A Thought For The Day leave Jefferson along with Pendergrass and other places, entirely without railroad facilities and since Athens enjoys a large trade from that section this should prompt us if it has to he put on such a selfish basis, to co-operate with Jeffe^on and these other places in having the service continued. The railroad cannot ha expected to maintain the service at a continual loss . This would be unfair to the corporation and since it is in the hands of re ceivers it is hardly possible that the court officials would allow this to continue the case and if Athens wholesalers and business men in general want this road onerated thev mnsf divido that. road operated they must divide their business with it. They must see that I he Gainesville Midland gets MUST orders for a certain number of routings over the lines and not simply pledge them a part of their business and then forget to forward the routing orders.

DIVIDE THE WESTERN CIRCUIT There has been much discussion for the past four or five years concerning the necessity for dividing the Western Judicial Circuit, but nothing has been done. Each year the amount of litigation increases, criminal cases multiply and (if we may be permitted a paradox) there is an acceleration of the "law’s de lay.” Obviously it is time something were done. There are seven counties in this circuit containing an aggregate population of just a little under one hundred and fifty thousand, and, the judge is re quired to hold thirty-eight weeks, of regular terms of court.each year to pay nothing of (lie extra terms, and chamber’s hearings. There is hut one judge. ThCttaverage judicial circuit presided over by one judge in Georgin has. a population of about sixty- five thousand and holds about seventeen weeks of regular court. At {he time Judge Colib resigned as judge of the Western Circuit two and a half years ago he called attention, in an able letter to the Governor, to the pongefted dockets and overwhelming amount of work entailed upon the presiding judge of this cir cuit ajul clearly pointed out the necessity for relief and direful results of its failure to he granted. He Ifhen adverted to the fnct that the Western is the largest one-judge circuit in the State in both pop ulation and amount of legal business, and that there is in fact only one other circuit in the Stute larger, the Atlanta circuit, which is composed of one county (Fultijp), has a population of something over two hundrpd thousand and four judges. A bill has been introduced at this session of the legislature giving the Atlanta circuit still another judge. Thq-population of the "Macon circuit (which is composed of three counties) is about one hundred thousand, perhaps a little in excess of that figure, and it lias two judges. Certainly there can be no spirit on the part of the Genensl Assembly to discriminate against, the people of thif circuit. Clearly they nre entitled to have their litigation disposed of as speedily and with as much ' consideration devoted to its hearing'ns are citizens of I other ‘-dircuits. Undoubtedly the judge of the West- ern Circuit is entitled to as much consideration as are thfc other judges of the State. . And while we are convinced the discrimination against us has been,perfectly unconscious on the part of thq legislature it has been none the less real. Wej'undorstand a bill has been introduced by Mr. Duko.i looking towards a redistricting of nil the cir cuits in the State and that a committee is to be ap- pointdd from House and Senate to canvass the whole 'flatten and report to the next General Assembly. j. excellent, but if the bill to hold bl-ennial ses- fa passed, and it reems it will, the report of the Duke .committee may, become a law in from two to Six years. Furthermore, thut committee cannot fail to recommend that two circuits bo established in what is now the Western. So why wait on the com- tea-when all must agree relief is so sorely neod- here now. Justice delayed is usually justice dc- 'cated.* ' It seems to us that merely to state the facts in the C-ae if to argue it, and we can anticipate no opposi- 'on to-the hill which we have been informed will be itnxpced at this session to create two circuits out jjM.present Western Circuit. Each of the two new 1 las would have a greater population and more I 2}'urine?n than the average circuit in the State, ’ctjtrust this bill will be immediately introduced id promptly enacted. The Western Circuit cannot ' rd'.to wait longer. Her people have been dis- inated against, however unwittingly, certainly t 'lloflg. . Let> the bill pass. It is very probable that the service will depend on (he attitude of the Athens business public.
