Don Cameron's term as United States
senator from Pennsylvania Will expire
March 4, 1891, and the report has APP
peared that Postmaster General Wanna
maker is arranging to succeed him.
Heretofore just before the expiration of
senatorial terms somebody has ever been
announced as working to succeed Mr..
Cameron, with fair chance of success.
But somehow the son of Simon has al
ways got there. 1t must be allowed,
however, that he has never had a Wanna
maker sort of a man TO oppose him, and
with all Don's adroitness John may get
away with the senatorial baggage; that
is, if he sets his head TO.

AT HOME FROM BRUNSWICK.
Work of the State Association of
Superior Court Clerks.

Work of the State Association of
Superior Court Clerks.
Mr.. j. K. P. Carr, clerk of the superior
court and president of the State Association
of Superior Court Clerks, returned home
yesterday morning from Brunswick, where
he had been in attendance on the annual
convention Of the association.
Mr.. Carr speaks in the highest
terms of praise of the hospitality
of the Brunswick people, which
he says was unbounded. Steamboat
rides, carriage drives a banquet, and the
most kindly and cordial reception in every
direction marked the occasion. and he says
those who were so fortunate as to be the
recipients of such bounteous hospitality at
the hands of the Brunswickians will always
cherish the visit and look back upon the
occasion with pleasure.
The attendance was not as large as
usual, and for a number of causes.
Brunswick was TOO remote from
the Ger ter of tho state; it was a
postponed meeting, from July to Septem-
Der, aud the railroads had shown lack OF
consideration in the matter of reduced
rates. The best arrangements that could
be made with them was that if 100 mem
bers were present full fare should be charged
them one way and one-thIrd fare returning.

smaller counties receive In the way of fees
in the course of six months, but little more
than the expense Of making the trip to the
convention. The next annual convention
will be held at Gainesville a more central
point, on the third Wednesday OF July, 1891,
and a much larger attendance Is expected
There was not great deal of business
transacted by the convention. A com nittee
was appointed consisting of J. X. p Carr,
chairman; J. s. King. W. NJ Wilson, W.
A. Ecord, J. E. Hurst, j. T. Rawlins and
w. h. Berrie, to suggest, at the next COZ
vention, such matters as may be of interest
to superior court clerks and
sheriffs. The committe, was also
instructed to draft bill to be presented to
the general assembly, authorizing the col
lection of fees at the rate of fifteen cents
per 100 words for the general indexing of
deeds. mortgages. records, and other papers
OF record for which no compensation is now
allowed. Also to draft bill to
providing that no divorces case
shall be filed or docketed until the
libelant shall have deposited with the clerk
$40, on account of the clerks and sheriff's
costs, and making it the duty of the court,
at auy stage Of the case, on motion of the
clerk, to require additional deposits, as the
case may call for. Mr.. Carr says that few,
If any, of the fees of the superior
court clerks and sheriffs are now paid in
divorce cases, and as they are multiplying
a very large amount Of such work is put
upon them without any present or future
hope of remuneration, without the legisla-
