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. -[John D. Wells. Men’s low-quartered Shoes and ladies’ and children’s Slippers at greatly reduced prices.

TELEPHONES 342 and 58. 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. State Primary Lists Are Closed. Atlanta Constitution, 24th inut. Yesterday was the last day on which candidates for State House offices to'be voted on in the Stateq>rimary of Aug. 23 might pay their assessments and qualify. The lists are now made up. All the present State House officers have paid their assessments, with the exception of the State Treasurer, Hon. J. Pope Brown, who is not seeking re- election. Opposition to Hon. Hewlette A. Hall developed Saturday in the person of Hon. T. S. Felder, of Bibb. A number of other possible candidates were men tioned, but the race fpr Attorney-Gen eral will be fought out by these two, none of the others mentioned having come in. Hon. G. R, Hutchens, of Polk county, who waB named Prison Commissioner to succeed Judge Joseph S. Turner, is be ing opposed for re-election by Hon. R. E. Davidson, of Greene eohnty. Col. O. B. Stevens is being opposed for Railroad Commissioner by J. A. Perry, of Gwinnett. E. B. Hornady has of fered for Railroad Commissioner in op position to Joseph F. Cray. Erof. M. L. Brittain, who was named State School Commissioner by Cov. Brown to succeed Jere M. 'Pound, is a candidate for election to the long term, and is being opposed by B. M. /Settlor. The list of entries for State offices as announced by Col. B. M. Blackburn, secretary of the committee, is ub fol lows: For Governor — Joseph M. Brown, Hoke Smith, and Edward H. Walker.

For Associate Justice of the Supreme Court—Marcus W. Beck. For Associate Judge Court of Appeals —Arthur G. Powell. 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. Hay Fever and Asthma.
