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." ' DR. J. L. PENDLEY HEADS BAPTIST S. S. GROUP Dr. J. L.

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. MR. J. J.
