THANKS HIS FRIENDS.
Judge Fite Talks of His Race and Judi
cial Matters.
Judge Fite and his many friends
are very much gratified at the result
of the primary so far as the judge
ship is concerned.
In an interview with the editor of
The News he said:
“Of course I am very grateful to my
friends, and have no unkind words
for those who opposed me. It was
the hardest fight I have ever had, and
the greatest victory I have ever won;
and I owe this great victory to the in
dividual efforts of my friends, for, as
you know, I had no organization, nor
campaign fund. The people will al
ways do right when they know the
facts, and there is no danger in the
path of duty.
“What do I think about our judicial
system? Why it is the most expen
sive of that of any state in the union,
considering our wealth and popula
tion and is gradually growing more
so. Twenty-five years ago we had
only eighteen superior court judges,
five city court judges and three su
preme court judges and now we have
twenty-five superior court judges,
sixty seven city court judges, costing
more than all the superior court
judges, and nine supreme court judges
including*the judges of the court of
appeals. My! my! just think of it,
and litigation but little more if any
than it was twenty-five years ago.
What is my remedy? Why I would
“Ist. Increase the jurisdiction of
the justices’ court to three hundred
dollars principle including trover
oases. Allow appeals to the super
ior courts in all cases of law and face
where the principal is one hundred
dollars or more, and appeals in jus
tices’ court in all cases of law and
fact where the principal is less than
one hundred dollars. Allow certior
aries in all cases of law, and in all
other cases after appeals to juries in
justices’court, and provide that the
superior couits shall be courts of
last resort for all certiorari cases not
involving constitutional questions.
“2nd. Abolish all city courts, and
increase the number of superior
court judges, if necessary, to do the
work, and inerease.and arrange the
circuits so as to equalize the work of
the judges. And also provide that
solicitors general may prefer accu
sations in all misdemeanor cases
where the defendents have been
bound over by committal courts
or have waived committal trials.
“3rd. Abolish the court of appeals
and divide the supreme court into two
divisions —civil and criminal if neces
sary—and require them to sit jointly
in all cases involving constitutional
questions.
“This would simplify and make the
practice more uniform, and in my
judgment, would save the state
many thousand dollars annually.”
OFF FOR BIRMINGHAM.

The novelty of a base ball game
played at night carried a crowd of
of at least five hundred people to the
base ball perk Monday night. The
Cherokee Indians put in appearance
as advertised and played the locals
their first game Monday afternoon.
The red skins came heralded for their
prowess and it was rather a surprise
to the fans to see the home boys
score atriumpli, although our team
never did better playing. The score
stood six to nothing in favor of Car
tersville.
At night all was speculation as to
how the players would get hold of
the sphere in the dim shadows where
it might by chance go beyond the
thirty two indifferently twinkling
acetyline lights that hung above the
diamond. The first twirl, however,
shoved away all doubt, as the ball
wi-8 a large cumbersome one of india
rubber, and hollow at that, much the
same as the toy balls bought for
children. It went out of the diamond
only a few times. Captain Shorty
Vernon was really puzzled and when
the ball came his way he would feel
industriously around in space for
its whereabouts and it would finally
carom off his head out on to the
ground and the runner would get
his base and the spectators a laugh
on Shorty’s awkwardness. He finally
gave positive orders that he wanted
no more balls thrown in his direction.
There were only seven innings
played, in which the visitors, of
of course, won. The game was a
good boost for base ball and heigh
tened the already rapidly developing
interest in the game. In the ab
sence of anv other amusements peo
ple learn to love base ball after a few
times witnessing of games. The
ladies seem to learn the game rapidly
and take as much interest as those
of the other sex.
Cartersville has been playing some
good ball this season. The last three
games have been successive shut outs.
The boys play Dalton tomorrow.
The game will be called at 3:30. Dal
ton always has a good team and an
interesting game is promised.

GOV. SMITH TALKS.
Governor Smith gave out the fol
lowing statement Friday at noon:
“I wish to thank my fellow citizens
who voted for me on yesterday for
the zealous and unselfish support
they gave to the principles for which
I stand. I will not atthis time discuss
the forces that brought about tem
porary defeat.
‘•These principles are as sound
and necessary to good government
in the future as they were when ap
proved at the ballot box two years
ago. Time will vindicate them.
“While we accept the result as
conclusive for the present year, we
will not lose courage, we must seek
still to ratify the disfranchisement
at the October election. *
“We must remain steadfast in our
devotion to purity in elections and
government and to the rights of the
masses of the people.”
