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.
