether tho association should at Ita next meeting choose new men to carry op the work, we fee) aure that President Jordan will devote himself with redoubled vigilance to the affair* of the cotton growers. Wfe.are thoroughly confident that he has learned some valuable lessons and that his experience and Judgment have beep heightened and enhanced by the events of the last few weeks. There are fejr men taken fresh from the ranks who can assupie and execute leadership without mis takes In a short time. And In answer to our correspond ent whose letter appears above, we do not hesitate to say that the cotton' growers' association may now go forward with renewed and resolute confidence in the work of its executive committee, acting In cooperation with Its executive head. If tne farmers of Georgia will study the current situation, gin and bale their cotton In accordance with the £est requirements of the spinners of the country; If they will bear In mind that cotton la as marketable In April as In Novenibor and not rush all their crAp to market within ninety dpy*; If they will In their local -associations discuss exhaustively the policies that bn or ought to be In the general associa tion, and It they will make known their views without reserve to th* general association, then wo feel conn dent that with a united front and a resolute adherence to all policies adopted by the general association, that tbe price of cotton will be maintained and advanced as It has been In the pnst and that their prosperity will be aa well assured. Whatever the necessities of the ctae ifiay have com pelled within the last few weeks, they have neither hurt nor crippled tke Cotton Growers' Association, The great and Indispensable principles of organization and co operation stand untouched. The fget that a fearless exposure has been met with a free and fearless official condemnation Is a tribute to the character and caliber of th* men who compose the association. It Is a fact full of comfort and of confidence. There are thousands of honest and Intelligent men In the ranks of the Bonthern farmer, and with tbe eye and the ear of these men, quickened to vigilance and to corporation, we confidently believe that the Cot ton Growers' Association hns now entered upon the atrongeit, the safest and the moat effective period In Its honorable career. We urge upon the Southern fpriner nnd cotton grower tbe largest confidence In the future ot the association. We urge upon them the rigid per fection of their organization. And we confidently ndvlae them to lend their full and unbroken co-operation to the wlldes which aro agreed upon or are to be agreed upon n the Immediate future. The Imperial staple Is yet the king of commerce. Its fiber Is still current nmong the finance* of the world, nnd the mere discipline administered to officers who have made a mistake should bring, not dlicnuragement. but Inspiration to the great rank of organized cotton growers throughout tbe country. “Our Friend at Washington.” More than once during tbe past three months The Georgian has been moved to an expression of apprecia tion for the kindly and helpful spirit manifested toward the Bouth by that great newspaper, the Washington Pott. ' Tblmwns notably made maulfest In the discussion ot the Immigration question in which the Post rendered us tbe service not only of good counsel, but of strong de fense. The Georgian made comment and expressed Its sectional appreciation at the time. And now once more the Post has demonstrated its good will toward this section In Its answer to a mean New England' thrust. The Kennebec Journal, one of the leading newspa pers of Maine, once edited by James O. Blaine, and al ways under the editorial conduct of some-leading man In public life, I* now directed by Representative Edwin C. Burleigh, of Augusta. A recent Issue ot th* Journal contained the following unfair and mean-epirlted edi torial: "The new South has been a fruitful theme for writers and speaker* during the past generation, and yet every little while there ha* been abun dant and unwelcome evidence that the old 8outh ha* by no mean* paiaed away. The South need* more capital, more labor, more enterprise, less demagoguery, less rate prejudice, and tram polit ical stupidity; but In spite of Its handicap* It ha* shared to no small degree In the bountiful pros perity which the whole country has been enjoy ing In recent yesra." oplnlona. This means contradiction tn prece- And l0 this the Post, with real and generous warmth, dent which will result In confusion and consequent hurt responds: to the general public. | Thank God, the. old South' has not passed Tbe court of appeals Is not an intermediate' court i fevay; that while she has, ‘in recent years,’ accumulating wealth, there has been no decad ence of her manhood; that her Democratic rep resentation in congress. in hofh senate and house, haa, in a large degree, been distinguished by the brat of the old-time American character istics; that among the scores of ex-Confed^rate Ufa teamen and soldiers, men who gervejl In the Confederate congress and in the army of tbe Confederacy, the grafter has been conspicuous by reason of his absence. The senate of the Fifty-ninth congress furnishes many illustrations of what the old South’ was nnd the new South la. Compare tho venerable ex-Confpderates Morgan and Pottos, of Alabama, with tho ^presentation In that liody of the Empire State, and you will not need to go further in the investigation. “’Political stupidity,’ ns the term is employed by the Journal, menus Democratic solidity. If that solidity be a misfortune. It Is easily account ed for. The history of reconstruct lor. :s its nll- sufflclcnt explanation. The same kind of ‘polit ical stupidity* would, under like conditions, pre vail nil over"the North. The new South is too wise nnd patriotic to cut loose from the tradi tions. habits, and surviving representatives of the ‘old South.’ May it be long before ImmUra- ■ tfon or greed, or both combined, or any other cause or causes, efface the Americanism of tho only section In which it survives.” It Is of Immense value to the South that at our na tional capital there should be a great independent and national newspaper, with sentiments so kindly and spirit so broad toward this people. If our national sentiment is molded In large part at our national capital, then indeed the South has great reason tn be glad that tbe representative newspaper of Washington Is a brave and brilliant friend of the South ern people. All of which Justifies The Georgian in saying In typo what It has long felt in Its mind, that if, for general interest and for general merit, it had to choose ouo paper among nil other American dallies. It would at least begin tho experiment with tbe Washington Post- The State’s Last Bulwark. Against Railroad Agression. The Georgian Is heartily and earnestly npporad to the long lease of the state road contemplated liy tho bill which wns passed by the senate last week It Is Just ns effective to say this kindly nnd to say It reasonably. There ts no use In going Into hysterica over