Wednesday iunf. 4, 1024 / Wffl Lfflfflg TELL OF WANTED LAW Carl Guess May Be Candidate For President of Senate Judiciary Reform Proposed ATLANTA, June 4.—Represen tative Cail N. Guess, of Decatur, DeKalb county, will give his prin cipal attention at the coming ses sion of the Georgia legislature to the constitutional amendment of which he is joint author, which would place all county officers on salaries instead of being paid by fees. “The people at large have not only expressed their wishes thru the grand jurors of their counties, but at the ballot boxes as well,” says Mr. Guess. “I am frank to say it takes so long to ge- through a constitutional amendment which has to b e ratified by the people, I am expecting legislation to be introduced in th e shape of a bill which will expedite matters as to the fee and salary system. ‘‘Being chairman of the general judiciary committee of the house, I am certain many important bills will come before this committee for consideration, but not having had the opportunity to come in con tact with the legislative members up to this time, I am unable to say what bills of statewide importance will be introduced.” Mr. Guess remarks that he has been in the house three times now and that he has become a candidate for senator from the 34th sena torial district, and if successful, he says he intends to be a candi date for president of that body. Representative S. K. Christo pher, of Gainesville, would have passed a law at the coming ses sion which would require judges of the Superior courts to rotate. “North Carolina,” he says has had a law for fifty years requiring judges to rotate; South Carolina has had one for about fifteen years. I am told the people of both states are well pleased with the system.” Mr. Christopher also has in mind a bill providing for biennial ses sions of the legislature instead of annual as is the system under the present law. In addition to these two major bills, Mr. Christopher says he | plans to introduce the following bills: To make municipal corporations and counties subject to garnish ment. To require non-residents to de posit $3.50 for costs'■with the just ice of the peace before he files suit. To authorize county authorities to condemn lands by a short meth od when it is necessary to estab lish new public roads. To authorize appeals from the judgments of justices of the peace in possessory warrant cases. To make it legal for three fourths of a jury to return a ver dict in Superior and City courts in all misdemeanor cases and in all civil cases where the amount involved does not exceed SI,OOO. To amend the constitution to re duce the membership in the house by giving the five largest counties three members each and the 20 next largest two members each. To make it a crime to use ob scene, vulgar or profane language in the presence of any child un der ten years old. Represnetativ e W. D. Trippe, of Taylorsville, Bartow county, is another who would hav e the legis lature meet only once in two years, and he promises to support a bill to this effect. Mr. Trippe also says h e will op pose any proposal to tax incomes in the state and will insist that ap propriations stay within the reve nues of the state. He adds that he will be a candidate to succeed himself. Senator G. A. Johns, of the 27th district, states that business and professional duties will bar him from being a candidate to succeed himself in the coming election. He indicates he has no “pet” measures to espouse. EVEN MAJORS MAY GET BONUS PAY INDIANAPOLIS', Ind., June 4. Ex-service men who wer e discharg ed with a rank above that of cap tain may have some adjusted serv ice credit coming to them, under the new adjusted compensation law, according to advices received at national headquarters of Ameri can Legion from Washington. Dur ing th e time th e officer served as captain or held a commission below that rank, he is entiteld to adjust ed service credit, his credit ceas ing when he received the perma nent or provision promotion which placed him above the maximum rank. For instance, an officer holding a commissionn as captain when he entered the army, and who served in that grade for a period of five months before be ing promoted to major, will be entitled to five months adjusted service credit. The same hold true of the navy where an officer serv ed for a length of time either as lieutenant or some grade below lieutenant. Great Britian is striving for the cotton supremacy of the world so our boll weevils should be indicted for helping her.

