To the Editor Of the Ledger; 'i..fi
G So much has been justly said in re-
gard to the claims Of DR.. George A.
Mathes for the position of Floater that
we OF Fayette county think that an in
dorsement of him by our people is
hardly necessary. A short paragraph
in the Appeal Of this morning which
claims that j. NJ Galloway is the choice
of this county, deserves attention. |
would like to know how any one knows
cho is the choice of Fayette when no
public expression Of the wishes Of the
people has ever been made? ! was in
the Convention held at Somerville few
weeks ago, and was a witness to the fact
that the friends OF DIR. Mathes triedto
obtain an expression Of the Convention
in regard to his claims. j. NJ. Galloway
was present, and was spoken OF as
candidate also. One Of lis friends,
who was delegate, opposed any
expression of the Convention on
the doterial question, and said
that the delegates from Fayette ought
not TO be instructed. His speech pre-
vailed, and the question was not consid-
cred, although DR.. Mathes was pledged
to abide by the vote Of the Convention.
Were j. NJ Galloway's friends afraid to
abide the result Of that Convention II
looks so. There are now three candi-
dates from Fayette for Floater-Dr.
Mathes, DR.. A. V. War; and Colonel j.
NJ. Galloway. All are pledged to abide
by the primary election TO be held in
Shelby county next Saturday. They
all have their friends up here in Fsyette,
but am satisfied that Mathes is much
the strongest man, and l am told that
he is also very popular in Shelby. The
surplus vote of Fayette is about one
thousand votes, while the surplus vote
Of Shelby is nearly three Thousand. !
am q resident of Payette, but ! am Will
ing for the fractional part of Shelby to
be fully represented in the Floaterial
Convention on the 18th Of August next.
/ can say that the masses Of the people
in Fayette are satisfied with the action
Of the Executive Committee Of Shelby
county in regard to the primary cleo
tons. Very respectfully,
OLD CITIZEN.

OUR City Schools have been the pride
of the State, and have been supported
literally by the people. The chickering's
and little jealousies engendered in the
School Board are of little interest to the
people, although such proceedings have
bad effect upon the school system. The
school visitors are elected by the peo-
pie to attend particularly to the schools,
and not for the purpose Of carrying on
kind Of semi-scholastic warfare Last
Monday evening, at a meeting of the
School Board, Mr. W. z. Mitchell, a
thorough and competent teacher, was
elected President, vice DR.. Maury, re-
signed. All that the people desire is
that the schools be carried on in the
most systematic manner.

The number Of accidental deaths
caused BY the reckless and careless
handling Of firearms is rapidly inereas-
ing. If every man who points a gun or
pistol at a fellow-being were sent to Jail
for six months, it would probably have a
salutary effect in stopping the practice
In Michigan the pointing of frearm,
loaded or unloaded, at a fellow-citizen,
is adjudged a misdemeanor punishable
by fine and imprisonment, and il damage
comes of such criminal folly, the perpe-
traitor is held responsible, financially
and criminally. Such Law in Tennes-
see would not be out Of place.

The total. vote OF the United States
this fall will be enormous. IN most of
the States the negroes vote for the first
time at Presidential election. As we
have now full forty millions Of people,
and as our average vote is about one to
five and half, we shall take probably
seven million and half Of ballots. In
1910, thirty-two years ago, when the en-
tire vote was brought out, after most
exciting canvass, it was about two mil
