tl\o Southern Bell Telephone A
Telegraph Company is arranging
to furnish telephone service from
Sandersville and Tonnillo to the
farmers and others in the vicinity
of this city. A representative of
this Company is here and will
personally take up the matter
with the farmers who desire tele-
phono service.
The development of the Farm
ers’ Line telephone service in this
state and throughout the entire
south has been very rapid during
the past few years and to this
medium is largely due the pro
gress, which has been made by
(lie farmers of the south.
There are many prosperous
farmersjin the territory surround
ing Sandersville and Tennill' and
the advent <>f the rural line tele
phone will work greatly to the
advantage of the merchants of the
city.

The increase over the returns of
last year amount to eight thou

sand of that sum being gain made
by the negroes of the county.

The tax digest which Hon. J.

of neatness and accuracy—as those
who know Mr. Duggan would

tains his enviable reputation ns
an officer. He nlso deserves
special credit for finishing it so
much earlier than usual.
As Mr. Duggan was not a can
didate for re-election, the propa-
tion of the present years digest
virtually concludes his last term
as Tax Receiver. Without being
at all officious, he has. during his
occupancy of the office, advanced
the property valuations to it con

SENATE COMMITTEE
KILLS LOCAL BILL.
To Amend City Court Act.
Election Will Not Now
Be Held.
The bill which has boon pending
in the House of Representatives
for sometime past, introduced by
Mr. Duggan and which provided
for an election to be bold in Oc
tober to determine whether the
people desire to elect the .Judge
and Solicitor by popular vote in
November was heard by the Senate
commitee last Tuesday and re
ported adversely by unanimous
vote.
Several citizens of the county
were heard by the committee
against, the bill urging objections
thereto, the principal objections
urged being that the Governor
had been making those appoint
ments for n long number of years
and there had been no dissatisfac
tion on account of the custom,
and that to force an election in
the October general election would
not got the sentiment of the white
people as several hundred negroes
would likely vote and this would
bring a bad election at this time.
It was furthermore brought to the*
at to:.t ion of the committee that
the terms of the present judge and
solicitor of the City Court do not
expire until November 1st, 11)09,
and that tho next Legislature will
convene several months before
that time, with ample time for
Representatives Joiner and Lord
to pass such act rpthe people may
then desire, with the advantage
then of tin' opportunity to settle
the matter by the white voters of
the county, it the people then
wish to elect these officers by
direct vote.
It is understood no reference
was made at the hearing to the
Smith-Brown race, but. this ob
jection has been urged by Mr.
Brown’s frjomls here, they
pointing out that the matter
won.d naturnlv cause some feel
ing that the bill took for granted
that the incoming governor would
not take into consideration the
best interest of t lie county in
the appointments.
It is thought bv many that to
leave it in the hands of the gov
ernor will give general satisfac
tion. The county has a most ex
cellent bar and it is hardly 1 ik• • 1 y

The proposed act luis^ caused
considerable discussion ot. tho
streets, opinions widely varying as
■to whether the people desired to
elect the officers just at this time.
Some were of the opinion that a
majority would favor it. and
others equally as confident that
the people would not favor it.
Others feared the late state cam
paign would cut an important
l part, and be thrashed out all over
again. However. prom intent-
friends of tlm governor have been
heard to express themselves
strongly against the bill and it is
said some of tiie supporters of Mr.
Brown would vote for the bill as
they favored the election of these
officers by the people.

The Federal authorities are
