A man who prefers a oily week¬
ly to a home paper because “its
get more in it," reminds us of a
man who picked out the largest
pair of shoes in the box because
they cost it nn no more than a pair
1lint fitted him, says nn exchange.
And yet some people exercise just
such judgment in the everyday
walks of life and (lieu wonder at
their failures.
The West Point Newt asks its
readers to figure th.s nut: “A

At a recent meeting of the Deni-
prntio executiyo commit tee ol
Bpalding county resolutions w cri
adopted criticising in severe terms
tliu public record of ILm -los. E.
Turner, chairman of the stale
prison commission, The oxplu-
nation of this singular and uudig-
jiified action is (hat Judge Turner
is being opposed for re-election by |
B Spalding county man, and tin-
committee probably thought that
abuse of Judge Turner would have
some effect in promoting the as¬
pirations of its homo candidate.
It is a new departure iu stale
politics for a Democratic execu¬
tive commitle to take ft partisan
Stand as between candidates who
mav be seeking nomination at lln-
hands of the put ty, and the action
of the Spalding county
is, we believe, without precedent
jn Georgia, lt was u most
proper proceeding. Executive
committees are supposed to be
impartial ns between contending
aspirants for parly Imno.s, and
properly so. It would have boon
U questionable proceeding if
Spalding county committee had
simply endorsed it* home
date and stopped at that; but its
action in condemning his oppo¬
nent cannot bo justified an any
grounds.
Judge Turner was originally
pointed by Governor Atkinson,
who recognised his fitness fur the
position, and , tlio , wisdom . , of , his ,
choice has never been 1
, by the , people , of . Georgia. . ... Ins ad.
mitiUlralion has been renittiknhly
Successful, and so wtdply approv-
ed that what, he was last a oattd i-
dato he carried 117 counties out
of . 1K(. Hint he will . be re-elected , ,
is accepted without question by ;
those familiar with tho ptditienl j
conditions in Georgia; but all
good Democrats must deplore the;
ill-tempered attacks that am be-1
jug made upon him by tho Hpu!-!

past a law regulating primary
ti led ions. This was
ami ^ the good effect has over since
been manifest, Then arose (he
evil of the counties holding their
primaries on different days,, but
that was remedied fy I lie stale
executive committee pm mg a
rule that they should be held on
the same day in all the counth s
of the state. Now it is rapidly
coming to pass that the counties
are combining their primaries
with the state primary. Tins will
have a good effect. Benatorial and
congressional committees are al¬
so combining their primaries with
the state primary. Thus all the
elections are being bunched to¬
gether and disposed of sit one
time. This w ill relieve the com¬
munities of much political worry
and turmoil, and the people will
be better satisfied to bold all the
elections at once and get through
with them. Elections are as a rule
great demoralizers and the peopl
are glad when they are over.

Judge Bar11< J 11 (if Georgia, who
isone of themembers of the IIonto
appointed J>v tlio Sneaker (o
,, the reman.' of - the , , lute ,
©oiifltor Ifunnfl, and to attend tlif*
ftmernl, on that, occasion, for the
first time in his life, wore a silk
lint The judge has always been
a devotee of the wool hat. He be-
lieves it is ns essential to Demoo-
racy ns tlie Constitution itself. In
his country the “glossy lid” is ns
much despised ns n rattlesnake,
fhe judge’s political future would
be ti blank were lie to gii to Geor-
gia heueath one of these tilings,
; nevertheless, , , he wore one t<■
Senator Hanna’s funeral.
The judge h»d on his character
istio wool hat and was on route D
the station when lie encountered
big “Jim” MeAndrews, a Demo-
crutic colleague from Chicago.
“Great Heavens, Judge, , ot.’r.
not gojng tu wear that blank old
wool hat to the fuueral, are you?”
|;l 1IrA| „ lrewBt
“Sure, sir;” replied the judge,
“why, sir ; I never wore any oilier
kind of hat in my life, and I am
too old to take up new fads, sir.”
“I’ll be damned,'’ ejaculated
McAndrews, who is not giv n to
the use of profanity except under
great provocation, “ii I’ll let you
disgrace yourself and look like a
tramp among a party of gentle¬
men. Why, every other man in
patlv will have on a silk hat, am
you’ll look like the devil with that
thing you wear. 11
For fifteen minutes the Chica¬
goan argued the matter with tin
Georgian, and finally cut the dis¬
cussion short by calling a messen
ger and sending to his hotel for I;
discarded silk hat of his own, and
when it was brought he insisted
that Judge Bartlett wear it,
“But what’ll people down in
Georgia think of me if they learn
I wear a silk hat?” protested the
i "dge.
“You’re not going ‘down in
Georgia, t i: shouted MeAndrews.
“you're going out in Ohio when
the people are civilized, ”
“I want you to understand,
sir, ” declared the judge grimly,
but good naturedly, “that Un¬
people down in Georgia are just
is civilized, uis refined, and high¬
ly cultured, sir, as the people tun
whore else, even if they donh
wear glistening bonnets and sw al¬
low-tailed coats when Ihev go to
bienkfast."
But the judge at last, in order
to appease .McAudiews, put on the
silk hat and slopped before tin
mirror, where he surveyed him¬
self front and hack for fully thre«
minutes, while MeAndrews stood
by and chuckled to himself.
“Say, Mac,’’said the judge af¬
ter a time, “by George, tins head
gear isn’t so blamed bad alter all.
If it’ll please you /reckon I’ll
wear it.” And so be did, When
the train was about to depart the
other members looked about for
Bartlett. They did not at first
r.-cognise him in his shining tile,
hut when they did they gave him
the glad bund. They didn’t know
that the "churn ” wa P a second¬
hand one, in fact that it was one
Jim MeAndrews used to wear.
