The State and a bill has been introduced in the counties, however, contributed from Georgia House of Representative which provideB for a change in the manner of selecting Judges of our Superior Courts, the Georgia's War Against Tick, Washington, D. C , July 10. —If ade quate funds are available, it is estima ted that the work of eradicating the tick in Georgia should be completed in the first, and by 1919 it was possible to free 1,407 fquare miles.

The Tribune-Herald is two or three years. committed to the principles of democra- On April 1, including all county, 1 cy—those broad, comprehensive politi- State snd Government men, there were ca | ideals that have for more than a to have quarantine regulations removed. The cost of the work at the end of 1914 had amounted to *254,582, of which the Federal Government paid *146,890, the State of Georgia *57,029, and the counties *51,473. The great need at present is increased appropriations by the State and counties. During the past two or three years the State De partment of Agriculture haB co-opera ted actively and energetically with the Federal authorities, but the interest in the work of county officiBlB has in gen eral been inadequate to carry on the work with sufficient rapidity. As a matter of fact, the more rapidly the work is done the less it costB per square mile of territory freed. Much of the expense is due to the campaign of edu cation necessary to Becure co-operation on the part of the farmers, Bnd this campaign must be carried on whether the results are discouragingly slow or not. For the first two years after the work was begun no territory at all was freed, although the Federal Government ex pended over 110,000 the first year, but the State appropriation was only *46 The second year the Federal Govern ment spent $7,290, and the State and counties nothing at all. Thereafter, however, the practical value of getting rid of the ticks was more thoroughly realized by the farmers themselves, and State and county appropriations have been increasing regularly ever since. The results were immediately noticeable. In 1913, 1,969 square miles were freed; in 1914 , 974, and on March 1 of thiB year, 2,911 square miles. The authorities in charge of the work confidently believe that further exten- eive releases will follow at intervals hereafter. Much of the work that has already been done does not show, of course, in the amount of territory re leased, but more and more farmers in the quarantined are»s are becoming convinced of the many advantages of tick-free stock. In the first place, the production of milk in dairy cattle and the weight of beef cattle are both increased to a most important extent. Moreover, it is possible to improve the grade of stock in tick-free sections, whereas this i» quite out of the ques tion as long as the country remains tick-infested. To import a valuable bull for breeding purposes into a tick- infested urea would be a pure waste of money, for the animal would die of fe ver in a very short time. The value of the hides of tick-free cattle is ulso much increased. Some time ago the Department of Agriculture «ent to a number of stock- breeding farmers a series of questions on the effect of tick eradication in their neighborhoods. These replies show that the average per cent, of gain in weight in territory that has been freed from ticks was 19 14, the quality of the cat tle was said to have improved about one-fourth, and the average milk pro duction had increased 23 per cent. The average increase in vaiue tor each head of cattle in the eleven States affected was calculated to lie *9.70 In Califu - nia, however, it was placed as high as *15. These figures, of course, are not scientifically exact, but they represent the opinions of men vitally interested in the whole matter. The work in Georgia is being csrried on both by education and by practical assistance. Literature is distributed, lectures and exhibits given, and demon strations of dipping held. The practi cal work consists of systematic disin fection of the cattle by dipping in ar senics! baths, by excluding the animals from infected pastures until the ticks die of starvation, and by quarantining (in those counties which have undertaken to free themselves from the pes'.l farms whose owners refuse to consent to dip their stock. Co-operation in this con nection is, of course, a necessity for ef fective work. For some reason, however, the people of Georgia have not been as enthusias tic in the work as their neighbors in Mississippi. The work in that State •tarted a year later than in Georgia. systematic work —the term used to de scribe the eradication of the ticks by regular dippings at stated intervals— has been inaugurated in five new coun ties. Preliminary educational work has also been started in thirteen additional counties, four of which are in the southwestern part of the State, near the Florida line. “Mother Was in the Way.” John Fltrgfrald in Anniston Star. In a forgotten grave in the corner of a. country graveyard a mother lies sleeping. Summer's Run and winter’s chill have played fantastic games over the roof of this home of sacred dust and left their marks of decay. Wild flowers alone, planted by na ture’s sympathetic hand, pay tribute to the sweet bouI that here lies sleep ing. No voice comes up from the grave to tell the story of human wrong—no avenging ghost walks forth to point the finger of guilty accusation. Yet the grave represents a murder— murder as black as