Qualifications a Matter Of Opinion.

Boiled down, the sub lance Of the
real OBJECTIONS against the lection Of
Judge Knauf is that he has not bad
the experience on the bench of older
judges, and that he is not qua ,itied
to consider evidence and constrLe
the law as a judge. This is the real
objection O. many who lake no stock
in the argument that a judge must
be selected by -parti,an COM
mirtee of lawyers, and not by a rep
resrn'atiye party convention.
But that Mr.Knauf is not qualified
for the place Is after all, only mat
Ter Of opinion, with some. With
others it is her opinion that he is
qualified. Who can set himself up as
a standard or judge of Judges? One
mans views is entitled 10 as much.
consideration as another land no final
decision can be reached until tt ial
of the mans qualifications in ques-
tion is given.
Most of the supreme JUICES who
have filled the bill on the bench of
lhis state were unknown and mex
perienced when nominated. A num-
i,er of them we're not as we'll known
in their districts as is Mr.. Knanf
Judge Young was an unknown altor-
ney to nearly every voter OUTSIDE of
limited area in one corner OF the
81 ate when he was first named for
the bpncn. He was an attorney at
Blihgate little |toRn.in Penlbina
county, making living as other at
torneys DO in small towns, and when
nominated many asked who is
Young?
Barring the personal prejndices
that soma persons in this county may
have for the young man who took the
lead in tn,ning out a long establish
ed court house ring. the above con-
siderations IN deciding on Mr..
Knanf'scase, should ma We fair weight.
His friends, judging from his work
in the past are confident that he will
II ise 10 i ht occasion and make sat-
.isfactory Judge as others have done,
If given a chance to do so. To say
in advance that he will not, or can
not, is not justified by the past re-.

a still stronger position behind the deep
lprecipitous gorge of Duck River. with
his left at Shelbyville. his center bent
back to the important railroad point of
Tullahoma. and his right extending up
tinto the "Barrens. of the Cumberland
Plateau at Manchester. This new line
was one of great strength. exceedingly
difficult of assault, and while effectually

! position from which he could threaten
Nashville and cooperate with the forces
| in West Tennessee and along the Mis-
SiSsippi.
/ The foothills of the Allegheny Noun
| tains begin within nine miles of Muir
freesboro, and the country rises in a
series of tablelands to the summit of
| the western of the main ranges. As
these rise they get more barren, sterile
| and thinly populated. effectually divid-
ing the State into Middle and East Ten

| waited plateaus north of the Tennessee
! are underlain with rock, upon which is
a tenacious clay hard-pan that will not
| permit springs to bubble up from below
nor the rain to sink deeply. The water
| therefore has cut deep canyons, through
which Battle Creek. Crow Creek. Elk
River. Duck River and other streams
run into the Tennessee. In the Winter
| the ground becomes a stretch of tena-
cious mud. and in Summer parched
desert. thinly wooded with pine. cedar
and stunted oak. A short coarse grass
| appears, Of little or no value for forage.
! Bragg expected the difficulties of this
| region to securely protect his right
| flank. while his center and left would
| be in the midst of the abundant supplies
of the fertile country of Middle Tennes-
see and northern Alabama. The rail
road running from Memphis to Chatta-
nooga connects at Stevenson, Ala, with
that running to Nashville, and at War
| Trace a short spur connects this road
with Shelbyvifle. These and the excel
! lent pixies furnished abundant facilities
for supplying every part of the new line.
and in a strategic sense Bragg was much
better off there than he had been al
Murfreesboro He was nearer his own
base, had far stronger line. and was
in a situation to assume the offensive
