That there ia a widespread, almost universal contempt for law cannot be questioned by anybody who has his eyes and ears and mind open. And this ia the peril of the situation. What one man thinks may be of little weight in the community; what the whole community, or a majority of it, be lieves is quite another matter. It is unnecessary to point out the dangers of this popular contempt for law. One who cannot see these dan gers would not see them even if pointed out to him. But herein lies the peril. The man who takes his opinions altO' gether from his neighbors and does no thinking on his own account, is blind and doesn't know it. That this contempt for law leads to lawlessness and the lax enforcement of law is as logical as cause and effect; and this crop of evils is prolific of many other evils. Evil not only produces its liko; it multiplies Bpecies, if it does not originate new genera. A man who has contempt for law will have no respect for anything sacred. Who is responsible for this contempt of law? People generally are in part responsible for it. There are not many disputes or differences between neigh bors that might not be settled out of court. And yet when men become an gered they rush into court with mat ters that are as small as the disputes of children. The number of trifling cases that havo been docketed and tried in the courts of Georgia, from Justice Courts all the way to the Supreme Court, irmktt up a catalogue of absur dities thnt would be amusing if it were not so seiious. Take, for instance, the disputes thut have gone into the courts about land linos. These suits have cost litigantB many times more than the land in question was worth. Much of this attitude of the people towards law is justly chargeable to law yers. There ore, of couro, many hon est and conscientious lawyers: but no profession is more discounted by un worthy members than the legal profes sion. Even unworthy preachers do not discount the ministry more than un worthy lawyers discount the gentlemen of the bar, and, unfortunately, the law itBelf. The impression haB gotten abroad that the worst criminal can escape justice entirely, or at leaBt de lay the enforcement of the law against hlm'indeflnitely, if he can only put up •enough money to carry the case through all the courts. Every man charged with the violation of law has a right to a fair trial and the services of an attorney; but to shield a guilty man from punishment by legal quibbles and technicalities is in itself a crime, whether the law calls it auch or not. That thore are many loopholes in the laws of the land whereby guilty men can escape punishment ia also a matter of common knowledge. These ought to be closed up. LITERARY PATRIOTISM. The Ad. Men's Club of Atlanta gave Frank L. Stanton, tho Georgia poet, a banquet the other evening. One of the features of the occasion was a move ment to have a “Stanton Day" in the schools of the State; and it was sug gested that the last Friday in October be selected as the day. This is a step which appeals to every well-informed Georgian. Of course, we are not, as a people, utterly lacking in patriotism, but wedu lack literary patriotism. Our children are made familiar with Whittier, Low ell and Longfellow through the books we put into their hands, but are not made acquainted so fully with our own Southern poets. New England writers exploit New England authors and New England literature, which of course they have a perfect right to do, and for good reason; but Southern writers are ignored, or at best given scant atten tion in our school books. And yet South ern writers have been pioneers in some of the beBt literary work of the day. Edgar Allan Poe was the originator of the de tective story and the author of possibly the finest poem ever written by an American, “The Raven." O. Henry, the recognised master in his lifetime as the leading ahort-Btory writer of hia day, was a native of North Carolina. In every department of literature the South has had a worthy representative. And no literary geolus among us ia more entitled to the honor of a day in our schools than Frank L. Stanton. Ho is a Georgia poet dis tinctively. He is true to the soil. Hie verses are not modeled after the poetry of Old England nor New Eng land. Writing as much as he writes, of course he does not write real poetry every day he makes his contributions to the Atlanta Constitution. But now and then he sends out a poetic, gem, and all he writes is bo full of the sun niest optimism that one always feels better for reading hia simple rhymes. We need more literary patriotism. WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS The nervous system is the alarm Bystem of the human body. In perfect health we hardly renlb-e that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declin ing, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritability and unless corrected, leads straight to a breakdown. To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul sion Is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to its refresh ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol. Scott St Bownc, Bloomfield, N. J. At the meeting of the State Demo cratic Executive Committee on Satur day last it wbb decided to hold b State Convention at Macon on May 3, to select delegates to the National Democratic Convention, which meets in St. Louia on June Id. Georgia will be entitled to twenty-eight delegates, two from each Congressional district and four from the State-at-large. Delegates to the State Convention will be appointed by the County Executive Committees of the several counties—two delegates for each Representative to which the coun ties are entitled in the General As sembly. The Relegates from Coweta to the State Convention will be appoint ed when the County Executive Com mittee meets on March 23 to consoli date the returns of the primary elec tion. Meriwether Vindicator: “There is no place on earth better than a country newspaper office to loarn the different kinds of people there are. Some get huffy if a statement is sent them; others will not pay until they receive a statement. Some will pay without a statement, and others will not pay whether a statement is sent or not. Some thought they uwed more and Borne thought they didn’t owe so much. Some say they couldn’t get along with out the paper, and others say it does not amount to much. But the meanest and scrubbiest in the list is the man who takes it until he is shut off for non payment, and then spendB half his time explaining how 'he used to take the thing, but Btopped it because it was no ’count.”’ Dawson News: "According to re ports that have every indication of authenticity Hon. Hugh Dorsey will be a candidate for Governor, and his an nouncement may bo expected in the next few days. Mr. Dorsey’s record as Solicitor-General of the Atlanta cir cuit proves him to be a man of ability and resourcefulness. People in all sec tions of the State have urged him to become a candidate, and his entry will complicate the situation. That be will be a strong factor in the contest there is no reason to doubt."