hell. Mother was in the way. She was an unwelcome intruder in the homes of the children Bhe blessed with life, and her last days on earth were made sad by the knowledge that the tieB of blood were brittle, and she was murdered. Murdered? Yes, in helplessness, and the sons and daughters with affairs of their own too important to neglect in mother’s behalf, are the murderers. In the mocking glare of the world they move and smile, free and unac cused. They receive the smiles and honors of their kind as they each draw nearer the day when old age and help lessness shall come to them, and no one dreams that their souls are as black as perdition. A look into their mocking faces does not reveal the mark of Cain, yet it is there, and Bomewhere in the Btnothered conscience a small voice ib crying out in helpless protest. After the glamo ir and mock-glorv of this world is passed and they have plucked the last fruit from the tree of knowledge they will stand revealed in the awful presence of that sweet-old face in a land where no dark secrets are hid. Self-accused, they will turn in silence to their self-ad judged reward. Mother was not murdered with a 'elected by the people dagger at the heart or with a deadly poison. That would have proved em barrassing. Mother was slowly tor tured to death through neglect, and but for the steady devotion of one out of many her heart would have broken and her mind collusped long before God saw fit to remove her hence and place her amid the joys abundant prepared for those who have loved Him. Mother was in the way of one be cause that one could not look after mother and attend to the wants of a household. Mother was in the way of another because his wife objected, and still another pieferred to pay the main tenance of mother rather than admin ister little acts of loving kindness with his own hands. They shed a few hypocritical tears, and wept bitterly. The public lamen tations were loud, long and vehement. The tears, iind the mourning that fits the figure well are convenient, and serve to hide the rotten guiltiness of the soul within. They do not know that real grief hides itself in bitter si lence and cries out alone in the speaking caverns of the heart. Tnis is an isolated case. Scores of graves in every quarter of the glob*, if they could reveal their dark secrets, would echo the accusation here made. Mother was in the way. century been inculcated by real leaders of the people. It is the great democ racy that will finally rule the entire civilized world, and it is no departure from those principles to oppose the popular election of Judges of our trial courts. The reason for this opposition in volves the close contact of trial Judges with the people, and the inevitable po litical entanglements that result. Many of our heBt lawyers are comparatively poor men. They devote their lives to the pursuit of their profession, having little time or inclination to build up their fortunes, and there iB really little opportunity to do so out of the salaries they receive. When a lawyer becomes a Judge he can engage in no other business. After he serves a term or two on the bench, of course his cli entele is gone. If he is displaced it iB necessary to start all over again. This is no small proposition, even to the best of them. Many very good Judges are advanced in age, and it is a hard ship to be thrown suddenly out of a job. Necessarily they want to prevent such an occurrence. As matters Btand our Judges are sub ject to all the vicissitudes of politics. At any time they may become the vic tims of a hostile political faction, par ticularly if in the honeBt discharge of their duties they have incurred the ill- will of that faction. Some heated po litical contests have been witnessed in Georgia ove- these Supt^ior Court Judgeships. In a few instances they have not been very creditable affairs. It iB particularly humiliating to a Judge to be forced to ‘’stoop to conquer” in order to retain his office. A good Judge ought to be kept in office. He becomes thoroughly familiar with the duties of the office and can perform them more satisfactorily than a novice unfamiliar with the routine. Many good lawyers do not make good Judges, and many good Judges would not make good practitioners. This has been demonstrated time and again. The Tribune-Herald does not hesitate to condemn the present method of selecting our trial Judges. It should be discontinued. This is a matter of paramount importance—the necessity is pressing for a change. In our opin ion the best method of selecting trial Judges is by appointment by the Su preme Court, in connection with the Governor. It is ail right for Judges of the Su preme and Appellate Courts to be They are not thrown into close contact with litigants and interested parties, and the same re isons do not govern as in the selec tion of Judges of the Superior Courts. Tne Tribune-Herald urges the Repre sentatives from this county to support the bill for changing the manner of ap pointing these Judges. We believe the vast majority of honest and intelligent people are with ub in this matter, and we hope that they will add their voices to ours in demanding this change. The present method is bad. Election by Legislature has frequently been dis cussed, and the concensus «. f opinion among thinking people is in line with the method we have suggested. We hope that the Legislature will take quick and decisive action. Beauty Mora than Skin Deep. A beautiful woman always has good digestion.

