Eastman Times Journal.
Hon. Mark Johnston of Baldwin county,
candidate for State School Commissioner of
Georgia, addressed gathering of Dodge county
voters at the court house Wednesday afternoon.
His coming was unannounced and few circus
lars Distributed on the streets after his arrival
furnished the only information our people re-
ceived that political address was to be deliver
ed.
Mr.. Johnston was introduced by Hon. John
f. DeLacy who served with him in the Georgia
legislature, the two having been personal friends
for many years.
Mr. Johnston spoke an hour and fifteen min
utes. His address was replete with interesting
information in regard to the educational affairs
of Georgia. He severely arragned State School
Commissioner Merritt for his conduct of the
affairs of Office ann charged that Merritt is in
league with the Chin & Co., book trust; that be
continually violates the Uniform Text Book law
by recommending the use of books not contract
ed for by the State, which books are sold exclu-
sively by CHM s. Co., and that he does not pre-
rate the public school fund within the time it
should be done, thereby leaving the fund in
some bank, when it should be in the hands of
the county school commissioners.

A WORD
 FROM BAILEY.

Referring to the Pierce testimony, Senator Bailey says that the Standard Oil company has no interest or con nection with the Tennessee properties for which he is the attorney. The Washington correspondent for the Chi
 cago Record-Herald quotes Senator Bailey as saying: My employment in this instance, as we'll as in all other instances, was such as any honorable lawyer is glad to accept, and my clients are entirely satisfied with the manner in which have protected their interests We. perhaps. have reached a time when the public is un- willing for a man engaged in any other business, however legitimate and hon orable it may be; and it may be that hereafter our senators and represen- tatives are to be made up of men who are wholly dependent upon their pub lie salaries for their living. If the pub lie chooses to dismiss men of affairs from its service and to employ only professional politicians it has the right to do so, but, as for my part, have no intentions of sacrificing my right to earn a competence for my old age, so long as I can do so in a perfectly honorable way and without neglectins my public duties. If choose to work while other senators rest or travel, intelligent men are likely to make that ground of complaint against me Not only do I intend to use ny own time in the legitimate practice of my profession, but I do not intend to hu' nor what seems to be morbid state of mind which demands an explana- ton for everything a man does, nc matter how entirely proper it may be
 The next thing you gentlemen of the press know the man who happen tc dislike you will be declaring that ycr are paid for what you write, and that declaration will be made with an ail of mystery which will be expected tc
 impress upon certain minds that ir
 making a living your brain and youl
 pen are guilty of something wrong.'
