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.

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.
