This year occurs the congressional
nominations and elections. Some of
the esteemed representatives will
have opposition, but this will not be
true of the able gentleman who repre-
sents the second Georgia district.
Judge Griggs has given the constlb-
uency of his district service of which
thew have reason to be proud, and of
which they are proud. They recog-
nize that he is the right man in the
right place, and there is not the
slightest doubt that he will be unani-
mously elected for another term. He
has attained national prominence, and
the district was never before so well
represented at Washington.

He basis his CLAIMS to prefer

form the duties of the office he
seeks and his fidelity to the dem
ocratic party since maturity.
He is an honorable man and
seeks the office strictly upon his

port of some of the county's best
citizens and asks consideration
at the party's hands at 1.-The pri-

will get into head where there
is such vacuum?
AN IMPENDING CALAMITY.

If the spectators, food trust
packers and other people who
have been making prices for farm
products carry out their designs,
farmers will receive for their
1904 crops more than thousand
million dollars less they will re
csive if prices can be maintained
on the present basis.
Besides the above are cattle,
hogs, dairy products, eggs, wool,
tobacco, apples and many other
crops, which if kept at fair prices
for the producer and added to
the above will exceed the stupen-
dous sum of one thousand mil
lion dollars.
Shall this thing come TO pass?
Farmers work longer hours at
harder labor for less pay than any
other class of people in the coun-
try, yet the people who have been
pricing their crops are determin-
ed to cut down the price of their
products through which they get
their wages.
True the farmers will have
living even when prices are low.
But how about the merchants and
manufacturers and all the people
dependent on them? The farmer
must sell at a profit if he will
have any money to spend. Big
crops at low prices have been the
curse of our country and when
they come again we will have a
panic and hard times. There
fore, everybody should work for
good prices for the farmers
crops and prosperity will con-
time.
If it was proposed to cut down
the salaries of public officials. a
great howl would go up. If it
was attempted to reduce the wa
yes of laborers in factories,
stores, mines, etc, every indus
try in the country would be tied !
up by strikes and every newspa-
per would take sides for or
against the proposition. But
when it is proposed to reduce the
farmers wages by the stupen-
lous sum mentioned not single
protest is heard. Not newspa-
per, not even the farm papers,
one, attempted to cham
pion the farmers cause against
he reduction.
The question may well be ask

whom We believe to be the Grim

peaceably, but free iuently at the
point Of Winchester. The dis
ease seldom takes a malignant
form and IS not contagious, but
1t seems TO thrive best among
immoral people. Nearly all
gamblers and bootleggers carry

that also of the fathers.

There is strong undercurrent
of opinion in Hickman and vi
cinity that foretells the defeat
Of the County Judge Kearby in
the next election. This feeling
has been intensified this week by
the failure of the judge to ex-
plain his reason for making such
3 low bond in the case against AL
The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1904-07-08

Moore, charged with running a
gambling house. In this case, it
will be remembered, the smallest
penalty is fine of $500 and one
year in the penitentiary. Judge
kearby fixed the appearance
bond at $500. He has not seen
tit to explain his action-if ex-
PLANTATION there be-to the pub
lie, and the public must necessa-
rily draw its own conclusions.
The facts seem to justify the
assertion that discrimination was
shown in favor of the prisoner to
an extent that had never before
been dared by a Judge sitting in
trial in this county. If this be
true, is it any wonder that GRIM
inals, run out of town by an in
dignant populace, have brazenly
returned and sought to defy the
people? What relief can be ex-
pected from a Judge who virtual.
ly invites a criminal 10 evade the
law by placing his bond at a fig
ure much lower than the mini
mum fine-to say nothing of the
accompanying term of imprison-
ment? By what method of rea-
soning can the law abiding peO-
pie expect justice at the hands
of judge who attempts to be-
friend criminals by the unwar-
ranted use of the powers reposed
III him, and then refuses an ex-
PLANTATION of his acts? Have
judges an inherent power that
absolves them from obedience to
the constitution aud the spirit
thereof? In view of recent hap
penings is it any wonder that
the people-the sovereign peo-
pie; they from whom is derived
all power-are asking themselves
these.questions? Aud is it any
wonder that this undercurr rent of
opinion is gaining in volume as
it proceeds? 1t is but natural
and right that those who desire
to see the laws impartially en-
forced feel Indignation at the
travesty upon justice that was
recently attempted in the Moore
case, and that if the county
judge is not answerable to the
law which he is sworn to enforce,
then he is at least answerable to
the people who made him
Judge, and can unmake hip as
we'll. This is not Il trivial affair,
but needs the most serious
thought of the sovereign people.
The spirit of the constitution is
too sacred an institution to allow
any man TO trample it under
foot, and if we cannot look to
our officers for an impartial ad-
of justice, wherein
lies the protection guaranteed to
Us by the constitution of our
country and the statutes of our
state?

In response to our article last

against Fulton county, because
We have put out a candidate to

zett,s. after saying that we are
--snxious to raise a quarrel, says
''The Clinton papers have
thought and said very little about
the legislative race, and the
Courier is paving the air to get
up a sort of lonesome frenzy

tterial for representative than we
have to offer, We shall close our
eyes to county lines; but as
matter OF fairness, there being
no overshadowing merit in Full
ton county's candidate, we think
Hickman county ought to name
the next representative. And
very likely she will at the proper
time.
We have never accused the
Clinton papers of thinking about
anything, nor saying very much

that Hickman county has any
