E. M. Clark, of Duke, Calhoun

A joint resolution was passed by
the General Assembly last week to
provide for an early payment of
llie teachers’ past due salaries.

As there does not seem to be
sufficient funds in the state treas
ury to meet the present demands
on it, why not suspend the public
schools three, or six months, until
there was sufficient money on hand
to conduct the schools on a cash
basis?
This might work a temporary
hardship on teachers and pupils,
but they are just as able to bear it
as the people who pay the taxes
This plan, we believe, would be
better than borrowing money to
meet the deficit.
YY’o often hoar of the good old
times when opposing candidates
conducted their campaigns on such
a high plane that they could travel
together, drink together, eat to
gether and often sleep together.
In the recent election Mrs. Mattie
Hughes, silverite of Utah, ran a
gainst her husband for congress,
and defeated him. Whether thev
adhered to the old, time honored
customs while canvassing is not
known, but it is presumed they did.
The present prices of ; school
books are said to be controlled by
the book trust, and are very much
too high. An attempt is, being
made by some of the legislators to
have the state publish its own
books and furnish them to the
school children at cost. YY’e doubt
the propriety of the state engaging
in anv business enterprise, yet
there is nc doubt but what the
same quality of hooks now in use
could be published at home by
contract for very much less money
than they now cost. There is room
for a reduction in prices, but what
method is best to attain that end
is the question to be settled by the
wisdom of our legislators.
JUDICIAL CONVENTION.
The Candidates Nominated Are
All Good Men. j
The convention to nominate t
candidates for judges of the su- t
preme court met in Atlanta last
Wednesday and after two days '
work, filled with much excitement j
and hard work by the candidates,
adjourned Thursday evening, after 1
nominating the following well
known gentlemen : Judge Samuel 1
.umpkin, of Oglethorpe, whose
i term as one of the supreme court
judges had expired, was nominated ■
to succeed himself; YY r . A. Little,
of Muscogeo, Andrew J. Cobb, of ;
Clarke and YVilliam A. Fish, of
| Sumpter, were the other three suc
| cess fu l men*.
Ten ballots were taken before
I the matter was finally determined, i
there being a warm fight toward
the close between Judge Gober and
Mr. Fish.
Judge Branham’s name was
withdrawn during the ninth bal
lot, and after it became evident j
that the fight was between Gober
I and Fish.
! The failure of Judge Branham
to secure the nomination for one j
of the vacancies will be a source j
of extreme regret to his numerous i
friends throughout this county, j
Than Judge Branham there is j
perhaps no better equipped man !
in Georgia for a position on the !
supreme bench: besides, his de
feat leaves north Georgia without j
a single representative in that au-!
gust body.
Election By the People,
To elect all officers by the peo
ple is a popular and catchy idea,
and recently there has been quite
a considerable sentiment in favor
of abolishing the present system
of electing judges and solicitors by
' the legislature, and providing that
■ these officials shall be elected by
* popular ballot.
1 That there are grave and serious
objections to the present system no
man who is acquainted with the
I facts will deny; but there are plen
ty of thoughtful conservative men
who doubt whether these evils
would not be aggravated, rather
1 than lessened by the change pro
-1 posed.
c Human nature is but human na
ture, after all, and a judge who is
. to preside in cases where the rights
> of property, liberty and life ar* j in
i’ volved ought not to be hampered,
even in the slightest degree, by any
sense of political obligation toward
any of the parties involved ; for it
sometimes happens that even good
men are swayed unconsciously in
j their opinions by their feelings of
j friendship or prejudice.
YY’e believe it is in North Caroli
na that the judges are elected by
the people but are not permitted
to serve in the circuits in which
’ they are elected, but are re
quired to serve in rotation in the
different circuits throughout the
state. If this method is practica
ble it would obviate some of the
most serious objections to the e-
I i lection of these officials by popu
j lar ballot.

Pope Dead.
Gideon Pope, a colored merchant

a white man two nights ago. Pope
has since died, but lived long e
nough to give a faint description

charge, but the description given
by Pope fits him.
SIOO Eeward SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medi
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars Reward for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials. Address,
