THE NEw JUDGES,
. —~——
The Politicians, who Predicted ¢pgy
the election of judges by Popular yote
Would leaq Lo the (‘l(*\'atiun of sw'ond-l
rate lawyepg and wipa Dullers ’
ro tne highest court of the state,
are disappointed at the work of
last week’s convention. The people
took the election of judges into
their own hands to prevent just what
the politicians professed to fear,- and
are now more convinced than ever that |
no mistake was made in doing so.
The convention, we believe, has chos
en for supreme court justices as
good men as could possibly be
found. They are men of conceded abil
ty and of the highest character, and
enjoy the esteem and confidence of the
entire public. The most gratifying
feature of all is that they are not poli
ticians. but lawyers who have devoted
their lives to their profession and have
reached their present position by reason
of ability and honest effort.
The selection of Judges Little, Cobb
and Fish for the supreme bench indi
cates a healthier sentiment in Georgia
politics,and is proof of the wisdom of
the new constitutional amendment.
SOME NEW BILLS.
Some of the more important meas
ures proposed in the general assembly
thus far are as follows: To provide
for holding a constitutional convention
in February next; to allow solictors
general an annual salary of $2,000 in
lieu of perquisites now authorized by
law :t to amend the constitution by em
powering the legislature to levy taxes
to pay pensions to maimed and indi
gent soldiers who served in the late
war. or their widows: to authorize su
perior courts to grant charters to pri
ate corporations, except banking and
insurance companies: to provide for
the redemption of land sold under exe
cution; tn require all transfers of
property between husband and wife
to be recorded in the office of clerk of
the superior court within ten days af
ter made: to prevent agents of liquor
houses from soliciting orders. in dry |,
counties to provide for dispensaries
in counties where liquor is now
sold; to provide for total divorce
by verdict of one jury where no de
fense is offered: to change the time of
election for justices of the peace from
th» first Saturday in January to the
third Saturday in December; to re
quire manufacturers of fertilizers to
print on tags attached to each bag a
plain statement showing ingredients:
to make it a misdemeanor for cotton
factors, warehousemen or other dealers
in cotton to destroy the marks on any
bale so that the owner or any person
having a lien on it cannot identify it:
to prohibit the hunting of ’possums
between March 1 and October 13 to}
change the term of governor from two |
to four years, and make him ineligible
for re-election; to make the term of
legislators four instead of two.years:
to make the session of the general as
sembly bi-annual instead of annual; to
compensate election managers {at the
rate of $2 per day, and clerks (not ex
ceeding three)at $1 per day: to repeal
the actrequiring the list of traverse
jurors to include the grand
jurors; to provide suitable penalty for
non-payment of professional tax; to
repeal the state registration law; to
change the tax law soas te prevent the
taxing of both land and notes where
land is sold on bond for title: to pro
hibit the sale of whiskey only in un
broken packages. 'T'his last measure
proposes to leave unchanged the pres
ent local option concerning total pro
hibition of liquor selling, but will pro
vide that in counties where liquor is
sold it shall be sold in unbroken pack
ages. In other words, it will do away
with the barroom where drinks are
sold,
Ix the acquittal of the Zeigiers, whn‘
killed Sheriff Brooker of Scriven coun
ty, Tom Watson ha- again showed his
ability as a lawyer and power as an or
ator. He introduced no evidence for
the defense, but spoke two hours and
forty-five minutes, It required only
one ballot of the jury to agree upon a
verdi 't of acquittal. |
JUupGE GOBER was defeated, and we
are again told that the ring has been
knocked silly. Thething has amazing
Jecuperat ve powers, though,

