Byron Farmers' Club.

The Byron Farmers Club held It's De-
cember meeting at the spacious home of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Orr. There was
very good attendance, only two absent
ees. The members were more punctu-
al than usual,so the president called the
club to order at 1890. The male quar-
tette enlivened the meeting with soul
stirring music, interspersed at inter-
walls as follows "Let the lower lights be
burning" "The jolly old farmer" and
" Merrily glides our bark" A selec-
ton was read by Frank Borden, entitled
Business men on the farm, land which
showed that bushes principles applied
to the management of the farm lead to
profitable results.L. G. Kanouse report
ed the proceedings of the state meeting,
which was listened to with interest
The members seem to be agreed that
these state meetings are educators of
the farming community. The club then
considered the necessity of having dues
to raise funds to defray expenses of
delegates, present and future. A vote
was accordingly taken fixing annual
dues at % cents per family. Then the
secretary was made treasurer, so now
we feel that we are full fedged club.
Some debts having accrued, an-order
was drawn, and we were again out of
debt.
A. Orr read paper on "The power
OF the church in civil government.
The writer advocated that it is the duty
OF the church to work for pure and
honest men to fill offices of trust.
Retiring president Wiltse thanked the
club for the kindness manifested toward
him during the year
l.. B. Boyd was admitted to member
ship, and we adjourned to meet Jan II,
at l.. G. Kanouse's home. B. S. F.

Mr.. ]. ]. O'Brien. chief clerk at the
Lanier Hotel, at Macon, Ca. went TO
bed Tuesday night a poor man. work
Ing hard for salary. and Wedncs-
day morning he awakened worth
$4,000. A telegram brought the glad
tidings to O'Brien. and when he read
1t 1t was some time before he could
realize that he was really awake. 1t
was like dream, and it took second
telegram to convince him that 1t was
all true. Mr.. O'Brien's grandfather
was named Hays. and lived in Upper
airy, Ireland. He was O member of
Parliament and wealthy land owner
and a man of considerable prominence.
He never came to this country. Mr..
O'Brien's parents lived at Hooslck
Falls. N. Y. He went to Macon two
years ago to take the position of clerk
at the Hotel Lanier. He is a cousin of
Mr.. w. B. Strang. Sr. Mr.. O'Brien
says he does not yet know what he
will do with the money. The whole
thing has been so sudden that he has
not made up his mind. He is a young
man and unmarried.-Macon Tele-

ArIssIssIppI's JUDGsHIP.

The Supreme Court OF Mississippi
has rendered a decision to the effect
that the recently adopted amendment
to the Constitution of the State chang
ing the mode of choosing judges from
the appointive to the elective system
does not hold good. Tho decision does
not touch upon the merits of the ap-
pointive or elective system. but is
based upon the grounds that the
amendment was not properly pro-
posed. in that 1t contained more than
one provision, rendering 1t impossible
for people who favored one and OPP
posed other propositions to vote indis-
criminately. the other alternative pre-
scented being to vote for or against"
the amendment. Another ground of
the courts disfavor was that the
amendment had not been ratified at
the polls by a sufficiently large vote.
The court emphasized the necessity Of
the strictest conformity to the meth
DDS prescribed in the Constitution
whenever making amendments to the
fundamental law. The Mississippi
Constitution of 1890 made the Judgships
eppointive in order to avoid the danger
of having negroes elected to the bench.
Since the political control has come
safely into the hands Of the whites
popular sentiment has developed in
favor Of electing judges instead of hav-
ing them appointed by the Governor.
