Many of the legislators found that their idol was Clay. The last lly of summer is the j meanest of the lot. Spain needs to be took out in the back vark and spanked. Scientists say that the spots on the sun indicate an approaching cyclone. If Jack Cohen is to be believed Pap Howell got hoist with his own petard. The possum has always boasted of a snout; now he has got a bill — in the legislature. Jt is not every politiciat that be longs to the machine that under stands how to run the blame thing.

The railroads in Georgia are said to be in much better financial condition than they were two years ago. E. M. Clark, of Duke, Calhoun county, was so badly injured by a runaway team one day last week as to cause his death next day. 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.