ly Woundeq ¢ Cold Harbor, and there

nearly cost him his eyesight. This dis
abled confederate holds the position of
state librarian. He takes pride in the
office because he feels that it was given
himby a people who appreciate his
services on the field at a time when not
petty politics but life and death was
the issue.
The confederate soldier, no matter
lwhat his qualifications are, is given but
little consideration in these days of
politics, and-Captain Milledge may be
kicked out and a politlcal debt paid
with another or the people's offices.
Mgr. W. P. KiLuingsworTH of Clay
wants to sit among the legislators in
Atlanta, and is casking that body
tomnseat Mr. A. L. Foster because a
few folks in voting left off that gentle
man’s initials and simply voted for
“Foster.” A committee has been ap
pointed to go down to Fort Gaines and
pry into the ballot box and report to
the august assembly. No man should
want office or should accept office on
tsuch flimsy grounds.
JUupGE GoBER’s ability is (~onceded‘
and he carries on business in his cir-}
cuit in a manner that is refreshing in ‘
these days of delays in court, but his
defeat for the supreme bench is fortu
nate just at this time when the election
of judges by the people ison trial. The
Blue Ridge judge is a master politi
cian,and stands out as a warning to
those ambitious judges who have a
penchant for machine polities.
Tue bill to make women eligible to
certain state house cffices in Georgia
looks like a step in the direction of wo
man suffrage. This paper doesn’t ex
actly fancy the idea of the tender sex
mixing in politics—especially Geor
gia's kind of politics—but if the dear
girlsinsist on doing so our gallantry is
sufficient not to interpose any serious
objections.
Arrnovan Terrell’s delegates, who
voted for Judge Fish, were se-
lected by mass meeting, with
Sister Myrick’s permission we
will join in rejoicing over the honor
that has fallen upon Americus’ distin
guished citizen and our neighbor, and
send a word of congratulation. Judge
Fish is a pure, clean man, and will or
i nament the supreme bench.
Tue sultan of Turkey is still allow
ing his subjects to butcher helpless
christians as their whims may lead
them. A few shots from one of Uncle
Sam’s fighting ships dropped over in
Turkey would learn the esteemed sul
tan a thing or two and prove healthful
to his oppressed subjects.
Dr. Ryper, the Talbotton murderer,
will not hang in December, having se
cured a hearing of his case before the
supreme court. He istin such bad
health that it seems probable that na
ture may relieve the hangman of a dis
agreeable duty.
Eprror MYRICK is agitated because
Terrell’s delegates to the judicial con
vention were elected by mass meeting.
If the dear sister will be calm she shall
be consulted when the democrats of this
county have another political duty to
attend to. ;
SENATOR OrLAY told the democratic
convention in Atlanta last week that
he felt like he loved every man, woman
and child in Georgia. Steve has
cause to feel good; has anse, perhaps,
to feel better than those people he is
loving so.

A Novewber Harsh,
Beneath the guiet, ;ombor gikics
The urky marsh in silvncs lics,
The eattails dream besido 1o stream
Upon whese breast no lilies gleam.
The sumacs burn in dull array
Where once the wild rose lit the way,
And from the trecs, in argesies,
The red leavgs {futter in the breeze,.
As day to twilight softly wanes
The air is blue with smoky skeins,
That fall and lift and idly shift,
And round the reeds screnely drift.
Across the marsh’s mossy sweep
Empurpled shadows fall and creep,
An | o’er the spring’s wind rippled rings
A heron floats on lazy wings.

Mr. James 8. IHarrison, a well-known
and highly respected citizen of Cleve

ill-luck to fall a vietim to malaria from
this complication of disorders. Mr.

serious, when he commenced to take P,
P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy. Its
effects were marked and immediate.

debility I beg to submit my testimonial

cure for all the distressing complaints
from which I'sufipred. -
My system was also full of Malaria
and my condition was growing very
serious ; 1 had no appetite, was losing
strength and was completely broken
down in health, but now my health is
completely restored, and I can eatlike
a field laborer, without the slightest
fear of any serious results.
I take great pleasure in telling the
world that P. P. P. did the grand work
of restoring me to my accustomed
health. Yours traly,
