The entire country joins all Geor
gia and the south in mourning the
death of Joel Chandler Harris,
which occurred at his home, ' The
Wren’s Nest,” West End, Atlanta,
Friday evening, and now Atlanta is
searching for “the most fitting way
in which honor could l*e paid to
Uncle Remus. Why, Atlanta, you
only honor yourself when you use
his name. You may name parks
and write inscriptions on marble,
but Uncle Remus budded his mon
ument long ago in the hearts of
those who mingle with nature in
language of the birds of the air and
beasts of the fields. We extend our
heart-felt condolence to ‘ Miss
Sally” and the “little boys.”
GIVE THIS SIDE REPRESENTATION.
Tt is not our purpose in this arti
e'e to make a choice betwen indi
vidual candidates for office in the
approaching primary in Jaok9on.
We wish to call the attention of
the voters to the situation that will
obtain should a Chairman of the
Board of Commissioners of Roads
and Revenues le chosen from the
eastern or northeastern portion of
the county.
Under the bill now pending l>e
fore the general assembly, and
which, no doubt, will Im* enacted
into law, the chairman of said hoard
ceases to he a dictator and becomes
a servant of the people, sharing his
authority equally with the other
two members of tin j hoard.
Let us look at the situation for a
moment.
Mr. Stapler, who has no opposi
sition, hails from Minish s district,
will make a good commissioner find
will see to it that his side of the
county comes in for a full share "1
road work. What is said ol Mr.
Stapler is equally true of his next
door neighbor, Mr. Marlow, of Mil
ler’s dist rii t.
Now, common fairness would
seem to suggest that the third and
only commissioner to be selected at
this primary should come from this
section.
Granting that competency and
honesty of purpose (, f the aspirant
should he our guiding influence
when we east our ballots, we con
tend that the present candidates are
all good men and on fin equal foot
ing in this respect, and the ques
tion now resolves itself into a fair
and just sectional representation on
the board.
The road commissioners without
opposition live on the extreme op
posite side of the county. We be
lieve the voters will see the justice
of our plea and give this part of
the county the remaining member.
