••Our Choice.”
Last week the Breeze caused
consternation in camp by putting
forward the name of Col. F. W.
Dart for next Solicitor of the Brun
swick circuit. It was like drop
ping a pebble into a lake of smooth,
calm water, the waves widening
from Douglas to Brunswick and
from Baxley to St. Marys, and
causing a gentle ripple that did
not fail to convince the observer
that the surface had been disturbed.
“What will you do for a City court
Judge in the event of Judge Dart’s
election as Solicitor?” was asked
us the other day.
Nothing easier to answer, be
cause while Douglas is a small
place it is never-the-less well sup
plied with legal talent, among
which are several that would make
creditable judges. Col. \Y . W.
McDonald, of the firm of Quincey
& McDonald would make an excel
lent judge, and would perhaps be
acceptable to the masses, were it
not construed into an attempt to
break up the splendid practice of
the firm by his seizure as judge,
inasmuch as one member of the
firm. Mr. Osteen, has recently been
appointed .solicitor of the City
court, and his appointment would
leave Mr. Quincey out in the world
alone.
But we have other timber whose
selection would sever no bonds.
Judge C. A. Ward, Jr., one of the
purest men, skillful lawyer, polish
ed gentleman tliat ever drew a
breath would find but little oppo
sition, and as he has done before,
would grace the Bench with honor
and dignity.
Besides the gentlemen mentioned
above we have one other in reserve,
who would fill the bill to perfection,
in the event of Judge Dart’s ad
vancement, which is only a ques
tion of time. The gentleman whom
we have in our mind’s eye is in
every way qualified, a splendid ex
ecutive officer, a deep thinker,
learned in the law, conscientious
and honest, devoid of trickery
or deceit, of good moral character,
perfect gentleman, and such a man
is His Honor Mayor J. J. Walker.
If He Was Spotlswood Spotless.
Hon. J. R. McDonald, Repre
sentative from Ware, in a recent
letter says :
“And again I see that Hon. J.
W. Bennett, now Solicitor of the
Brunswick circuit, will be in the
race for re-election to the same
office. If he was only “Spottswood
spotless” it would be much more
satisfactory to the voters of Ware
county. Explain this John so we
can all understand about that one
hundred dollars and republican
bossism over democratic voters,”
Gaskin's Bicycle Path.
It must he admitted that Mr,
Gaskin has done the fair thing for
the bicyclists in building at a good
deal of expense, the splendid bicy
cle path and foot-ways that lead to
the Spring, and we feel sure any
fair minded man will help him
bear the expense.
After the first of October tickets
for the month or quarter will be
sold. For the round trip ten cents
will be charged, by the month 50c,
for one quarter, $1.25. Tickets
can he had at the Breeze office or
from Mr. Gaskin at the end of
foot-way at the Spring. The
Breeze has no interest in the mat
ter except lo help Mr. Gaskin in
this enterprise which is so much
enjoyed by us when we are able
to walk, and it is thought every
one who believes in fairness and
are able to pay will do so cheer
fully, thus lending their aid
in keeping the path in order. Of
course those who never use it will
not he expected to pay anything,
and there is no wav of compelling
any one, but justice and fairness it
seems ought to actuate every one
in doing what is right.
