BLECKLEY RESIGNS.
Georgia’s Chief Justice Will Leave the
Supreme Bench.
A LETTER TO GOVERNOR NORTHEN
But the Ju ge Is Firm—Associate Justice
Simmons Will be a Candidate
For the Vacancy. **
Atlanta, Ga., October 13.—Hon. Logan
E. Bleckley, the learned judge who was
for so many years been at the head of
the supreme court of Georgia, today
tendered his resignation to the governor
and it has been accepted.
Judge Bleckley gives as his reasons for
resigning that he feels that he is doing
both the state and himself an injustice
in helping to do, with two associates,
the work that five men at least ought
to do.
He says that he is not resigning on ac
count of his old age, for he is just as
sound in mind and body as he ever was,
although some younger judge might be
more able to give opinions in a faster
manner.
He says that the people are either not
convinced of the necessity of the propos
ed increase, or if convinced, do not care
to better the condition of the court by
adopting the appropriate means.
* Judge Bleckley states that his brethren
are younger and can hold out better
against the wear and tear of the work
than he can and that if he remained
with them he could not hope to rival
them in endurance and his resignation
would have to come sooner or later.
As soon as Governor Northen read
the paper he went at once to see Judge
Bleckley, who was busy at work.
The governor urged Judge Bleckley
to withdraw his resignation.
He refused to do so, ana with a great
deal of emphasis said, as he pointed to
the paper. “Governor, that paper con
tains the truth.”
He refused to withdraw it, as he had
considered it for some time and had
decided upon this course after mature
deliberation.
a The legislature will elect his successor.
His resignation takes effect on the
29th.
The legslatnre meets on the 24th and
on the 29th it will elect judges, and of
course one of the first places to fill will
be that of chief justce of the supreme
court, vacated by Judge Bleckley.
Judge T. J. Simmons, now one of the
associate justices of the supreme court,
will be a candidate for the place.
So far there have been no other can
didates announced.
In case Judge Simmons i- elected to
the place of chief justice, Judge Mar
shall J. Clarke, of Atlanta, will be a
candidate for his place.
Judge Spencer R. Atkinson, of Bruns
wick, will also be a candidate for the
place.
There is time for a number of other
candidates to come to the front between
this and the day of the election, and
they will doubtless come.

Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111., writes
that he had a severe Kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his
back and also affected his bladder. He
tried many so-called Kidney cures but
without any good result. About a year
ago he began the use of Electric Bitters
and found relief at once. Electric Bit
ters is ecpecially adapted to" cure of all
Kidney and Liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. One trial

TO WIN THE PRIZE.
Floyd County’s Exhibit Was Put in the
Cars Last Saturday.
DAYE SHELTON’S EXCELLENT WORK.
Takes Four Cars to Hold the Exhibit—lt
Will Cover Three Thousand
Feet of Space.
If Floyd county doesn’t take the first
prize at the Dixie Inter-state Fair thas
begins at Macon next week, it will be
the first time the Banner county of the
state ever lost, and the first that Dave
Shelton ever witnessed defeat.
A mistaken idea has gone out that
Mr Shelton is trying only for the in
dividual prize. This is wrong, and Mr.
Shelton is trying to pull in the S6OO for
the best county exhibit. All alone Mr.
Shelton has arranged the exhibit; at his
own expense and with what help be
could get from farmers over the county.
The trouble and expense of getting up
the exhibit are all his, and he has been
untiring in his energy.
All day Saturday Mr. Shelton was
busy loading. He will carry four cars
and expected to get away last night or
tonight. The cars are packed with
agricultural products of all kinds. One
hundred and fifty bushels of the finest
corn is part of the exhibit, and along
with it goes ten gallons of whisky made
from Floyd county corn by a Floyd
county still. Another feature is a ba'e
of fine cotton, grown in Floyd, g'nned
in Floyd,wrapped in Floyd county made
bagging, bound by Floyd county made
ties and weighed on scales made in
Fl >yd county. While the prize is for
agricultural products alone, Mr. Shelton
believes in advertising the county, and
has a car of minerals from Floyd and
some products of our numerous factories.
His canned goods exhibit is better than
ever, including 1,000 pieces.
He has applied for 3,000 feet of space,
and will spend this week in arranging
his exhibit in an artistic manner.
The contest for the premiums will be
the hardest in the history of Georgia
(airs and expositions. Thirteen counties
have entered, whereas there were only
nf”e at the Piedmont exposition.
'' What do you think about getting the
........ium?” a Tribune reporter asked
Mr. .iliolton yesterday.
"Oh, I can’t tell,” he replieo. “I
have never failed yet, and have a splen
did exhibit.”
That's about all he said, but it means
i great deal, and you may give odds that
the S6OO will come to Floyd.
