Teachers who lose a day on ac count of examination may teach on Saturday to make up that day. All teachers whose licenses expire this year must take the examination. J. E. Pendergrast, County Superintendent of Schools. Hugh Dorsey’s Candidacy. Buchanan Tribune. Some are attacking Hugh Dorsey on the ground that he does not possess the qualifications necessary for the making of a good Governor, declaring that un til the Frank case Dorsey was un known in the State, except in his im mediate locality. But you will notice that all these statements emanate from those who would oppose the Atlanta solicitor under any and all circum stances, with no regard as to his qual- lifications. Even if the Frank case did make Dorsey popular, why shot-id that be used agaist him? Some one had to conduct the prosecution, Dorsey, being the Solicitor-General of the Atlanta circuit, within whose domain the dirty crime was committed, was the sworn defender of the State’s laws, and it be came his duty to see that the guilty man was convicted. Dorsey’s manage ment of the case caused him to be famed, not only in this State, but throughout the United States. He matched his ability against some of the country’s most noted legal talent—and he won upon every point. Of course, merely the fact that he won his case gives him no more call for gubernato rial honors than any other lawyer who has won a case, but the famous case was the means of bringing out all that was in the brilliant young solicitor. He was shown to be competent under any and all circumstances; hence, when suggestions for Governor began to ap pear, the people, remembering that in the young Atlanta solicitor the State had an absolutely dependable man for the place, hiB name began to be sug gested here and there, until from all sections of the State have come thous ands of solicitations for the young man to make the race. And here’s a pointer: If the Frank caBe is injected into the campaign, watch who holds the hyperdermic. It will not be in the hands of Dorsey and his friends, but the opposition forces will use it—in fact, they are already doing so.
