Wooten For
Solicitor-Gen.
The papers of the Circuit have
been discussing Circuit politics a
great deal of late. It seems that
since it has become known that
Hon. E. D. Graham, the able
p esent Solicitor-General, would
not be a candidate for another
term, several candidates have
p actically announced. The name
c Mr. W. A. Wooten, our fellow
l iwnsman, having been frequent
ly. and favorably mentioned in
connection with the race, the
Tunes-Journal called upon Mr.
V 'ooten and asked him as to his
i tentions.
Mr. Wooten stated that it was
t o early to begin the race at
t is time. The people were busy
in their crops. The primary
v old not take place until the
& ,mer of 1912. Next January
■\ uld be early enough to begin
a active canvas. But he fur
t r stated that at the proper
t ehe would announce for the
c lice and make an active and
a orous campaign, and would
e leavor to meet as many of
t. e voters of the Circuit and pos
it: Je. He says that his assur
i ces of support from all over
t Circuit are most encouraging.
Mr. Wooten is a young man in
t e very prime of life, of wide
I ofessional and political experi
c ce. He is a son of Hon. John
A. Wooten, now of Mcßae. He
1 presented his native county of
Montgomery in the Legislature
f-r one term, later moved to
Mcßae, and soon was made Soli
e or of the City Court of Mc-
Rae, and served two terms with
o t opposition. Last December
I r. Wooten declined to again of
fer for the place, but instead
decided to make Eastman his
future home.
Purchasing the DeLacy home
he and his interesting family be
came citizens of our town and
county. He immediately formed
a partnership with Judge Chas.
W. Griffin, under the firm name
of Wooten & Griffin.
Mr. Wooten is no stranger to
o r people for he in his youth
read law under his uncle, the
late Judge J. E. Wooten of this
place, and since then he enjoyed
a large practice in this County.
Every one that knows him pre
dicts that Billy Wooten, as his
fr. nds call him, will make a
winning race. The Times-Jour
nal has no hesitancy in commend
ir g his candidacy to the people
o ' the Circuit, and in predicting
h i election. -Eastman Times-
Journal.
V LL LOOK INTO
SOUTHERN EXPRESS.
Atlanta. — Upon its own initia
tive, the railroad commission has
c ned an investigation of the
airs of the Southern Express
C ipany looking to the reduc
t iof its rates in Georgia. The
f -t gun in this investigation
v ..s fired Thursday morning,
\ jn the commission, after a
1 ig executive session, passed a
r dution ordering the Sdlithern
E : press Company to file with the
co amission, under oath of its
o ials, statements and evidence
on certain statistical informa
t. >n. The order cites 22 points
for the express company to show.
Altho the investigation has
k n going on quietly for several
m nths, the public has not been
a are of it. The commission
h had a committee. Commis
si . iers Gray and Candler, to in
v igate the rates of the South
e i Express Company over the
c ntry. This committee made
it : report Thursday, and after
i: adoption by the commission
t resolution ordering the com-
P to furnish certain statistic
al .formation was passed.
hen this information is in the
h\ Is of the commission, it can
proceed with the investigation,
which will be one of the most
important ever conducted by a
state commission.
ADVANCES SOLUTION OF
SENATORIAL MATTER.
Atlanta, Ga., May s.—William
J. Harris, of Cedartown who will
represent the Thirty-eighth sena
torial district in the next senate,
and who was for many years pri
vate secretary to the late Sena
tor A. S. Clay, advances an en-
I tirely new idea as a solution of
I the senatorial problem in Geor
gia. Senator Harris’ plan ob
viates the necessity for a special
i senatorial primary, yet will give
the people an opportunity to ex
press their will regarding the
enatorship. It is a fact that
j Senator Harris was one of the
rst to advocate a primary for
ihe unexpired term.
“I have given the matter much
hought, ” said Senator Harris,
and I believe I’ve hit on a fair
olution to every one matter,
t his is my idea: Let the coming
vgislature elect as senator only
omeone who will agree to resign
it the close of the session of
ongress, which convenes next
December. This congress will
robablv close just before the
: ate primary next year.
“This agreement need not, of
•ourse, bar the senator so select
d from making the race for sen
ior in the primary. Then, it
•hould he arranged for the pen
ile to vote on the senator for
he unexpired and for the long
; :erms.
“By this plan the necessity
! ‘or a special primary will be ob
i hated, and at the same time the
people will have an opportunity
) record choice for the office. I
van see no unfairness in this
lan to any man or faction, and
ny sole idea is to offer a fair and
ist solution for a tangled situa
:on. It will give every candi
date, annonneed or prospective,
equal chance before the people.
I will also do away with any
charge that the voters of Geor
gia were not allowed to express
: iheir will in the matter.
“Those opposing a special pri
; mary on the grounds that it
j would not bring out a full vote
J and would be a heavy expense
could not bring forward these
guments for a general pri-
I mary.
“It would be unfortunate not
i to allow the people of Georgia to
1 elect the senator, when the
I Democrats all over the country
i are advocating the election of
[.senators by the people.”
There is much food for thought
;in Senators Harris’plan, and it
offered the voters of the state
i one probable solution of a
j vexed situation.
ALDING COTTON SLOD
FOR EIGHTEEN THOUSAND.
Forsyth, Ga., May 5. —That
j the farmers of the section sur
rounding Brooks in Spalding
county are in excellent financial
condition has been demonstrated
by the fact that Hon. Sam Boy
n purchased over 200 bales of
i cotton a few days ago from farm
rs of that community, paying 15
'cents per pound for all the cot
ion.
The total amount of the pro
eds of the cotton amounted to
ver SIB,OOO. One farmer sold
er $(5,000 worth of cotton.
The farmers of the Brooks sec
■>nare great believers in di
•rsification of crops and are al
tys in a position to hold their
tton for high prices. They are
iting examples that should be
; ilowed by farmers all over the
state.
FOR STEALING ORANGE,
Savannah, Ga., May 5. For
ti,e theft of an orange valued at
° ly five cents, Tennessee God
win was fined $lO by Judge Free
n.an in the city court today.
For stealing a pocket book con
taining $1,74, the same judge
lined Sidney Miller S2O. Neither
man could pay the fine and the
alternative of three months on
the chaingang will result in both I
cases. j

TWO NEW BOATS
TO PLY GCMULGEE.
Macon. Ga., May 5. T. B.
Abridge, the general manager of
the Macon and Brunswick Navi
gation Company, has gone to
Atlanta and New York to arrange
for the construction of two new
steamboats, which will be put in
to operation on the Ocmulgee
river, plying between this city
and the coast. It is planned to
resume navigation on the Oc
mulgee on an extensive scale,
now that the government is
spending considerable money in
deepening the channel and dred
ging the stream. The merchants
believe that they can save in the
aggregate large sums by having
their northern freight shipped
here by water.