It—because It has been said before, nnd because there was no treason toward the state nor toward Its citizens contemplated by Its author nnd advocate. The bill Is unquestionably a mistake, but Its author Is beyond all question one of the cleanest and purest men In tho public service of Georgia, and neither bis motives nor Ills methods can be questioned In this measure. The disposition of tbe state road Is a great problem and one which demands not only the greatest discretion but the most deliberate Investigation. Mr. Piromls H. Bell nnd the Honorable Hooper Alexander, of the county of DeKalb, have been the pio neers of the proposition that tho natural solution of the problem of the state road was to extend It from Atlanta to tho sea and thus provide a safe and wholesome com petition for the state against the aggression of the rail roads in tbelr pools and combinations. The editor of The Georgian wo* perhaps tbe first dally newspaper man of the stste to fully and cordially Indorse this proposition as he did two yearq, ago. The Georgia a Is confident that ultimately this should he and probably will be the solution of this great ques tion. It is certainly the prudent, the wise and the com mon sense policy for a people situated as are the people of Georgia today. The only objection which has seemed to be effective to this policy of extension has been the Idea that In our Chattanooga or northern terminus the extended state road would find it difficult, antld the pools and combina tions of our railroad systems gathering yiere, to find an outlet or a connecting line—If the railroads should decide to un.tedly oppose the state's Independent prop erty. This la an argument which seems to be effective but which is really not so. The age In which we live Is a developing one, and the. necessities which force the state of Georgia *to preserve this Independent line will ultimately Inspire Tennessee and Kentucky to co-operate In the development by way of the Tennessee river and Its connections with water connection to the great com mercial channel of the Mississippi river. It ts not now evident whether public sentiment Is educated to this point at this time or not. It Is at least much nearer than It has ever been before, and will be nearer next .ear than it Is this year. and.every succeeding season of reflection will bring the common sense of Georgia nearer to a comprehension of tho prudent policy nnd the absolute necessity of this step. Ono thing Is certain—that It would be unspeakable folly to consummate this long lease at this time. In this icriod of unrest nnd of development. In this period of agitation and of changing and altering policies both on the part of the railroads and of the Btate. nothing can he clearer than tne policy of at least delaying action upon this vital matter. There Is nothing lo be lost by waiting. The railroads that cry "opportunity" are sim ply seeking to clinch their own advantage. If the state's railroad Is valuable in the exigencies of today. It will he infinitely more valuable In tho exigencies of tho over Increasing nnd multiplying prosperity and development of tomorrow. If this be the only opportunity to sell, then the state has not the power of veto upon any further combination paralleling with Its own line. If after this no other railroads should wish to buy the state’s prop erty, then the state would have reasbn to thank heaven for tho necessity which compelled tho use of this prop erty for Its own protection nnd advantage. The Western nnd Atlantic railroad Is the last splen did reserve of the state's policy of competition. It is the last bulwari; of the state against thq abso lute domination of the railroads without a free com petitor. It Is the last arrow In the state's quiver to shoot at tho evils of consolidation and of monopoly. It Is tho last, .best hold that the state has upon a situation already serious enough and which may become unbearable In the future. It la the last strategic entrenchment behind tvhlch the state may fight for Just freight rates and for fair treatment by the transportation lines. What unspeakable folly It would be to part lu haste with thla Invaluable possession of protection and de fense. Tho press of the Capital City la absolutely united In Its resolute Inalatenco that the house of representatives should kill the bill which has passed the senate.

Growth and Progress of the New South lag attention. tbe South which deserves something more tlmo pass- Georgia Doubles Country’s Average Growth Th* first five year* ot th* present century have been the most pro** peroua and progressive In the history ot manufacturing development In the United States. It Is well nigh Impossible for the mind to comprehend tpe meaning of the figuree Into which this expansion In the value of manutac* turlng enterprises and the value of their product! now run. It may become eomewhat clear when we say that there le not money enough In the world, gold, ellver and curerncy, to buy the manufactur ing enterprises of the couhtry, which have Increased more than 41 per cent In five years, and are now valued at practically 115,000,000,000. The products of these factories have increased more than 51 per cent In the same length of time, and now reach the enormous output of 315,063,- 441.350. As a matter of patriotic pride, we rejoice In thla general Increase, but the part which the South plays In the general prosperity Is particularly gratifying. Both tn the Increase of the amount Invested *nd the Increase In the products of the factories of the country, the South nelly ranks, first, while the New England states, for to long the very home of manufacturing enterprises, trail along at the end. The average Increase In the amount ot money Invested In the United Rtntre during the first five years ot the century was, as we have aald, 43 per cent, while the Increase for the Bouth alone was 65 per rent. The increase tn the value ot th* country'* product* wo* 51.5, white that of the 8nuth alone was practically 44.6 per cent. There Is no other group of states In the entire Union which can show quch a marvelous Increase, nnd the work J* Just getting under wgy. The Manufacturers' Record, In discussing the matter, gives these tables In full, divided Into group* of states. In order that Georgia's own ex clusive part tn this great manufacturing expansion may be seen at a glance we reproduce the table for the Southern states; • TIIK KlH'TIf. t'npltnl Invest—1, Value of l’nelm-n*.

These rates of increase must be studied by separate states for a comprehension of their full sig nificance and also In a knowledge of the equipment of the states as to the material for manufacturing Industry, the conveniences for a distribution of the finished product and the availability of labor. These statistics do not Include the figures of hand trades and neigh borhood Industries. If In the five years the rate ot Increase for the omitted Items was equal to that for factories alone, the value of all manufactured products tn 1905 was close to 32,160,000,000 In the South and close to'317.- 600,000,000 In the whole country.
