I here, is contained in a letter to Col. ■ IShipp, dated January 16, and rei.ds * as follows: “Responding to yours of the 15th I I instant, just received, wherein yiht.j ask whether, in my opinion, a voter' I living in an indepedendent school j district is eligible to vote in an elec-] j tion for county school superinten dent,'! beg to say .that I have again I examined Section 14 7 of the Geor igie School Cpde, and must adhere Ito the opinion expressed in my let jter to Hon. N. H. Ballard, State I Superintendent of Schools, dated December 31, 1923, which contain jed the following paragraph: “ ‘With further reference to the I question of the validity of the law '.contained in Section 147 of the’ I State School Code of Georgia, es- I pecially with reference to the pro vision holding that voters of an in- I dependent school .system not | participate in an election for |ty superintendent of,sch6ols, I beg ■ to say that I would not fie willing | to take the responsibility of hold-. , ing that .'this law-is inoperative and | of no effect, in fact of the repeak ' ed discussions of our Supreme Court | holding that no law should beheld I unconstitutional unless it is mani festly in conflict with some pro vision of the Constitution of Geor gia.’ “It seems to me a very serious question to disfranchise citizens f yno appear to be entitled to pal ticipate in the selection of countv officers. The law says that the County School Superintendent shall be elected by the voters of the ccuht'y, and the situation is not at all. free from doubt. In other words, the Supreme Court might hold that this law, preventing voters of a county from participating in the election of a county superin tendent of schools,is illegal. It wou’d-seem to me that the voters, whether living in an independent school district, or not, are interest- SCire Relief i LIQUID-NO I ’ NO DOPE For Boweland Teethinc Troubles.Constipatiori Colic.

Every citizen of an independent dis trict is vitally interested in the Pro gress and success of the schools of the entire county. The matter ought’ to be thorough ly tested in the courts and ought to set the question at rest, but 1: would feel unauthorized to hold that that contained in Section 147 sof the School Code’ is unconsitutional, and that therefore ptopje who are by thatj law prohibited from voting in such an election, should.partici pate and'vote. I do think, however, that ought to be put to a judicial test, and trust that it ma/ be done in order that the question may F' finally set at rest. I suggested to the State School Commissioner, in another part of the letter quoted from, that it would be wholesome to have this matter finally passed upon by our Supreme Cqurt. 1 still think so, anc. trust that this course may be followed.” Pui suant to the suggestion con tained in the foregoing letter it was suggested today by interested par ties that the jinatter may be brought before the courts in the form of manda mus proceedings directed against the Democrat'* 1 executive committee, and that these through the usual processes of law will fin ally bring the question before the Supreme court for adjudication. In the meantime, it remains t<\ be seen what action will be taken by locM authorities, and whether or net Americus residents will be permitt; ed to • Vote for this officer in the coming primary.

Doctors have found bv experience that np medicine for colds, coughs, sore throat and influenza can be de pended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is .made thoroughly active. That is why the (first step in th e treatment is the nausealess calomel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors alsb point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influenza and colds and fe one of the important factors in en abling the patient to successfully withstand an attack and ward off nneumonia. One or two Calotabs at bed time, with a swallow of water—that’s all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your eating, pleasure or woj;k. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Gen uine Calotabs ar e sold only in orig inal sealed packages, price thirty five cents for the large, family, package; ten cents for the small, vest-pocket, size.

