Nominees for the Judgeships.

There Is very little, If any, room to find
fault with the nominees for judges of the
supreme court. The convention fulfilled
the expectations of the people by nominat-
ing men of ability and high character
There was an effort to make politics play
a part in the conventions work, but It
failed. The nominees owe nothing to any
faction, ring or clique of politicians. They
will enter upon their duties, IL elected, I'M
embarrassed by pledges or promises free
to discharge the duties of their high Of
fees without fear or favor.
And they will be elected. 1t is not prob
able that the populists will make nominal
tons. 1t would be useless for them to do
so Within their ranks they haven't law
yers Of such ability and popularity as
would justify hope of their election.
All the nominees are comparatively
young men. They are in their prime,
and will take such pride in their work
that 1t Is reasonable to expect that Geor-
gia decisions will become high authority
throughout the country.
All the nominees are graduates of the
University of Georgia. That is something
of which Georgians have reason to oe
proud. 1t is not necessary for them to
send their sons to the schools of other
states to be educated. In their own lead
ing institution of learning their boys can
get just as good preparation for the
battle OF life as they could in schools else
where which have greater reputation.
1t is a source OF satisfaction that the
supreme court is to be enlarged. 1t took
the people a good while to see the neces-
sity for charging it, Beginning with next
year the business of the court will be
dispatched with greater promptness. The
judges, while still having as much work
to do as they can do well, will not be
crowded, as they have been during the
J last few years.

Just Keeping Game.

Stories of noted gamblers were in order
last night, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat, when the following was told
of the late Charley Perkins: Charley was
playing seven-up with friend who knew
him very well, and Charley was not play
ing the squarest game in the world. His
friend demonstrated with him something
as follows:
Look here Charley, you know you can
beat me playing this game shoes TO
plates and 1 don't mind your winning
my money on the square, but you can
win it fast enough without cheating"
II couldn't cheat you; don't know how.
1 wouldn't If L could. and 1 couldn't If
would"
Spades were trumps, and Perkins was
the dealer when his friend, reaching
across the table suddenly, grabbed his
right hand and turning it over, exposed
the ace and deuce of spades, which he
was holding out in his capacious palm.
"Therel What do you call that If you're
not cheating, Charley?'
did you think l was trying to cheat
your"
'It looks like you were, doesn't it?"
oven, now 1 begin to believe that you
don't know much about this game. /
thought you knew seven-up pretty well,
but you don't seem to know enough to
pound sand"
"Well, know when see a man holding
out, any way"
II wasn't holding out you darn fool; 1
was keeping game. Don't you see?
You're two and I'm one"

wiz II Be Hatfield z

The agreement made by some of the
leaders of the Liberal and Citizens Clubs
to bury the differences Of the clubs and
in future, to have peace in the democratic
party of Chatham county, does not seem
to have the approval of the members
of the clubs. However, only few of the
members have expressed their views in
respect to it in the public prints. The ma
jority of each club may find the agreement
satisfactory when it is explained to them
by those who made it,
All good citizens have deplored the bit
ter feeling which has characterized the
campaigns of the clubs. The war of the
clubs has arrayed citizen against citizen,
broken of long standing friendships, driv-
en- customers away from merchants with
whom they have been accustomed to deal
and has hurt the business prospects of
the city. The energies of the people have
been expended in fighting each other for
the control of the city and county instead
of being employed in building up the city
and county. Leading citizens have been
so engrossed in local politics that they
have had no time to devote to the well
fare of the whole community. And it is
pretty certain that the longer the clubs
continue their fight with each other, the
more bitter will the feeling between them
become.
| If the rivalry between the clubs were a
friendly one, there would be no good rea-
son for the agreement which, 1t is alleged,
certain of the leaders have made, because
the result of the rivalry would be better
officials. The vote of the non-partisan
would be cast for the best men on each
ticket, and the club that nominated the
best men would be the victor, but the feel
ing between the factions has become so
intense that faction politics promises to
do the city far more harm than good.
Whether or not the agreement will be
ratified is a question that can be answer
ed only by the clubs. Doubtless they will
be given ample time to consider the agree
ment before it is brought before them for
their action.

The PIckpocket,. Liberality.

Alfred Henry Lewis. the well-known
Washington correspondent formerly
practiced law, and for several years serv-
ed as city prosecutor in Cleveland, o.,
says the Chicago Times-Herald. While
filling that office he was surprised one
day by the receipt of a telegram asking
him to come to Ashtabula, o., by the next
train to act as counsel for a prisoner
there
After considerable irresolution Mr.
Lewis decided to go. The prisoner prov
ed to be John Larney, the most expert
pickpocket this country ever produced,
and who is universally known in police
circles as ''Molly Matches a sobriquet
which he earned in his youth by disguis-
ing himself on one occasion as a match
girl.
J4arney and two companions were in
trouble. They had been working" the
crowds at a country fair in Greenville,
Pa, and had been very successful. They
attempted to ply their nefarious arts on a
train while going back to Cleveland, and
one old farmer discovered that he had
been robbed and raised row. The
granger's friends rallied to his support,
and the guilty parties were quickly spot
ted" and arrested. When Ashtabula was
reached the pickpochets were turned over
to the town officials and were locked up.
They wanted Lewis to get them out. The
Cleveland attorney found no difficulty in
accomplishing this. He began habeas
corpus proceedings and raised the point
that as the crime was committed on a
train running through Pennsylvania and
Ohio it was impossible to tell which state
should have jurisdiction. AS no one was
willing to swear that the crime had been
committed after the Ohio state line was
crossed the prisoners were released and
with their counsel took the next train
for Cleveland.
molly Matches was greatly elated over
his easy escape from what he feared
would be a long term in Jail, and was very
profuse in thanking Attorney Lewis, The
latter thought that $50 would be about
right for his services, and said so when
pressed to name his fee.
"Fudgen' remarked Larney, taking out
a good-sized roll, you're too easy. You
don't understand your own business as
well as you do the business of others.
Here's $780, and if that isn't satisfactory
there's more where that came from"
Mr.. Lewis accepted the cash and slowed
it away in an inside vest pocket The al
torney and his clients chatted Familiarity
during the hours ride to Cleveland. When
the train stopped at a suburban station
Larney and his companions arose and
shook hands with their counsel.
We'll drop off here and scatter before
we go into town." remarked Larney;
there might be somebody at the depot
on the lookout for US, you know"
Mr.. Lewis rode on into the city, jumped
into a cab and went out to his residence.
Arrivingl there he put his hand into his
man. 1t was empty. His pocketbook was
gone. So was his watch. So was a
diamond sparkler which had long orna-
mented his shirt front. So was that 5000

The south Educating.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem).

While the south in the last twenty years
has increased "a per cent. in population, it
has increased 1870 per cent. in its school
enrolment. One In five of the population
attends school, higher proportion than in
any country of Europe except Saxony. The
value of school property increased in the
south between 1874 and 1894 from $l6,OOO0OO
to ISL 100000. The average value of a
school house had risen In that time from
1913 to $64s While in 1874 the southern col
lege students in southern colleges number
ed Il, 1903. in 1894 the number was 25,SN. In
the eighteen years preceding 1894 there was
spent from public taxes on the schools
$500 900. 900. of which $SO. 600 went to the
education of the negroes. Nnety-five per
cent. of the whole sum is paid by the white
taxpayers. In every hundred whites
twenty-three are enrolled In the schools
and nineteen of every hundred colored. In
1874 there were enrolled 571, sos eoiored and
1.s27, 139 white children in 1894 the figures
were 1,42l,995 colored and S,SS5,593 white.
