Exchange.
If the printer is paid promptly, and
his pocket book kept plethoric by
prompt paying patrons, he puts his
pen to his paper in peace; his para
graphs are more pointed; he paints
his pictures of passing events in
more pleasing colors, and the perusal
of his paper is a pleasure to his pa
irons. Paste this piece of proverbial
philosophy in some place where all
persons can perceive.

Atlanta, September 1.-(Special. )--Con- siderable interest is manifested in the meeting of the new state executive com mittee, which will be held in the senate chamber here next Wednesday at noon for the purpose of disposing of two polit- ical disputes growing out of the recent primary.
 Something of the old factionalism is in volved in one of these fights. but out side of this the faetional spirit did not once make it's appearance in the recent state convention in Macon.
 And as a matter of fact, the contest did not really arouse any partisan spirit. Personal friends of Judge N. A. Morris of Cobb took his part before the conven- ton and tried to get a decision favor able to him right then and there. But the convention realized that if it had gone into the judgeship contest 1t might have been there yet so turned it over to the state committee.
 Judge Morris has been consistently aligned with the Hoke Smith faction, and has always fought Governor Brown, al- though they live in the same county. Nevertheless, 1t may be stated that the executive committee will take up and dispose of the contest against him with out prejudice to his case.
 II. l.. Patterson of Forsyth county is making the contest, passing it solely on the ground of alleged frauds in Gilmer coun- ty; and in one of the affdavits filed with his contest the charge is made that Judge Morris teephoned up to Ellijay, the eoun- ty seat of Gilmer, after securing the fig

 There will be a big bunch of witnesses here from Gilmer next Wednesday 10 give their testimony to the state committes as to just how things were ccnducted there. Old Gilmer has always been hotbed of politics, first in the hands of one crowd and then the other The crowd that has control of the courthouse and the election machinery usually disfran- ehises a large portion of the other crowd by denying them the right to vote in the primaries on the ground that they are republicans. At least this is the charge that is made. and Gilmer usually figures In the limelight before almost every state convention.
 The other contest which the state com mittee will have to, hear Wednesday in- wolves the election of representative from Bulloch, where A. NJ. Turner de- feated J. R. Miller by a majority of one vote Owing to a technical construction of the rules the county committee re- fused to grant recount at MT. Miller's request, and the matter was brought up in the state convention, which referred 1t to the committee
 There will be little for the committee to do in the way of organization Chalr- man w. J. Harris and Secretary A H. Ulm of the state convention were made respectively chairman and secretary of the new state committee by the Nconven- ton itself, and the convention departed from the usual custom by giving the sec- retary vote the same as any other mem- Der of the committee

 A morsel of miscellany, prefaced by a request that proves the presence of little girls in the house. It costs nothing to save the dolls, as they appear in your H. lustrated papers, and next to nothing to get the address of the mother from me and mail the cutting to her.

The rage for white shoes never ran so high before as at this season. and l may add, one sees as many dirty as clean upon the streets. If one will sport them abroad, one must learn how to clean them and practice the art daily.
