Power of Small County.

The power of the small county in the
convention has been done away with.
Heretofore its two convention votes
counted for something; now they trs
meaningless. Already the county pa.
pers have taken up and are talking
about this change in party methods,
and they don't like 1t. Anything saw
oring of shearing them of their power
has always met with their determined
opposition. Under the former plan the
&C untry counties were given the same
representation in the state convention,
comparatively, which they have in the
state legislature. Under the popular
vote plan, Fulton county, for instance,
has as much power in deciding the re-
suit is a dozen or fifteen of the smaller
counties of the state. Fulton may cast
10000 votes; there are many counties
in the state where the vote does not
go over 500 to 500
The race for railroad commissioner,
with the announcements of w. ID.
Branan and John III. James, has also
taken on some interest. 1t is pretty
we'll understood that they will run
against Commissioners George Hillyer
and Fuller E. Galloway. both of whom
were appointed by the governor. 50
far as is at present indicated, Commits
sioner H. w. Hill will not be oppos ed.
The candidates entering the field are
expected to select the men against
whom they will make the race, AID
there seems to be no question that
there is where the opposition will land.

When l was a lad my father had a mule

always lived in dread that | would. Hence
a big sigh of relief one day when the word
came to me that father had snapped "Old
Jim off. But I have been thinking OF
late how unjust 1 rave been to that mule
through all these years. The fact is, COM
paraticely speaking, that mule couldn't kick

can outkick her so far she wouldn't be in
