WEEKLY TBIE3-ENTERPRISE, FEBRUARY IS, 1907.
THE CALF AND THE HOPE.
Somewhere In the lore of nurso-
rles or mythology there, It the etory
of a calf who was given all the rope
he wanted, and straightway he pro
ceeded to bang himself. That is
what the railroads seem to be try
ing to accomplish.
Emory Speer, the pompous Judge
of the United States court in (Geor
gia, like President Roosevelt, talks
so much that he Is sure to be right
on some things. He Is eminently
correct In the following taken from
a charge to a grand jury:
"lyhere formerly asthmatic 'en
gines attached to unsafe and noisome
trains through the solitudes of an
Impoverished country like a wound
ed snake dragged their slow length
along now we behold on massive
rails of gleaming Bteel. on roadbeds
of granitic ballast, successive sec
tions of long freight trains sturdy
steaming through a prosperous land
smllllng with luxuriant crops, beau
tiful with neat and happy homes, the
(chimneys of great factories giving
employment to thousands almost
marking the miles; or the admlra-

will long be cherished by those who
knew him, and cherished longest by
those who knew him best. The good
that be did will still live. If can
not be entombed. The rising genera
tion will be pointed to. the life and
character of this model citizen as
an example to be followed, as an
Incentive for correct and upright
living. Surely this is a rich legacy
he has left behind him, jr legacy far
more valuable thgp sordid wealth.
This poor tribute comes from one
who knew and loved him in life and
who now sincerely mourns his death.

A SPLENDID BAR.
Almost every paper In the state
has paid editorial tribute to the lhte
Judge Hansell. One of the) most In
teresting Is from the pen or Editor
Pleasant A. Stovall, of the Savan
nah Press. He calls attention to a
fact that some of us had overlooked,
that Judge Hansell was elected to
Congress in the old First District,
immediately after the war, bnt was
never allowed to take his seat. |
Speaking of the olden times he
says; , . ,
"What a splendid bar that was In
the Southern circuit! There were
