THE ELECTIVE JUDICIARY
AMENDMENT.

The LEADER desires to go on record
as emphatically opposed to the propos-
ed amendment to the Constitution pro
viding for an elective judiciary.
The present trend of politics is to-
ward bribery and corruption, and we
have seen quite enough to convince us
that the judiciary should be kept re-
moved as far as possible from mingling
in dirty political campaigns. Besides,
it is proposed by this amendment that,
while the people of the whole State are
to elect the judges, only those in the
several districts are to have voice in
choosing the nominees for the rest of
the State to vote for. If we are to have
an elective judiciary at all, we ought
not to be expected to elect men in
whose nomination we had no voice, and
who may be the creatures of bribery
and the most detestable machine poll
tics
The Democratic State Convention
didn't give the seal of its approval to
this amendment, and the Populist State
Convention, while favoring an elective
judiciary, condemns this Noel amend
ment as juggling cheat.
Besides the objections mentioned
above, it has been pointed out that if
adopted, the amendment is likely to
lead to numerous awkward and expen-
sive complications. The amendment
itself is held by ex-Chief Justice Camp
bell and other able lawyers to be I'M
constitutional in form.
Democrats and Populists should both
vote next Tuesday to put it to sleep,

Biography for Cadmus Anniversary,

PRESIDENT CHARLES SCHNORRENBERG
has been prominently the wit and
humorist of the Thirty Immortals; but
since the presidential robes were cast
upon him he has shown another phase
of character. His executive force has
been at times SO prominent that it is
thought by some that he brought airs
with him from the brave Council of
Aldermen. Like the Earl of Warwick
who won the title of King Maker, he de
serves the epithet, Committee Maker
Heappoints committees, meets commit
tees, treats committees. If he could be
induced to run for another term, it
would be very acceptable to the com
mittees, but hard on oysters
1t is an open secret that he is the
best read member of the Club. His
reading is deep and broad, including
such books as Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea" The Wide,
Wide World" "Following the Equa-
tor" around the World in 50 Days"
The Circuit of the Globe" paradise
Lost and Regained," Inferno" etc

THE CADMUS CLUB
Celebrates It's Second Anniver-
sary with Great BriIliancy at
the Lovely Home of Mrs.
Hattie sherman.


The second anniversary of the Cad
mus Club was celebrated on Friday
night last, at the residence of Mrs.
Hattie Sherman which is a very insipid
way of stating that a brilliant occasion
of rare merit and of infrequent occur
renee has passed into history. Not
brilliant in spectacular sense, but in
that higher realm of thought and feel
ing, where the immortal mind of man
finds expression and supreme au-
thority.
Pres. c. Schnorrenberg presided, and
to the roll call by the Secretary,
members responded with "Original
thoughts" which we're scintillant with
the tremulous light of lustrous intel
lects. Miss Ragsdale's, THE advanced
woman, like time and tide, waits for no
man." and Mr.. Woods, "A stick of
Wood can't burn long alone" are char
acteristic examples of the sparkles that
so brightly fell upon the quickened
senses of the large and attentive au-
dience.
1.-THE Years History" by Mr.. Brady
was read, in his absence, by Mr. Levin
thai. This was succeeded by a violin
trio, by Misses johnson, Hunt, and Mr..
Snyder, an original and beautiful com
position by the gifted professor, which
appealed strongly to the most savage
breast" and formed tuneful prelude
to Mr.. Cassedys ode to "Tommie" the
vapid hero of dreary waste of life,
who enlisted the sympathy of jewellers
among higher things than "Tommie'
could ever reach. Miss Seavey was
very lovely as she sang "A Night at
Cadmus," accompanied by Mrs. Eugene
Bee; while Mr.. NJ. d. McGrath claimed
unusual attention in The Witchery of
Caissa," awakening an interest in the
royal game of Chess. Miss Sherman S
"Weird Thoughts" were aptly spoken
in the tones that fell from her musical
finger tips upon the ivory keyboard of
her beloved piano. Following this, the
refreshing "Storiette" by Mrs. Butter
field was well received and Memories

of Miss Sumrall, was deserving of much
praise. king Cadmus up to Date. by

The Smith County Democratic exec
utive committee, it will be remembered,
met early after the late primary cleo
ton held in that county and declared
the same annulled, giving the defeat
ed candidate chance to run the race
over again in the general election, or
any citizen who wished to enter the
race with the successful candidates a
chance to do SO. This has caused the
successful candidates in the primary
to make another canvass of the county,
and the new candidates for the various
offices are plentiful.

He Knew a SPADE.

A good story is going the rounds OF
the school teachers in regard to an ex-
animation in music which recently &C.
Cured at the Frank building. The
teacher in music was examining the
class and Eafter they had sung the
Do, Re, Mi and few others the teacher
turned to the chart used to illustrate
the work and pointing to one of the
black notes she7asked the class to tell
her what note it was. Of course she
expected oneSof..them to say Do but he
didn't. After waiting for quite while
and receiving no response she called
on one of the six year old boys on the
front seat for an answer. The little
fellow studied the note for some time
and all at once his face showed that he
had solved the difficulty and he shout
ed out at the top of his voice, 40 l
know, It's spade" The groan of the
teacher was lost in the hearty laugh
which followed. She is assured how
ever that the boys are learning some
things beyond those which are on the
music chart.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Well Known Ladies Figure in an Exciting
Runaway Accident Wednesday.

Runaway Accident Wednesday.
A very exciting runaway accident
occurred north of 1.-THE city about six
o'clock Wednesday afternoon in which
three we'll known ladies of the city had
a miraculous escape from being badly
Injured.
Mrs. T. L. Moore, Mrs. G.. Y. Rede-
ker and Miss Hazelton had driven out
to the residence of Mrs. Frank Runals
to attend the meeting of the Fort
nightly club. Theystarted home after
dinner and when they b I'd reached the
hill just north of the Sanitarium one of
the horses attached to the carriage
stumbled and fell. The other horse
was frightened by the accident to the
travelling mate and started to run. The
driver leaped from the vehicle, and
while he was attempting to stop the
running horse the other one got up and
assisted in dragging. the carriage into
the ditch.
The ladies were all terribly fright
ened and leaped from the carriage. ALI
of them were lucky to escape without
a bruise. The horses ran into the city
and were caught near the Sanitarium.
One Of them was very seriously injured,
and it is feared that it will have to be
killed. The team was the property of
W. P. Kennard, and was considered
very valuable one.
