Judge Flynt Hit*
Road Bond Issue
In City Club Talk
Atlanta. —Less legislation, a care
ful avoidance of bonded indebtedness
for any purpose whatever, and two
political parties of almost equal
strength to “keep tab” upon each
other are three of Georgia's most ur
gent needs, Judge James J. Flynt, of
Griffin, asserted Thursday in an ad
dress before the City club.
Judge Flynt was invited to speak
to the City club in accordance with
the club’s new policy of establishing
contact and understanding between
Atlanta and other cities of the state.
He was introduced by Joel Hunter,
president of the City club, who sug
gested that he talk about Georgia
and tell the members something of
conditions as he saw them as a vet
eran legislator and judge.
“The first eonclustiuii that I
reached upon returning to the leg
islature last spring, after several
years’ absence, was that we need
fewer laws and more efficient en
forcement of those we have,” Judge
Flynt declared. “I have ’ concluded
that the people who are least gov
erned, along the right lines, are the
happiest people. '
“I am a Democrat, and have been
since I was born, but I am finally
convinced that the best thing that
could happen to Georgia and to the
south would be for us to have both
a Republican and a Democratic par
ty, of almost equal strength. I be
lieve they would force each other to
better public service, and that our
government would be more econom
ically handled.”
The people of Georgia are one on
every issue that promises to help
build up the state, the speaker said,
but they differ sometimes a3 to the
best method of accomplishing that
end.
“We all want better educational
facilities and better roads,” he said,
“but we do not all want -to become
sunk in debt to get them, when we
can get them just as quickly and
more efficiently in other ways. I
do not distrust our public officials,,
but I have noticed that when mil
lions of dollars are all at once avail
able for public use that they get
spent somehow', without the purpose
for which they were borrowed be
ing accomplished.
“We will have more am! belter
roads 20 years from now, by paying
for them under our present system,
than we would have if we borrowed
the $70,000,000 some of our misguid
ed friends want us to borrow.”
Dr. C. B. Wilmer, formerly of At
lanta and an old member of the City
club, was a guest Thursday and spoke
briefly, indorsing ' Judge Flynt’s
views of the situation in Georgia.
“If the peoplp of this state had
put one-half the effort into building
up Georgia that some of them have
put into their attempts to get rich in
Florida, Georgia would now be the
greatest state anywhere,” Dr. Wil
mer declared.
SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY
FOR FINE OLD COUPLE
(From Gainesville News)
Our old friend 11. TL Mathis has
sent us the follpwing letter, which is
self-explanatory:
“Sunday, July 18, it was our pro
found pleasure to visit the old com
modious home of Mr. and Mrs. Mose
Tanner, down near the mill where the
beautiful streams come rippling over
the beautiful shoals, almost forming
cascades in many places, and where
the sweet fragrance of flowers waft
about us, and the beautiful beech,
poplar and elm trees, with their
dense foliage formed the most gorge
ous shades of almost any place I ever
saw'. This was the day that Mr.
Tanner passed his 77th mile post,
and his five children and a few
special friends decided to spend a
good day at his home and take him
and Mrs. Tanner absolutely by sur
prise, which they did, all carrying
good baskets, and things
to eat that could be thought of. A
mong it all w r as eight gallons of ice
cream and two large tubs of lemon
ade, interwoven with plenty of good
coffee.
“There were 59 people present.
Mr. Tanner has five children, twenty
grandchildren, six great-grandchil
dren, all being presfent. Mrs. Tan
ner is in her 77th year, and is as
spritely as a girl; her hair is as
black as a coal, not a gray hair in
her head, and can flit up and down
the steps like a bird.
“They both, under the surprise,
did all they could to make the oc
casion pleasant for all, and did make
us feel mighty good. Such occasions
make us want to live longer. They
(both always want to make you feel
mighty gooi about their home."

