A MODEST JURIST.
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

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

modesty that he did not even tell

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

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Industrial edition of the Tlmes-

pleasant comment from the press of
the state. The mention made by so
many papers has already been a splen

are appended:

TAIKS TO REPORTER.
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.

A REGULAR G1RCUS.
Trying to Give n Little Girl Cod Liv

An Interesting incident was told
In R. Thomas, Jr’s drag store the

A man came in and bought a bot
tle of Vlnol and while waiting for
change engaged the clerk in conver
sation." m
Said he: "We are told to give
oud little girl cod liver oil. I bought
a bottle and took it home. Wehad
regular clroua trying to get the
child to take it. Then It did not
agree with her at all, the oil upset
her stomach. She did not get any
better, so I told the doctor how we
had failed and he at once recommen
ded your Vlnol, saying that It con
tained dll of the curative, (reeling
and strengthening properties of cod
liver oil without a drop of oil and
that children all love Its taste.'
“I took home a bottle anji we be-
.gan to- give It to our child - right
away. She said If was delicious and
wanted more. 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. It Is simply a wonderful med
