Hill, Ordinary v THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY THE CAPITOL SHOULD BE REMOVED No Reason Why People of Georgia Should Spend Millions To Gratify Macon’s Ambition Tc Grow At State’s Expense Why Atlanta Protests Removal. 'pHE Legislature should kill the proposed Constitutional amendment which provides for a removal of the Capitol. There is no good and sufficient reason WHY the Capitol should be re moved from Atlanta to Macon, or anywhere else. The mere fact that Macon wants it and is willing to put forth considerable effort to get it is not by any means a com pelling reason why Macon should have it. And there is no other reason advanced that should challenge the attention of a sworn legisla tor of this State. But for the life of us we see no reason why any person OUT SIDE of Macon should grow ex cited about it, unless he be a non-resident real estate owner or something of the sort, with ' material ends to serve. Certain- ly, the common, ordinary run of taxpayer, who would have to pay the freight of removal—AND IT WOULD BE HEAVY—will find it more to his interests to leave the Capitol right where it is and has been for so long a time, hap pily and satisfactorily situated in Atlanta. Macon’s ambition in this mat ter is misguided ambition. Macon is seeking in this thing to grow not WITH the State, but at the EXPENSE of the State. Macon would selfishly promote her own interests in this cause, even though it entailed a big ex pense, unnecessary and unwise, upon every taxpayer in the State of Georgia. Macon Makes Virtue Of Necessity Macon’s campaign has been rather adroitly planned, to catch the unsus pecting She is not asking DIRECTLY that the Capitol be removed to Macon, rather is she pleading that “the peo ple he permitted to settle this ques tion.” Macon knows, good and well, of course, that the Capitol cannot he re moved EXCEPT by a vote of the peo ple—being a Constitutional amend ment —however much she might ob ject to that way of settling it. Hence, in the plea she advances she makes a smug virtue of necessity. What she is after is not at all to as certain the .shew of the people —it merely is to consummate, if possible, the removal of the Capitol. Why cannot Macon be altogether frank about it? Macon's Promises Vague To move the Capitol from Atlanta would involve a tremendous expense. True. Macon promises, in a vague sort of way. to vote a million dollars of bonds for the purpose of re-locating the Capitol. But that would be a mere drop in the bucket at best—if the bonds ever wero voted The present Capitol building; could not he duplicated for less than $2,500,000 The land upon which the Governor’s Man sion now stands is worth $500,000 It would take half of Macon's little $1,000.- 000 bond issue to duplicate that ONE item alone —and It will be remembered that this mansion originally was given to the State of Georgia, free of rest, by the people of Atlanta, when the Cap itol was located here, with the under standing that the location was to be per manent. It has enhanced tn value to the State, bee iuse Atlanta has grown and expand ed, because of her pluck and enterprise, into a city of wonderful physical propor tion* and values A 1 In all, the taxpayers of Georgia like y would he lucky to escape with an linn -cessarv expenditure of $5,000,000 or mo' e. if the Capitol were moved from AU mta. Entire State Is Interested Tl 6 proposal to remove the Capitol fra n Atlanta is not so much mi Atlanta vsT\ Macon affair as It is a Macon vs. thn Stale of Georgia affair. Tie Capitol is a State prooerty, not a local property It serves a State pur pa® , not a local purpose. I It should lie located permanently, where It will nest serve the purposes of the people: it is not a thin* to be kicked about from city to city, for speculative purposes. Tie Capitol has been located In Atlanta for forty-odd years N'o whisper of com plaints has come as to that save from the city of Macon Even Macon's claim that she is 'geo graphically right” is flimsy, in that she isn't the center of the State in any respect whatever save that of mere phys ical location—which Is weak as a sin gle and conclusive argument. Macon isn't the center of population certainly not of white population—or she isn't the center of wealth or taxation It will hardly he claimed that she is the center of culture, in that one sec tion of the State has nothing whatever to boast over another in that. Macon isn't the center of anything, save an ambition to take over the Capi tol, at the expense of the taxpayers, north, east, south and west—and that center is circumscribed by her own cor porate limits and no more This annual tempest in a teapot should cease N'o doubt Savannah, Augusta. Colum bus. Rome. Athens Uriffin, Cartersville Miliedgeville and other worth while cit ies and towns in Georgia would like to have the Capital. And there Is not one of them that hasn't as good a claim to It as Ma con So far, however, no one of them has roposed that the taxpayers burden emselves heavily and unnecessarily to -e them In the Capitol. Not Constructive Legislation tnta also has her prtde of history rsdltlon. wn from the cruel wreck and ruin ! Atlanta Citizen.