Any injustice in the news or editorial columns or any inaccuracy will be rectified gladly, and anyone calling our attention to un just, injurious nr inaccurate statements in this newspa per will have our sincere thanks, ANDREW J. COBB FOR JUDGE. The name of Andrew J. Cobb, of Athens, is promin ently before the state in- connection with the appointment to the United States judgeship for the Northern district of Georgia to fill the vacancy caused by the approaching re tirement of Judge W. T. Newman. Judge Cobb is a brother of Captain John A. Cobb, of Americus, and known and loved from one end of Georgia to the other. He has turned sixty' years, and his age is the only objection urged against him by' anyone. In reply to this, it has been pointed out that he is twenty years the junior of Captain Cobb, who at past eighty is active, of clear intellect, and performs efficiently the duties of ordinary of Sumter coun ty, as well as serving in other public capacities which necessitate his frequent traveling about the state. At 60 Judge Andrew Cobb's friends regard him good for many years on the bench. The following card by Rev. Ashby Jones, one,of tht South's greatest preachers, is an indication of how Judge Cobb is regarded: » “The approaching retirement of that great jurist and nobie Christian gentleman, Judge Wm. T. Newman, docs more than leave vacant a judicial office of supreme im portance. It challenges the ability of this commonwealth to furnish ft man tall enough and broad enough o fill the vacancy. Democracy meets its supreme test in the per sonnel of its judges. Our liberty, which is our supremely sacred possession can only find a full and fair expression under the guidance of an honest and intelligent interpre tation of law. Back of the popular assembly, the press, the ballot box, and the legislature stands the court, the last bulwark of the rights of the people. Here, weakness or lack of w’isdom is fatal. “Therefore, as a private citizen of this old common wealth, -without any political alliances, or any partisan association, I propose to the people of Georgia that we ask the president of the United States to appoint Judge An drew J. Cobb, of Athens, to succeed Judge W. T. Newman. Judge Cobb's matchless record as a lawyer and as a judge, both upon the supreme bench and in the trial court, more than fulfils the ideal suggested. His life in public and private has wrought out such a definition of grace, integrity, and wisdom that we might well seize this op portunity to say to the world. Here is our definition of an idegl Georgian.’ it is most fitting that, at this hour, when we are rejoicing over our splendid victory for dem ocracy that we should honor the man whose clarion tones during the past year challenged the heroism of our peo ple to follow, in loyalty, the leadership of our great President. Could we do a more wonderfully intelligent or beautifully gracious thing than unanimously ask Mr. Wilson to appoint Andrew J. Cobb to be judge of the Northern United States district of Georgia? “(Rev.) M. ASHBY JONES.” “Atlanta, March 4,’’ The following from the Athens Banner, Judge Cobb's home paper: “During the past few years there has probably been no single Georgian who has spoken the mind of his peo ple so fearlessly and so clearly, as did Judge Andrew J. Cobb in his Fourth of July speech in Athens in 1917, and in his subsequent utterances during the following eighteen months. Judge Cobb’s call to Georgians to stand by Woodrow Wilson in days of stress flashed over Georgia and stirred the people of this state as nothing else has done in years. Occupying as he does a post of responsi bility and trust, and having back of him a spotless re cord as jurist and Christian gentleman, Judge Cobb's denunciation of certain Georgians for their tactics of ob struction at once struck a responsive chord in the heart <>t every red-blooded man in the state. Georgians know Andrew J. Cobb, and they recognized in his call an appeal to the best impulses of our people. For this fearless hewing to the line, regardless of -where the chips fell, Georgians owe Judge Cobb, a debt of gratitude. To him. more than to any other man in the state, is due to the relegation of the obstructionist to the political scrap heap. Is it no time that Georgians expressed to Judge Cobb their appreciation of what he did? Can we do this in any finer or more appropriate way than by calling on our splendid President to honor him with the judicial ermine? < A VERSE A DA Y. j PALS. GOOD BYE, old Comrade, we must part, Our soldier days are o’er . We've done our la.st long hitch on guard, We’ve mopped our last d floor. We've had our last inspection, And we’ve hiked our millionth mile. There's no more drill and double time To w-ipe away our smile. Our long, long trail is ended, Pard, Our skies are clear and blue, And there’s no more pain and heartaches, For her who waits for you. And now I say, “So Long, Old Pard,” At the parting of the ways; Your comradeship is mine to keep In my dreams of by-gone days. Is he qualified? There are none his superior and few his equal. Is his health and strength sufficient for the task? He is in the fullness of his intellectual and physi cal vigor with many years of efficient sendee before him. Is there any one valid reason why this splendid Georgian cannot fill Judge Newman’s place with the same marked ability? Not one. Other aspirants? Os course. But what Georgian, now an aspirant, would not grace fully step aside and join with tens of thousands of other' Georgians in a petition to Woodrow Wilson t.o name An-' drew J. Cobb for this position? Surely these lawyers,, whose names are now being mentioned (al 1 of them atle mm) -would not deny Georgia this opportunity to honors the man who woke the sleeping manhood of the state and by his ringing appeals to the best that was in her caused , Georgia to forever silence the scornful criticism that had been heaped on her head. “Judge Cobb, we call on you in the name of all Geor gians to allow your name to be preented to President Wilson by the people of Georgia. We do not believe that President 'Wilson will refuse to acquiesce in this desire on our part to pay tribute where tribute is due. - ’ LESS CHOLERA—MORE HOGS. An important result of hog-cholera control work, be-j gun by the United States department of agriculture in i 1913, and which has resulted in a steady decline of the disease, has been the stimulus given the development of swine raising in the South, says the department. With other activities of the department in this line, the assur ance given to Southern farmers that hogs can be produc-. ed without fear of losses from cholera has encouraged , growing not only larger numbers of animals, but also better types. This has been noticeable particularly in Georgia. A few years ago this state purchased about 40,- 000,000 pounds of pork annually. But efforts for the con trol of hog cholera have gradually extended over the en tire state, with resulting confidence in hog raising. By 1918 Georgia was producing pork enough to make ship ments to outside points besides supplying a large number of hogs to local slaughtering establishments. Similar progress has been made in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. ! THE STATE PRESS. j — I I Speaking .ruthfully. Columbus and Americus get U. S. army camps, but Sumter, Colquitt, Dougherty, W’are, and, perhaps, Thomas, will get permanent roads, which are just as good, if not better.—Thomasville Times-Enterprise. Enough Said. With certain portions of our city streets so boggy I that automobiles have to be towed through them and the county roads practically impassable, it would appear | that no further argument in favor of permanent roads ivould be necessary.—Telfair Enterprise. THIS AND THAT. The Ides of March remind us that Julius Caesar has been dead some two thousand years, but there are still brutes, if not Brutus, that butcher him. Camp Wheeler is fast disappearing but Macon is alto gether tractor-able. Why- is it that wells sometimes cause ills? The difference bet-ween a mule and a tractor is that one drinks water and the other drinks kerosene —it is all a matter of taste—and pocketbook! Some roads are paved with good intentions- we are not speaking of the road to Souther Field. Spring has sprung and cases of spring cleaning, spring hats, and spring fever generally, are springing into evidence every day. We have always heard that diamond-made matches are safer, but why not invent a moonstone match? The waste paper basket of The Times-Recorder over flows every day and the March zephyrs spread the un sightly scraps up and down Jackson street. Let's take up a collection! A lady we know has just returned from Florida and she says it is a beautiful state, but only Baptists can live there. —C. D. S. 1 AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
