Political Weeds.

q The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Shelby County has proceed
ed to exceed it's usual functions in
the Endorsement of a set of Demo-
cratic candidates from the U. S. Sen
ate down. This may in some par
ticulars be the right course, but it
looks a little bit suspicious to in
clude in it's Endorsement a candidate
for each of the offices, to the ex-
'clusion of all other candidates. Ru-
mors of Boss Ed Crump have reach
fee law, an act of the last Legisla-
ture, by which the people of the
State should be saved thousands of
dollars when it becomes operative.
All these candidates could not of
course be charged with collision
with Crump, but if Crump has had
anything to do with it they will be
branded as Crump candidates. The
fee law should not be repealed until
something better is offered The
tendency of the Office seeking-clas
is for more office, more emoluments.
Against this was one of the big
lights made by Governor Tom C.
Rye in the last Legislature, but he
was overwhelmed by men with de-
signs on the State treasury either
for private and public appropriations
or salaries. 1t is getting time to be-
gin some sort of fight against office
holders and office seekers, both in
State and national governments, who
are crowding the pay rolls and
plunderbunds. Before the war
closes people will be almost COM
pletely reduced by taxation, and the
practice of encroaching on the pub
lie treasures for more offices, more
salaries, more pork and more per-
quisites will become so unpopular as
to make the man who is supporting
this propaganda very obnoxious in
deed. If the fee law in Tennessee
is a start in the right direction, in
stead of it's destruction it should be
reinforced and more economical leg
islation along the same lines enacted
We have more than once called at
tention to the practice of members
of Congress in persistently refusing
to purge itself of the dishonorable
mileage and ranking practices and
of other equally bad habits of MAX
ing inroads on the public treasury
for private purposes. 1t is getting
high time that candidates are called
out on these questions. 1t will be-
come painful necessity some of
these days, and the candidate who
refuses will have to stand aside
What spectacle it is for just such
men as these, who should present
themselves as an acceptable example |

WINGED the people of Tennessee, the
laity as well as the lawyers, that his
rank as lawyer is established
among the very best in the State.
We want to add that it is distinc-
tion and a pleasure to nave Judge
Moore with us again. And while we
are moved to say these things of
Judge Moore, it is no less pleasure
to speak of his junior partner, our
good friend, W. E. Hudgins, one of
the foremost young lawyers of this
end of the State. Mr.. Hudgins has
like his colleague been digging in
the trenches of law and with much
the same character of splendid ma
tive ability has been building up a
fine practice. He is not only law
yer but a patriotic citizen and a
Christian gentleman. He has been
giving his time to the War Savings
work as county chairman with the
results that are highly creditable.
The law firm of Moore & Hudgins is
now ready for business and takes
pleasure in announcing that the in
terests of clients in the courts of
this part of the State will be given
careful and special attention.

Senator Tillman's Successor.
July /, 1918.

The Governor of South Carolina
has appointed Christie Benet, law
yer 3S years old, to serve the next
six months of the unexpired term of
the late Senator Tillman. Under a
South Carolina statue an appoint
ment to the Senate is limited to six
months, which will necessitate an
election to fill out the remaining two
months of the senatorial term ex-
piring next March.
OF course Cole Blease is a candi-
date for the place. Gov. Manning
says Benet is lone whose sterling
Americanism is undoubted." But
how about Blease? Can as much be
said of his Americanism?
About year ago he made speech
in which he was reported to have
said:
l was opposed to this war. Had /
been United States Senator or Con-
gresham l would have voted against
it., and believe, as religiously as l
believe there is a God in heaven,
that, on the final judgment day,
every American citizen who is killed
in this war, off of American soil, will
be charged against the President of
the United States and the members
of Congress who voted for it, as an
unwarranted sacrifice, in the sight of
Almighty God, of fresh young Amer
lean manhood.
The only qualification of this ex-
position of his Americ&ni5m which
the Courier-Journal has seen was the
added sentence:
Do not misunderstood me. We are
now in the war, and it must be push
ed to a successful conclusion.
In his present campaign Blease is
said to have "reaffirmcd" his Ameri-
canism of last year. Is there any
mystery why it iS Benet and not
Blease of whom we hear that his
sterling Americanism is undoubted?

The Judges Message.

Gentlemen of the Quarterly Coun
ty Court: We have come to the close
of our career as court. Six years
ago when we were indicted into of
flee we found the Indebtedness of
the county about $4,000. To-day
from my best information, we owe
about $4,000. am exceedingly
proud of our administration, and
have no apology to offer for you or
myself. During that time, we have
spent $4,000 on drainage bridges,
etc, rebuilt the Jail at a cost of
$4,000, and built steel bridges
across all the main streams of the
county, and yet, the taxes have never
been raised by US. True, we have
been criticised as being extravagant
and wasteful, but conditions have
changed to what they were several
years ago. Material and work cost
two times whatNit did, the cost of
living two times as much, and now
the drainage business is about COM
plete. By judicial management in
the future, the taxes need never be
raised. The valuation of property
this year to be taxed has increased
100000, which will increase the
taxes next year about $1,000. We
were getting along nicely without
criticism until we authorized the
passage of law by the Legislature
in 1915, authorizing us as court
to lend out the county money at in
terest, which we did and realized last
year $1,351.00 as general county
found. Then the balloon went up.
The tax dodgers and money changers
and the shylocks circulated a report
that we had bankrupted the county,
but l am glad to say we have left it
in a better condition than we found
it. l wish to thank you gentle
men who have shown me such great
kindness and courtesy while acting
as your chairman during our entire
term. Wishing you a long and hap
Ply life, and bid you goodbye.
l am yours respectfully,
GEO. R. KENNEY,
County Judge.
