Editors As oFice-seekers.

The sensational quarrel between Editor
John Temple Graves and Manager Charles
Daniel, Of the Atlanta News. has dis
gusted Southern people, and Southern
newspapers have not failed to express
themselves plainly. Wh\n 1t was rumor-
ed that the two belligerents We're about
to get together the Charleston News and
Courier asked why not let them do so.
There is absolutely no danger to either
in ans encounter that might occur said
our Charleston contemporary. but II both
should be killed 1T would be greatly to
the advantage of Georgia
The Nashville American says in the
same connection that what these editors
want is advertising. and that 1t seems
to be characteristic OF Georgia editors
to discuss themselves.
Mr.. Graves is running for Office, and
used the paper which he edited to pro-
mote his candidacy. At the same time
the Constitution Is using its columns to
advance and promote the candidacy OF
It's editor, Mr.. Howell, for Governor, and
the Journal is running Mr.. Hoke Smith
against Mr.. Howell.
hat sort of thing is bad for Georgia
journalism, no matter who the candidates
may be. The editor has the same right
that citizens in other professions have to
run for office, but when he does so he
ought to quit newspapering. AT least
| he should not use his own columns to
boom himself for Office. The editor of
a newspaper should keep himself free
from all sorts OF entanslements. politi-
cal and otherwise. for thus only can his
opinions nave the full force Of a dis
Interested champion.

MAY BE A GREAT FIGHT.
Hon. E. w. Hubbard Will Run
For Judge If Place Is Created.

Hon. Edmund w. Hubbard. OF Bucking-
ham. arrived In the city last night and
announced that in the event the new
judicial circuit bill now in the House
shall pass. creating an additional circuit
out OF the counties OF Nelson. Amherst,
Buckingham and Flnyanna. he will be a
candidate for the judgeship.
Mr.. Hubard's is the only definite an
nouncement. but the field is expected to
be full of aspirants, If the bill becomes
law. The names OF former Judge William
G. Loving and Hon. Bennett T. Gordon,
OF Nelson; aiessrs. Iandon Scott and w.
x. Allen. OF Amherst. have already been
mentioned. and there is talk Of former
County Judge Moss. OF Buckingham. and
Mr.. Paul Petit. of E%iuvanna.
The people and bar of the counties
named seem earnestly TO desire the new
circuit, and the passage of the bill In Its
present shape would cause no great sur
prise.
