JUDGE JOSEPH e. JONES.
[Carroll CountyDemoerat. ]

We notice that Judge Jones has
opposition in his race for reelec-
ton. We know nothing about the
competency of the man who is op-
posing him. He may be Thoroughly
competent for the position, he may
be a cleans a moral landuprightman,
and might give to his Office the very
best service possible, yet we frank
ly say that he should be.defeated
and Jones elected.
Under ordinary conditions there
would be nothing wrong in such
opposition, as one man usually has
just about as much right to run
for an Office as another. But the
peculiar conditions that obtain in
that district make it very unfort-
unate that Judge Jones should have
any one to oppose him.
The opposition to Judge Jones
grows out of the part he took in
the night rider case. When he
went in this case he took his life
into his own hands, and opposed
forces and obstacles and met diff
culties that were appalling, and to
a man of less courage would have
driven him from his duty. But
Judge Jones saw hissduty and did
not hesitate to do it.
In doing his duty as he saw it
he made aclass of enemies that are
now at work to bring. about his de-
feat. These enemies largely con-
stitute an oath-bound secret or
ganization that cares nothing for
life nor property, that holds the
oaths of their members to be more
sacred than law, and now they have
said that he must be defeated, and
they are finding sympathizers all
over the district.
The good people of that district
owe it to Judge ones, they owe it
to law and order, and they owe it
to their homes to reflect him. To
defeat him would be giving ap-
proval to the'law breakers of that
district, and would be indeed very
unfortunate.

conceived the plan of creating a
sinking fund for the gradual re-
tirement of the State debt by pur-
chase of its bonds. Chancellor
Bullock was then a member of the
House of Representatives. His
service was invoked. He intro
duced the sinking fund bill in the
House and by his clear and able
presentation of the benefits to re-
suit from it's enactment, obtained
it's passage by large majority.
BY this law there has been retired
to this time a floating debt of
$6O0,000and 50, ,556,965. 90 of bonds
at cost of $4, ,430,2l8.07.
The State, by this measure, has
to this date, in the difference be-
tween the purchase price and par
value OF bonds and reduced inter-
est, saved the sum of 48,645.17,
Whatever the public Office he
has filled, he has given to it hard
work, conscientious and faithful
service. His record, whatever the
Office, has been for the people and
beyond reproach.
We commend him to the people
of this division as in every way
worthy of their confidence and en-
dorsement by a nomination in the
primary to be held October 16,
1909, and a reelection to the Office
of Chancellor.

CHANCELLOR BULLOCK.
jackson Daily Whig.l

of the Sunday Sun relative to the
candidacy Of Chancellor Bullock,
but it would like to add to it.
1t is not in the province of the
lawyers to say who shall be Chan
cellor, but the lawyers, to whom
litigants entrust their cases, in the
Chancery Court, have the oppor-
tunity of Judging as to who can
best fill the Office.
There are twelve counties in
Chancellor Bullock's division.
Ten members of the bar of the
home county { Henry) of his oppo-
nent have endorsed his opponent.
The members of the bar of the
counties of Crockett, Carroll, De-
catur, Perry and Hardin have CIV
on Chancellor Bullock their solid
endorsement. The members of the
bar, with one exception each, of
the counties of Benton. Chester,
Hardeman, Henderson and Nc
Marry have endorsed him. Of the
thirty-four members of the Madi-
son County bar, twenty-seven have
endorsed him.
There are l07 lawyers in Chan
cellor Bullock's division. Of this
number, sc have endorsed Chan
cellor Bullock, 10 his opponent,
and IL endorsing neith candidate.
OF those who have not endorsed
either candidate, some arefor him,
butfor satisfactory reasons of their
own, prefer not to sign an endorse
ment.
These endorsements, induced by
the impartiality, efficiency and the
ability with which he has dis
charged the duties of his Office,
constitute a splendid testimonial
Of which he and his friends are
proud. These endorsements are
published in another column of
this paper.
The proportion of appeals from
his decisions have been small, be-
ing from large number of decis-
ions, only ffty-seven. In eighty
per cent of these appeals, his de-
.cisions have been affirmed, though
many of them involved complex
and difficult questions. This is an
excellent evidence of his qualifca-
tions and sound judgment.
Chancellor Bullock we'll deserves
public favor for other reasons. AS
q member of the Senate of 1898,
he was one of subcommittee of
five, who, after six weeks of ardu-
Gus labor and investigation, form.
ulated the bill by which the new
penitentiary system was founded.
He was the craftsman of the bill.
It's enactment into law abolished
the existing odious convict lease
system. Thenew penitentiary was
made model one ranking with
any in the Union. It has not only
been self-sustaining, but has real
lied q net income to the State Of
S1,S72,171.66.
In 1897 he was appointeda mem
sber of the Railroad Commission of
the State and was made it's chair
man. This commission, after
laborious and thorough examina-
tion into the proper method of as
certaining the taxable value of
railroad, telegraph and telephone
properties, found these properties
inadequately assessed. The taxa
BILE values of the same were raised,
resulting in a raise from $40, 1885,
.86s.4s to S56, SAG, 1874, or a net
increase Of $16,099,76O.66. This
increase has brought into the
treasury of the State tothis time,
approximately tbree-fourths of
million of dollars and to the coun-
