TO CHANCE THE LAW
Under Which Judges sod Solicitors Are Elect-
ed by tbe People.
Hon. Ed. L. Wight has introduced
his bill in the legislature to repeal (tbe
present law under which the superior
court judges aud solicitors ere elected
by the people. His bill provides tliut
these officers shall be appointed by the
governor and confirmed by the senate.
Ool. Wight is quoted by the Atlanta
Journal as saying with reference to his
bill:
The reason for my introduction of
the bill is'tbat after giving the present
method afair trial it has proven entirely
unsatisfactory to the masses of the poo-
ple In the circuits where eleorions have
ooonrred tinder this law.
The reasons - why it hoi proven un>
satisfactory are, that the candidates for
judge and solicitor have almost of ne
cessity been required to do thiuge that
men who expeot to occupy the positions
to whioh they aspire should not be
forced to doi In will ooonr to any per
son who will give the matter thought,
thal'where a mail Is a candidate for the
pocitlon'of prosecuting ofiloer that many
of the people: who are likely to came to
trial for offenses committed against the
state, la whioh he will appear as prose
cutor, will take advantage of hie candi
dacy and endeavor to oantrol hie actions
either dlreotly or indirectly by the
promise of their votes and inflaenoe,
either given or implied. The same
thing may be paid pf the candidates for
judge.
* "AS an evidence of the feeling of the
people apon tills subject I find that jn
my' own circuit where a very heated
content ooonrred for the office ot judge
of the snnerior court, the people almost
nnihlinmiiiy are dppbsed tp the present
law and wish some change made.

The $20 Floral Parade Premium,
Fpr tho information of any who may
not understand It, wo will state that
the premium of (20 that has boen offered
for tbe best decorated veliiole that is
shown in the grand opening parade of
the Hay Day Oaruival and Street Fair,
is intended for private or individual
carriages, traps or baggies, and this
feature of the parade is to add to the
artistio beanty of the parade of the mer
cantile, industrial aud agricultural floats
and at the mme time take the place of a
separate or distinot floral parade. At
the close ot the parade the three classes
ot floats for whioh premiums are offered,
will oe lined np separately for the
judges to pass apon them, and in this
way the decorated vehioles will not be
thrown into competition with the mer
cantile, industrial and agricultural
floats.
Several ladies and gentlemen in the
city ore already planning to decorate
their vehioles and join the big proces
sion. It is to be free to all, and every
body is invited to join in this opening
feature of the carnival and fair without
waiting for a personal solicitation.