AUDITOR AT WORK ON BOOKS
OF COMMENCE BANK &
TRUST CO.
1 "
0 (From Commerce News)
Conditions that forced the direc
tors of the Commerce Bank & Trust
Cos. to close their doors last Friday
produced a chain of circumstances
for which the bank authorities were
not responsible and over which they
had no control. The bank was not
closed because it was a link in the
chain of the Bankers Trust Cos. It
is true that, at one time, they,, had a
financing contract, but that contract
had been cancelled, and the only
relationship the Commerce Bank &
Trust Cos. sustained w r as, that up to
the time of the failure of the At
lanta bank, the Commerce Bank &
Trust Cos. had arrangments with the
former to finance it when such as
sistance was needed. It should
therefore be clearly understood, in
the first place that no matter what
may happen, even if all the chain
banks are thrown into the courts,
neither the head nor any member
of the chain nor all of these combin
ed, cannot force the Commerce Bank
into the courts and hold responsible
for the debts of the head bank or
any of its members. It should be
known also that the Commerce bank
closed its doors for the protection of
all its depositors. The closing of so
many banks over night created rest
lessnes sand uneasiness among bank
depositors here and elsewhere. Tips
was true "of all depositors and all
banks. It was true of banks that
never had any connection with the
chain of banks. When it was known
that so many banks had closed there
was a disposition on the part of
some depositors to withdraw their
deposits. When it was evident that
there would be a run made on the
Commerce bank, the directors order
ed the doors closed because there was
not a sufficiency of funds in the
bank to pay*all depositors in full, and
the directors did not think it fair to
allow some depositors to become pre
ferred creditors. They, for this rea
son, felt that it was best for all con
cerned that the dors should be closed.
They believed then and feel now,
that the closing was temporary. As
a matter of fact, the 'bank was in far
better condition the morning its doors
closed than it had been in several
months, or even in years. The de
posits had grown rapidly—more than
doubled in recent months. If there
had been no rush made on the part
of the depositors the doors of the
bank would not have closed. There
has been n* sort of camouflage or
crookedness on the part of the
officials. Everything has been open
and above hoard. The cards have
all been laid dowh on the table. .
Auditors are now at work on the
books of the bank. When this audit
iR Pomplete, the true condition of
the bank will be revealed. With
ttys audit hs a basis of information,
the bank authorities hope to be in
position to perfect some arrange
ments that will protect all their de
positors. They see no reason why a
plan cannot be perfected that will
insurp safety to everyone who had
money on deposit.
In the meantime, the officials are
busy considering several plans they
have in view to re-establish confi
dence and insure safety and justice
to all their depositors. They will
appreciate it if parties
will manifest patience until the facts
are revealed by the audit and efforts
to make a satisfactory adjustment are
j successful*
Holding One Office While
Candidate For Another
(From Lawrenceville (News-Herald)
One or two newspapers in this
state are agtiating, rather persist
ently, the question as to whether a
candidate holding one office has
the right to run for another, with
out resigning.
No one claims that there is any
doubt about the legal right of a
person holding one public position
to become a candidate for another,
without first vacating the one be
ing hold, but it is insisted with con
siderable vehemence that it is moral
(ly wrong to do so.
[ Conditions might possibly be such
'as to give great force to that con
tention, and, especially if it is made
to satisfactorily appear official
duties were being so neglected that
loss is accruing to the state at large,
or to any particular county, or coun
ties, but no such charge has been
made which, of itself, is
conclusive evidence that it would not
only be useless, but act as a boom
erang against those designed to be
the beneficiaries of such rottenness.
We cannot recall an instance where
any man holding an office of im
portance with which he was satisfied
and did not intend to resign from
any way, to do so to become a can
didate for another, but can cite ma
ny notable ones to the contrary.
When Henry Clay, of Kentucky,
the great leader of the Whig party,
determined tQ become a candidate
for the presidency he represented
that state as one of its senators, but
did not resign, yet he was nominat
ed, defeated at the polls by a demo
crat, and served through the term,
and was again elected to that posit
ion to Succeed himself.
When Grover Cleveland first be
came a candidate for the democratic
nomination for the presidency he
was Governor of New York, but did
not resign from that position until
elected president.
When Hoke Smith first became a
candidate for the United States
senate he was governor of Georgia,
but did not resign from that posi
tion, and nobody expected him to
do so, yet it gave him a distinct ad
vantage over his opponents to stay
in and daily mingle with members
of the general assembly who were
to decide the issue, but in doing so
he violated no statutory, or.moral
law, or principle.
An Attorney General of this State
became a candidate for governor
during his term, but did not resign
from that position, nor was expect
ed to do so, yet was nominated and
elected to that position.
Judge J. F. Highsmith, of the
Brunswick Circuit, is a candidate
against Judge Stephens, for his place
on the Court of Appeals, but has,
nor will not resign and nobody ex
pects him to.
If a Clerk of the Superior Court
were to conclude that he had rather
have the job of the Ordinary than
his own, or a Tax Receiver that of
the Tax Collector, or the Coroner
that of the Sheriff, would good mor
als require either of them to resign
before or after, announcing theif
candidacy?
Whenever any candidate raises
such an issue against his opponent
the folks will understand that he is
hard up in the matter of vote get
ting, and, really, not in the fight.

of his life in Jackson county. He was

years ago, and he was forced to re
