From here we drove into Lavonia for supper, entertainment and re freshments by the good people of Lavonia at the hotel. After a few hours rest we assembled at the audi torium at 10 o'clock Wednesday for business and at noon Lavonia did herself great as host at a barbecue and arranging for us to have the great pleasure of having an interest ing speech by Judge Marcus W. Beck Then the afternoon session of the Convention, election of officers and place of meeting. Hon. C. B|. Rountree of Wrigh's ville was elected president and he will wield the gavel in Waycrioss, Ga. in 1924. . On Thursday morning at 8:03 the party left on special cars for Corne lia, amid cheers and good bys from the genial hosts of Lavonians, they being so happy at having them that they ‘requested Bro. Barton to bid for the Convention in 1924. At: Cornelia the Georgia Railway and Power Company met the party with six pulman cars and special train, carrying them to Lakemont where they gave uis a fish fry and driving agreat number around the lake while others went boating, from there the special train returned them to the Falls where a banquet was held, a speech being made by Pres ident Atkinron of the Georgia Rail way and Power Company, who de- dared tliat they would be satisfied with their efforts at development only when they had carded these developments' to the extent whersdßP o vc-vy hamlet in Georgia could have conveniences from this wonderful power development / They are now cutting a tunnel through the moun tain from Lakemont to Tallulah Lake a distance of one m ; le, the dam and power units at Falls already having cost approximately fifteen million dollars. From the falls we were driven in cat's to Tugalo dam where 2000 workmen are now en gaged in building a dam at an esti mated cost of between five and six million dollars, two miles below which preparations arc being made for the erection of a noth ch dam. This work being carried on by the Georgia Railwav and Power Ci. is isdeed the great winder of the Soutn, being of so much value to Georgia that her people are ]toud of this enormous power development. This indeed was a great Conven tion in everv way and was made so by the happy manner in which I.avo nianx received their guests, starting them off in the right wav. The ad dress bv the Governor outlining some of the great things the state expects to accomplish, the beautiful talk by Mfy. Corra Harris, were ele vating and instructive. Jack Mc- Cartney, Pat McCutcheon, Walter Coleman, C. M. Greene, W.i T. Bacon, Louie Morris, Johny Howell, Fleming, Flanders, old Charlie Roun tree, Ernest Camp are only a few of the great of the Conven tion! W. G. Sntlive who has so endeared himself to all the Conven tion as president of the Association, was voted a gift by them at a cost of $50.00 to be selected by a com mittee and I believe now we should begin to save something for that genial hardworking Hal Stanley to have something, whiie Cl.as. Bears must he remembered materially but they have the love and esteem of the Convention. Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Moseley.

WHITWORTH House of Representatives Atlanta. Georgia. To The Comer News and Danielsville Monitor: Gentlemen: The Honorable Body of ! Grand Jurors of the March Term ol Madison Superior Court recommend ed that I, as representative of lv son County, introduce a bill in the General Assembly, to consolidate the offices of tax receiver and tax collec tor into one and the same office, and that the ialary be fixed to be the sam as that now received by the Tax Collector. Understanding that the meaning of this request applies only to Mad ison countv, I find after investigat ing that such a bill would be uncon stitutional. I refer you to the Con stitution of the State, Article 11, Section 3, Paragraph 1 . Also Act approved August 14, 1914, Page 42. There is a biil now pending before i the House which proposes to amend : the foregoing section of the State Constitution and, as amended in 1914 to consolidate these two offices and also to put any or all county officers upon a salary, by action of General ! Assembly, whenever o county choos es to do so. I do not know what the outcome of this bill will be. If it passes at the present Session of the Legisla ture, it will have to be ratified by the people at the next general election which will not be held until next fall year, or November 1924. Any further suggestion you o’- any citizen of my county may wish to make to me as your servant, I ; assure you I will appreciate. Respectfully yours, G. P. Whitworth C OUNTY S. S. CONVENTION | ; The Mt. Herman Presbyterian church at 11a lias invited the annual County Sunday School Convention for all denominations to meet with them on Wednesday, August loth, according to an announcement made ly the officers of the Madison Coun ty Sunday School Association. Tie hospitality of these people is well known and doubtless the Sunday ■Schoo' people thorn every section of : the county will attend in large num bers. The convention will be an all day affair, it is understood, and din ner will be se.ved on the grounds at the noon hour in picnic style. The State Sunday School Associ ation is offering two banners: one to the school with the largest number of delegates present in proportion to the distance traveled; and another to the School having the largest number ot its officers and teachers present in proportion to the distance traveled, provided 75 per cent of them are in attendance. This will, no doubt, be a big incentive for most of the church es to work up a large attendance. The Sunday School superintend ents and the pastors are asked to take note of this and see that a fine attendance is worked bp from their Schools. w SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS MEETING j The Kings Daughte. s Class was very pleasantly entertained Thursday afternoon, July J9th, at the home of Mrs. A. L. Comer, i After the usual opening of prayer and scripture reading, the Bible Study Class was held with Mrs. Em ma Strickland as leader. Then Christ’s parables were told in a very interesting way by different ones of the members,. The next feature was a reading by Mrs. T. C. Davison in her usual clever way, “The Keeper of the Lights,” pointing the impor- I tance of patience and courage in spite ofi adversities). !, Delicious refreshment® were se.v -cl by Mrs. Lenoir and Mrs. Comer. Next meeting to be Aug. 24th with Mrs. Mack Gunteif. STH DISTRICT A & M. SCHOOL HAS FINE PROSPECT FOR A I LARGE ENROLLMENT FOR 1923-24 SESSION The A . & M . .School at Madison, Ga. has enrolled more students up to the present date than were en rolled at this time last year. A Do, the principal of the school has re ceived more inquiries from prospect ive students than usual.

We the £Jrand Jurors, selected, chosen and sworn to serve, this the July Term 1928, ask to make the following special presentments. We extend our thanks to the Honorable Judge, W. L. Hodges, for his able and efficient charge delivered to us, also our thanks to our Solicitor Gen eral, A. S. Skelton, for his counsel and assistance during this term; r.r.d id to our bailiff also, T. L. Hen ley, for his faithfulness and prompt ness rendered this body. We desire to call attention of proper officers to conditions existing in Court House and Jail; We find tho toilets in court Louse in verv unsanitary con :'ion; much of the plumbing seems ' be broken and disconnected. We recommend and insist that same Ire thoroughly overhauled and repaired or rebuilt and that al! toilets put in sanitary condition. We furthe* recommend that when same has beet* done officers in charge of such build ing shall use every means at hand to protect and preserve same from damage in tho future. Our special attentio has been call ed to Jail by the recent escape of al* piisonrs confined therein. ! We have deemed it wise to ex amine this Jail building in a body and while we do not consider the jail building modern or up to date and fully secure for the safe keeping of desperate criminals; We do not recommend anew building at this time, but a thorough and complete repairing of the old building. We suggest and recommend as ;m;t of this repair, That windows 1 e '°sed on inside with iron lattice shuttet's as close as State sanitary law will permit. We further recommend to officers in charge of jail and prisorn| a to use all caution and diligence in the holding and safe keeping of al! pris oners in his charge. Our investigation of recent Jail delivery convinces us that prisoners had assistance fiom outside but is not sufficient to fix blame upon any person or persons. \\ e recommend to our Commission er close and hearty co-operation with •State Highway Association and The federal Road Aid Board, that he may secure for our county our full pro portions of road funds We recommend that these proceed ings be published in Daniejsvillt Mon itor and Comer News and that same be paid from County funds.