L. Buard, of Chattanooga, Tenn., commander Tennessee division, when he said the Sons were here to further periect their organization and to uphold the principles for which tjieir fathers fought, “to continue the precepts handed down to us by them and keep their great deeds properly written on the pages of history.” “It cannot be said that they were not right when they carried the Con federate flag and followed Lee, Jackson, Forrest, Wheeler, Semmes and others,” Commander Buard said. “Coming from headquarters, Chat tanooga, where Lookout Mountain once roared the Battle above the Clouds, Missionary Ridge across the way, now lifts its snow white monu ments, but treasures its crimson memories, Chickamauga battlefields at a distance bringing back recol lections of heroic struggles. “It is with joy that I am with you in Memphis, which is rich in-history and romance of ante-bellum days I love the name of Memphis for it was in this city that I resided for several years. I am acquainted with her peo ple and their spirit of hospitality is known throughout the Southland and 1 1 bespeak your welcome within her gates. “This wonderful auditorium could not have had a more spectacular opening than to have it dedicated by the reunion of Confeherate Veterans and Sons of Veterans, and I am sure this represents the sentiment of Mem phis and will stand out as pinc nacle to her citizenship, and will for ever be a magnificent monument to her future progress. “To you young and charming I young women, who have so gracious ly and willingly favored us with your presence by bringing joy and merri ment to this reunion by being repre sentatives on sponsorial staffs, it is not presumptuous to say that in no section of the country could there be gathered together a lovelier aray of womanhood than you fair daugh ters of the Confederacy and the flowers of this, our Southland. And I want to partake in a full measure the frolics that have been pepaed for your entertainment. “To you who are not of our or ganization and are here to join us, I want your visit to be one of pleas ure and recreation, and I welcome you to share with us in our festivi ties and Memphis Hospitality. “In conclusion, I extend thanks to the press for its liberality and. ever willingness in carrying news which has so wonderfully helped to make this reunion a grand success.” SONS OF VETERANS HEAR LUCIUS MOSS MEMPHIS, Tenn. June 4.—The “long gone rift between the north and South has been cemented with the blood of boys” of the land of Grey and the land of the Blue on foreign battlefield, according to Lu cius L. Moss, of Lake Charles, La., commander of the Army of Tennes see, Sons of Confederate Veterans, in his response to the address of welcome at the opening session of the annual reunion of the United ; THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECOnDER ' States Confederate Veterans and his organization. Commander Moss said: “The dark days of the 60’s are forever gone; gone is strife, the anger a.id the bitterness the pictures of the old I dissension is fading away, but at the altar of our hearts the fires of our love and devotion mount ever higher wtih an always increasing splendor ‘lt is the sacred duty of the Sons of Confederate Veterans to keep alive this flame. The world has been rocked to its foundation stones since our fathers fought and died; the boys of the Gray and Blue, side by side on foreign fields have cemented with their blood the long gone rift between the States; the flag our fathers opposed now floats higher than all the world’s banners and we of the old South and the new South hold our own heads as proudly high and say, “Tis your flag, ’tis our flag saved by the sacrifice of our wo men, consecrated by th': blood of our boys.” Representing this new South which reverently bows the knee to the old South of our fathers, I respond to the beautiiul and cor dial words of welcome which have fallen from eloquent lips. If you could but read the joy of our hearts you would even then have but a faint conception of our ap preciation of this hour. “On behalf of the Sons of Con federate Veterans I accept your kindly words, and promise you they will be treasured away in |the record of our fathers’ heroism I and the sacred folds of the Stars and Bars.” With so many autos, it is no I longer a joke when the chicken crosses the road.

GPJYSOH TILLS SFUDENTS OF WILSON Physician Draws Intimate Por trait of Dead President Dur ing Commencement Address RICHMOND, June 4.—Rear Ad miral Cary T. Grayson, Woodrow Wilson’s physician and confidant for the last eleven years of his life, drew an intimate picture of the former President tonight at the commence ment exercises of the Mediral Col lege of Virginia. Admiral Grayson’s theme in his addres to the graduates was preven tative medicine and as an example of how a physician may practice .the exiom that ‘ a stitch in time save nine” he described how form er President Wilson, a frail man when he entered the White House was made physically able to carry on the burdens of a war president. “I cannot think of a better or more practical illustration of how a person under medical advice can regulate his daily life so as to per mit him to give full scope to all the powers conferred on him by nature than that furnished by the man whom I have had the privilege of being in intimate relationship with for eleven years” said Dr. Grayson. During the eight years that Wood row Wilson occupied the White House he worked as few Presidents have worked and bore such as few men are called upon to shohlder. The remarkable thing in the case of Mr. Wilson is NOT that he broke down finally, but that with a constitution ‘by no means strong, and bearing a burden fit to kill a physical giunt, he kept well by obedience to simple law’s of health. “Pour features of his life and personality kept him going under conditions that would have soon ex hausted the powers of younger and stronger men. These four things were; system, exercise, a sense of humor and proper food.” UPHAM TO QUIT AS NATIONAL TREASURER CHICAGO, June 4.—Fred W. Upham has decided to relinquish the place as treasurer of the republican national committee after many years of service.
