BASIS 0E REPRESENTATION WAS FIXED BY COMMITTEE NO QUESTION AS TO THE NUM BER OF DELEGATES EACH.. COUNTY IS ENTITLED TO. The question has been raised, says the Constitution, as to what will be the basis of representation of the different counties in the coming state convention, on July 2, and papers in different parts of Gcoria have publish ed articles and interviews tending to show that the matter was one which might effect the political result. Asa matter of fact there is no ques tion whatever as to the representation from each county in the eomolng con vention, and the Agitation of it is no thing more or less than a tempest in a teapot. The raising of such a ques tion credits fine state democratic ex ecutive committee, which is composed of men from among Georgia’s foror most politicians, with very little fore sight. It would have been a error to have left such a matter as that unsettled. The committee rea lized that and provided against it. Each county is entitled to have double the number of delegates in the state convention as it will 'nava representative Is fn th.e legislat/ure| is what the* committee decided. In framing the resolutions which were adopted by the committee the usual form was followed on this particular subject, when a Thember of the sub committee raised the question as to which legislature was meant. Some one moved that the words "the next” he inserted before the word "legisla ture” and this was done. So the rep resentation in the convention will be based upon the number of represnta tivs in the next house. COI. HENRY T.

In noticing the llg..Jng of the taber nacle you say the 100 hundred power lamps were Inst,ailed by Mr. Harold Von Weller, the well known electri cian of the Brunswick Light and Wa ter company.

Ho is always willing and attentive to his duties, and I have only praise for him in the discharge of his duties. In time he may he an electrician.

The defendant will enter a plea of killing Shriver in self defense and this is where the battle of the case will bn made. There was no eye witnss to the killing except tin! wife of Shriver and she, too, of course claims that her husband shot Shriver in self de fense.
