Tlic sentiment in lavor of aliol-

If the legislature next, summer
lines no t change tlm method of
lecting judges the body oh-ctod
this f: II will surely do so. Wo

A Washington special sny: As
their share of the cost involved in
the army and navy appropriation
bills just passed by congress, the
people of Georgia will bo called
upon to pay no has thnn $5, (XX),-
(XX). That means #5,000,000 in a
single year. That sum w mild
build five state cnpitol buildings
like that in Atlanta. Senator Ba¬
con showed how much the cost to
Georgia—tin cost of the state s
share of tho support of the army
iinil navy according to the size ol
t lie appropriations cat t ied in the
pending supply bills—in a speech
lie made on the navy appropria¬
tion bill.
Rev. Malzio Morris, a colored
Jlaptist preacher of Washington,
D. C., has been disputing a point
of doctrine with several promi¬
nent members of his church, and
it appears that tho latter were on
the point of settling tho matter
with pistols the other day when
their pastor promptly drew a lug
-revolver and got the drop on then'
from the pulpit. The dispatches
state that the police quelled tin
riot and restored order in Mount
Horeb church, but presumably
the contested point of doctrine is
st ill at issue.—Macon Telegraph.
State Enlomologis Newell lias
been requested to make a trip to
Troup and Merriwt her counties
to investigate Die boll weevil sit¬
uation. ns the cotton planters an
confident they have found the bug
which is the so much dreaded wee¬
vil. A prominent Beach Island
farmer is authority for the state¬
ment lhat his section had tin
weevil last year. He contends that
the insect can he imported in cot¬
ton seed meal and hulls. 11 is sec¬
tion is similar in climate to some
of the infested sections of Texas.
The weevil is to be dreaded and it
is to be hoped tlm( tho many ru¬
mors of its appearance in this sec¬
tion are incorrect.

Tho Ilearst organs in shis state
are hanging on to 1 he fond delu-
pum that Tammany may yet turn
up in control of tilt) New York
(Rate convention with Hearst up
its sleeve. But that is only ally¬
ing dream more grim than irri-
descent. Murphy says Tammany
is for Cleveland, and yet these
Hearst boomer* spasm not, neilh-
er do their heads spin. If, howev-
er, one who supported the ex-pres -
ident in his last race for the IJetn-
ocratie nomination (twelve years
ago) joins a Barker club these or-
gnus scent treason and'threaten
martial law. New A ork is for

Parker to “speak,” They

was nom nufac,lured boom
with money and wind, Ho lias
neither millions of money
newspaper properties with which
to boom li:in.S'df. Neither was it
leadership, nor hand-
shaking qualities, nor skillful or-
ganization that brought him
ward. It was the old-time Demon-
racy, returning to sanity, sock-
ing a leader.
\\ hi!e the great mass of
crals were waiting for tho
lion to develop—while they were
waiting f"t'the lender to show
up—they suddenly discovered a
widespread plot backed by mil¬
lion? to buy Ike Democratic pom*
iimtion for an unseasoned young
man who had nothing in particu¬
lar to commend him except in¬
herited wealth. Whether the sto¬
ries told about him are true or
false the great Democratic con-
.cience could not afford to take
the Chance, It could not a a fiord
to go before the country with a
candidate under the suspicion of
a purchase and sale price brand¬
ed on tho forehead.
These things, and nothing else,
created tho Barker boom in little
more than a fortnight. T he best
conditions prevail and the best re¬
sults are obtained when the party
goes out and hunts its candidates.
It is not so when the candidate
goes out with a brass band and a
barrel of money and hunts the
party.
Judge Parker is at the head ol
tho greatest court of the greatest
state in the greatest country on
earth. 11 is party record is straight,
and his personal character clean,
His ability is acknowledged and
nis general character is of high
class. His name will provoke no
scandals, and he will make a"
ideal candidate.
This is the kind of a man the
Democracy wanted this year and
it went in search of him. It Inn
found him.—Macon Telegraph.

flic sun’s rays aro bright and
warm, but not warm enough to
keep off tho chill of the west wind
which lias been blowing steadily
for the past few days. The ground
is baked so hard that tho farmers
will have to halt in their hurry to
vva it for rain before they can plow
much in this section.
r Lave just been thinking that
if the candidates would happen
along now they would not have
such a hard time in putting in
their plea for votes, for I imagine
it is rather difficult to walk over
clods and keep one’s equilibrium
and talk at the same time, especi¬
ally in such windy weather. Tho’
probably they are likoJason when
ho went, to obtain the Golden
Fleece of tho wondrous Ram that
bore I’hrixus and IL lle across the
Knxiiie sea, caring naught for
.terms and disasters, but sailed
steadily on until he killed
drag'll) and secured the
prize. Now t! ero is not a dragon
m tiie race for an offie ; in this
county but 1 hope the last, man
will bo successful, ft>r our
makers and officials of every kind
should I o good citizens who are
willing to do noble deeds without
thinking of any reward. It w:s
not fi r gold that tlm Lord came
down and died and tho apostles
went out to preach tho good news
in all the lands. Tho Spartans
looked for no reward when they
fought and died at Thermopylae.
Our discoverers did not go to
make themselves riel) when they
sailed out on dreary frozen sens,
many heroes have fallen to
ilf i) loving honor more than
wealth or life.
