LET THE PEOPLE HAVE A
SAY.
The press of the state, the week
lies as well as the dailies, is having
much to say regarding the judges
and sclicitors-geueral and the best
mode of choosing them. Not a
few seem to condemn the present
system of electing by the people,
and think that a change to one or
the other systems heretofore ob
taining would be preferable. This
idea in most cases is doubtless bjed
from the sentiment that the judi
ciary should be kept pure and free
from the possible taint of politics.
While it is undoubtedly true that
there are cases where the judiciary
has been put in touch with the de
viousness and abandon of the polit
ical whirl in a way to peril its pur
ity and dignity, yet it need not of
necessity come out the least scathed
by such contact. It is all accord
ing to democratic theory, and the
question is, after all, are the peo
ple to be trusted? The judge c aud
solicitors are of the people, and if
one is put in who proves bad the
people can accomplish his defeat,
if they will, as they can that of any
other official.
In European countries the choice
of the judiciary belongs to the
government, but in democratic
America we have drifted gradually
away from the close methods of
those countries, parts of New En
gland alone holding even partialiy
to the narrower system of the old
countries, and in most of the states
elections by the people for these
offices are in vogue. Investigation
pro.ves that our judiciary is quite
as pure, if not purer than, those
in foreign civilized lands,
Quite fresh in the people’s minds
are the workings of the two sys
tems that have been displaced by
the present in Georgia, appoint
ments by the governor and elections
by the legislature, and both of these
systems were attended with such
abuses that there was a general
clamor for a law allowing the elec
tion of judicial officers by the peo
ple. This system is now in its
experimental stage, and the people,
who demanded it, are going to be
slow in agreeing to a change. It
would require a constitutional
amendment and the attendant vex
atious methods to accomplish a
change, and then it would be to one
or the other system that there are
fixed objections to. We do not
believe a change would be judi
cious. We believe that the people
can be trusted, and they ought to
have their say, and we do not be
lieve that the dignity or purity of
the bench will be more imperiled
and our fountains of justice are
liable to pollution any more from
the present system than any other
that could be resorted to.
If abuses arise and multiply,
which, to any extent that is alarm
ing, to our mind, does not appear
yet, then the judges’ races can be
dissociated from those for other
officers and made separate affairs.
As our primaries are now sup
posed to settle matters, it might be
well to adopt for that the Austra
lian ballot. This would make
practically impossible “heeling,”
vote buying or other objectionable
characteristics that are too often
noticed in our elections.
SCOTT’S
EMULSION
Scott’s Emulsion is the
means of life and of the en
joyment of life of thousands of
men, women and children.
To the men Scott’s Emul
sion gives the flesh and
strength so necessary for the
cure of consumption and the
repairing of body losses from
any wasting disease.
For women Scott’s Emul
sion does this and more. It is
a most sustaining food and
tonic for the special trials that
women have to bear.
To children Scott’s Emul
sion gives food and strength
for growth of flesh and bone
and blood. For pale gilds,
for thin and sickly boys Scmus
Emulsion is a great help.

PHO PD SOCIETY.
BY CARRIE GARNER JONES.
Two June brides have already been
announced, and there are st.ll others
to disclose their secret, if Dame Ru
mor is correct.
Miss Lottie Anderson, whose wed
ding to Mr. Frank Pruden occurs on
June 9th, is one of our most popular
girls, and she is especially sw’eef and
pretty—in tact, attractive in every
way.
Mr. Pruden is a most estimable
young man, prominent in both the
ousiness and social circles of Dalton.
Tin onlv thing Cartersville people
can hold against him is that he takes
his bride away from our city to re
side.
7 Miss Orie Best’s engagement to Mr.
Clark H (iriffin has been announced,
also their marriage, to occur on the
< veiling of June 16tn. This announce
ment occasions much interest, for this
popular young couple have not only
an extended friendship, but a large
relationship throughout the state.
This weddiilg will be a beautiful home
affair, when the bride will wear full
bridal toilet of white and long veil.
Mr. Milton Newman, the magnifi
cent violinist, who so delighted his
hearers here several months ago
in concert, will be in this city again
next Monday night, and has been
prevailed upon to appear before the
Cartersville public again. Mr. New r
man is a business man, and does not
make a practice of playing in the
different cities to w'hich he goes but,
being especially a friend of Mr. and
Mrs. Scheuer, they, and all of those
who hoard him upon his last visit to
this city, have so besieged him to play
in concert he has kindly consented
to do so. Every music loyer of Cart
ersville should hear him, for he is
most certainly a master of his instru
ment, possessing an exquisite touch,
while his interpretations are unsur
passed .
Mrs. Felton Jones was the Euchre
Club’s hostess last week. Roses and
southern smilax were the decorations
for tin's affair, while pink was the
color motif throughout. Mrs. John
(J. Simpson scored the game, for
which, instead of score cards, little
pink,organdy bags, drawn with white
ribb >ns, wen* used, and, as the games
were won, tiny pink candies were
dropped into these bags. During
the game, fruit punch was served,
and afterwards strawberry frappe.

