Thai Jamea O. Woodward will be a
candidate In the mayor's race next year
now seem* a foregone conclusion.
“Unless there la a great change In
the trend of the people'* eentlmenl."
Mated Colonel Woodward Friday morn-,
Ing, "I don't aoe how I can keep out of
the race. They want me to run. Many
of them toll me I must run. How can I
keep out!"
It Is not onlr this, according to Col
nnel Woodward, thnt Is urging him to
make the race.
"I am not accustomed to taking nny
such n slap from the politicians a* they
aimed at me when they had this second
primary plan adopted.” he stated.
"They hit at me. an3 everybody
knows It, but' they did not hit me nnd
everybody Is going to know that. Why
should thl* majority plan affect me? I
have been elected to office alx times In
Atlanta, twice aa ntayqr, three times as
alderman anti once ns councilman. Five
of the six limes 1 received a majority
of the votes cast. Only once was I
elecled without receiving more than
half of the votes and that was the last
time os mayor, when five men were In
the race.
Won’t Need Second Race.
“I'll tell you this, too. If things go
on as they are now there won't be* any
second primary next year. I honestly
believe that enough people have prom
ised me their votes already to make me
one of the two candidates In the run
off. I have had three nr four hundred
people to tell me they would support me
next time, wherea* they had opposed
me before.
Some of these politicians say thla
second-primary plan was not aimed at
me. Why. then, should they ask the
legislature to puss the law so that It
would affect only one city In the Mate
and that Atlanta, und should not even
affect Fulton county? Why, there are
six or eight candidates In the race for
the legislature already and none of
them will need to have a majority to
get elected.
"Instead of keeping me out of tho
race, ns was Intended, thla kind of leg
islation tends to make me run, and It
makes me friends, too."
Unless something mighty unexpected
drops "Jim" Woodward la ns certnln to
be In that mayor's race aa It Is certain
that there will be a race. Ills own
words and the "dope" Indicate this
thoroughly enough. « -

The board of education about two

work han been done for education by
K. W. Child*, former county school
c nmmholoner, and Walter McMIchael.
the present county school com ml#* Jon-
e*. Is continuing the work with great
success. As a natural consequence, the
people have given great attention to
».helr county sahool buildings. They
have adopted a policy of consolidating
their county schools and In a number
of instances use wagons tor the tran#-
portatlon of the children.
In many of the schools there have
been added gardens and by their use
nature study and primary ngrlculture

tion to speak here today at the rally,
end he was warmly received. Through
out his speech he mads no political ref

nnd administration apply to the educa
tion of the boys and ihrls of the state.
Among other thlngu he said:
”1 must congratulate you upon what
you have done for the children of your
county. I wish the -people of every
county In the state could understand
your work. You have levied u local
tax to supplement the state tax and you
have extended the terms of your
schools *0 that In your rural schools
practically the same advantages are
given which are found In the city
schools. You have accomplished this
through boards of «»ducatlon, the mem

have been an Inspiration to the people.
You have erected school houses all ovei
your county that are an honor and a

moves on with material growth In re

given to the culture of tho minds and
