A County Court For Barrow
The recent grandjury recommended for Barrow
county a county court which recommendation carries
with it the establishment of this court.
There are about seven hundred eases on the docket
of the superior court of this county, and it will take
several years to cl<tar these dockets if no new eases
should lie placed thereon.
These conditions demand that something be done to
relieve the situation and the grandjury after careful
investigation created n county court to take care of the
smaller part of the business that comes before the
superior court.
If given time we believe this court will prove a most
economical way of disposing of much of the business
that conies before our courts.
The county court of Oconee county, one of our neigh
bors, has no'ver cost the county anything. It lias more
than paid expenses. The judge of that court in a let
ter to tlie editor of The News says: “The coimty
court here lias never cost the county anything. Often
it has more) than paid expenses. I recall several years
when it paid the county very handsomely above ex
penses. While I do not believe in operating a court
for profit, I do believe in economy, and if some profit
is incidental It is not to he despised in this time of
mismanagement and waste.”
The solicitor of the county court of Oconee says.
"There is a way to relieve the congestion in your su
perior court and that is by creating a copnty court,
which can be done on thd recommendation of the
grandjury. This court in our county is not only self
sustaining, lint each year it pays into the county treas
ury more money than it costs to run the court and at
tlie same time relieves our superior court of the largo
number of eases. It will he a money saving propo
sition for the county if you will recommend the crea
tion of a county court.”
Tlie above is what, tlit- two officials of a neighboring
county think of such a proposition. We fool sure if
tlie members of our legal fraternity will co-operate in
getting this court started right that it will prove a very
economical institution.

One of tlie finest things in life to learn is to learn

The Children Will Pay
It is true that a vast, portion of the Indebtedness
Incurred by the great war will be paid by those that
were children under twenty-one years of age when
war was declared. This tremendous burden lias tsvn
placed upon them by those in authority. Some times
we think our public men are the most incompetent for
the Jobs they hold than anyone; else. Farmers, mer
chants, clerks, professional men are far more effi
cient in their vocations than those at the head of
public affairs. There wasn’t a man in Germany, how
ever humble) his vocation, hut. what performed the du
ties of his job letter than tho kaiser. He was a
tremendous failure as a leader of his js-ople. At
hLs bidding tremendous burdens hnv\ been placed
upon liis people that the young children of the pres
ent time will have to stagger along under all their
lives. We should he slow to place great burdens upon
the coming generations.

The Sweetest Singing
“Brother Mockingbird,” as lie is affectionately call
ed, slugs in any old place—in the pine, ns well as
peach trues, when the branches are bright with blos
soms, or barren and forlorn.
It may make a difference to him, but you never can
tell it from his song. He sings because the music is
waiting for utterance, and the soul of sweet<Bt song
is in him.
Still, we think (hat what he must love best is a
garden-place in which to sing—some little home-gar
den, in town or country, with a solitary peachtree in
it, whore he perches supreme.
He finds such garden spots in the city, and seems
to love to welcome the morning there, and never omits
to make the night melodious.
He seems lo think that the busy, clanging, horn
honking city needs just, that kind of softened singing
to cheer it up. And hd isn’t mistaken!
It takes the city dwellers out of the daily rut of
toil and struggle, and sets them dreaming of “green
fields and running brooks,” and old sweethearts that

All sweet music makes tlie world dream dreams;

Editor McWhorter, of tlie Winder News hops up
and says: “In all our life wc have never seen as
little rdspcct for law as is manifested in the country
today. There need to be some hangings in Georgia
and less interference with the verdicts of the juries
and the judgments of the courts.”
Why McWhorter! What do you mean? Didn’t
you know that even the lash on sullen convicts can
not be used now? Is not this a progressive age? Can’t
you keep up with the times. Old fogies like the Win
