( (H'NTY SUPEHINTEN-DENT.
Tho contest for County Super-
lintciident of Schools is on. The
candidates are Prof. M. *G. Bates
of Atlanta, and Prof. T. 15. Price
•of Hughes' Springs. Both well
icnowri in Cass County. While we
favor the one we have no words
tjf criticism for the other.
Prof. Bates is a graduate of
* lie University of Georgia, a man
of more than 25 years experience
nix years superintendent of Fort
Worth City schools, and for 11
(years superintendent of the ""At-
lanta public school. We believe
he is the man for this responsible
position. Mis successful dealing
v itli both schools and teachers
-lends n* to believe he is theprop-
er man for the place.
While the selection is to be
made by the Commissioners
4'ourt, 1 he will of the people will
doubtless be respected. A prima
ify should be held to ascertaih
their wishes. The most incom-
petent man in the county could
f?et a petition with a thousand
or more names, which is no test
of the wishes of the people.
The Commissioners, we under-
stand desire a primary—the peo-
ple desire it; the law permits itj
and it is the established prece-
dent of our county;
itfiCIATlVfi AND RE^EKEN'DTM.
Galveston was the first city
that felt tipon the idea of city
government by a commission of
five men to be elected at large by
Ihe people, one of whom should
^ Jie m ayov. The plan worked so
\A\ that other cities in various
states Irnvc taken it up, and in
every instance improvement is
at once a parent.
Now comes the Legislature of
$owa with a law granting any cit-
y in the state? the rifjbt to change
to a governmerit by commission
at its own option. The coaumis-
aion, lK.wrever,. cfimrot grunt any
.public franchises1 until it is 'refer-
fd to* nod approved by the peo-
ple. Also'th'e people can, by a
-Jfttitkfti of 25- pur ceflt of the vo-
ter*, ha ve any matter of public
policy str referred before it iw [nit
flu to effect; and iivth'e salne way
thnv can fttfetefte any measuse
and it mu'sH? be put into effect if
Hie pc pl« a-pprore.
This is Che ftticiative' aYid the
J*efere ml Urn8, pure amt simple.
So t he lea ven continues to work.
In another generation the doc-
t-i'ihoH eftUlrci'ated by the popu-
lists, aurf for vhieh tliey were
roundly cursed', *ill be engrafted
ill the laws of'the bind. SO be it.

A few words to the good 6ld

to us, an unknown world.

Campbell, Walter Reed_, A. G.

have in mind, who are just fully
ripening for an angelic world;
and many dear old saintly moth-
ers whow I love wflh all itiy heart.
I may not jftst know a moth-
er's love, for my mother died
when 1 was but six years old,yet
John Howard Payne who never
had a home, wrote a poem that
thrilled the world, about "Home,
gweet home."
. God, who knowc th the hearts
of all men, knows that I Tflve
these dear old people.
When my father was old, and
old people came in, I would sit
for hours and listen to them talk
of the long ago's.
I loved to be with old people
when I was a boy, and if father
was not at home I woulri talk to
them in as old away as I could.
1 love their old-time ways, I heir
old-time way of saying things,
and 1 believe they have the old-
time religion that 1 love SO well,

IS An infant son of Mr. mid Mrs.
and Shorthand are taking the
place of the old systems. The
reason 1s plain* It cuts the time
and cost of becoming an expert,
accountant or stenographer in
half, lets the student'begin earn-
ing while tile student of the old
system is not half thru learning,
gives him a better practical
knowledge, which means a high-
er salary. Thesesystems can be
had only at the Byrne Business
Colleges, located as follows: At-

I fear there Is getting to lie too
mucn starch and stilt, in both the
pulpit and church. It itiity be
that this is why it is losing its
power over the souls of men.
The Apostles had all thing*
common, and I, for one, believe
that it means just what it. attys
—COMMON.
We must soon bid these old people
farewell; the church of Christ, the
state and nation Will have to sus-
tain a great loss. Will we then
write tributes Of respect, eulogi-
sing their noble lives, when not a
word of it will reach their ears?
I prefer to st.rovv my flowers on
their graves now; I will try to
show my appreciation whilothey
live. My tears fall on file paper
as f pen these lines of fOyetoand
for them. I feel SO humble in
their presence tlwit I could kneel,
and like Jesus, 1 Could wash their
I'cet. When i hear them tell of
being in the army Of the Lord for
sixty years f hey are as bmikoh
lights upon the plains of life, bid-
ding us to follow on. They are
"Row ready to be offered r/p;"
their time is rtear; they "Have
fought a good fight ," and for a
noble cause have their lives been
devoted, and their crowns "Shnlf
no one take" from then*.
