When we read of the "carrying-on in connection with the approaching marriage of Congressman Longworth and Miss Roosevelt. we feel that we are barred from ridiculing the fuss that Is made over royal marriages. Our own people, some of them at least, arc as crazy as those of any other country can be. and in some respects are even more shameless in their disregard of the feelings of the lady herself, Ameri- cans can be curiosity mad as well as others.

Making n Ring.

LtA6Nt
 There are rumors that an effort per haps tentative. is now making 10 form a ring that will include one man and but one for each place and defeat all others. The idea is obvious. II is to defeat the effort Of the State Commit tee to give every man an equal chance in the primary. If the ring Is formed. naturally all not on 1t will oppose it.
 While this would add zest to che campaign it would also be too unfair to De considered by the people of kindly spirit.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1908.

The Augusta. Ga. Chronicle is one Of the oldest papers in the Union. It was established in i79s and has been regularly published ever since. In and around Augusta was a scene of con- Siderable activity during the revolu- kionary war. The Chronicle now pub fishes daily extracts from its columns 100 years ago. Recently 1t published from its file of 1900 the announcement of R. L. Watkins. stating that he would visit his law office in Augusta only at certain times and that he would att tend the meetings Of the Judges at Louisville, which was then the capital of the State. The Chronicle Of the present asks. What did he mean by the meeting of the Judges?T Perhaps in the early days of Georgia. as in the early days of Alabama. the Circuit Court Judges, or Superior Court Judges. ss they are known in Georgia. met at the capital and decided on appeals from tL different circuits. That was the Supreme Court before a separate trib- unaI was established.
 Tn an issue of recent date The Chron- icle published the following, which will be interesting wherever the game of golf Is played: @
 The issue of April 9th, 1900. contains a brief notice that may surprise many to read, since it shows that the links of the Country Club. which numbers so many devotees just at present. are not theN first. apparently. over which Augustus lovers of the game have fol- lowed the elusive ball. It Is as fol- lows:
 are requested to meet at Mrs. M'Laws's S, this Evening at o'clock"
 Golf in Augusta in 1900 gives the game a dignity in this community. in SO far as age is concerned that few. jf any. probably were aware 1t pos- sessed.
