Our esteemed contemporary, the Ce-
dartown Standard, seems worried be
cause the people from all sections of
the State continue to urge Hon. Hugh
M. Dorsey to allow them an opportuni
ty to vote for him for some high office
at their disposal. Inasmuch as lion.
W. .1. Harris is The Slandard’s “home
man” and a candidate for the Gover-
rorship, it is perhaps natural that it
should “view with alarm” the possibil
ity that Hugh Dorsey may ultimately
yield to the popular clamor for his can
didacy and enter the race for the very
office The Standard's candidate is seek
ing. The chance that such a contest
might result disastrously for the Cedar-
town candidate doubtless adds to the
pertubation of our usually well-poised
contemporary, if one may judge from
the following editorial excerpt from
that paper
“Hugh Dorsey is being strongly
urged to run for United States Senator
against Hon. Hoke Smith, or to get
into the race for Governor. To do eith
er would play into the hands of those
men in Atlanta who have been doing
everything possible (including the man
ufacture of evidence and the bribery of
witnesses) to clear Frank of the mur
der of little Mary I’hagan, anil who
could well afford to give thousands of
dollars to get him out of the Solicitor-
General’s office there. Those who
know Hugh Dorsey best do not believe
that he will allow himself to be used in
this way, or that he would run for an
office ‘with the scaffold as his plat
form. ’ ”
We wish to allay the apprehensions
of our contemporary upon the one point
contained in the foregoing extract
worth noticing. When the motion he-
ing argued before Judge Hill to-day
shall have been disposed of—and it is
not anticipated that a decision will be
long delayed Mr. Dorsey will be whol
ly rid of the Frank case;—consequently,
the question as to whether he shall re
main longer in the office of Solicitor-
General will have no further interest
for Frank or his friends. The case will
have gone to the higher courts and be
entirely out of Mr. DorHey’s hands.
Wo happen to know that Mr. Dorsey
has resolutely refused to discuss politics
so long as the Frank case, in all its
pharos, remains undisposed of. His at
titude in the matter has been influenced
by a sense of personal repugnance to
the idea of allowing politics to enter
into the enso at nil, as well bh by a high
conception of his official duty and dig
nity. Bear in mind bIho that Mr. Dor
sey haH not by word or sign encouraged
the thousands of solicitations he has re
ceived to permit the use of his name as
s candidate for Governor, or for any
other place; —and to intimate that ho
would attempt to ride into office upon
such a disgusting issue as the Frank
case is an imputation little short of
slanderous. The simple truth is, Hugh
Ponsey has developed into a really big
man, and it is honest appreciation of
his superb abilities that explains his
present phenomenal popularity. If his
able ami successful prosecution of the
murderor of little Mary Phagnn has
given him prominence and entrenched
him in the hearts of the people, the op
portunity came in the regular course of
his official duty, and he is entitled to
whatever meed of praise or word of
commendation that may come to him.
Meanwhile we daresay other candi
dates for the Governorship and their
overxoalous friends will continue to re
gard with disfavor any effort to bring
Hugh Dorsey in the field for that office;
—and we see where they are right, be
cause if he xhould get into the race his
election is as certain as that sun will
rise to-morrow.
By the way, it is significant as show
ing the trend of sentiment in the guber
natorial race that on the very day Hon.
W. J. Harris opened his campaign with
a speech in his home county, Polk, a
petition signed by ITti citizens of one
militia district of Polk county was for
warded to Mr. Dorsey asking him to
make the race for Governor. A few
days later he received a petition to the
same effect signed by HIT citizens of
Commerce, the home town of Dr. I,. G.
Hardman, one of the other candidates
for the Governorship. From which it
would appear that not even the "favor
ite son" shibboleth is proving very ef
fective in stemming the tide that is
sweeping the State for Dorsey. The
acknowledged fact that the candidates
already announced for this office are nil
excellent men. and popular in their re
spective communities, invests the Dor
sey movement with an importance as
ominous to the opposition as it is re
markable for its spontaneity. And if
the attempt should be made by his op
ponents to inject the Frank case as an
issue in the campaign with the purpose
of embarrassing Dorsey, they will find
it to be a boomerang with more “stick
ers" on it than a porcupine. Just let
Jem try it.
Col. “Dosh” Massengale, of Warren
county, is pluming himself upon being
the first man in the State to suggest
Hugh Dorsey for the Governorship.
You will have to sit back, Colonel; we
beat you to it by a couple of weeks or
so. The Herald and Advertiser pro
posed Dorsey for Governor in its issue
of March 27, and if there was an ear
lier nomination we failed to hear of it.
However, Col. Massengale is a mighty
good man, and a bellwether in politics
over his way, and we are willing to di
vide the honor with him.

MORELAND.
The recent commencement exercises
of the school here were a great success.

younger children, and they acquitted
themselves most creditably. Their work
reflected much credit on the teachers
who had trained them. On Sunday the
commencement sermon was preached

Methodist church, Griffin. It was a fine
effort, and made a great impression on
the large congregation. Monday morn
ing the graduating exercises were held,
four young people receiving their di
plomas. The literary address was de
livered by Judge Nash R. Broyles, of

was a fine one, and enjoyed by a large
audience. Monday night several selec
tions were given, the commence
ment exercises concluding with a play
entitled "A Fisherman’s Luck.” The
large auditorium was crowded to its ca
pacity, and the auditors showed their
approval by frequent and enthusiastic
applause. The play was well rendered,
all participants sustaining their parts
in a most creditable manner. The com
mencement was a great success, and
reriected much credit upon Prof. Calla
han and his able faculty. Many visitors
attended the exercises.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling Hound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
