The Folly of Lawsuit.
Whatever else you do,' don’t get
into a lawsuit over some trilling
disagreement with a neighbor.
The courts are full of suits which
could have been settled by mutual
concession or by arbitration to the
great advantage of all parties ex
cept the lawyers in the case. Just
the other day a suit was decided
after two or three years of expense
and worry on the part of two fam
ilies. It was over a disputed line,
as so many such suits are, and the
land in dispute was probably not
worth fifty dollars. The suit cost
the winner $225, and the loser,
being taxed with the costs, neces
sarily had more to pay. It is prob
able that each party spent at least
SIOO worth of time in monkeying
With the case.
Another case recently noticed is
where a farmer had a right to get
water from a spring on a neighbor’s
land. He wanted to build a spring
house, the owner objected. The
first man had got along without a
spring-house for years, it would
not tiave damaged the land-owner
a penny, yet an injunction has
been issued and a lawsuit is on.
Each party will probably spend
several hundred dollars and be no
better off, and the old friendliness
of the neighborhood will be a thing
of the past.
To begin a suit in court over
some such trival matter which
could easily be adjusted by a little
give and take, is not only the poor
est sort of business policy—a case
of wasting certain dollars to gain
possible cents, —but is also a crime
against the community and a fool
ish waste of the best part of life.
For what shall it profit a man if
he gain a needless lawsuit only to
lose the goodwill of his neighbors
and his own friedliness towards
them?—Progressive farmer.

Gov. Brown’s Last Message.
The last message of Governor
Joseph M. Brown, sent to the leg
islature last. week, was a gem of
thought and full of sound doc
trine. He discussed live issues
and every recommendation was
one of weight The message was
too long for publication in full,
but to give an idea of it's sound
ness we have clipped a nut shell
version from one of our daily ex
changes .
Governor Brown’s message as
read to the Legislature contains
the following nuggsts and recom
mendations :
Conservation “means progress
in an orderly course.”
“Local self government is the
essence of authority in this state.
The state owes it to it’s own dig
nity to have no laws which are not
enforced. If they cannot be en
forced they should be repealed or
substituted by some that can be.”
Economy is urged on Legisla
ture. The state’s working capital
has probably decreased.
Attention is called tc the justice
cf the prompt payment of the sal
aries of teachers.
The entire fiscal sastern of the
state is out of date and cumber
some. A better system of audit
ing department is suggested.
More business-like method is
needed is assessing property for
taxation. Too much property is
escaping taxation.
The new registration law dis
franchised 85,000 white men in
Georgia in 1910 and more than
12,000 negroes were placed on the
voting lists by the same law.
Law compelling primary for
selection of nominee tor United
States Senate is recommended.
Recommends reduction of Rail
road Commission to three, who
shall give full time to state’s
work .
Georgia should have half as
many more railroads. The state
should not hinder but protect rail
roads, at the same time should
never waive right to control them.
Need of new railroads is shown by
growth of counties that have them
and lack of growth where they are
not.
Recommends Creation of office
; of road commissioner,and suggests
• road commission.
■ Wants executive to be relieved
of burden put upon him by couns
less applications for pardon. Asks
that Prison Commission be given
right to inspect prisons, with wo
men inspectors for womans wards.
Recommends general law to
give cities right to adopt commis
sion form of government.
Department of labor is recom
mended.
* lime has come to move toward
the elimination of illiteracy from
i at least the white children of
Georgia, going further than mere
ly providing school houses and
teachers.
