NEW SENATORIAL DISTRICT
NEWTON. ROCKDALE AND WAL
JOS TO FORM DISTRICT.
-
There's a bill before the presto t leg
fslature to create a new Senatorial
Pistriet in Georgia, making a total of
forty-six Instead of forty-five.
in the plan to re apportion, Newton,
Walton and Rockdale will form a
district. This will make only one
(fringe, that of dropping Oconee from
the district that w e are now a part of.
The new bill proposes to form a new
district of the counties of Clark. Oco¬
nee and the new county of Barrow, of
which Winder is the county seat.
The bill to create a new Judicial
Circuit from the counties of Newton.
Jasper. Butts and Henry and possibly
Rockdale we understand lias a good
chance of becoming a law.
Representative R. W, Campbell of
Newton has been assigned to three of
the most important committees in the
house, that of County and County Mat.
ters. Penitentiary and Manufacturers.
Col. R. W. Milner in a card in this
issue of tlie News says that Mr. Camp
hell will not introduce a bill to change
one paragraph of tlie new one commis¬
sioner law that was passed in 1913
This has to do with the collection of
commutation tax and as the bill now
stands the commissioner is compelled
to collect this tax himself and provides
no compensation if he employs air-one
Mr. Campbell gives'for his reason in
not making the change is from the
fact rhar he made public announce¬
ment in his campaign that h<> would
not Interfere with the bill as it was
nassed in 1913. He says however that
tf the majority of th,. voters of the
countv should ]>etition him to make
the change that he would gladly Co so.

j Editor News:—
! *' as t week there appeared in the
i ^' _ inVs a notice to the effect that lo
J cal | a
bil1 would be introduced in the
j ,uissioner le pslature to amend the County Cum¬
j » Act so as to provide a new

'I 5 ' 1 not s ton that notice, but I did
-
11,1 However I did not know that
,
Mr. Campbell had announced in his
race for representative that lie would
not amend the Commissioner’s Act.
In order to make good his cam
I ! hell 'W* will } aom refuse ] 8e * n to tllis introduce regard Mr. Cam]
th,. amend
I refferred to in that notice unless
j petitioned by a majority of the voters
j of the county and I deem if only fair
j ' u Mr. Campbell to personally assume
I rex]KuisihiItiy for the publication of
that notice, else some of the voters
might charge Mr. Campbell with break¬
ing campaign promises. Personally I
think the change ought to lie made; as
the law now stands the County Com¬
missioner himself must collect all the
road tax of the county without any
co«t. to the county; He can’t do it: it
will take nearly all of liis time, but
Mr. Campbell ought to keep his cam
naign promises and refuse to amend
the Act. unless a majority of the voters
ask him to amend it. and this i s what
Mr. Campbell proposes to do.
Resentfully.

Recently the Cutris Publishing Co.,

paid her promptly. This is a distinct
compliment to .Miss Adams and should
encourage others to try their hands at
authorship.

they are in any section of the state..
Mr. Tom Kinnerly of near Wood

tiful to look upon. It is beginning to
tass! P and every stalk looks rich and
healthy. Mr. Kinnerly has calculated
that if each stalk produces one car the

see the corn say this a very conserva¬

Mr. .T. O Adams of Dixi,, has just

VS ■£ OF GEORGIA. WILL MAKE
VI E A GOOD MAN
Atlanta. Cu.,- lion. Clifford Walker,
Georgia's new Attorney General, and
mo of the most striking Mate house
igures under the new administration,
n discussing the trip he made around
■ in' state in tlie course of his campaign
said:
"4 he most significant impression
made on my mind was tlie real great¬
ness of Georgia. I had been over the
tate before more than the average non
traveling man; 1 had heard speakers
rate and had read articles galore on
ieorgia’s wonderful soil, climate and
resources, and her greater glory, her
te eiidid jieople, hut I found that 1 ha,;
ao conception of her real strength.
"In almost every community 1 found
men who coukl successfully run the
state as governor or commoiul an army
n war. Consider all these hundreds,
together with the thousands of other
strong men of character and ability
■hough less fortunate in opportunities,
and you run realize some slight con<>ep
lion of Georgia's true greatness.
"And unless.you have made it a spe¬
cial study you will be surprised at the
erritorial greatness of the state*. You
iiv,. been told that Georgai is the lar
est state east of the Mississippi, but
bis generally gives little conception of
!ts proportions.

MAKING CHANGES AT
EMORY UNIVERSITY
BELIEVED THAT CHANGES WILL
PROVE PROFITABLE AND THAT
THERE WILL BE A GOOD ATTEN
DANCE HERE THIS FALL.
Announcement is made of important
changes in connection with Emory Uni¬ I
versity at Oxford, and the establisli- j
meiit m connection with it of the Em¬
ory University Academy at that place. !
The popularity of the aeadem, js ev¬
idenced by tlie number of applications
for admission already i cccived by the
head master. Prof. R. C. Mizell. The j
University authorities have resolved
not to crowd the dormitories or the
academy and consequently on account
of limited space only a hundred more i
applications for admission can possi
.hly be considered. ;
Those in close touch with educational
affairs believe more firmly than ever
that the new academy will meet a :
widespread demand in the south for in. j
sfifutions offering the best prepara¬ 1
tory courses for students expecting
to enter college. |
In response to many inquiries the un
fversify authorities have authorized
th,> follow big statement;
"The establishment of the academy
abolishes the sub freshman department
•if Oxford, and overs courses of study
framed with direct reference to sub¬
sequent collegiate work.
"The faculty of th,. academy consists
of four experienced iu truetqrs. Tlie
school will Le conducted under its own
government apart from the college and
all non resident students will lie rquir.
ed to lodge in Haygood Hall, a com
modins new dormitory. Tn order that
the students may have an instruct''’ 1
item easy reach at all times, three
members of the faculty also will have
rooms in Ha' good bald.
“Among special advantages, the col¬
lege library, gymnasium, etc., will be
open for the free use of students of
the academy, the same as students in
the college of liberal arts.”