V., Americus, Ga., has again been visit ed by death, and took from our midst our beloved comrade, J. T. Bowden, who died September 21, 1923. Colnrade Bowden was born Nov. ! 12, 1844. z and was nearing his 79th year. He was married to Miss Ida C. | by America's bedtfomcin 'Mer "T) GUJ'SIIACK lOlXENiid* Gertrude Atherton XLVH (continued) She looked up Into his eyes, anxious but imperious, and an swered softly: “Why not?” "Exactly, ('ve no desire to take that long journey with you. but I'm not going to take any chances, either. - . . . Ah! Here's an ilea ftiat beats the other 'Qiollo'w. When the party breaks tip we’ll go down to Huntersville with them, marry there, and return to camp. I don’t see how your Dolomites could beat this for a honeymoon. Why in thunder should we trail all the way over to Europe to find se clusion jvhen we must return in two or three months, anyhow? It’s ■i scandalous waste. We can go to the Dolomites for our second hon eymoon we’ll * have one every year. Ai>d this is much more in the picture if you want to be Mary Ogdeh again. . She never would have proposed anything so elabo rate and unnecessary. Say yes, and don’t be more than a minute about it.” Mary drew in her breath sharp ly. The plan made a violent and irresistible appeal. There would bp no long" interval for possible re versal. for contacts In which it might be difficult to hold fast to her new faith. But what excuse could she make to leave him later? . . Later? Did Austria really exist? Did she care? Let the fu ture take care of Itself. Her hori zon. a luminous bpjid. encircled these mountains. . . She. smiled into his ardent eyes. “Very well. I’ll write to Hortense todaj and tell her to send me up a trous seau of sorjs. And now —y</u are to understand that you have not damd*lo propose to- me yet and are suffering all the qualms of un certainly. for 1 am a desperate flirt, and took a long walk in the woods this morning with Mr. Scores.” “Very well. Miss Ogden. 1 will now* do my best to make a fool of myself, and as soon as we return to camp will telegraph to .New York for a five-pound box of choco lates." ) “Hark! Hark! The Lark!” Jiouted Todd r as he rowed past with Babettf Gold. ‘‘Only there isn’t a lark or any other bird In these woods that I’ve been able to discover.” “Birds sing one at a time,” shout ed back Clavering. "Choir of jeal ous soloists.” He rowed into a little cove and -.hey gazed into the dim green woods, but the ihaple leaves grew almost to the ground, and it was like peering through the tiny changing spaces Os a moving cur tain through which one glimpsed green columns flecked with gold. He beached the boat, and they walked, single file, up a narrow iun-way madeiby tha.deer. Every where w.as whispering curtain. Between the rigid spruce 2nd soft maples were fragrant bal sams and ferns, and an occasional pine with its pale green* spikes. They passed enormous boulders de tached from the glaciers that had ground mountains in their em brace, but today things of mere beauty in their coats of pink and ’green and golden moss. Their footsteps made no sound on the mossy path, and they came suddenly upon a deer and his doe drinking at a pool. But the ant lered head was flung back instant ly, the magnificent buck wheeled tin his hind leks, gave a leap and went crashing through the forest snorting his protesting fury. The doe scampered after, her white lined tail standing up perfectly straight. They sat down on a log, dried and warmed by the sun in this open space, talked sos • hours. There was no need for careful- avoidance of dangerous subjects. Covering had come to these woods nearly every ’year since he had made the north his home, and she had forgotten noth ing of her woodland lore. When one is "in the woods,” as tjie great Adirondacks are familiarly called, one rapely talks of anything but their manifold offerings. It is easy enough to forget the world. They both had their Jong tramps, their rough campings-out, more or less exciting adventures. When a loud bell, hung in a frame outside the camp, summoned them to dinner, they walked out briskly. Once, as the trail widened, he touched her fingers tentatively. She let her own curl for a moment, then gave him a provocative glance over her shoulder and hurried on. a* a XLVJII Clavering, when making up his list with Mr. Dinwiddle (by cour- tesy), had, with the exception of Todd, who was always the life of any party, Gora, whom he always liked to have at hand, and Eva Dar ling, who was a favorite of "The Ambassador to the Court of the Sophisticates," as Todd had long since dubbed him, chosen his guests at radom, taking whom he could get, careful merely to ask those who, so far as he knew, were on speaking terms. , But he hardly could have gath- Reese December 1876, who preced ed him to Hm* grave several yeafs.
