July is with us—likewise the

Secretary Cook’s annual report
shows 82 automobiles registered
from Grady county, 177 in Mitch
ell and 175 in Decatur county.
Ralph 0. Cochran, member
Legislature from Fulton and also
Senatorial candidate against
Hoke Smith, is confined to his
home with typhoid fever.
Now if “Little Joe” and J. R.
Smith will decide what they will
do, and then do it, the candidate
entry-list for the August pri
mary will probably be closed.
With the declaration that
Judge Holden nor Hugh Dorsey
will either enter the gubernato
rial contest, the list is now prob
ably made up and the race will
be run by Randolph Anderson,
Dr. Hardman and Nat E. and
W. J. Harris.
Hon. W. J. Harris, Chairman
of the State Democratic Execu

for governor, has called a meet
ing of the committee at the Kim
ball House, Afjanta, on Friday
July 3. He favors some changes
in the rules adopted by the com
mittee for the August primaiy
and convention, and gives notice
that he will tender his resigna
tion as committee chairman.
The Pelham Journal is urging
the citizens of that section to get
busy on the proposed new Han
Bell County proposition at this
session of the legislature. Thom
as and Grady counties should
take care of their respective in
terests in this matter.—Thomas

We have already started
work, Brother Davis, and we
hope Thomas county is also do
ing their best to oefeat this
movement.

Dividing the County
We understand that the back
ers of the Hansell county move
ment, a proposition to form
new cqunty out of territory taken
from Mitchell, Grady, Thomas
and Colquitt counties, are prepar
ing to go before the Legislature
again this summer and push the
plan vigorously. Following the
encouragement received at the
last session of the legislature with
a properly directed fight this
year they hope to bring the mat
ter to a successful conclusion.
The movement is opposed in
this part of Mitchell- county and
in all of the other counties named,
hut so far the opposition has
made no effort that we have
heard of to marshal their forces
in a concerted effort to prevent
the formation of the county of
Hansell. If any effort is to be
made to counteract the pressure
being brought to bear on mem
bers of the legislature by the
friends of Hansell county, it will
have to be made at once or
will be useless.
The opposition to Hansell coun
ty is not the result of mere sec
tional jealousy, though some
may be actuated by such narrow
motives, but is based on the be
lief that to carve the new county
out of the best portions of the
four counties named will work a
great hardship on the citizens
remaining, it is easy to the ad
vantage to the business interests
of those situated in the new
county seat but little for the
average citizen who must foot
the bill for establishing and
maintaining the new county
These are not our concerns, how
ever, and do not enter into our
reasons for opposing the new
county movement.
What does concern us is the
probable effect on that portion
of the old county left and those
citizens lif; in it. The expense
of government and maintenance
will not be reduced and the citi
zens of this part of the county
will be forced to submit to a raise
in the tax rate. There has been
considerable complaint about ou
present tax rate but the man
who owns farm land has not felt
this burden like those who have
ueen paying taxes on personal
property in the towns. Itdevel
oped at the recent session of the
tax equalizers of this county that
while corporations and firms in
the towns are asked to give in
their property on a v 60 per cent
basis, farm land is given in on a
basis of 15 to 20 per cent of its
actual value, Any further raise
in the tax rate is going to bring
about a demand for an equaliz i
tion between the town and the
farm and this may be expected
to be one of the results in case
the county is divided.
From the point of convenience
to the countv seat, the new coum
ty of Hansell will be very favor
ably situated, but the old county
will enjoy no such advantage.
The portion of Mitchell county
left will stretch for about thirty
miles .from northeast to south
west. - Those who now live far
thest fromjthe county seat will be
as far away as ever and will re
ceive absolutely no benefit from
the change.
We would like to see South
Georgia’s representation increas
ed but if we are to get nothing
more than a slight political ad
vantage we cannot see where
we can afford it.-Camilla En-
J terprise.
