Mr. Brantley. Will Be Can
didate For Re-
Election
Sv
Congressman Brantley returned to
Kshington, D. C-, yesterday when
the committee of which he is vice
chairman, resumes consideration of
Its reports on the workmens' liability
resolution, in an effort to, if possible,
{hake report to the next Congress
session.
This is a most ardeous work, and
requires a profound knowledge of
law, constitutional and statuary, and
it was a most fitting tribute to Mr.
Brantley's ability and standing as a
lawyer when he was appointed on
this committee; and as ho is attend
ing to the duties incident to this con
nection it is requiring so much study
work and research that it occupies all
pi his time to the exclusion of visiting
or calling on his friends; but the
Important work ot establishing a
standard of liabilty strictly within
the law is so very great that Mr.
Brantley is to he commended for his
effort in this direction.
It is generally known among Mr.
Brantley's friends that ho will again
make the rac^ for Congress, and in
deed the district cannot afford to let
him do otherwise. v Iiis rank anti In
fluence in Congress Is such that' we
could not permit him to retire if he
should so elect.
It is generally understood that
there will be no opposition to Mr.
Brantley and that he will have a
walk-over.
This is as it should be. He deserv-J
es it and the district deserves hisj
services. V |
Congressman Edwards, who will!
also be a candidate to succeed him
self, was in the city yesterday, and
we trust he also will have no oppo
sition, for he has made a fine record.
RECORD FOR
SALE OF LOTS
COMPANY IS ACTIVE
Two Mile Avenue Sold Out
On Both Sides By River
side Park Company
Riverside Park lots are being aold
in record time these days and as a
result the company controlling the'
property has^made a record that will
stand for years. Riverside avenue,
nearly two miles long, has been "sold
<{ut." That is, lots on either side
have been purchased and taking in
few blocks before the avenue la
reached two jplles of purchased lots
are recorded.
The activity in Riverside Park Is
not confined to the one avenue by
any means. Blacksl\ear, Toomer and
Darling avenues all show up with a
lots unsold. Waring street Is
nearly all sold, as are many others in
the park.
The distribution of the sales is gen
eral and shows that no matter what
part of Riverside Park investors pur
chase, they get desirable property.
The Riverside Company is managed
by A. M. Knight and he Is confident
that the next few months will show
an even greater activity in sales.
Many purchasers have signified their
intention of building and before long
the activity in sales will have a Close
second in the carpenter’s activity in
Riverside.
