THE OLD ROSE DRESS.
Beneath the eaves where the frnf?rnnt bloom
Swc-ops back und forth like the player’s bow
Across the strings, and the attic room
Is filled with a cndence, soft and low.
Away in the corner, where none may know,
A chest is hidden—grown old so aoon—
A nd there, with the treasures of long ago,
To the old rose dress of another June.
Her first long dress; for the bride was young,
Her heart was light and her face wns fair
The day she burled the gown among
Her cherished things, and she left it there.
Now time hns whitened her raven hair,
And life sings low In a plaintive tune,
Except when she steals up the attic stair,
To the old rose dress of unother June.
Her own have come and her own have gone,
And all have stood 'neath the marriage bell
Where guests huve gathered to speed them on
Their rosied way to wish them well;
The guests have gone, and the silent spell
Has come.'thnt follows the bridal noon,
And found her there, where the tear-drops fell
On the old rose dress of another June.
No man may know nf a woman’ll part
In life’n wholu test, nor the Leurs it brings.
Nor understand how her woman's heart
Is all enwrapped by the little thingH—
A little worn shoo with Its tasseled strings,
A broken slate or a pewter spoon—
And. O, the wenlth of the joy that clings
To the old rose dress of another June.

Hoke Smith Committee Author of
the Anti-Single-Shot Rule.
Macon Telegraph, 2-1 th Inst.
The Atlanta Journal haa been severe
in its condemnation of the anti-single-
shot rule.
The Macon Telegraph also opposed it
when it was adopted by the Hoke
Smith Executive Committee in 1006,
and also when it was adopted (but af
terwards abandoned) in Bibb county.
Read a little history—oh, ye of short
memories.
Listen!
The General Assembly, at its session
in 1906, proposed a Constitutional
amendment creating a Court of Ap
peals, consisting of three JudgeB, for
terms of two, four and six years, and
the amendment was sent to the people
for ratification at the election in Octo
ber, 1906. If ratified by the people, the
Judges wore to be chosen at an election
to be held in November, 1906.
When the State Convention met in
Macon on Sept. 4, .1906, there was some
division of opinion about naming the
three judicial candidates before the
Constitutional amendment had been
adopted, so the matter was left open
for future action. The platform had a
plank which declared it to be—
“The policy of the Democratic party
of Georgia that hereafter all primary
elections for United States Senators,
State House officers, Supreme Court
and Appellate Court Judges (should
such latter court be created) shall be
by direct popular vote. The candidate
who, upon the consolidation of the votes
throughout the entire State, receives
the majority of all the votes cast, shall
be declared the nominee of the party
for that office. If no candidate receives
a majyity of the total vote cast the
two candidates for any office receiving
the highest number of votes cast, and
no others, shall run in the second pri-
’mary, and the candidate receiving a
majority of the votes east in the sec
ond primary shall declared the party’s
nominee.”
The next day Logan Bleckley issued
a call for all the candidates for places
upon the proposed court bench to meet
in Atlanta on Sept. 8 to consult with
Chairman Miller, of the State Execu
tive Committee, with reference to the
nomination and election of such officers.
Thirteen candidates attended such a
meeting, but no action was taken be
yond leaving the matter in the hands
of the committee, and it was decided
the efforts of the candidates should first
be devoted to getting the amendment
ratified.
At a meeting of the State Commit
tee, held in Atlanta on Sept. 12, Messrs.
Arnold, of Fulton, and Berner, of Mon
roe, advocated the holding of a prima
ry on the same day with the State elec
tion. There was some objection .and dis
cussion, but finally the Arnold resolu
tion, amended, was passed. Among the
provisions were the following—
“Be it further resolved, That at said
primary election the three candidates
receiving the highest number of votes
shall be declared the nominees of the
Democratic party for Buch positions as
Judges of the Court of Appeals. We
depart from the majority rule in this
instance only because of the short time
elapsing between the primary and the
election, and the great expense und in
convenience to the voters of holding a
separate primary for Judgeof the Court
of Appeals alone, disconnected, with any
other election.
“Be it further resolved, That the
ticket to be voted at said election shall
contain the names of all candidates for
said three offices, and no ticket shall
BE COUNTED BY THE MANAGERS OF THE
ELECTION IF EITHER MORE OR. LESS
THAN THREE CANDIDATES ARE VOTED
FOR, THE INTENTION OF THIS RESOLU
TION BEING TO PREVENT ‘SINGLE-SHOT-
TING’ OF CANDIDATES.
"Be it further resolved, That the
ticket to be voted at the said election
Bhall contain the names of all the can
didates who have entered their names
with the sub-committee to be appointed
by the chair, and that the voters shall
strike from it the names of every can
didate except the three intended to be
voted for."
It will be observed that within eight
days after the holding of the State
Convention the committee made a de
parture from that body’s ruling in re
gard to the manner of electing, and de
cided that mfen must voto for more can
didates than they wished.

Hart Declines to Enter Race.
Atlanta ConHtitutlon, 24th Inst.
. Judge John C. Hart was in Atlanta
yesterday, having boon invited to At
lanta to discuss a proposal that he
make the race for Attorney-General
against Hon. Hewlette A. Hall, who
succeeded him in that office when he
retired to make the race for Governor.
When a telegram was sent to Judge
Hart asking him to come to Atlanta he
was givon no intimation as to what was
up. The conference was held in the
Majestic hotel, and resulted in Judge
Hart announcing firmly .and positively
that he would not consider making the
race.
When told of the move to put him in
the race against Mr. Hall, Judge Hart
declined absolutely and unqualifiedly:
“It would not bo fair for me to op
pose Mr. Hall. I could not afford to do
so. I am through.”
Later in the day opposition developed
in the person of Hon.' T. S. Felder, of
Bibb, who paid the required entrance
fee and entered the race.
That Judge Hurt refused to onter the
race against his long-time friend was
no surprise to those who knew him.
When he resigned the office which he
had filled with signal ability for eight
years, he took a step that to him was
irrevocable. Thu fact that he later
withdrew from the race for Governor,
announcing that his plea for peace had
fallen on deaf ears, led to the belief
that he might again seek the office he
had left. This impression was prompt
ly put at rest by Judge Hart.
