Georgian Appointed
Associate Justice
Washington, D. C. December—
President Taft sent to the senate
on Monday last the following nomi
nations.
For chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States, Edward
Douglas White of Louisiana, now
associate justice.
For associate justice. Willie Van
Devanter of Wyoming and Joseph
Rucker Lamar of Georgia.
Two of the places went to south
era men and democrats. Justice
White was immediately confirmed
by the senate, and Judge Lamar
•was confirmed on Thursday. 1
Senator Terreli of Georgia, who
as governor in 1903, appointed
Judge Lamar to the supreme court
bench of the state, strongly recam-
mended the Georgianto the President
and will have the pleasure of voting
for his confirmation for a place on
the highest judicial tribunal in the
United States.
Senator Bacon, Representatives
Howard, Brandy, and Bartlett
also exerted themselves to the ut
most in behalf of Judge Lamar.
The latter’s salary as an associate
justice will be $12,500 a year. He
has a life tenure of office, and his
position in some respects will be
higher than that of President of
the United States.
The position of chief justice of
the supreme court is one that Presi
dent Taft would gladly take in ex
change for his present trying office,
He has always wanted a place on
the bench, and did not want to be
president. His is a case in which
Fate played havoc with a big man’s
plans and purposes. Yet Jhe, a re
publican, names a democrat and a
former Confederate soldier to this
coveted position.
Georgians who have practiced
before the supreme court, say that
Justice White has undoubtedly the
strongest legal mind on the bench.
The whole ;Georgia delegation was
pleased beyond measure at the hon
or accorded to two democrats by
President Taft, and the confirmation
of the appointments by a republican
senate.—(By John Corrigan. Wash
ington Correspondent, Atlanta Con
stitution.)
In Memory.
Again the death angel has visited
the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. S.
Sticher, and took from them their
beloved daughter, Sleta Sticher, the
twelfth of Dec. 1910. She was ten
years, eight months, twenty days
old. She was ill only a short time,
God saw fit to take her home where
there will be no more pain nor sor
row. Sleta had gone to school only
one week this term. She was loved
by her school mates, friends and all
who knew her. We feel that she
is not dead; but sweetly sleeping in
the arms of Jesus. Sleta told her
mother that she did not know how
she was suffering, but she was alright
Mother, father, brother, sisters,
and grandmothers weep not for
your beloved daughter and sister
for she is out of all her suffering,
will escape a lots of temptation and
trials.
She has gone to walk the streets
of shining gold: but live in hopes of
meeting her some sweet day beyond
the vale of tears. We know you
miss her. She has paid the debt we
all must pay, we know not the day
nor the hour when God sees fit for
us to go he will call us home.
We can sympathize with the
grieved ones. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. S. E. Wilson
at the Hinesly Grave Yard where
she was laid to rest.
Dearest Sleta. thou hast left us
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But ’tis God who has bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.
