Well, we have read Walker's seech
at the convention, and it read just
like all the balance of them we have
ever rend. He makes his promises,
and he will never be able to get them
through. They were good to get the
votes on, but that will be about all
they can do. We hope, however, he
will be able to put them over, but! get to the

n word for the judge, too, as he is
up against it. He knows that he is
charging a grand jury that is going
to play cheap politics, when they
ought to take his charge, get the
good law out of it, and enforce it.
All in all, why not open court with
prayer, for three-fourths of all the
folks that go to court are looking
for mercy. None of them want jus
tice, because if they had justice they

we are glad to see that the courts are
going to get some one with better
right to do it than us. But we are
compelled to say that we feel Judge
Custer is right in opening court with
prayer, for everybody that attends
needs it, and the tax payers most of
all.

Oh well, Howard’s getting out of
the race wil not hurt or help any
one at nil, for he could not have car
ried a county in the state outside of
his own. He nmy not get a lick at
any votes,but if there is anything
else around he will grab it. We have
never had any faith in him since he
ran around over the state trying to

Hardwick announces for the senate
and appoints Mrs. Felton the senator-
ess for the unexpired term. But wo
don’t believe that it* will work. Wo
don’t believe the women of the state
will take the sop. We don’t think ho
played good politics, for the women
know that he has only given Mrs.
Felton an empty honor, though it may
have the effect of getting some votes
for the Democratic purty in the
doubtful states. It may be good nat
ional politics, but we doubt the effi
ciency from a state political stand
point.

It makes you tired to read in the
papers the numerous mention of the
“brave act” of the governor in apl
pointing Mrs. Felton senator. The
governor did not play that game po
litically. He knew that it was only
an honorary thing, and he gave it to
Mrs. Felton because of her great use
fulness in time past to the state, and
because of her national standing. It
was merely a good advertising
scheme for the state. Mrs. Felton
really ought not to have the thing at
all. She was culled to Florida by a
Republican president for consultation
ns to how to build up a Republican
party in Georgia. She is not even a
Democrat, nnd we see nothing brave
in it. She is an able woman, and it

Georgia so greatly needs. Capable
