Frank Galloway.

The Birmingham friends of Frank Cal laway will be glad to learn that he has been appointed general counsel for the Atlanta Terminal company. As soon as his appointment Is confirmed by the board of directors he will begin active work for the company.
 Announcement of MT. Callaway's ap7 pointment was made on Thursday py General Agent J. s. B. Thompson, who Is also secretary of the Terminal com pany. The appointment came as sur prise to MT Galloway as he was not ex- pecting it and knew nothing of the selec- ton until notified by an Atlanta reporter.
 Galloway Is one of the best known young attorneys in Georgia, and for the past four years he has represented the Southern railway as Atlanta counsel.
 The new place Is quite promotion Tor him, as the Terminal is to be one of the largest in the south. He will have to look after many large transactions, especially while the depot is being built.
 MT. Galloway will continue to repre- sent the Southern railway company, and engage in other legal practice, but the po- sition of general counsel of the Terminal company will, of course occupy consider able time.

Our UnWritten Law.

The tendency in American states sheriffs, mayors and like executive officers to two terms--in some cases to one term This is done because such officers have such excellent op- portunities for machine building that, if so minded, they can make them selves more powerful than the people, and can thus re-elect themselves in- definitely, very much as rulers do in only revolution can dislodge them. If Latin America had fair elections it would not be pestered by revolutions, but the elections there are invariably conducted by the machine for the ma chine.
 American cities, and even states are not by any means free from this great evil. Many of our city governments dIS d IGplOdNu anu ny -Nolu, anu Cu' institutions thus stand discredited. ! And this very menace of machine rule is before tbis city today If Mayor Drennen can elect himself to third term, he can go on strengthening his political fences, until he can command any number of terms.
 The average citizen who simply wants good government at home cer- tainly does not want a machine-ruled city, and if he sees the danger con- fronting him he surely will not vote to break the conservative rule against third terms. He will stand by our wholesome unwritten lava law that is being actually incorporated into oity charters and state constitutions. The charter of this city does not contain it. and for this reason the voter should take extra good care to enforce 't when he goes to the primary on March 2.
