2 JUDGE SVMMES DEFENDS CHITS ♦ Well Known Attorney has Something to Say of Cases WHY 1 HEY TAKE IP TIME Say* People Should not Criticise the and Courts Because Con siderable Time is Taken to Dispose of Cases. Editor Brunswick News, Dear Sir:—l noticed in your paper a morning or two ago that very lit tle business was being done at. this session of the court, and I noticed in your issue of tills morning that the case of Sherman Jones against the Brunswck & Birmingham Railroad Cot, in which you chronicled that I was ■anv'ong the lawyers engaged in it, had been the longest ever tried in this county. I am sure that you would not do the Judge nor the bar nn injustice knowingly, and as your references mentioned might do one or the other or both, I hope you will give me space in your valuable journal to say that there has been as much business done at this session of the superior court as has been done at any session of the same length within my memory and I have been a prac titioner in the court nearly thirty years. I want to say further that within my experience not one, hut numbers and numbers of civil cases have con sumed more time in the trial than did the case above mentioned. Bet me say further that while this ease con sumed nearly two days, it was real ly disposed of In a very brief time. There were a great, number of witness es in the case, and a number of warm ly contested, important issued, and it was with remarkable dispatch that the case was tried within the time It was. I want to say further that I have noticed a growing tendency, both up on the part of the people and the press, to demand short and hasty In vestigations and trials. This Is a great mistake. Cases must be tried when they are carried into the courts; cases will be carried to the courts so long as there arc dlMree-. ments between, men; there wi > such disagreements as long as >e world stands; and the only way to try them properly Is to hear them J ,!UR I '' ly and investigate them carefullly; tty brown & CO Contractors, Manufacturers, an J hippers of Railway Crossties and Dealers in YELLOW PINE LUMBER f i Brunswick, Ga.

It takes lots of time to do this; it takes lot of time to patiently, fully and honest ly hear any case—hear what each party has to say; hear what bis wit nesses have to say; and there can he no correct result reached until there has been a full hearing, if more time was consumed in patient investigation instead of the rapid, sixtv-milo-an-hour gait that seems to be demanded 01 the courts, there would he fewer ap peals to the supreme court. A court should hot he criticized be cause it listens with patience—the only way to decide with understanding is to listen with patience. A court should he commended that it patiently listens and diligentliy enquires. 1 beg to remain, very truly yours, Courtland Symmes, December, 16, 11)03. Grand Master to Visit Rebekahs.

"I hope you will write your name in my album before you go,” she said. “With pleasure,” he replied, and, taking a pen, he wrote his name in the book. “Thanks,” she said, “hut won’t you please toll nie your profession, so that I can write it after your name?” “Oil. put down 'landowner,he an swered. "But Unit isn't a profession,” she said. “Well, then, put down ‘academi cian,’ ” was his answer. These words seemed to puzzle her, and therefore he asked with a smile, “Don't you know what an academician is?” “No, not quite,” she answered, “but it's such a long word that the profes slon must he a splendid one.” Kill Aecorillliur to Sluiki-spenre. A Segto amateur dramatic society was attempting to give a performance of “Othello.” In the scene where Othel lo demands u handkerchief from Dcs domomi there was a startling interrup tion from one of the audience. When the time came for the scone, the negro who was playing the part of Othello bawled out, “Desdemonie, gib me dat han'kerehif 1” , No reply. “Desdemonie, 1 say gib me dat hun’- kercliif!” Still silence. “Desdemonie, fob de third time, gib me dat han'kerehif!’’ t But she wouldn't do It. j Thereupon an old negro among the spectators, tired of the apparent slow ness, spoke up and said, “Ah, wipe yo’ nose on yo’ cole sleeve, nlggah, an’ let 1 de shmv go on!”—New York Tribune.
