Thomp son will introduce a bill at the June session of the legislature to have the county commissioners of Hall county elected by the peo ple. He is opposed to the present method of electing them by the grand jury. He has not yet determined whai be will do about the city court. He says he will put three petitions at the ordinary’s office for the peo ple to sign, one of which will pro vide for the abolition of the city court, one for the election of the judge and solicitor by the people, and one to let the court remain like it is. If the people signify their wishes about the city court by signing these petitions, he ex pects to be governed largely by the one containing the largest number of names. If more peo ple sign the petition to abolish the court than any of the others, he will take it as an indication that they desire the court abolished, and so on with reference to the other petitions. Mr. Thompson will also intro duce a bill providing for a special grand jury box in every county in the state. This will provide that the judge of the superior court shall draw the grand jury from this box according to the popula tion of each militia district in each county. For instance, the Gainesville district is the largest in Hall county and it would be entitled to about two grand jurors to the smaller districts’ one. The intent of the bill is to have every district in the county represented on each grand jury. Good Roads in Jackson. Now, since through the able and untiring effoirts of Congressman F. C. Tate we are to have rural free delivery routes established all over Jackson county, we of course must have good roads. The routes are being established with the dis tinct understanding that the peo ple provide good roads. And even if we have no rural delivery, all the money intelligently spent in road work*is a good investment that will return many fold. In order to be successful in the com mendable efforts of the county commissioners to keep the roads in good shape, they should have the hearty co-operation ot the people of the county. We believe the people are willing to be taxed to build good roads so long as the money is judiciously spent for the purpose intended. Too many high salaried road officers, and unwise and extravagant expendi ture of money that should be used to work the public highways of the county, will cause much dis satisfaction and complaint, and will do the good road cause much damage.—Herald. Two Big Schemes. The government has on hand two big schemes, both of which promise to occupy the attention of the country for many years and to take vast sums out of the Treasury. One is the improve ment of the Mississippi river and the other is the irrigation of the and lands of the West c For Dink and His Bar’I. The Hon. Bunk Cooper is eer- lously considering whether he shall run for Congress against Charley Bartlett down m the Ma con district. And that reminds us—The Hon. Dink Botts of Lumpkin County is being impor tuned by his numerous friends to allow the use of his name as a can didate in the 9th against Carter Tate. If the Hon. Dink gets into the race, Carter will have to look well to his laurels, as it is under stood that Mr. Botts has a barrel of blockade on tap for the boys. —Cherokee Advance. Now there goes Botts.—First came Carter Tate who sowed the district down with garden seeds. Next came some candidate whose name we have forgotten and flooded the district with postage stamps. Then came genial John Holder of Jackson, and injected the possum supper. Last but not least comes Dink Botts with a bar rel of liquor. We are for Botts. Botts and rabbit foot corn. One and in separable, now and forever. Hurrah for Botts.—Buford Enter prise . Some Predictions. Hon. Hoke Smith of Atlanta gave out an interesting talk on politics in New York last week. It is his opinion that the conserva tive Democrats will control the next Democratic National Con vention, and that the nominee for President will be eitiier Judge Alton B. Parker of New York or Richard Olney of Massachusetts. Mr. Smith, in speaking ot the Democrats of the South, said: “The people of our state and, in fact, of the whole South, are tired of revolutionary doctrines and practices. They want continued prosperity and a chance to make money without having to spend a lot of time guessing what is going to happen at Washington.” w Mr. Smith may be right in say ing that the nominee will be either Mr. Olney or Judge Parker, but if he thinks that Mr. Bryan isn’t going to exert a strong influence in the nominating convention he will discover that he is mistaken. Here in the South there is un doubtedly a strong and growing sentiment in favor of the nomina tion offsome such man as Judge Parker or Mr. Olney, but it is in the towns that this sentiment is particularly noticeable. In the rural districts Mr. Bryan is stil 1 a power.—Savannah News. Col. H. W. Bell Is President. Hon. H. W. Bell, of Jefferson, Ga., was elected president of the Georgia Soldiers’ Home Thursday morning at the regular quarterly meetiug of the trustees of the home in Atlanta. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says: “Rural free delivery has already been extended into many sections of the country, and as other sections improve their pub lic roads and bring them up to the requirements, the service will be given to them. Good roads are necessary to the successful opera tion of the service. ” LATEST FASHION NOTES. A BICH AND ELEGANT COAT. This coat is almost regal in its mag nificence, being developed of heavy corded black novelty cloth. It is made with loose front' and back, the revers-facing of white peau de soie and fancy black and white striped velvet, and on the sleeves as well as above the narrow ruffles, appear wide bands of handsome tapestry embroidery. Grelots of jet beads also add to the trimming, and the turn-down collar consists of ermine with bands of the same on the sleeves. Apropos of coats— the latest Eton, the very latest, is double breasted. It is cut V-shaped in the back, V-shaped in the back and there are doable lapels, one^deeper than the other, all double breasted and stitched with Cor- ticelli stitching silk. The sleeves have two capes at the top, and the Eton itself falling below the belt in front, thus suggesting a Directoire. Then there is an Eton which is very nice and which makes a nice winter garment. It is fastened in the back, as so. many winter coats are, while the front is laid in folds to below the bust, where the Eton is cut off. The shirtwaist in this case is made with a full baggy effect over the front of the belt. Don’t Drop the Right. At a banquet in Des Moines, la., Thursday night Mr. Bryan, responding to the toast “Democracy,” said, m part: “To say that a right principle mast be dropped because the party has suf fered defeat in support of the principle is as ridiculous as it is cowardly. The Democratic party has been defeated more often on the tariff issue than any other issue, and yet that is the issue that the reorganizers would make the paramount one: the trust question was an issue both in 1896 and in 1900, and there is as much reason for declaring that the elections vindicated private monopolies as to say that they vindi* cated the gold standard. “In 1900, the trust question was more discussed than the money ques tion, and yet the people who want to drop the money question pretend to feel an interest in the trust question. Imperialism was the paratnount issue in 1900 and overshadowed all others, and yet those who are opposed to im perialism would not be willing to drOj* that issue. “While circumstances determine the emphasis that should be placed upon particular issues, no party can afford to abandon a righteous position once takeu for fear that to maintain it would be unpopular.” Colonel A. R. Lawton, of Savannah, Georgia state troops, retired, has been appointed by the secretary of war as a member of the board to make rules governing the rifle contest between the army and militia for a national trophy, provision for which was recently made by congress. f smm
