ENCOURAGING DISRESPECT FOR LAW.
At the called term of the city court held at Ly
ons last Monday, business of the court was delayed
through the failure of a number of citizens to res
pond to summons to serve as jurors. We are told
that attachments had to be sworn out for both ju
rors and witnesses before it was possible to try
6ome important cases pending in the court.
We have noticed in Toombs county for some
time a disrespect and a disregard for the lawful
summons of the courts. If a man summoned to
serve as a juror does not lind it convenient to at
tend, lie remains away from the court. The court
calls his name, notes that so many jurors are miss
ing and the sheriff is instructed to pick up a suffi
cient number of jurors to make out the panels.
Scores of citizens find that the summons to jury
service can lie disregarded and as a result respect
for our courts is broken down, the work of the
courts is hampered and lack of respect for law is
engendered.
In a democracy like ours, our courts should be
looked on with reverence and respect, and unless
our courts are respected and the summons of a
court obeyed, a widespread disrespect and disre
gard for law is sure to follow. The judges of our
courts have a sacred and solemn duty, not only to
see that crimes are punished, wrongs righted, jus
tice administered, the weak protected, but to up
hold respect for the court and inculcate and enforce
obedience to its mandates and summons. To per
mit a disregard of the summons of a court to ap
pear as a witness or to do jury duty, is to do infi
nite damage to our American institutions and is
to allow the weeds of disrespect for law to flower
and flourish.

EDUCATION MAKES BIG MONEY RETURN.
Let us take a boy who leaves school at four
teen and another who continues his education until
he is eighteen, and see how both stand at the age*
of twenty-six. Will tin- salary made in twelve’
years by the boy who left school at fourteen equal
the eiglit years salary made by the hoy who con
tinues his education until lie is eighteen? Figures
complied by the United States Bureau of Educa
tion show that at twenty-five years of age the hoy
who finished high school is not only getting a bet
ter yearly salary, but lias made a larger total sum
of money than the hoy who started to work four
years earlier. Here is the proof that education
pays:

ond child $7,337.50.
At the age of 25 the high school boy was mak
ing S9OO a year more than the hoy with only a
grammar school education. This is equivalent to
5 per cent interest on SIB,OOO.
From 25 years of age on the salary of the bet
ter educated boy will continue to rise more rapidly
for in fact even at this age the increase in the
salary of the grammar school boy has slowed down
very perceptibly.
Although the wages now paid are much higher
than when these figures were complied, the com
parison remains applicable. Moreover, while the
value of high school education is here given in
terms of cash salaries, we believe the same prin
ciples will hold good on the farm. The farmer
with the better trained mind will not only get more
out of li/e but make larger farm profits.

ADVICE WORTH LISTENING TO.
Speaking before the Vidalia Kiwanis Club on
Monday night, Dr. J. W. Palmer of Ailey, one ot
the strong physicians of this section, made an ap
peal for the adoption of the Lllis Health Law by
the three counties of Montgomery, Toombs and
Treutlen, which we hope will bear fruit and be en
dorsed by citizens as these three counties.
This proposal, we understand, has been endors
ed by the medical association of these counties,
and when the reputable physicians of a county en
dorse a measure looking to the prevention of dis
ease and conserving the health of the people, it is
indeed advice worth listening to.
As we have pointed out before, the three coun
ties of Montgomery, Toombs and 1 reutlen have a
total area and total population about equal to a
number of the larger counties of the state, which
are well served by a Health Commissioner. There
is no reason then why these three counties could
not unite and employ one health commissioner and
1 1,us cut the cost of the work one-third what the
cost would amount to if each county had a separate
commissioner.
The Ellis Health Law provides for regular pe
riodic examination of the school children and these
examinations reveal a large per cent of the children
suffer from adenoids, from bad tonsils, from defec
tive vision or hearing, from many other troubles
that are easily corrected. Correction of these
troubles during childhood mean a healthy life for
the child, where otherwise there would have been
sickness, incapacity and suffering. We believe the
Health Commissioner in the good he can do through
the examination of school children more than earns
; his salary, not to speak of the work he does in
stamping out preventive diseases over the terri
tory which he serves.
’ We arc anxious to sec these three counties take
this great forward step. Our people are not apt;
to go wrong if thy listen to their physicians, who
are trying to stamp out sickness and disease.

A GOOD MOVE.
Thirty-five of the leading business and profes
sional men of Lyons have united to form what will
probably he called the Lyons' Builders Club, meet
ing to i>e held every two weeks at which time a
luncheon will be served, and the purpose of the
chib being to foster and promote different objects
for the upbuilding of their home community. We
regard this as a splendid move and feel sure that
the coming together of these business and profes
sional men. with the purpose of serving the best
interests of their town and county, will be produc
tive of untold good.
Such an organization should be formed by the
citizens of Mt. Vernon and Ailey. The interests
of the se two towns are practically identical and a
bi-monthly meeting of their leading citizens to dis-
I cuss matters of common interest looking to the
upbuilding of their section and their county would
do much to stimulate progress along all lines.
