Rev. Irl Hicks, the renowned weath¬

The grand jury of Terrell county has
given a strong endorsement to Solici¬
tor-General Shellield to he the stieees
sor on the bench of the Pataula cir
euit of Judge James Griggs.
The Waycross Herald says that
Judge (iriggs and Jesse Walters, two
silverites, will both run against Men
Russell for congress in the second dis
trict. It will retjuire more than two
silver men to heal the aforesaid Men
jamin.

The Georgia Legislature adjourned
sine die last Wednesday. There was
a lot of good work done, while there 1
some wise measures and needed legis- i
latiou thill, was defeatetl or overlooked.
Sueli negligence, however, was more
than offset by the killing of a lot of
foolish and baneful stulT urged by the
cranky element of that body.
it is Terrell county's lime lo supply
the slab - senator from Ibis district in
next legislature, and a writer in 1 ho
Dawson News suggests that Hon. <).
M. Stevens is the man for the place.
Well, “Barkis is willin'.” If we un¬
derstand Mr. Stevens' position on the
financial question, being O. K. other¬
wise, he is pretty sound limber. Trot
him out.
It is not improbable that the
la judicial circuit may he enlarged by
the next legislature, by the addition
of two neighboring counties Stewart
and Webster, now in the Southwestern
circuit. l! is claimed tlial.Judge Fish
has more business in tin* Southwestern
circuit than lie can attend to and il is
proposed to relieve him hy transferring
two of the counties to Pataula.

Ihe lull pro\nhng tot . the . increase
of the number of supreme com t judges
uliieh passed both houses ol the leg
islature. just before its adjournment,
u ill he submitted to the people
rilitleation. The fact that the lull
lcquiies that these judges shall be
elected by the people, ought to make
U more popular than the one upon
which they voted at the last general
election, and it is hoped that they will
give if their endorsement.

la his remarks ou the Mush hill Mr,
Hodges, of Mibb, held that it struck at
the fundamental principles of domoc
racy. He tlcnted that sixty per cent.
of the convicts came from the “wet" ..
counties, atui t bat sixty pci cent, oi
the lunatics came from the same conn
ties. He said fort v per cent, of the
convicts in this area were convicted
for burglary. . He contrasted the drunk
rnness or “wet” ami-dry” eitms and
sixty per cent, of the taxes exclusive
of liquor revenue last year.
