Ga.. Thursday Morning, August 16, 1917. Federal Judgship Appointee. Nomination of B. D. Evans of j Sandersville to fill the vacant j place on the federal bench of the Southern District of Georgia may be taken as conclusive that he will be the new judge. His name was in the list submitted to the attorney general by Senator Hardwick with the announce ment that any man named there in would be acceptable to both Georgia senators. This means that the long light over the judg ship, which was marked by a breach of diplomatic relations be tween the junior Senator and the White House, is at an end. While Savannah naturally would have been glad to see one of her o vn sons advanced to this very important and honorable post, and believes she would have done so except for her own fault, she accepts the opinion of many Sa vannah acquaintances of .Judge Evans and the evidence of his fine record that he is a thorough ly competent man, and she will be glad to welcome him here. It is expected, of course, that he will make his home in Savannah, for the reason, among others, that, as this is the greatest port in the district, there is need of the presence of a federal judge near ly all of the time. An admiralty court presumably is always in session and specially at this time should there be no delay in hand ling admiralty business because of the need of using all the world’s merchant tonnage as one weaj»on against Germany. Sa vannah will be glad to add Judge Evans to her citizenship.—Sa vannah News. Let It End Here. All danger that this session of the legislature will enact house bill No. 378, of which Represen tative Hall, of Bibb county, is the author, and which provides that no public utility, publicly or pri vately owned, may be constructed or operated in Georgia without sanction by state railroad com mission, is now virtually passed. So far so good! Now let us hope that this will be the last of it. A bill like it was passed by the last house, but the senate killed it. Such legislation as this will never build up the industries of , the state, its essential tendency being to foster monopoly, stifle ( civic enterprise and discourage* investment of outside capital in the development of the state’s re sources. The bill is shrewdly drawn, and it means more than a casual read ing of it would indicate. Un questionably it is in the interest only of those corporations which now largely control the water power resources of Georgia, and if it should become law its only tendency would be to discourage development of power sources not now in harness; thereby de stroying completion and material- j ly militating against the construe- 1 tion of new manufacturing enter prises, which are so essential to the fullest development of the state. Inevitably the day is coming when coal consumption for man ufacturing and industrial pur poses in Georgia will be reduced to the minimum, electric current produced by gravity power tak ing its place. The constantly ris ing price of coal, and the fact that the supply of this source of power is decreasing with every carload that is mined, coupled with the fact that few if any states in the union are richer than Georgia in water possibili ties, renders certain the transi tion from steam to electricity. Thefore, it is of great impor tance that the state’s water pow er sites, great and small, be de veloped and the power that is now running wildly to the sea be put to work in our industries. — j Atlanta Constitution. i fTYTTYTYTfTTYTYYTYYIITTYT• ► M ► Georgia State J jS Press Expressions, j The South is sure to get the prize this year on production. Even this year the South has not really shown what she is capable of doing. This year’s production however, should awaken every section below the Mason and Dixon line,—Walker Co. Messen ger. Former Ambassador Gerard says the first time he saw the Emperor of Germany after war was declared the Emperor was in his palace on the banks of the river Spree. Since then we be lieve His Majesty must have fall en in.—Savannah Press. Ginners are giving notice that ginning will cost more this season and liagging and ties will be more expensive. The farmers must give up some part of that twenty three cents a pound to the man who owns the gin. —Butler Her ald. It has been shown that a heavy crop of velvet beans has $55 worth of fertilizing value to the acre, which is about double the actual feeding value. The velvet bean is, therefore one of Toombs coun ty’s most valuable crops when figure either as feed or fertilizer. —Lyons Progress. The Macon News doesn’t want the people of Macon to give the slackers standing room for a meet ing. And the people of Macon are more than likely not going to give for a slacker meeting. Mark the prediction. If the slackers want to start something, let them try it. They ought not to be giv en standing room anywhere.— Cordele Dispatch.

Although boll weevils have ap peared on several farms in this county they have done no materi al damage to cotton so far. accord ing to reports. But if the wet weather continues much longer they may hatch out in sufficient numbers to destroy the top crop. Hawkinsville Dispatch-News. I Life is too short to worry about . the weeds on your neighbor’s sidewalk. Swat a few around your own premises and leave the balance to the town marshal.— Rochelle New Era. Those anti-draft agitators will probably be a little noisy from this on. The order has gone out to let such agitators be treated as traitors and in times of war like these a traitor is usually shot without much ceremony. Spring field Herald. “In favor of this war? Yes, we are! In favor of conscription? Yes. we are, absolutely and posi tively, yes! Want to go to war? Didn’t want any war, but since it couldn’t be averted, we are ready whenever Uncle Sam calls | —he can just whisper or make a ! sign instead of blowing his bugle, and we will respond readily!”— Talbot ton New Era. Don’t borrow your neighbor’s paper. Remember he subscribed and paid his money for it for his own use. Os course he won’t re fuse to let you have it, because you are his neighbor, but that’s no reason why yeti should “sponge” on him.—Telfair Enter ; prise. Some Georgia counties just don’t care who they send to the legislature. But we sympathise j with them just the same. —Darien i Gazette. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, AUGUST 16 1917.
