Luke is a candidate for one of the
three judgeships oh the state court
of appeals. At present there is nc
South Georgia judge on the bench
and lawyers here and from over
the state, who have disci used the
judgeships, pick Mr. Luke as a
winner. Already Mr. Luke, ac
cording to reports received here,
has secured the signed indorse
jrients of all the lawyers in twenty
cilies.nnd towns in his section of
the state, and it is said he will have
others.
Roseoe Luke is one of the BIG
MEN of Georgia. He is a brainy,,
brilliant lawyer of twenty ye; rs
‘xporfence and in the course of his
uieer hns been employed in some
of the most important litigation
that, the state of Georgia has ever
and; He is peculiarly fitted for a
judgeship, and it has. often been
said that what he doesn’t know
about law t “is torn out of the
book.” '
This correspondent has no inter
est in his candidacy other than to
see an able man placed on the
bench of the state, and he is not
alone in his belief that if Mr. Luke
is elected, which seems quite certain
he‘ will’reflect credit not only on
|iimself gnd South'Georgia but on
the appellate bench of the state,,
Mass, Meeting Held
to
Vate For The Man
Who Fought for You
Governor Nat E. Harris was a
faithful Confederate Soldier. He
is no doubt the last of these old
heroes that will ever be governor
of'any state. But that fact of it
self is.not sufficient reason for ask
ing for the place of chief executive
of a great state. We believe if our
voters will take the trouble to in
vestigate that they will find that
Governor Harris lias “been a faith
ful and wise governor, and ithat no
.criticism is of real weight can be
.brought against him.
Georgians are corning more- and
more to realize that it wilt be to
Georgia’s best interest and fo
Georgia’s great, credit to reelect
this old veteran, and the tide rises
steadily all over the state in. his
favor, and we now believe he will
be our next governor.'

Hugh M. Dorsey
Speaks in Cairo
Hugh Dorsey spoke Wednesday
night in Cairo to a well filled house
Ho'was introduced by Judge W. J.
Willie who referred to him as the
next governor of Georgia. This
expression was applauded by about una sco
ork-FrtHrd iof those present which, |y Ailroads ,iI
would seem to indicate about tl;e
proportion of those who, were pres
ent who were his supporters.
Mr. Dorsey made about th&
same speech that, he has been mak
ing at: other places over the state.
He made a good impression on his
hearers, but it is to be doubted if
he really made any votes by his
speech.

Is the advance of 20 per'cent re
cently made on Grady County “Im
proved lahd” justified? If jfc j H her
citizens arc willing to pay iti. IIow
can we bo satisfied that it is ynualiz-
ing in proposition to the value of
other Counties of the State? We
think conservative investigation of
tho adjoining counties would come
as near satisfying as to go over the
entire State. Improved land last
year iti. Decatur averaged $5.01, Mil
ler $4.85, Mitchell $7.01, Grddy $5.14
Thomas $0.75. Mitchell decreased
this year about $80,000, which will
probably drop, her avoragb to $0.76.
Thomas decreased ubout '$100,000
which probably dropped^hor to $0.50.’
Grady increased, about $00,000,
which carried her to about $5.40. We
m ye no figures on Decatur and Mil
ler for 1010. From first glance you
might conclude we uro tig) low* ns
Grady has us good land ns the other
counties and this we: agree is true,
speaking of her soil. Lands 'are
made valuable by improvements';- us
an illustration, take lands oil' the
East side of the Oehlockiiee river in
I homes county 'where money has
been spent freely improving and
beautifying and are now returned on
the tax digest nt $20.00 per acre,
at $2.50 and in t*ir opinion tile Grady
while on the Grady county side it is
side is high in. proposition.
The original soil oi one is worth
as much us the other—improvements
made tho difference. This is only
one instance, but we can enumerate
tunny others. Grudy County has
what would be termed one first-dusk
railroad running ueross it with Cairo,
and two smaller towns on it, it being
about 20 miles East and west to the
extrmo limits of the county, Qo
through Thomas, Decatur nnd Mit-

Judge W, M. Harro#- of Bain-
bridge is in-the race for judge of
the Superior Court of the Albany
Circuit His formal announcement
will be found elsewhere in this is
sue of the Journal.
Judge Harrell is already well-
known in Mitchell county having
been employed as counsel in some
of the most important cases tried
in the county during past several
years. He lias been' actively en
gaged in the practice of law for 30
years except 8 years of which he
was judge of the City Court of
Bainbridgc. Ho is president of tie
Decatur County Bar Association
and at a meeting of this body hold
last Friday he was unanimously
endorsed for the office.
So.far.he is the only candidate
who has made formal announce
ment blit he will be -opposed by
Judge A. S. Johnson of this county
who several weeks ago stated that
he was in the race and would make
his formal announcement in due
time. There have alsti been others
whose names have been mentioned
as probable candidates and as the
time for the election draws nearer

Solicitor Bell Unopposed
We are glad to give to our read

Bell the following clipping from
tho Bainbridgc Democrat;
Hon. R. C. Bell, of Cairo, an
nounces for re-election as Solieitcr
General of the Albany circuit, un
opposed.
The occasion, perhaps calls for
a tribute, but it is written more ex
pressively in the hearts of the peb-
ple than we could hope to make it
here. This fact, above all, has im
pressed itself alike upon the lawyer
and the layman, that he seeks to
convict no man, but conceives it
his whole duty to see that the
State is ably and impartially repre
sented.
' We heard a man say today,
“Well, I’ll vote for him for solici
tor-general; but. I’d rather vote for
him for governor.”
And to this observation a host
of voices will echo, “Them’s my
sentiments, exactly;”
