The all-Gay singing at Boynton
last Sunday was we'll attended.
A great many people who had
not met for years we're overjoyed
to greet old friends once more,
and it was not "Good-morning,
Mr.. and Mrs. So and so" but
Hello, john" " How are you,
Kate" and Doesn't this seem
like old times?" and such like.
They have decided to have an an
nual singing on the first Sunday
in June at that place. | think
it is splendid idea for people to
meet and be soclable with one an
other and talk of the good old
days." We can't meet with
good people too much or make
too many friends. 1t seems to
me that people are gettiug so
they are not so friendly or so
neighborly as they used to be.
Too many value a man or his
family by the property he owns
or the money he has and not by
the true worth of the person him
self " THE love of money is
the root of all evil" Tim. 6:1O.
We see this fact clearly demon
strated every day. All crimes.
murder, theft, gambling and all
such things, when the cause is
known points to the love of mon
ey-not money itself, but the
love of money.
At the present time we have
good news from the battle front

that all is as we'll with US as what

hoping that the editor has the

THE C0NTESTF0R
CIRCUIT JUDGE

Judge of the 18th Judicial Circuit,
He is induced to do this he says:
AT the most earnest solicitation
of a great number If people, both
Democrats and Republicans. -
This is stock phrase and every
one who aspires t. office does it
at the solicitation of great
number Of people"
We are wondering whether
the voice Mr.. Raulston heard was
the voice Of the people" or
whether it was an echo from the
whispering chamber of his own
imagination,
In an interview published in
the Chattanooga Times of Sep
tember II, 1917, he practically an
nounced his candidacy, and if at
that date Mr.. Raulston had been
solicited to run, we should think
his friends were rather disposed
to take time by the foreiock.
But the time element of this in
terview does not attract our at
tention so much as a paragraph
which reads as follows: Meth
er would | want to be elected
Judge" " said Mr.. Raulston, "over
the active opposition of the law
yers of my district, because do
not believe a judge can accom-
pl;sh that which he should with
out the respect and sympathy of
the reputable and capable attor-
neys practicing in his court. -
1t is the information of this
paper that out of more than 80
lawyers practicing in the 18th
Judicial Circuit, all but two have
pledged their support to Judge
Lynch. From this it would ap,
pear that Mr.. Raulston is run
ming without the endorsement of
the Bar, and if he is sincere in
his statement, he would not
want to be elected Judge over
the active opposition Of the ma
iority of the lawyers of this Dis
trict," then by his own state,
ment he is estopped f'om the
further prosecution of his candi-
dacy for Judge.
A further fact in connection
with the candidacy of Mr.. Raul
ston, partisan Republican,
which is not without significance,
is, that he is not the nominee of
his own party, and is, thel efore,
running as an Independent, the
Republicans of this District hav-
ing declined to nominate a can
didate to run against Judge
Lynch.
On the other hand, Judge
Lynch has been selected by his
own party to succeed himself.
This is as it should be. Judge
Lynch is fair minded, just, hon
est and capable. and has demon
his worthiness of the
trust the people have reposed in
him. His impartial and fair con-
duct on the Bench have won for
him the respect and admiration of
both litigants and lawyers, and
the people of the Eighteenth .lu-
dicial Circuit, regardless of poll
tical afiliation. have determines
to give him merited endorse
ment for another term. Judge
Lynch has been on the Bench al |
most three years now, and bv
application, coupled
with a disinterested devotion to !
duty, he has qualified himself to
the high and impor-
tant duties Of his Office accepta-
bly and ably, and to the entire
satisfaction OF the people.
The loyal voters of the country, !
both Democrats and Republicans, /
have determined that whenever
incumbents have measured up to
to the requirements of ability,

ton to duty, they are justly en-,

Secretary Bone made eight trips to
down-river camps with speakers or
singers in passenger cars and loaded
the truck on one trip with supplies to
open a new camp. The truck made
twenty miles per gallon of gasoline.
In all. the supplies taken from the
stock room were obtained at a cost of
$1,S90.31, which was the wholesale price
paid for large lots. and there was an

View Of Navy Officials.

Navy ofncials here familiar with the
waters surrounding the Belgian coast
believe the mud flats OFF Ostend, which
have served as a protection for the Ger
man submarine base there. may now help
the British. There is a possibility, thev
say. that the shifting mud may make it
impossible for the Germans to keep
clear the narrow channel left by the
sinking of the cruiser Vindictive

dictive tend to heap up the silt in the
narrow open space 1t will be almost
free. and use Of the base for U-boats
and destroyers will be virtually ended
until some way is found to pull the
stopper from the bottle.
As 1t Is. naval officials are confident
the effectiveness Of the smaller U-boats
heretofore based at Zeebrugge and Os-
tend has been greatly impaired. Some
may have been shut up completely at
zeebrugge and unless they already
have been removed, others will share
the same fate as Ostend II the channel

been put out of operation completely,
in this way. 1T is virtually certain, it is
said, that those remaining outside must

supplies.
Al time when Germany is known to
be no more than holding her own with
new construction of U-boats, IL she is
not, in fact. losing them faster than she
can build them. any operation that
further reduces their numbers or de-
creases their effectiveness assumes an
added value. The result should be
the decreased number of ships sub
,narined. Of1cials here are watching
for the monthly ship loss statement
with peculiar interest for that reason.
