baptist PASTOR TALKS i commissioner^ favor
OF GAMBLING AND BALL TAKING CONVICTS.
Not Opposed to Game.
Appeal to Hearers to
Stop the Gambling.
Before beginning his excellent
sermon at the Baptist church
last Sunday morning, the pastor
Kev. A. Chamlee called attention
to the every day talk of gambling
at the base ball games in this city
a,jd urged the good people of the
city to stop the practice. The
pastor did not attack the game
but stated if gumbling was contin
ued on ball games, he was against
the game and that good people
could not afford to patronize it.
llis remarks on this line were
timely, because t he boys of the
city cannot afford either to gam
ble themselves or permit it in our
midstand the good poopb will
not stand for it and should not.
It is understood the local teams
will use every effort to prevent
the gambling on the games.

People of Sandersville and
visitors are talking about the
local bill being pressed by Repre
sentative Duggan in the House of
Representatives to prevent Gov-
renor in future from making ap
pointments of City Court officers
for this ccunty and expressions on
both sides can be heard.
It is thought that Mr. Duggan
may amend the bill so as to
leave the question to the people
as to how these officers shall lie
chosen, but the bill ns originally
drawn contemplates the election
of the judge and solicitor by
popular vote. Opponents of the
measure claim that u majority of
the bar oppose the bill but friends
insist that the people will approve
of it.
The terms of office of the pres
ent officers do not expire until a
year from the coming Novem
ber, but if the bill passes, these
officials will be elected this fall
when the general election is
had.
