JUDGE j. M. CRfCGS.

Judge j. NJ. Griggs presided over
Houston superior court last week for
,(u ge Hardeman, and the Perry journal
SAYS he made fine impression there.
Judge Griggs has held court in many
parts of the state since his advent upon
the bench, and everywhere words OF
praise have been bestowed upon him.
With thorough knowledge of law, quick
perceptive powers, strict impartiality,
dignity becoming his position, and firm
ness that is always tempered with courte-
sv. he adorns the bench and wins the
respect and confidence of all who are
interested in the business of the courts
owe. which he presides. He holds the
scales of justice with an even hand, and
seldom is the supreme court called upon
to review case that was tried before
him.
Judge Griggs is candidate tc succeed
himself. and the indications that he will
b. reelected without opposition by the
| legislature which is TO convene next
Wednesday are very gratifying.

headache may be cured by it; touch
of rheumatism or neuralgia Quoted.

SAFEGUARDS ABOUND THE BALLOT.

That Georgia'S ballot system can, and
should, be improved no Intelligent
man who has watched our elections will
care to deny. There are many evils that
need correction, and the approaching
legislature could not do better service
than by giving this matter the serious
attention its Importance demands. In
this connection THE News would COM
mend to that body, for it's careful consid-
Grafton, the following timely remarks
from the Augusta Chronicle:
"The tendency of the Zines is toward
greater restrictions being thrown about
the ballot box, and these restrictions
should tend toward establishing the
ability of the voter to decide for him
self what ticket he wants to vote. The
curse of the present system is the igno-
rance and the purchaseable character of
a large proportion of the men, both white
and colored, who have the franchise.
There is no good reason why the vote of
dn tlnI61ilStHl uICtLI pAAONANA W AAAt4Oh W
the purchased ba lot of man who does
not know who is president Of the United
States, does not know the difference be-
tween any two parties in the country,
and actually cannot tell whether the bal
lot which is put into his hands is really
the one which he has been paid to vote.
"Tho day of public schools is bring
ing about protest against this sort of
thing, tand the ballot which has to he
deposited in Secret and which requires
some degree of intelligence in its selec-
ton and deposit, on the part of the vo
ter, is tho one which the people will de-
mand. Honest elections, in which the
ballots represent the actual choice of
the intelligent citizens of community
and state are the only safeguards of re-
publican institut ions and popular Iber
ty."

THE Albany Herald thinks Judge Go
Der should resign since the reputation
given him by the people of his own cir
cult. The demand of the people for an
absolutely spotless judiciary is empha-
sized by the returns from the counties
in the Blue Ridge circuit on the mat
ter of the constitutional amendment to
increase the number of supreme court
judges. The people of those counties
believed that if the amendment should
be ratified Judge Gober would get one of
the justicash. ps, SO they voted against
the amendment, being UNIV illing to have
upon the bench man against whom
there are serious charges.

Now One Brave soldier Saved the Life OF
a Newly Found Companion
NJ. Louis Viardot tells the follow
Ing incident Of famous iattle:
1t was in 1855, the night Of the
terrible battle Of 1nkerman, when
the long disputed field had been taken
and retaken several times, that two
soldiers lay dying side by side on the
ground, which was saturated with
blCod one was Frcnchman, the
other a Russian; the former had his
chest pierced by q ball, the latter his
leg troken--possibly they had been
struck at the same time.
Night came on, and with 1t the cold
increased; the wounded men d ew
nearer to each other and clapped
hands, and In some manner exchanged
good wishes. But soon the Russian,
who shivered with cold, fell into Q
heavy slumber, and only having his
thin cloth coat over him this sleep
must have been fatal. When he
woke toward morning, and gradually
recovered consciousness he found
himself carefully wrapped In o warm
military greatcoat, and found 1t was
a French greatcoat. His unfortunate
companion, feeling that his hours
were numbered, had had just strength
enough to take his own great coat On
and wrap his new friend IN II, then,
with a mind perfectly at rest, he had
lain down again and quietly breathed
his last. The wounded Russian wat
taken to a hospital later the same
day, aud In time he recovered; but
as he remained cripple, he was sent
home to his own village. He carried
home with him q button of thu
French great coat to which he owet
his life, and for which he had tn
highest vcneration

Babies aud Barns.

A happy young iather and mother
on u farm In Pennsylvania had been
enjoying the looks OF their first born
son for q week, when their large,
new barn burned. A year or two
later, when this little boys hrst little
sister was q week old, tho big and
handsome barn built to replace the
urst one caught fire and went down
also.
A second little sister arrived the
next summer. on the third OF July,
and the next day, while the eldest
little boy was PLAYING with fireworks,
the third barn was burned.
Years went on, and the farmer had
built two big barns for his increasing
needs, when one tine day he was tod
that he was the father OF twins For
q moment he stood dumb: then he
laughed and said:
''G0od! that's the way 1t ought TO
be. I've got two barns now; u barn
to burn for each twin. Twins Is
right"
But at last accounts barns and
twins were both prospecting, and the
farmer believes that his luck has ini-
proved.

An American by Adoption.

An American by Adoption.
Not few Scandinavians and othe rs
IN Chicago and the Northwest gener-
ally have pleasant 1ecollections Of &C.
quaintance with Hjalmar Hjorth Boye-
sen, now a professor in Columbia col
lege, New York. The professor was
born in Fredericksvaern, a little naval
station in the south of Norway, where
his father was professor Of mathemat-
les In a naval academy. The elder
Boyeson was an enthusiastic admirer
OF the United States, having spent sew
eral years in this country. Whea HAL
mar had completed his education his
father asked his two sons whether
they desired to live at home or try
their fortunes in America, at the same
time Informing them that he had de-
posted sum Of money with a friend
In Chicago. This either Of the boys
could have by applying for it in person.
The two youths started for this coun-
try, and took up temporary quarters
in Urbana, Ohio. The younger re-
NAMED there, while Hjalmar came to
this city, where he secured a position
on a Norwegian weekly which had
just been started. The money he sent
to his younger brother After a years
work on the paper Hjalmar, who had
literary ambition, became convinced
that success was unattainable without
a thorough knowledge of the English.
He, therefore, resigned his editorship,
and, after securing a position as Latin
and Greek tutor in an Urbana college,
applied himself diligently to the study
OF the English language. In vacation
time he visited Harvard college, where
he secured employment as translator
of Norwegian works. A book which
he had written attracted the attention
Of some of the college celebrities, who
interested themselves in securing a pub
Usher for it, and since then the clever
Norwegian author has had comparative
ly plain sailing.

The Dog on Guard.

One of the postomce officials of Bos-
ton is the owner Of a bulldog that he
would not part with under any circum-
stances. This dog considers it his
special duty to ride to and from the
depot and postofice On the mail wagon
and keep guard Of the mail sacks, says
the Globe. He has followed this GUS
tom for number Of years. One night
after the unloading Of the mail car he
started to ride, as usual, on the bags
in the wagon, but when the postofice
was reached he was not on board.
This was strange, for heretofore no
temptation had ever been strong
enough to lure him from his post. The
sacks were delivered, and as the man
called them over one was found to be
missing. The wagon driver hurried
back to look along the streets. After
searching over good part Of the route
he suddenly discovered the dog sitting
in the gutter wagging his tail, and evil
IDENTIFY overjoyed at being recognized.
On going up to him the driver found
the dog sitting on the lost mail sack.
He had evidently noticed it when it
fell from the wagon and had immedi-
ately jumped off and stood guard over
it.