* Pro test Against Capi tal Removal. THE citizens and taxpayers of the city of Atlanta and Ful ton and ReKalb counties earnestly appeal to the citi zens and taxpayers of all sections of the state of Georgia to Join In the patriotic purpose of de feating the pending bills in the legislature seeking to remove the state capital to Macon, and they appeal to the various commercial bodies. chambers of commerce, municipalities and organizations of every kind to urge upon their members in the house and the senate by telegram, by letter and personal interview to vote against these bills, for the following, amongst other good and sufficient reasons: 1 Because such an agitation will embroil the different sec tions in the state in strife and animosity divide the people, commercially and socially, and pre vent the state and her citizens from securing their share of the prosperity and development which Is at hand during the reconstruc tion period following the great war which has Just ended. This is peculiarly a time for a continua tion of the united, harmonious efforts of all the citizens of all sections to upbuild Georgia, ad vance her superb prestige in busi ness, finance and general growth, and to discourage all discord, strife, division and bitterness 2 Because the present location of the state capital was deter mined by a vote of the people, and with an agreement on the part of the city of Atlanta that in con sideration of its location being made permanently there the city would donate the site where it is now located, which was done for the purpose of the capitol. and in addition contributed in money the appraised value of the Mil ledgeville capitol buildings, and no public necessity for the present removal of the capital exists, but it is against the public interest and alone sought to gratify the < ambition of a rival city. i 3 Because the taxpayers are 1 already heavily burdened with 1 federal taxes recently levied to ' pay the war debt, and the state i already has a heavy floating debt > of her own. has no constitutional i right to issue bonds to build the ■ capitol, and cannot use the sale i of any of the present capitol < grounds or ‘executive mansion ex- i cept to pay the public debt with- i out violating her word to her ■ bondholders; the cost of a capitol i and executive mansion at Macon i of equal capacity and facilities > to that now possessed bv the state .

Atlanta still does not desire to expand and grow greater by tearing down her sister Georgia cities. She does not wish and will not at tempt to rise to further greatness upon the broken hopes and crushed ambitions of other Georgia communities. THE PROPOSAL TO REMOVE THE CAPITOL FROM ATI-A XT A IS NOT CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION, it Is essentially destructive Macon's ambition should be made of sterner stuff than that, Atlanta Proud Of Her Record Atlanta is proud that she is the Cap ital City of Georgia. It has been one of her boasts this half century. And she has risen splendidly to every demand placed upon her in respect of this. NEVER HAS ATLANTA FALTERED KN STANDING RV GEORGIA AND NEVER HAS SHE BEEN POUND WANTING WHEN THE ROLL CALL FOR WORKERS IN GEORGIA’S BE ! HALF HAS BEEN SOUNDED. Atlanta does not, naturally, wish to : see the Capitol removed Atlanta has no abiding fear in her heart of hearts that it WILL be re moved But Atlanta does not wish to be slap ped in the face, for nothing Atlanta does not believe that Georgia will countenance this senseless and un reasonable assault upon one of this State's most cherished Institutions, situ ated. to the incidental good fortune of Atlanta, in Atlanta. The Legislaure should dismiss the ex traordinary plea of Macon, dismiss It as unbusinesslike and unnecessary and as irrelevant to the prosperity, the happi ness. the comfort, the honor and ths well being of the State. j NEW PASTOR FOR CHURCH OF CHRIST. Rev. Owen Still, who lias just I closed a very successful two weeks ! revival at the Church of Christ, has accepted a unanimous call from the congregation of that church to serve as its pastor and will enter upon his duties as such next Sunday. Since coming to Eustis. Rev Still and his assistants, Rev. Stone and Miss Wilhite, have won a warm place in the affections and admira tion of our people, and it is grati fying to know that the church will continue to have regular services. The following is Rev. Still’s ac ceptance of the call to ilia church : “I very gladly accept the work as pastor of the Church of Christ of Eustis. lam here to live and serve Christ, and therefore covet the confidence of the people. The pub lic is invited to attend all of our services. The revival service at the church of Christ came to a close Sunday night. Mr. Still’s subject in the morning was “Mother” (Ephesians 6-1-4) and his address was a masterly one and the large audience was deeply affected. He urged everyone to “visit home and mother.” His eulogy of his sainted mother was very fine. Sub ject at night was “Why Not,” taken from Luke 14-15-24. His dis cusion of the various reasons off ered by people for not accepting Christ was given earnest and ser ious attention by the large audi ence. There was one confession and one by letter, and five baptisms at the night service. The two weeks’ meeting result ed in great good to the church, and there were added to the church 18, two by letter and 16 were baptized. All of them home people. In past five months 33 have been added to the church, 9 by letter Buick Prices for 1920 With Many Improvements Model K-44 $1495.00 Model K-45 1495.00 Model K-49 1785.00 THESE PRICES THE SAME AS 1919 Closed Jobs as Follows: Model K-4b $2085.00 Model K-47 "" 2255.00 Model K-50- 2695.00 (F. 0.
