AGAINST RATIFICATION.

/ EDS. JOURNAL: | see that Cover
nor Gordon has published the
amendment to the constitution, an
act to amend Par. l, Sec. II of Ar
ticle 6 of the constitution of this
State, so as to increase the number
of Judges of the Supreme Court of
this State, from three to five to con-
sist OF Chief Justice and four As
sociate Justices. Now, then, the
question is ratification OF no Tatif-
cation, |, as voter and tax payer
of Cobb county, am opposed to the
amendment. Our taxes are already
too heavy. 1t seems that every leg
islative body tries to make the bur-
den heavier instead of making taxes
lighter. If the amendment is rati-
fed, two Supreme Court Judges will
be added, on a salary of $4,000 each,
which will make taxes still higher.
The, people are burdened with taxa
ton and still the cry is more offices,
more taxes and more oppression.
What is the complaint made by the
court? | understand that it is too
much work. If the work is too
heavy for the present court, let
them walk out. | think we have
good men who will take. their places
and do the work without complaint.
If | understand the present constl-
tuition, two judges form a quorum
Now, if, under the present act, we
have five, three will form a quorum.
So you see it will be but one court
after all. The truth is simply this,
that two more kid gloves may be
added, that two can be on furlough
at time, doing nothing, getting
salary of $4,000 each, and the peo-
pie vii have to be taxed higher to
pay the said $4,000. Now to the
voters of Cobb, black and white,
when The election comes in October
for members of the general assembly
go to the polls and vote against rat
ifcation. We want no more Offices.
our taxes are already burdensome.

PAYING FOR THE COLT.

About seventeen years ago farm
er named Gleason, living northeast
of Independence, one morning found
one of his colts dead, and there was
certain evidence that it had been
killed by some one. The young man
supposed to have killed the colt left
the country about that time, and
very little was heard from him until
last fall, when it was learned that
he had been converted and Joined
the church. A short time ago the
young man returned to Buchanan
county for visit. While there he
went TO Mr.. Gleason's farm, and
meeting that person, said II be-
lieve you lost colt several years
ago" Il did," was the reply. "Hcw
much was it worth ?" was the next
question. about $50" evil this
pay for it?'' said the visitor, hand
ing cut 500. eyes and more too"
said Mr.. Gleason, handing back $40.
The young man took the $40 and
departed starting for Nebraska that
day. This is the kind of religion
that is needed.

4 YERITABLE DEMON.

The State of New York has to be
credited with, perhaps, the most
devilish act OF the year. A brute,
in the disguise of a man, having
gouged out one of his wife's eyes
two years ago, after numerous as
saults upon the poor woman, COM
pletely blinded her recently, and
acted with such ferocity that her
life is almost despared of. The
wretched wife forgave the first Of
tense, and wore glasses to conceal
her awful wound, but the beast of a
husband was incapable of appreciat-
ing her pardon or repenting of his
crime. He even hid her spectacles,
and generally made her existence
what may not inaptly be called
hell on earth. The injured wife
tells how her husband assailed her
while she held grandchild in her
lap. She said: II raised my arm
with the baby in front of me, and
he put his hand up under my arm
and struck my face. | screamed
and the cook came in and took the
