Palm Beached yet?
How about hanging up a snake
for rain?
Is there any such thing as a
chigerless picnic?
Most of us are disappointed
that the war didn’t really start
on May first.
When it comes to good roads
Butts county leads all her neigh
bors by several laps.
There is a better feeling in the
country and the calamity howler
has lost his occupation.
What has become of the old
fashioned man who was going to
cut his cotton acreage or bust,
bygosh?
Butts county offers the short
est route, the logical route and
the worth while attractions for
the Dixie highway.
If Atlanta could round up her
crop of burglars and hurl them
into the foreign melee the war
would end speedily.
About this time the chairman
of the education board is getting
sweet-scented missives from fair
young things who want to teach
this fall.
Indian Springs is one of Butts
county’s greatest assets and with
the proper advertising a large
number of conventions should be
entertained there each season.
Getting time to raise some pre
miums for the Corn, Pig and
Canning Club members. Butts
has always treated these club
boys and girls handsomely and
must remember them with some
substantial prizes again this year.
The restless legislator is now
framing his pet bill and getting
ready to start something when
the legislature gets down to its
annual grind. -Butts County Pro
gress.
The private bill is the greatest
drawback to legislation in Geor
gia. Every member of the leg
islature seems to think it is up to
him to put in a pet measure for
somebody or something. And
the result is the real work is de
layed—Savannah Press.

GUESS AS TO WAY THE
LEGISLATURE WILL ORGANIZE
Atlanta, May 6. —Here is a
pretty close guess at the way the
Georgia legislature will be organ
ized this summer, based not up
on the claims of any candidate
but upon the general complexion
of the incoming assembly:
Ogden Persons is regarded as
the probable president of the sen
ate, and his election has been
rather generally predicted by the
press of the state.
Since the withdrawal of Jesse
Perry, now secretary to the gov
ernor, from candidacy for secre
tary of the senate, it is a practi
cal certainty that D. F. McClat
chey, the big-voiced and popular
reading clerk of the house, will
be chosed without opposition as
secretary of the senate to succeed
the late Charles Northen.
Regarding the speakership of
the house there is less certainty,
as W. H. Burwell. who is a can
didate to succeed himself and
who is generally regarded as the
probable recipient of the honor,
has to face the complication of
the fact that he is opposed by the
Georgia Anti Saloon League.
Aside from the merits of the case,
however, it looks today as though
he will be elected. For clerk of
the house John T. Boifeuillet is
looked upon as a certainty.
