GET BUSY. MEN.

The blessed women of the city,
tired of waiting on the men to do
something for Terrell county and
Dawson, inaugurated a movement
for fair next Fall, and are going
to make it a success. Alone they
have raised the money for the pre-
miums, and it only remains for the
men to provide the agricultural ex-
hibits, which they should and no
doubt will be glad to do. Let the
men take half as much interest in
and devote half as much time to the
project as the ladies are doing and
it will be one of the best county
fairs ever held in Georgia. They
cannot afford not to, and should get
busy at once.

"Who Is He?" and "What Has He Core -

The Rome Tribune has a thought
full editorial on the relative merits
of the question, "Who is he?" or
What has he got?" as the passport
to society The Tribune says in part:
I'm many sections money is placed
above blood, and social standing
amounts to little unless backed up
by wealth. In a great many of our
large cities the question asked when
a stranger puts in his appearance is
not Who is he?' but What has he
got?' Money is the open sesame to
society, and no particular attention
is paid to anything else. Of course
this is not the case everywhere.
Customs differ in different locali-
ties. There is a social standing born
of official position, intellect and good
breeding that is recognized every
where. Secretly the bad hammered

REFORMING THE JURY BOX.

Judge John w. Maddox, of the
superior court of the Rome circuit,
has written a letter to the jury COM
missioners of Floyd county calling
their attention to the small number
of names in the jury box, and stating
that the law expects every upright
and intelligent man in the county to
be made subject to jury duty. In his
letter Judge Maddox says lit could
do no harm to place every man in the
county, so far as you can, who will
measure up to the standard of the
law-both intelligent and upright
in the jury box" AS Judge Maddox
further says, a small number of
names in the jury box causes some
men to serve oftener than they
should, and encourages the profess
sional Juror. To have the name of
every upright and intelligent man in
the county in the box would only
give all men of that description an
equal chance of serving as jurors.
The law does not limit the service to
a favored few, but places all qualified
men on an equal footing.
The point raised by Judge Maddox
is worthy of consideration elsewhere
than in Floyd county. Here in Ter
rell there has been some complaint
along this line.
There are now more than 1906
registered voters in the county, ant
it is safe to say that out of this mum
Der six hundred is a small percent
age to be qualified for jury duty.

Why the Campaign Is Peaceful

From the Albany Herald.
One reason--the main reason
why the average Georgia voter of in
telligence can't work himself up to
point of frenzy in the present cam
paign is that when he applies his
thinker to the situation he fails to
find any real issues, and. the more
thoughtful and conservative he is the
less inclined he is to get excited
over mere factional politics.
