One of the best weeklies in Georgia
that reaches our sanctum is the Mari
etta Journal.—Jasper Progress.
The Rome papers some times jump
on Marietta about her politics, but just
now Rome has four candidates for
mayor, and a red-hot time is expected.
The State Department has been ad
vised by Consul-General Denby, at
Shanghai, Chins, of the destruction of
the American Presbyterian school prop
erty as a result of tax riots in northern
Chekiang, China.
Roosevelt's message seems to have
been an atteck on the Republican party.
That message ought to be good cam- ‘
paign ammunition to fire into the
“Grand Old Party.”” Turn the rascalu‘
out. e LR ‘
Senator Teller says he predicts that
the Panama canal will cost $500,000,000,
and that it will prove a failure as a
gea-locks canal, and will be abandoned ;
that only a sea-level canal can accom
wodate the world’s commerce.
A New York exchange has printed
the story of a young man who shot him
self “in the basement.”” Presumably,
says the Washington Post, the would
be suicide noticed how many men made
a boteh of it by shooting themselves in
an empty atic.
At Qanon, rracklin county, Ga., on
last Friday, eleven ladies vigited the
school and horse-whipped the teacher,
Dr. Bailey, forbidding him to teach.
The trustees re-instated him, and he
taught. There is a great uproar there
about it.
The Boston Herald picks this gem
from out Secretary Taft’s recentspeech :
“If President, Roosevelt says a thing, it
is so; if he doesn’t, it isn’t.”’ No dis
loyalty there; perfect discipline.—
Washington Herald.
Why shouldn’t he be obedient to his
boss? And thatiz the reason Roose
velt is for Taft. He knows he will obey
him.
GROVES—MIMS.
Migs Sallie Groves, of this city, and
Dr. Frank Mims, of Secriven county,
Georgia, were married at the home of
the bride’s mother, Mrs. W F. Groves,
on lest Wednesday morping, February
sth. Dr.J.H Patton performed the
ceremony. It was a very quiet affair,
only the relatives and a few friends be
ing present.
The happy couple left immediately
for the home of the groom in Seriven
eounty.
Mrs W F Groves accompanied them,
where she will reside.
We extend our congratulations and
good wishes

AN USUSUALLY GOOD AD.
B. H. Bostain Co., Marietta, Ga.—A
very pleasing and artistic double page
newspaper comes from this firm. A
most attractive feature illustration is
used in the heading and this adds a
great deal to the appearance of the ad.
Several fashion illustrations are used
throughbut the ad. The copy is well
written and uniformly displayed. There
is plenty of white space surrounding
the type matter, which brings it out
very strongly. This is an unusually
good ad. for a country printing office to
warn out.—St. Louis Dry Goodsman and
General Merchant.

| STATE PRIMARY JUNE 4TH.
Thursday, J une 4th, has been selected
by the Democratic State Executive
Committee of Georgia as the date for
holding the approaching Democratic
primary for the election of United
States senator and all State house of
ficers.
Tuesday, June 284, was named as the
date for holding the State convention,
in tke hall of the House of Representa- i
tives, at 10 a. m., at which time the
nominees are to be announced and dele
gates to the National convention from
Georgia to Denver are to be elected.
The committee provided that a ma
jority vote will be necessary in future,
instead of a plurality, as heretofore,
and made provisions for a second pri
‘mary to be held between the two high
est candidates for any State house of
fice on Wednesday, June 17th.
The committee further provided that
all succes:zful candidates, both State
and county, shall be compelled to file
with their respective executive com
mittees an itemized statement as to
their campaign expenditures, where the
money was derived from and how ex
pended.
All legally qualified white voters
registered ten days in advance of the
primary, may vote if they promise to
abide the result.
OPPOSED TO IT.
We have always been opposed to the
plan of electing judges and eolicitors
by the people. A majority of the voters
of this courty cast their ballots against
the ratification of the amendment to
the constitution when the question was
up. and we do not believe there has
been anything done to cause them to
change their minds.
Remove from the question that mis
leading sentiment, ‘‘the people know
how to rule,”” and the method of elect
ing judges and solicitors will be changed
as quickly as a law can be enacted.
It has frequently been said that there
are abler men on the city court bench
than on the superior court bench. If
this is true, it is because the governor
has the appointment of c¢ity court
judges. He should appoint the superior
court judges as well.—Dublin Courier-
Dispatch. ’
The newspapers are gpeaking out in
opposition to the election of judges and
solicitors by the people. They have
seen that it doesn’t get any better ma
terial, and subjects these officers to
suspicion in the performance of their
duties, to say nothing of having to cater
to the prejudices of every voter. It
was a mistake, and ought to be cor
rected.
DEATH OF REV. NELSON GEORGE.
Our people were saddened on last
Tuesday morning to learn of the death
of Rev. T M. N. George, rector of St.
James Episcopal Church, of Marietta.
Mr. George had been in failing health
for a number of months, unable to fill
his pulpit. He took treatment at an
Atlanta sanitorium and received some
‘benefit, but not sufficient to give en
couragement. He came home several
weeks ago, where he received the best
attention. Hisdeath occurred Tuesday
morning at 2 o’clock. He was 51 years
of age, and leaves a wife and four chil
dren—three sons, Nelson, Robert and
Frank, and one daughter, Miss Elmer.
He left three sisters, Mrs. John 8.
Candler, Misses Ruth and Virginia El
mer, all of Atlanta, and three brothers,
Rev. James H. George of Newton,
Conn., Rev. Francis George, of Rock
ville, Conn., and Rev. Wm, Elmer, of
Crange, Va., the brothers being Epis
copal ministers. His father was also
an Episcopal minister and resided in
Marietta many years. |
Rev. Nelson George came to Mariet- |
ta from Newbern, N. C, and succeeded
Rev.C. T. A. Pise, and has served the
Chureh here three years loyally.
He was a most excellent man, a fine
preacher, and a gentleman of quiet de
meanor, greatly esteemed by all who
knew him.
The funeral will be held at the Epis
copal churech Thursday afternoon at 2
o’clock. Interment in [Episcopal cem
etery.
Our people deeply sympathise with
the family in their hour of sorrow.
A CONVINCING ARGUMENT.
The following from the Atlanta Geor
gian does not need much comment. It
shows a condition of affairsin Atlanta
which was probably not dreamed of six l
months Bgo, before the prohibition law
went into effect: ;
“When the big ‘red’ bird’ stockade
wagon rolled away from the police sta
tion Friday afternoon at 3 o’elock bear
ing four lonely prisoners to the stock
ade to work out their fines, the main
prison department was left absolutely
empty.
*“The shades of night had already
fallen before another arrest had been
made and the prison had received an
‘other vecupant. Nothing could show
‘more clearly the effect of prohibition
upon a city’s erime.
~ “The matron’s ward was =iso empty,
‘and this situation still prevails Satur
day in that department. Across in the
police station anuex, in which is sit
uated the juvenile ward, two little ne
gro boys were confined st the time the
main prison was empty.
. *This has never before been known in
the history of the police station.”
A few blind tigers that may sneak
around in the dark will never produce
the crime that bar-rooms did.
