Dr. Spence, representative nom inated in Ware, which means his election, writes to the Breeze and informs us of an important bill for the relief of farmers of this section he has in contemplation. It is hoped Coffee and Clinch will send representatives that can and will co-operate with him. The Breeze regrets exceedingly that the two political factions of the county could not harmonize, and that the populists saw the necessity of putting out a full ticket. We have as many populist patrons as we have democrats, and feel kindly toward them all, but we imagine that a big mistake has been made.

You have perhaps noticed the large, handsome rug at Deen’s Drug Store, which hangs on the wall near the Soda Water Fountain/ It is immense and a very costly one, an ornament to any parlor. It is to be given to the lady who re ceives the highest number of votes, married or single,—each cool drink sold at the fountain calls for a card, you write her name on it, and after 2000 cards are exhausted in this way the lady who receives the highest number of votes has the rug.

He was born in Brunswick thirty-three years ago. After graduating from the schools there, he spent a year or two in the mercantile business with his father. He then took the law course at the state university, graduating in 1892. In 1894 he located at Douglas, Cof fee County, and opened a law office. His rise in the profession has been rapid. In 1895 he became judge of the county court of Coffee, and when the city court was established, judge of that. Last year he declined reappointment in order to devote himself more closely to the practice of his profession. While presiding over the city court of Douglas his reputation*., grew, and when it was known that Judge Bennett would not be a can didate for reelection, his name was prominently mentioned for the place. His friends were anxious for him to enter the race, but he de clined to do so in opposition to his friend Judge Parker, who had an nounced as as a candidate. Judge Dart is an earnest, uncom promising democrat, and for sev eral years has been chairman of the democratic executive committee of the county.
