We nave vafcsn occasion at differ ent times to condemn certain phase: of what is referred to in genera terms as the "law." We have also not mince^Ycrds in discussing some awyers. iHMbur poor opinion does ;iot by any means extend to lawyers is a class and especialj^r not to those awyers who are^m^th^ ibench as ' dges.‘ And of an^fhe jjjydges in ■orgla none is deserving of higher -•pect than our own Judge Mitchell the Southern Circuit. Modesty has often been eulogized < i he most precious trait that worn- i possesses. It ls-perhaps more rare ;;1 more precious in man than in >man. Judge Mitchell is both able .id modest. After the resignation >f Justice Candler of the Supreme :urt Governor Terrell, who is noted >r the wisdom of to appointments, tc red the vacant Judgshlp to Mr. .Itchell. The offer was made by ong dlatanco telephone. Judge Iltchell preferred to remain In hlf esent position among his own peo- le and at his own home. The com- dlment and the proffered honor was i v&ry great one. Nine men out oi .an would have told every person •hey met of the offer end Its declln- ttlon. So great was Judge Mitchell’* modesty that he did not even tell the members of his own family of the ovont. When they finally heard j." It from other channels ho.asked hat they say nothing about It. He nay even be displeased at this men- ton of It In hie home paper, and ■ould doubtles object if he knew It was to be made: It is a pleasant thing tor the Judge's* neighbors, relatives and friends to know that hla worth la so widely recognized and that his ability is known abroad as well as at home. That he would grace the Supreme Bench there Is no doubt He is poBsesed of a temperament eminently fair and Judicial. In ren dering his decisions he knows no fear or favor. His ripe Knowledge of the law Is evidenced by his remark' able record on the bench of the Southern circuit. We are very glad that he saw fit to decline the offered honor and to remain among South Georgia cannot spare such WHAT OTHERS SAY. The Industrial edition of the Tlmes- Enterprlse was the recipient of much pleasant comment from the press of the state. The mention made by so many papers has already been a splen did advertisement for Thomasville. A few of the many kind expressions are appended: (From the Thomasville Press.) Our ne'.hbor, the Times-Enter- prise, came out last Sunday with a special illustrated Industrial edition of sixteen pages and was full of read lng matter giving an Interesting writeup of the Industries and advan tages of Thomasville and Thomas county.

Tells Why Col. Dillingham's Heine dies Acquire Such Rapid Popu larity. Col. F. A. Dillingham's Plant Juice, the medicine which Is creat ing shell a furore, among Thomas' vllle people, and which Is being In troduced here by the local druggists, Is practically a new remedy. It was first Introduced by Col. Dillingham about a year ago and has since made blm a fortune whicb Is estimated above the half million mark. Although these remedies have been In the drug stores only few weeks the work they are accom plishing 1 sthe talk ot this section. Although very busy J. W. Peacock yesterday gave five (jinutes of his time to the discussion of these rem edies here and elsewhere. Upon be ing asked, “Mr. Peacock how do you account for the extreme popu larity of Plant Juice remedies In the sections where they are adver tised and the Immense Interest they arouse so quickly. He smilingly replied: “Any pop ularity which they may acquire not by any means due to salesman ship or advertising. All Success which has come to them Is due en tirely to the formula which it used In preparing them. It Is no} °n account of any spe cial liking for me that people come to my drug store to shake my hand as you hare seen them do while waiting here, but It Is simply owing to the Act that this ,PIant Juice which I am selling helps sick people and the sick man or woman who has been benefitted Is the most grateful person In the \yorld. "We who are well cannot realize what days and weeks and months of suffering means. , Good health, af ter all, Is worth more than anything else In the world tyid ^because I am prising publishers. able to help these poor sufferers with little or no hope before them, for this reason and this only, do I win the confidence and respect - of my patrons. "While Col. Dillingham, believes In sharing to a certain extent what he Is f^rtuntae enough to make, with his less fortunate brethren, the money that he distributes for charity produces only a small portion of the friends which I am proud to say the remedies acquire throughout the country. “Dillingham's medicine Is sold by me at a very reasonable price, which puts It within the reach of all. Ev ery sale I make Is with the under standing that If It falls to be a ben efit I return the money. Many peo ple, knowing that my word la good, purchase from me who would not otherwise and It would surprise yon It 1 were to tell you the small per centage ot whose money I have re turned to them owing to the tact that they have not been benefitted. The conversation took ' place at Mr. Peacock's drug atore and at the time there were fully a dozen people waiting to abtaln an Interview with him. Owing to the many people ontslde jf ThomasvlUe who are anxious to secure some of the wonderful reme dies, a special mall orde{ department was organized a few days ago to received. , The amount ot business which this department Is taking care of Is stupendous, last week there were received at the drug stores over a dozen letters, enclosing any where from one to five dollars, ask ing either for Dillingham’s Plant Juice or theJMant Juice Liniment, or both. The clerk who has charge of this department for Mr. peacock in speak log ot the immense amount ot medi cine he Is shipping, said: “From almost the first' day of Col. Dtliing- ham’s advertising, the letters have been pouring In and have been In creasing In number dally until last week we received over fifty with re-, quests for medicine. As each one of the requests' means the shipping of a bottle or two, yon can readily see that It keeps mo fairly busy taking care of the orders. ‘We send one bottle of Plant Juice or two bottles of Plant Juice Liniment upon receipt of one dol lar. or more In proportion. The Plant Juice is a kidney, qtomach, liv er and blood medicine, and is used in all cases of catarrh, stomach trou ble, kidney and bladder complaints, torpid liver and Impoverished blood being a grand spring tonic, and the Plant Juice Liniment for partial par alysis, stiff Joints, deafness and pains. The offer to send medicine by ‘ex press will continue indefinitely.” HAS FIFTY-THREE 8U NDAYS. A Peculiarity of the Year That Is Now Drawing to a Close. Not peculiarly noted as a period for the pious observance of the moral code, the year 1905, has offered the ■peoples of the earth" more oppor tunities for public worship than any of its predecessors In perhaps many decades. Fifty-three SundayB wete marked on the calendar, a circum stance that will never occur again during the lives of persons now liv ing, as It is estimated that 110 years will pass before this remarkable ar rangement of'the calendar Is again observed. The explanation of tho ghehomena is simple. The year began on Sun day and will, end on Sunday, thdd throwing ^n an extra day of worship giving the people of the earth one Sabbath In eycess of the number of working weeks. BRIDE AND GROOM HERE.

Almost from the first dose we noticed a change and she has gained flesh, strength and appetite and sleeps well every night. “I don’t believe any one should give a delicate child old fashioned, nauseating cod liver oil or emulsion when Vlnol is so delicious and It will do so much more good than any other tonic.
