We uou't lake much stock in what

done in Atlanta, perhaps, but It cannot
be anooesstnlly done now union the peo

selves. Under onr primary system of
nominating candidates the people have
the eall on the polltioiana, and the day
la past when the ofHoea of the state can
be farmed out by a few self-appointed
slate makers. If slates are made now
the work most be done by men who
have the people behind them, or they
will get smashed. Mtn of ability and
prominenoe still have their inflnenoe in
the politics of the state, and it will
always be so, bnt the day of political
bosses and ent-and-dried conventions in
Georgia Is past. The man who gets an
office In Georgia now gets it by direct
vote of the people. No etate In the
Union has ever had fairer, aqnaret
politics than we have had in Georgia
during the past eight or ten years, and
wherever the people haven't controlled
it has been their own fault.

WILL THEY SANCTION
It remains to be seen whether the
legfslalure can be persuaded to sanc
tion this scheme for Atlanta to get a
now‘depot. The necessary legislation
tt> carry it through would, it appears to
ns, jar the Constitution of 1877, which
effectually negatives the principle of
state aid to railroads, communities, and
corporations of every kind.—Albany
Herald.
Governor Candler in his message al
ludes to tbe fact that there will be abont
(483,000 in the state treasury, accruing
from the sales of odds and ends. This
money is to bo devoted to the payment
of the bonded debt of the state, bnt by
some itrango oversight these amounts
were not credited to that account as
they were paid into the treasury and the
omission was not discorered until some
eight months ago, when the treasurer
discovered it and at onoe cred
ited them to the proper acoount.
The state hoe' no bonded debt
doe until 1916 except that whloh is pro
vided for by the sinking fund. The
question arises what shall be done with
this money f It has been suggested that
the constitution should be so Amended
as to authorise the suspension of the col
lection of the sinking fond temporarily
or that this money be applied to the pay
ment of the interest on the bonded debt.
Governor'Okndler submitted these faots
to the general Assembly in order that It
might dtreot the application of ibis
War’ 1 " - ■' •<* *»i.'
This Is Interesting beoanw this Is the
fntJd that Atlanta proposes to use, If
possible, to erect finnlon depot Ih that
city. Its application to that' dfrectlofa
wonld appear t6 be improper. The faot
that this fdh'd has been diverted before
is no argument for its misuses again
Besides, Governor Candler Skfreealy
SAyi that, while the' constitution pro
vides’ that thea’S entai Shall be Applied
only to the payment of the bonded debt,
they have not until reoently’been cred
ited to that account. Now that these
soma have boon so reoogultad and set
aside tfiff a^opld be used in * stootly
legal way. The Albany Huuald is
right. The constitution of 1877 wonld
be strained by any snob appropriation.—
Savannah Press.
The newspapers are saying some very
nioe things abont Hon. James M. Griggs,
onr immediate representative in oon.
gross, who has jnst returned from Dela
ware, where he went in response to a
oall from the national democratic cbm.
ml ttee, supplemented by one from the
chairman of the democratic committee
of Delaware, to make campaign
speeches. This is the aeoond oall Mr,
Griggs has had to do oampalgn work in
doubtful states. He first went to Mary,
land, In whloh state he made several
speeches. Those who are in position to
know say that Mr. Griggs Is one of the
strongest oampalgn speakers that the
democrats have had In this campaign.
He is brainy, well informed and good
natnred. He has a way of getting elose
j to tho people, and is a vote winner. His
campaigning in other states has taken
: him out of Ills own district for several
' weeks, bnt it is all right so far us th

The grand jury at the spring term of
Dougherty superior coart recommended
that onr representative in the legislature
lntrodnoe a bill to amend the act creat
ing the city court of Albany and Dough
erty county so as to provide that the
judge and solicitor shall be elected by
the people, and. following np that rec-
omendation, the connty commissioners
had the necessary citation givii g
notice that suoh a local bill wonld he In
troduced In the legislature published.
Bnt the grand jury at the October
term of onr enperior court took issue
with the grand juTy at the spring term
on the question of electing the judge
and solicitor, and reoommended in the
very strongest terms that onr represent
ative in the legislators nse all honorable
means to defeat the proposed bill.
And there it ia. The question is “np
to” Ool. Wight, onr able representative
in the legislature, and he will have to
choose between the two reoommends
done of the two grand juries. One
grand jury says elect the judge and
solloitor of the oity oonrt by the people;
the other gnuld jnry aaya, tn effect, for
God's sake don't do lk; leave tbe ap
pointment of these officials to' the gov-
emor; we have had enough of tbe eleo
tlon of judges and solicitors by the peo-
pie already.. . it
It ia a well known faot that Ool.
Wight became disgusted with the new
plan of electing the superior court
judges and aplioitors during the cam
palgn last summer, and it Is, therefore,
probable that he will, in the exercise of
his right to choose between tbe oonfliot-
ing grand jury presentments, favor the
plan recommended by -the jury at the
October torn of the oourt and leave the
appointment of the judge and solicitor

A YELLOW FEVER THEORY.
From tho Havnnniih Morning News.
The doctors are trying to make the
mosquito ont a terrible little insect that
not only aunoys people dreadfully with
his Binging and biting, but also carrhs
around with him dangeroas little germs
of Deruicioas aud deadly fevers. Re
cently they have been eudeavoriug to
show beyond a Bhadow of a doubt that
if it w.-re not for tho mosqnito there
would not be so many cases of malarial,
fever—that, in fact, the malarial fever:
genn would be unable to get ont of the
swamps and other damp places and make
people ill. j
Dr. WalterReed.snrgeonintheUnited
States army, has gone a step farther,
than other doctors in the effort to make j
it appear that the mosqnito is a deadly i
enemy of the human race. In an i
article in the current number of the'
Philadelphia Medical Journal ha under-
takes to show that, tho pesky Inwi Is
largely responsible for tho ep .-cl of
yellow fever. ^

by mosquitoes that had been In. contaot
with very mild oases of yellow fever
The 3 who were infeoted were bitten .by]
mosquitoes whioh had bitten persons
who were suffering from severe cases of
the fever.
Dr. Reed’s paper shows that bis in
vestigations were thorough and pains
taking. His sincerity is apparent in
what he writes. He is oonfldent that
the mosqnito is a carrier of tile yellow
fever germ, or if there ie no germ, then
the yellow fever poison.

the lint acta of the Dele government
after it got into power was to take the
franchise from the great body of natives 1
who had enjoyed It for yean, and this

property qualification. Bnt. for this
action the Dole party wonld have been
voted ont of existence and no one knew
it better than themielvee. They -never
had any popular strength, and nev*r

judgment. When congress -came (o
