Bnt wbeo we rote for governor and supreme ooart judges, we have to M governed largely by what the newspapers print and the politician* tell, wJbloh la not elway* correct, fer they don't elway* know themaelvc*. If the people are not competent to rote for the oironit judge* whom they know how can they rote for the governor and ■apreme court judge* whom they do not know. The superior oourt judge to my mind 1* the moat Important offloer that our people have, for their moral and ma terial welfare it largely in hi* hand*. Who doe* not know that hi* charge to tlie Grand Jury hi* ruling* in oourt and hi* interpretation of the law to the petit jury hat a great influence with the fine verdict. He thould be a man that ha* their welfare at heart and alao that to them alone it he responsible for hi* of fice for it i* their money, and not *ome autocrat from afar that pay* hi* salary. Now Mr. Editor if the people thould not elect their most important offloer* what officers should they eleot. The contention whether so intended or not argues that a republican form of government is a failure * because forsooth corruption sometimes pollntesour elections. Why not enforoe the law and abolish corrup tion instead of abolishing election? The proposition reduced to it* last analysis means down with the republic, np with ELECTION OFJUDCE&' Editor Times-Enterprise: Sinoe the contest for the nomination for Judge between Gober »nd Morris in their judicial circuit 1 have been wish ing and hoping that some citlxen would take Issue with yon a* to the best man ner of making Judges in this state,of our superior court*. Having been on the re- tired list for some time so far a* parti san politic* is concerned and having a desire to remain so, I have this far hesi- ltated in taking you to task in thi* im portant matter,, Bnt since yonr timely editorial, "JudicUl Danger,” in which mer ones, I feel, that as a citizen (and not a partisan) loyal as I trust to the best interests of my country, that to im portant a question should receive more than a passing notice, and I hoped that some one more competent than myself would oome to the defense of the present system, that of the people electing them by direct vote. The only fault that I find in the present law is it* final vote having to be taken by the state at large instead of each judicial circuit. Now a woid about the contest in iNorth Geor gia, in which two noted politicians measured strength, and each were charged by the pulpit and the press of bribery and corftption, for whloli rea son the pres* has raised an almost unan NEW COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONES tm-x- ■ SilS CONGRATULATIONS, ville is the better for their having been here. There it no agpncy in dzistence more effective for bringHig cooperation 'between Thomairilie and* the county 4fcan the school teachers* They urein every case the influential citizen* of their community, end tlseir opinion* are i those of their patrons. They are ae earcfplAnd painstakingly conscientious a body of people as Oould be brought to gether. What they think they say without fear nor favor and what they > say they think. For this reason, and. broause of the .great oaote that they represent, Thom- Mvtlle is to be congratulated on the generous raeointions Aiopted by the in stitute Friday. It is| to be regretted that the attendance of the public at 'the, carious of the touchers was not tar get; tlie paper* read were of unusual excellence, end any individual in Thom- •asville would have been well repaid for hie time in attending. The paper of Use Gibson in today’s Timee-Enter- prise is a specimen of the work pro duced. Because of lie timely subject and general application it will bn of particular Interest to the reading pnb- llc. It' haa been a pleasure to Thamasvffle to entertainrthe teachers and we all aland ready to back them np in word and deed in their sacrificing efforts to upbuild our people. The death of Hon. Henry G. Turner of Quitman remove# one of the greatest -fleurgiansof modem times. Mr. Tum or was a statesman who was not a poll Man, and lie gained his immense pow <nr in national as well as state affaire through the sheer weight of his ability and honest determination. Quitman’s 1am is oar loss and our loss is America’s loss, s^ihls services to Georgia in our «wn legislature os well ae in tlie nation al eongreee the qualities of a statesman thrust him shove the oommon level as e mountain top above a morning clond. -St. Julian Renfro, the youug Shtave port man who was'stricken deaf and dumb on May 81 immediately after de nying the existence of a God, is now a convert. He was argblug religion with 'several comrades who were Christians, and to strengthen Ids denial of the so- preme being, lie invoked the power to strike him dumb if it could. Just as hae fievuentiy been the case before un der similar oircntnstances, his defiance was given it* just reward. -*T ie paper ra^d by Miss Gibeou before tlie reseller* institute, ou Moral Instruc tion, nonlnlnt food for thought.

Now Mr. Editor, you say i mooh more that oonld be aaid on this newspapon and politicians to hatch pub lic opinion enongh to force the repeal of tlie law simply because Gober’s old ma chine that was established long before tlie present law was unacted has not been broken np. J. 8. Wakd Jit. The New York Packer maintains that betweeu 5,000 and 0,000 cars of Georgia peaches will be shipped. 1,250 cars will oomofrom Ft. Valley alone.

In ( Ur ®° this I agree with yon, because being ap- j pointed the appointing power might be in the hands of a despot. His satellites would be appointed and rale She people with an iron hand. Now to my mind a despot in a state it no better than one in the nation. The only difference being in his sphere, the one in the state being oloeer to the people and calculated to do the most harm. Now I wont to say be fore I go farther,that this it not intend ed as a fling at yon or your paper, nor at .large number of honest ;icople who do not believe at I do, that the superior court judge* should ho eteeteil by popu- ular vote. 1 do not kuow whether there pro yet those that favor the legislature eleutlug them or uot. The pres, told so much about the barter and trading of that system, that I reckon they are ashamed to own it. If there ure, how ever I will say here, that it is the next nearest thing to the direct vote of the people. Somo good men favor appoint ment by the Governor and confirma tions by the senate. How wonld this be with a machine politician for governor, and possibly a corporation ruled senate ? Bateveu this I think, Mr. Editor, would he better than your proposition to have them appointed by the supreme court of the state. You say that they are free from corruption, or something to that effect. Now to my niind|iiothing would lead to the corruption of tho peoples Court of last resort so quickly nsj to give them tho poworjto appoint the oircuit judges. Men of questionable i.harai:t?r aud ability would reach the supreme bench by premising the judgeship to cheap lawyers for servioea rendered in wlnepiug them up uud fooling the peo ple iu electing them to the supreme bench. This ’iu my humble opinion would be the ultimate outcome of such system, tlie corruption of both courts, who like Oaesar’r-wife, should be above suspicion. I favor tlie people lu each circuit electing them because •icy have a bettor chance to know some thing of the personality of tlie man, be have Florida's new governor was once cook on it steamboat. He will dish np aome hot messes iu professional style for his euemiei. Let us hope that tho sweet girl grad' uate won't turn sour through inability to get a husband or n jiositioii.
