I’ELH YM AFTER NEW COUNTY
ALSO.
Viewing with strict impartiality
the situation relative to the Hansel)
county movement, it looks as if the
separate desire of Pelham and
Meigs, to be the county site, is one
of the things which will most un
questionably kill whatever chances
there might have been for a new
county with that name.
The TImes-Enterprise is against
either of the propositions. The ma
jority—the great majority—of the
people of Thomas county feel simi
larly about It. A representative body
of its citizens should be In Atlanta
next Thursday, to express that de
sire to the committee of the legis
lature which will have this

disease.
Conditions, affecting the work of
the health department, are coutinu
ally changing. A few years ago the
important feature was the preventing
of the spreading of epidemics. That
epidemics would take place from
time to time was regarded as a mat
ter of course. Today such epidem
ics are considered as unlikely in
cities properly supervised and con
trolled.

There are many factors at work,

thing to warrant the expectation
that the Legislature would grant
it. The movement is one which Is
at the height of interest at this time
and is being closely watched by the
people of at least four counties.
Grady is stirred up, especially the
folks in the district which the new
county wants; Colquitt is somewhat
indifferent but Thomas and Mitchell
more than make up for it in the fer

The question will be settled next
Thursday before the Legislative com

17 VEtil out
Atlanta, July 19.—A 17-year-old
boy, young looking for his age, is
being held by the police as the chief
of the bond which has been robbing
drug stores around Atlanta for the
last couple of months.
The officers thought they had to
deal with a gang of professionals,
but sow believe that a gang of boys
did the work. The name of the boy
7woh was arrested as the ring-leader
of the gang is Frank Houseman. He
has confessed to taking part in at
least one robbery.
TO STANDARDIZE AVTO HORNS.
Paris Finds Large Percentage of
Street Accidents Due to Diversi
fied Kinds of Warning Signals—
New’ York Expert Urges Similar
Action by State Legislature*.
New York, July 19.—A cable dis
patch from Paris says that two-
thirds of the street accidents there
have been attributed by experts to
the diversity of sounds used as auto
mobile warnings; and that a move
ment is on foot to standardize the
signals used for this purpose.
Charles Thaddeus Terry, General
Counsel for the American Automo
bile Association, and one of the
dilghest authorities in the country
on automobile legislation, in com-
mentin on the movement in the
French city, said that similar action
by State Legislatures of this country
is one of the greatest importance in
order to prevent the rapadlly in
creasing number of automobile ac
cidents.
“AitlomobUlsts generally,” said
Mr. Terry, “are convinced that some
thing must be done in the near fu
ture toward the adoption of a stat
ute which will require the uniform
signalling device of a character
which would prevent accidents. It
is generally admitted that many

Report of the Committee.
Atlanta, July 19.—The House com

lias recommended favorably the bill
providing for an additional one mill
ad valorem tax to raise money for
the prompt payment of school teach

It was declared this morning in
the corridors of the capltol that a
majority of the legislators are al
ready agreed to pass this fncasure,
or to provide some other equally ef
ficacious means for raising the mon
ey for the teachers.
As It stands now, It appears that
the one mill tax will be the most
likely solution, though there are
some who still Incline to the Idea
that a bond Issue will be Vest,

We believe the public sentiment

as the conception develops, the ten-
demy is to look less favorably upon
health boards devoting their time to

the community owned hospital is de

as the city owned waterworks or

cities, there are many who believe
that every institution of this kind

surgeons and physicians, and not by
health officers.
