There is a very audible viii speT
in the atmosphere that the county
court system must CO. In many
sections of the state the opinion is
openly expressed that the manifest
unfairness of the present method of
assessing taxes Is attributable TO
the fact that magistrates elect
themselves assessors in violation of
law. While it is true that magis-
trates do openly violate this law, it
does not appear to follow nccessari-
~ that they must assess property
unfairly because of their illegal
election. Indeed it is not quite APP
parent that an assessor is more or
less tempted to undervalue proper
ty because of the method by which
he was elected. 1t seems that an
assessor who is legally elected is
subjected to exactly the same temp
tation that assails one who lis inn
properly elected. While this objec-
lion to the present system Is OF no
weight it may possibly serve TO
abolish the system and inaugurate
a less expensive court. 1t now
seems probable that the general
clamor for a change will soon
bring about a new system. While
the present system is open TO many
serious objections that invite free
discussion, it would be well TO con
tinue the present court. despite its
abuses until some definite and feast
plan is proposed for a more
economical and efficient court.
There is wide difference between
pointing out real objections, and
proposing an adequate remedy.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND.
How an Autauga Co unity Man

Reaped Fifteen
Thousand

Mr., VIM. Hunt of Vineton, twenty
miles from Selma, in Autauga county,
on the East Tenn, Va, r. R., was the
lucky man in the May drawing oflthe
Louisiana State Lottery. In converse
ton yesterday with Times reporter at
his home, the following questions were
asked and answers given:
81 am told you struck the Louisiana
State Lottery rich said the reporter.
"Well," replied Mr.. Hunt, 81 don't
know whether you call it rich or no,
but certainly have $4,000 which L
drew in the lottery on the 18th of May"

posted my ticket on the 18th of May
with the City National Bank of your
city, and on the 22d, five days later,
| had my money; and here" continued
the speaker, "I want you to say that Il
I had no trouble about getting the
amount my ticket called for. 1t came
promptly"
In conversation further Mr.. Hunt

chandise some. l was behind five or
six hundred dollars when L drew the
money from the lottery; but that put
nae on my feet, and paid nay debts.

and will turn the other into paying in
vestments. For 81 I drew FIFTH of the
capital prize, and / am going to cOntin-

lieve the business is properly carried on

A communication in this issue,
headed death in the Pot" charges
that the Waynesboro convention is
intended to defeat prohibition
rather than the republicans. The
charge Is not preferred in tangible
shape, as the writer gives no speci-
fc reason for the suspicion, but we
can say authoritatiVely thst the
mass meeting here the first Monday
in this month was not called to-
gether with any such intention that
no spirit of this kind dominated the
meeting, and the delegates are gen
Elemen whose business and social
standing is sufficient guarantee that
they will not fight covertly anything
they advocate openly. The meet
ing here was a democratic mass
meeting. 1t was not controlled by
the whisky ring or any other ring
or clique, and if the Waynesboro
convention is to be run in the in
terest of any organization except
the democratic party the Giles
county delegation will be very diff
cult to manipulate. We hope and
believe our correspondent has been
misled by his zeal for the cause
and that he has little ground to
fear the whisky ring influence at
the Waynesboro convention.

Judge Matt. W. Allen created
eight sensation in Nashville last
Friday by orderiBg the arrest of
Attorney General Washington. The
attorney general did not arrive
quite as early as the judges and 40
attachment was issued to bring-him
into court. Mr.. Washipgton's
friends were quite indignant over
the affair and some of them charge
that Allen was impelled by a desire
for cheap notoriety-a thing which
he certainly does not need, being
widely known already as judicial
Sam Jones'" His official acts have
usually been open to criticism In
that his unconventional admins
tration has established some rather
dangerous presidents. At the same
time it is very generally conceded
that he has done more to suppress
vice in Nashville during his official
career than any other man ever did
in the same length of time.

East Tennessee don't seem to ap-
preciate the way Ingersoll was treat
ed in the convention. The vote
cast for him on the first ballot in
dictates that he is quite popular
and enjoys the confidence of the
people. Why not nominate him fer
governor and repair any real or
fancied wrong done him and his
section. He is eminently qualified
and has the great advantage of not
having antagonized any faction OF
the party. We may possibly need
all the democratic votes in East
Tennessee. In any event it can dc
no harm to nominate to Office men
whom the entire party can support
heartily. We need to lay aside al
fractional feeling, and to shelve as
many as possible of the sleek poll
tieians who have fattened on party
splits.

The unusual promptness and har
mony with which business was de-
spatched by the judicial convention
at Nashville is largely attributable
TO the selection of Hon. Z. w. Ew-
ing as chairman. He indicated in
a very brief address that they went
there for business, and, there was
no reason why it should not be
promptly disposed of. This idea OF
course was not pleasing to the
"dark horses" and their friends, but
there was no ground on which they
could decently object, and they qui-
city acquiesced. There can be no
doubt that the will of the people is
more often shown by the first bal
lot than after days of trading and
juggling. Delegates who favor an
unpopular candidate naturally try
to make a deadlock. If the chair
is at all vascillating the convention
has opportunity to get in a tangie.
Then, after balloting several days
they compromise on some man that
nobody wanted or even thought of
before the deadlocks.
Numbers of our exchanges are
commenting favorably on the man
ner in which Mr.. Ewing performed
the arduous duties of presiding OF
1icer. His brief address in accept
ing the Craftsmanship, was entirely
novel, and meets with universal APP
proval.
