The election of magistrates Sat urday closed one of the most stren uous years in th< history of Georgia polities. When Joseph M. Brown began to bull the political market early in the spring there were not ten men in the slate who Udieved he could kindle a tire. However, there were no lines, save the color line, and such an enormous fire was huilded under the old pot that she I toiled over and washed away precedent by refusing (inventor Smith an en dorsement term. This left matters in such an agi tated state that the freak politicians —Watson, Graves, Tapp- -appeared upon the s*olo to take advantage .f what they believed to be the wreckage. But the voters of Geor gia would have none of their isms, md landed them all in the political grave yard. The Pack-handed slap adminis t< red to James G. W oodwal'd, the j nominee of the mongrel white pri mary for the mayoralty of Atlinta, was a fitting finish to the ten months ol ,and ivnneisity• The voters now m \v out upon the sea of political peace and are to have a year of perfect rest. In view of the fact that the Ninth Congressional district went re-pub lican in the national election, it seems to us the part of wisdom I>i the counselors of democracy to us< this breathing spell to build ten rail fence around the party.
