NEW CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE.

Around the Blue Ridge Circuit,
and especially in Cobb County, they
will talk politics. Georgia politics
is famous the nation overland in no
part of the Empire State can more
genuine Georgia politics be found
than in that same Cobb County.
And this is what they are saying
now all around the circuit, and par
ticularly in Cobb County.
They say another member of the
Morris family, of Observation-Disclosures
politicians, jurists, and one popular
ly known as Uncle Gid" the best
farmer in the State-they are say
ing that another member of the Nor
ris clan is going to make the race
for judge of this somewhat tumul-
tuous circuit at the primaries a year
from next August
And this time it is Fred Morris
Captain Fred Morris, not long ago
with the State militia; the Hon Fred
now-who is going to be in the hunt
for the judicial job recently held by
N A. Morris.
Fred Morris is a lawyer and leg
islator, and good and lively one
and the mention of his name is at
tracing some highly boosting arti-
Giles in the Alpharetta Free Press
and other papers around the circuit.
But Fred himself is saying moth
ing. Absolutely nothing. He may
be saving wood, but so far as COM
uniting himself one way or another
absolutely not.
The Hon. Fred is over at the State
Capital these days, tending to his
job as Legislative Representative of
Cobb County And if he is saving
wood for another pile he is saying
nothing whatever about it.-Atlanta

see, and both Canton and Marietta
have fast and well-trained teams.
But let us not overlook the "riot'
which broke out along about the
first half of the third inning.
Here is about the way it happen
ed as we saw it. A Canton player
stole second. 1t was a close play.
The umpire called it safe. A scuffle
resulted between the baseman and
the runner which was misconstrued
by the spectators who thought a
fight was in progress. The Canton
crowd flowed over the first base line
onto the field while the Marietta
contigent rushed over third base line.
The two crowds met at second base.
Somebody hit somebody and the
fight was on. Heads were cracked
freely, blood flowed copiously, teeth
Uttered the ground, broom handles
flashed on high and descended with
an impact that reverbrated through
the hills and down the valleys to
some considerable extent.
But after the dust had lifted it
was discovered that none of the COM
batants had received mortal wounds.
SO after a delay of threa-quarters Of
an hour the game was resumed and
everything was as sweet and pretty
as speckled pups The sheriff made
speech; the Mayor made a speech.
Each was given hand Good bust
ness. The game from then on was
some game.
The count now stands, one and
one. The next game is the rubber
and will probably be played in the
near future.
This game should be witnessed by
1000 fans, and doubtless it will be,
for both Canton and Marietta will
go after it like the Italians are going
after the Austrians.