He joined Bethel Baptist church at the age of 19, and was a faithful, consecrated mem ber, ready to help the cause in every wiy that he could. His home was al ways open to his pastor and fellow- members. He stood first and last for right, being a man of deep convictions, and in his death the church has lost one of its hest members. Yet we feel that our loss is his eternal gain. As a fath er he was a good provider for his fami ly, and kind and devoted to his wife and children. Our prayers go out to the 1 bereaved ones. We can only point them j to fine who “doetb all things well,” in > their sad bereavement. Jesus will make the rough places smooth if they will j only trust in Him. Bro. Fuller was buried at Bethel cem etery, a great concourse of sorrowing friends attending the funeral. Dr. S. B. Cousins, of Lutherville, who conducted the service, paid a glowing tribute to our deceased brother, after preaching an able sermon. Bro. Fuller leaves a wife, two boys and three girls to mourn their loss. We would say to them, Do not grieve as those wfio have no hope, for “the Lord 1 giveth and the Lord taketh awaj;j blessed be the name of the Lord.” We recommend that this memorial be spread upon our minntes and a copy furnished the family. Respectfully submitted, John H. Miller, J. M. Quigley, Paul Chandler, Committee. Read and adopted in conference July 3, 1915. Obituary. In loving remembrance of little Ralph Maynard, who was drowned on Satur day, May 12, 1915, in a lake near his home, while fishing. He was born Nov. 16, 1907, being 8 years, 5 months and 28 days old at his death. In school Ralph was bright, kind arid j obedient, being a favorite with all who knew him. He was a great lover of the bible. Scarcely a day passed but that he would ask his father or mother to read and explain some portion of the scriptures. On the day before his death he came to hiB father and asked him how he thought it looked in heaven, saying “he wished he could go there and see how it looked and come back and tell them. ” Ifo doubt the angelB were then beckoning him home. To the bereaved parents we extend our keenest sympathy in their loss, anj bow in humble submission 10 the will of Him who “doeth all things well,” remembering that “no affliction seemeth joyous, but grievous, but afterward worketh out a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” Though we miss him sadly, we know his sweet spirit is with Him whom he worshiped and adored above all earthly objectB. His Teacher. FCh HOW LONG ? Newnan Raises a Pertinent Ques tion. When a neighbor tells us that he has recovered from a serious illness, the first question that naturally arises is, “How long will he keep well?” Tem porary relief is one thing, but a last ing cure is altogether different. There is nothing temporary about the work of Doan’s Kidney Pills, as the following evidence proves beyond a doubt. Mrs. H. W. Jennings, 78 Murray St., Newnan, says: “Doan’s Kidney Pills have cured me of severe pains across my hack, weakness in my hips and loins and other annoying kidney ail ments. You can use my indorsement whenever you choose, because I know Doan’s Kidney Pills are worthy of all the praise I give them.” (Statement given Feb. 18, 1911.) On Feb. 15, 1915, Mrs. Jennings said: ‘The cure Doan’s Kidney Pills made for me has been a lasting one and I have had no return of my former triubie.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Jennings had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
