December 9th, to fill the position.
The News today carries the an
nouncements of five good citizens
who are before the people for the
office, and the woods are said to be
literally full of prospective candi-
dates. No less than dozen others
have been talked of in connection
with the race, and while all will not

Suing a Convict.

The pinch OF the panic is causing
business men of every line and char
acter to push their collections, and
there is more suing and foreclosing
OF papers in a small way than in
many years before. Nobody is being
sighted in the invitations to settle
up, and among those just issued
through legal process is one to a de-
linquent debtor who is too busily en-
gagged in working the county's roads
TO give attention to his private af-
fairs. He must appear in court, how
ever, and tell why, if he can, a
judgment should not be issued in a
suit that has been brought against
him for $25.

ahead less than last year. Dawson

"The Death of Old Booze

Charlotte Observer.
The obsequies of Mr.. Booze
have been celebrated by many
North Carolina poets and the
last to lift up his voice in song
is a citizen of Moore. To one of
his felloW-citizens, who submits
it as a specimen Of near-poetry,
we are indebted for this effort,
which is too gleeful in tone to be
called either a chant or a dead
march, though the subject con-
sidered it ought by right to be
one or the other:
THE DEATH OF OLD BOOZE.
Old Booze is dead, that good old stuff;
We ne'er shall taste it more;
Now Prohibition is no "bluff,''
AS all the drunkards swore.
Glenn fought Old Booze a heavy fight,
And many a round he gained,
But on May the tWenty-siXth he sent
Old Booze from our fair domain.
Glenn said he'd cut the "pigeon wing"
The day Old Booze would die.
We don't believe he would dance step
If the whole U. S. went dry.
/ For Glenn an elder in the church,
/ The ruling kind, you know.
| How could he ever cut a step,
With that Presbyterian toe?
Good bye, Old Booze, " is what Glen
says,
When by its grave he passes.
"The little brown jug where you use
to live
Is now used for molasses."

Judge D. M. Furches Dead.

Hon. David NJ. Furches, for
mer Chief Justice of the State
Supreme Court, died at his home
in Statesviile Sunday night, Of
heart failure. He was 76 years
old. Judge Furches was for a
number of years prominent in
Republican politics in the State.
In 1894, when a fusion Of Popu-
lists and Republicans carried the
State against the Democrats,
Judge Furches was elected Asso-
ciate Justice Of the Supreme
Court. In 1901 Gov. Russell ap-
pointed Judge Furches Chief
Justice to succeed Judge Fair
cloth, deceased. In February
following impeachment proceed
ings were brought in the Legisla-
ture against Judge Furches and
Associate Justice Douglas. but
after a trial lasting several weeks
they were acquitted by the State
Senate sitting as a court Of i'm
peachment. The proceedings
were based on a decision render,
ed by the Supreme Court.
When Judge Furches' eight
year term as a member Of the
court expired in 1862 he returned
to his home in Statesville and re.
sumed the practice of law. II
recent years he appeared little il
the courts but devoted himself
to his office practice up to his las
illness.

KANSAS WOMEN IN OFFICE.
Many Have Been County Off
cials, Especially in Western
Parts of the State.

Kansas City journal
The appointment of Mrs. Levi
Cooper as probate Judge of
Mitchell county by Governor
Hoch and the discussions that
resulted from this appointment
have developed the fact that
nearly every kind of office in the
State except State offices has
one or more woman occupant.
Ms. Cooper is the only woman
in the State, who is serving as
probate judge. However. there
IS one woman county attorney in
Kansas. Miss Ola Heimline is
serving her third term as county
attorney of Sewaill county.
Western Kansas has had sever
al women county attorneys. but
the custom never appears to have
become popular in the eastern
part of the State. In Norton
county Kate Johnson has Just
completed a term as county
| treasurer. There are half d doZ-
en- or more county registers OF
deeds in the State and probably
thirty women county superintcn-
dents of schools.
So far as is known there are
no women in Kansas serving as
clerks to the district courts OF
county commissioners. How
ever, several have served as may
Ors Of cities. In several instance.
there have been women candi
dates for State superintendent %
public instruction, but they were
not elected.
The Socialists at their recen
convention in Topeka nominatet
a Girard woman for State super
intendent in spite Of a stron2
! speech made against it by he
husband.