A Sure Thing.
It is said that nothing is sure
but death and taxes, but that is
not altogether true- Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption
is a sure cure for all lung and
throat troubles. Thousands can
testify to that. Mrs. C. B. Van-
Metre of Shepherdtown, W. Va.,
says “I had a severe case of Bron
chitis and for a year tried every
thing I heard of, but got no relief.
One bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery then cured me absolutely.”
It’s infallible for Croup, Whooping
Cough, Grip, Pneumonia, and
Consumption. Try it. It’s guar
anteed by Young Bros. Trial

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Embarrassing Predicament of the Man
Who Forgot.
He entered the shop hurriedly,
with the air of a inan whose mind
was occupied with a weighty com
mission. Those whom he passed at
fhe door recalled afterward that he
was muttering some formula under
his breath as if fearful of forgetting
it. He approached the counter he
roically, yet with the air of one whp
devoutly wished it were well over.
“I want to get,” he began boldly,
“some—some ribbon for a red baby.”
The saleswoman’s blank stare seem
ed to arouse him to a sense of some
thing amiss.
“That is,” he hastily amended, “I
should like some baby for red rib
bed”—
The girl was smiling broadly now,
and two cash boys, a floorwalker
and several customers of feminine
persuasion who had drawn nearer
involuntarily smiled in unison.
“That is—of course, you know”—
He was getting desperate. “I mean
some red ribbed —that is—some red
ribs for a baby—some baby—red
ribs —some thunder and guns!
Where’s the way out?”
“I wonder,” the saleswoman said
thoughtfully after the lapse of an
hour or two, “if he could have want
ed some red baby ribbon?”—New
York Times.
An Ideal Touch.

touch now since I’ve been studying

What Some Girls Fear.
Captain Lamb of Richmond while
telling how he was often mistaken
for Representative Lacey of lowa,
whose bill stopped game selling and
shipments, inserted this:
“Lacey’s a mighty fine fellow, al
though he is a Republican. He can
brag too. “Why,” and the Virgin
ian chuckled audibly, “we were over
in Wilmington together not long
ago. Lacey was bragging to me
about what a splendid country there
is in lowa.
“ ‘Do you know,’ said he, ‘there
never was such a fertile soil any
where else on this earth ? It is so
rich that the girls will not walk over
the newly plowed ground. They
know it will make their feet grow.’ ”
—Pittsburg Gazette.
Never Catches Up.
“I begin to understand why Char
ley always loses on the races,” said
young Mrs. Torkins.
“Indeed!” said the unsympathetic
friend.
“Yes. He is so busy explaining
how he lost the last race that he nev
er gets time to make proper calcula
tions on the next,”— Washington
Star.
All He Could Endure.
“That Boston man who offered
a tramp a good breakfast if he
would split wood for a half hour
got the worst of the bargain.”
“Didn’t the tramp split the
wood ?”
“No. All he split was a couple
of infinitives, and the Boston man
let it go at that.”—Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Good Advice.
“He said he would lay the world
at my feet,” said the impressionable
girl.
“Tell him to start with something
easy,” answered Miss Cayenne. “Tell
him to look after the house rent
and the grocer bill and never mind
the world for a few years yet.”—
