More A bout the State Constitution
and the Distribution of POIiti-
cal and Legislative PO1Ver

Dear Sir:-Your willingness to print both
sides of discussion makes the Jeffs real inter-
esting, educational, and worth double their price
The question | have up with you for discussion
is the only one that I have ever radically dis
agreed with you. However, l think by a series
of questions and answers we can come together
this about the constitutionality of nomi-
mating candidates in the Primary. Your answers
have helped me to make the following conclu-
siOns:
1. That the manner of electing candi-
dates is prescribed by the Constitution,
but it is up to each party organization
to how it's candidates should be nOmi-
mated. What Article and Section of our
Constitution refer to nomination?
g. That the Democratic party will
main in power in Georgia until a change
is made in the Constitution to elect by
the delegate system. Why? Because
majority of the qualified voters are citi-
Zens of the large towns and cities, and
they seem to be satisfied with Democ-
cracy.
g. The Constitution divides the Legis-
lative power of the largest and smallest
counties in the ration of 3 to 1, and di-
vides the power of these same counties
in the ratio of their qualified voters
when it comes to electing Governor.
On account of so much power being vest
ed in the Chief Executive of State, we
cannot afford to consider it joke.
Am [ wrong regarding these conclusions? If
so, l want to know it so 1 can flop. The above
suggests some questions which 1 desire to ask,
and kindly request you to answer each one d-
rectly in the affirmative in the negative and
then proceed to justify same:
1. Do you think the white voters ought to set
tie all their political differences in the White
Democratic Primary?
g. Should the Constitution be changed, as
above suggested referring to the clause about the
manner Of electing Governor?
1 have no reference to national politics. only
to Georgia politics.

CALABAsH PIPE aoCRDs.

The ends Of the box are made OF
pieces Of 2 by bolted together. A
hole bored in the center of each end
forms the bearings. The sides OF the
box are made Of one inch lumber and
are simply nailed to the ends with
twelvepenny nails. One-half OF the
box is made so that 1t can be detached
and lifted of when the mixer Is to be
filed or empticd. The detachable half
is secured to the other half by means
Of strong hooks so placed that by slip
ping this half about an inch to one
side all Of the hooks are loosened at
once. After it Is in position the re-
movable portion Is held In place by
means of barn door latch.
The driving gear is simple. but very
effective. 1t consists Of the rim taken
from the wheel Of an old rubber tire
buggy. With the tire removed the
grooved rim makes very satisfactory
wheel upon which to run three-quar-
ter inch rope belt. The belt is driven
by a small sheave pulley, which is fas-
tened to the countershaft. A belt
tightener Is used upon the rope. and
by using a very loose belt the tight.
ener is made to act as friction clutch.
This particular mixer is driven by a
two horse gasoline engine. which is
belted to the .countershaft. The en-.
gine runs continuously. and the mixer
is started and stopped by means OF
the belt tightener.
Many other systems Of driving might
have been used In place Of the rope
belt. The main gear Of an old self
binder makes an excellent gear for
mixer. An old mower gear may also
be put to good use in this connection.
1t is not necessary to have the mixer
driven by an engine or horse power. A
crank may be attached and the ma
chine turned by hand. Many prefer
turning such a machine rather than
mixing the concrete with shovel.

Mercury Laden Swords.

ries, but 1t was more Of fancy than

used for rapiers or the lighter kind OF
swords, but for the heavier cutting
swords. The method was to cast the
blade rather broader at the back than
usual, with a hollow running down 1t.
This was half filled with quicksilver
and sealed up. The idea was that when
a blow was struck with such sword
the quicksilver would fly to the point
and SO increase the weight OF the
blow This theoretical advantage. how
ever. did not at all counterbalance the
general clumsiness Of the weapon and
its unhandiness in guarding. and 30