THE GEORGIA PRIMARY.
Hoke Smiths Defeat a Beacon
of Warning to Politicians.

" ~@elilile Ioil pSA
The defeat of Hoke Smith for
Governor of Georgia is flaming
beacon of warning to Overzealous
politicians who try to make cap
ital out of the persecution of cor
pOrations. 1t is signal, direct
from the people, giving notice
that the clever game of counter
feiting Theodore Roosevelt is
played out. The people of
Georgia are as honest as the
people of any other State; they
are just as much opposed to cor
poration control; they are just as
anxious to have cheap railroad
rates; they are fully as much in
earnest in the warfare against
political corruption, but they evil
IDENTIFY know how to distinguish
genuine reform from demagogy,
and they refuse to pull down their
house in order to kill the rats.
HOke Smith was elected Gov
ernOr Of Georgia two years ago
by a big majority. He went in
on the wave of reform. He was
the plumed knight, the St. George
who was to kill the railroad drag
on and redeem a PROSTATE people.
On his foaming chager. Possom
Fat, behind the breastplate of
righteousness, and armed with
the spear that knew no brother,
HOke Smith was a fine imitation
of the real thing. Admiring
Georgians could not see the diff
ference. If anything they deem
ed the home product superior tC
the Washington brand. They
cheered Hoke on, and listened fol
the clash of battle.
But two years of turmoil, with
Windup of hard times, caused
the Georgians to modify theil
views as to the desirability OF
smashing the railroads. They
began to see that there are sew
eral kinds of reform. They won
dered whether the kind they haC
favored was real or bogus. The
specter of Possum Fat and his
: rider began to assume the re
pulsive aspects of a nightmare
. Then it was not a long jump tt
} the conclusion that a change O.
) methods and Of Governors woulC
c be we'll.
The vote in the large cities o
2 Georgia indicate that the prohibi
e ton wave is subsiding, just a
2 the anti-corporation wave ebbed
: and for the same reason. Th
e pendulum of popular sentimen
e swung too far, and it is swingin!
: back. In places where Governo
+ Smiths extreme anti-liquO
: views were the issue he lost heav
l. lily, the majority giving their SUI
|. port to a man whose views O.
O this subject, as we'll as on Others
.. are more moderate.
O The Georgia election is we
:. worth the study of political lead
s ers everywhere. The craze fo
d radical legislation as a cure fo
/ human ills is rapidly passin.
3 away, and it is not safe for as
n piring office seekers to work tn
# game anV longer.

WHY INSTRUCTED DELE
GATES?
Send Men as Representatives
Who Can be Trusted.

Baltimore Sun.
In a leading article Mr.. w. J.
Bryan's paper, the Commoner,
advocates the instruction of all
the delegates to the national con-
ventiOn. "A failure to instruct" "
Mr.. Bryan says. turns the dele
gates over to the party bosses. "
This is a rather severe arraign-
ment of the character Of the men
who are to go to the cOnVen-
ton, and if it is a just criticism,
then it should be the effort of the
Democrats all over the land to
select such representatives as
can be trusted. To send men to
a convention who deliver them
selves to the bosses" unless
they are restrained by instruc-
tions, is to send misrepresenta-
tives of honest people, and not
representatives. Mr.. Bryan was
nominated in 1896 by the free
votes of the delegates to the
Chicago convention. Mr.. Bryan
came to the convention as a
member of a contesting delega-
tion which was afterward recog-
nized and seated, and he himself
was nominated only after he had
made his croWn-of-thOrn and
cross-of- gold speech. His NOM
inatiOn was therefore made hV
the free votes of the convention.
We do not believe that any Dem
ocratic nomination in recent
years has been made by boss
dictation.
The object of the Denver con.
ventiOn this year should be not
only to nominate a good man
but a good man who can win, OF
who has some chance of winning.
A great majority Of the Demo
cratic people Of the country
! might personally favor a particu
lar man, as perhaps they do a
