anr Local Cam,iH.

A local comfy, or courtesy. has
grown up between the counties OF
Hickman, Fulton aud Graves. that the
Senator from this District should al
ternate between the COMMITTEES. This
comfy exists only as courtesy. and
sometimes the rare commodity is liable
TO be obScured by what might be sup
posed to be Grading between poliIi
ticians." There is nothing in the
"clainn Of a county '-unless the can
didate making such claims represents
issues acceptable to majority of the
voters OF the three counties. aud also
possesses ability equal to, if not su
perior to, his competitors.
Such claim is not likely TO cut
much Of figure in the approaching
election, for that contest will most
likely involve issues more important
than local conrtesies A voter, who
wants The State constitution amended
