MRS. D. M. BYRD WILL ATTEND
WESLEYAN ALUMNAE MEETING
Macon, Ga., January 31. —Mrs.
Daniel M. Byrd, of Lawrenceville,
has been selected to represent Gwin
nett county at an important meeting
of trustees and alumnae representa
tives of Wesleyan College at the
Hotel Dempeey here on February 16,
at which time plans for carrying out
the million dollar “Greater Wesley
an” campaign will be acted upon.
Each county in the state in which
there is a group of alumnae is ex-,
pected to be represented at the con
ference, whicn has been called by
Orville A. Park, of Macon, chairman
■of the executive committee of the
board of trustees and national chair
man of the campaign organization.
The object of the campaign is to
provide funds for the new buildings
so urgently needed by the college to
care for its present and future needs.
Part of the money will also be ap J
plied to permanent endowment. A
site of 132 acres admirably suited for
a college campus has already been
acquired.
Wesleyan, although the oldest col
lege for fomen in the world, and
ranked as one of the leading institu
tions in its field, has for several years
been handicapped by the inadequacy
of its present plant on College Hill.
Three hundred applicants for admis
sion had to be turned away this year!
because it was physically impossible
to care 4or them.
Ludlow and Peabody, New York ar
chitects, have prepared plans for the
new group of buildings. When these
are completed, Wesleyan will have on
its new campus one of the most beau
tiful, efficient and modern plants of
any college in the country. It is
planned to retain the old campus and
buildings to house the conservatory
of music.
Wesleyan College is under the
control of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South. No sectarian test is
applied either to students or faculty,
however. The college was chartered
by the Georgia state legislature in
1836.
GASOLINE PRICE JUMP
# IS BRANDED OUTRAGE
Atlanta, Ga., January 31. —A third
increase of 2 cents a gallon for gaso
line in Atlanta within a period of two
weeks, effective Wednesday, was
characterized as “an unwarranted
outrage” by Attorney General George
M. Napier. The three rapid raises
have advanced the price from 18
to 24 cents.
“Increases in the cost of crude oil
are not sufficient to warrant such
jumps in the price of gasoline, and
indications are that the boosts are
arbitrary on the part of the refiners,”
Mr. Napier said. “The prices seem
to be made at the will of the refin
ers, and the way in which all other
companies follow in the steps pf the
initial mover would indicate a close
association in the conduct of the gas
oline business, at least.”
The attorney general has received
one letter stating that crude oil cost
more When gasoline sold for 10 cents
a gallon than it did when gas was 86
cents last April.
J. H. Cook, assistant district man
ager of the Standard Oil Company;
announced the new boost in the prieq
«**••• H* as a- reason thf
advened in the price at refineries.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Having been solicited by fnany
good citizens from every section of

county commissioner, I hereby an ;
nounce my candidacy for said office
at the primary election, and should

charge all duties of the office.
Here are a few items that I am
not in favor of, and sohie that I am:
I don’t believe in a county com
missioner being clerk of board of
commisioners.
I am not in favor of convicts
staying in winter quarters the year
round, and being transported to
their work in trucks.
Am not in favor of the county be
ing cut in three departments, for
there is more or less friction with
board of commissioners.
Believe in the tax payers knowing
twice a year by an itemized state
ment through the papers where their
money has been spent.
In favor of all road taxes being
spent in the district where it was
collected.
Under the system that Gwinnett
county has been run for several
years, I can’t see why a man can’t
save the county at least $3,000 per
year.

of service possible and with no spe
cial favors to anyone. It will be my
aim to spend the county’s money as
economically as possible with the
idea of reducing expenses wherever
possible in order that the county tax
rate may be reduced.

for many years, the writters claiming
that large properties in this city are
awaiting the discovery of heirs. The
reports that such estates exist are
