Chambers Proposed Primary.

The senatorial succession is a very warm
number in this state-so much so that pub
lie sentiment over it will soon crystalline,
and almost every citizen will hold an opin-
ion that all the persuasion and tricks of
politics cannot dislodge. The real question
relates, in many quarters at least, to the
best or better manner of giving that senti-
ment expression. Many plans have been
suggested, and over in Chambers county a
new one appears in the columns of the La
fayette Sun, paper that is always on
deck. The Sun proposes a primary of sem
atorial expression, primary district, and
apart from all other issues, and here are
its reasons for such a primary:
1. 1t would place the candidature of each
gentleman wholly on merit.
2. 1t would divorce county affairs from
this senatorial fight and relieve candidates
of complications that might arise should
there he a general mixture of the two
8. 1t would insure the voice of the peo-
pie being heard in the matter.
4. 1t would, in short give the people or
Chambers county an opportunity of select
ing their choice for senator without COM
plications with other candidates for Of
fees.
.. As congress convenes at an early date,
and Senator Morgan will return there. and
our people desire to hear him, this will af-
ford them the opportunity.
In Chambers county the proposed prima-
ry would be held in December, and the de-
cision would operate as instructions to the
legislative nominees of April. There is no
harm in any open and square expression of
public sentiment; in fact, there is much
gain, for it gives the average citizen a
voice that has long been selfishly denied
him, and it accustoms him to direct partic-
dpation in public affairs. 1t puts clique
rule out of sight. 1t is wholly good, even
if 1t be inconvenent. But if the roads are
dry, the citizens of Chambers will not mind
the Inconvenience of an extra referendum.

William Cullen Bryant. HI
Once this soft turf. this rivulet's sands
Were trampled by a hurrying crowd, -
And fiery hearts and armed hands ID
Encountered in the battle cloud.
Oh never shall the land forget
How gushed the life blood of her brave, ;
Gushed with warm hope and valor yet, J.
Upon the soil they Sought to save. =
Soon rested those who fought; but thou,
Who minglest in the harder strife n,
For truths which men receive not now,
Thy warfare only ends with life.
Yet, nerve thy spirit to the proof,
And blench not at thy chosen lot;
The timid good may stand aloof,
The sage may. frown, yet faint thou not!

Truth. crushed to earth. shall rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers;
But error, wounded, writhes with pain,
anu N''' ~ - st
Yea, though thou lie upon the dust,
When those who helped thee flee in fearss :
Die full of hope and manly trust, 7
Like those who fell in battle here.

Another hand the standard wave.
Till from the trurnpets mouth is pealed
& The blast OF triumph Ger thy gravel TX

just blot his signature. Every bureau chief
has human blotter. corbin sits all day
and signs his name, and signs his name, and
signs mis- name, and barks at people who ar
rest him temporarily in the occupation
and at his side stands man who blots his
signature. The monotony of the thing
would drive an ordinary man frantic. If
they would only employ boys to do the
blotting; 1t is such CALLING thing to see
man who could toss a barrel of flour on his
shoulder patiently doing the blotting.

REFLECTIONS OF A, BACHELoK.

From the New York Press.
Women get bald just as much as men do
only the man is a lot more honest about It.
When the girl cries at a wedding it is con-
sidered the mans duty to try to look sorry
already.
A really modest woman is one who doesn't
think she is quite as good looking as she
!. thinks everybody else thinks she is.
If the average man told the truth about
why he got married he would say 1t was be-
cause he was too tender-hearted to say
"No."
A woman can believe there will be nS
marriage in heaven and yet just naturally
expect to see some of the angels wearing
trousers.
