LET THE PEOPLE ELECT

The Ram bier is uncom promsingly in favor
Of the election of all officers by the people.
Even the postmasters, we believe, would give
more satisfaction if elected by the people of the
con- immunity affected; but especially are we in
favor of electing the county commissioners of
any county by the whole people Of the county.
The county commissioners are the guard
ians of the county's interests, and every man in
the county is personally interested ir having
capable and honest men, and the appointments
to this position should not be placed in the
hands of the grand jury or any other set of men.
Let the whole people have chance to say
who shall guard their nterests.-Cordele Ram
bier.
Vox populi, vox del, catches the crowd
We are not in favor of the election of all
officers by the people, not even postmastes, nor
county commissioners, county school COM
mssioners. If Editor Shipp's theory was car
ried to it's last analysis would find ourselves
electing grand jurors by the people. There are
many offices in government that should not
be dragged into the mire of politics, and that of
Justice-of-P Peace to Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court is one class of Offices that should be filled in
a different way, should never be submitted to the
popular vote, especially as long half the vot-
ers are uneducated black men who would sell
their ballot for drink.
