The many friends Of Judge y. A,
1.ittleiohn, .who pTcades over the
circuit court held here and is well
known and universally liked
throughout the circuit, will read with
interest the following clever story,
which appeared in a recent issue OF
the Saturday Evening Post:
'"gwlgc z. A. Ltslejohn, who presides
over thesssouthwestern circuit Of Georgia,
was in one Of the small villages in his
territcry short time ago shaking hands
with the voteBs.
The editor Of the weekly paper came
along and the judge hailed him:
+" Hi, Charley said the judge, when
] was here six months ago gave you o
dollar for = years subscription TO your
paper, and have never received . copy
moi ono. What's the matter.
4" why, judge replied the editor, J
didn't think you really wanted the paper
] Thought yon just gave me that dollar
for my influence.

The fall term, Iec Superior court,
is IN session this week, Judge q. A..
Littlejohn presiding with his usual
ability and fairness. Only a few cases
Of importance have been tried, the
most important Of which being that
of +. p, Martin & Sons against the
Bank Of Lecsburg. At the time Of
going to press this case had not gone
to the jury.
The criminal docket will probably
be taken up today. On the criminal
docket there are several murder cases.
Court will likely continue during the
remainder Of the week. A large num-
ber Of visitors from a distance are
attending court. Among the visit
ing attorneys attending are Messrs.

Deupocraev Triurnphe n I,

Yhc recent election returns serve
20 show indisputably that an era Of
Democratic triumph in this country
hms begun The people Of thC
United States have chung to Republi-
can principles until they have found
10 shsir utter disgust that the party
which has been in power so long il
10 completely under the domination
os capitalists and trusts that nc
genuine Fcform can be expected
from it.
In vain Theodore Roosevelt has
tried to convince the voters of New
York and other states that the tariff
has nothing to do with the high cost
Of living. Tie bread-winncrs have
spoken, and they do not agree with
the self-appointed dictator Of Oyster
Bay or with any Of his kind. The
large maioritics given TO Dix in New
York and Harmon in Ohio are sting
ing rebukes to the man who has
tried to boss the entire country.
Instead Of being reformerr as nc
posed, il has been clearly shown that
he has in reality degenerated into a
common scoll and political boss Of
the lowest type, whose supreme Ell
fort has been to saddle uL0n the peo-
pie Of the country Another reign OF
graft and corruption.
In strong contrast to Roosevelt
and his puppet candidates stand the
men who have begun the rehabilita-
ton 81 the Democratic party-llar-
mon in Ohio, Wilson in New Jersey
Dix in New York, Baldwin in Con-
necticut. The Democrats have taken
advantage Of the opportunity offered
them and have placed in nomination
the best man they could obtain. II
is believed that these militant Demo
Gratis will carry out their pledges.
Certainly nothing worse can be ex-
pectcd Of them than would have
been the case if the Republicans had
remained in power. A party that
remains securely entrenched in
power too long forgets its obligations
to the people. The present plight
OF the Republican party is ample
proof Of this. Democracy must re-
deem is pledges and avoid the pit
falls which have ensnared the Re-
publican party, otherwise it will go
the same way to ruin. This is the
day of Democratic opportunity.
