Several Influential mem bers a'e known to t»e decidedly In fa vor of another popular plurality pri mary. notwithstanding the fact that such a pritnai y does not appear to b<- wfdeiy or generally approved. The demand for a county unit pel-, mary is easily three to one as against a popular plurality primary The country counties the so-called "two vote” counties are solidly forth" county unit plan. The only oppnwiJion particularly noticeable comes from same candidates for Judgehips and softoitorships, who maintain that, so far as those offices are concerned, the , popular plurality Idea should prevail. It is dpubtful whether the pressure will tv- suffiielent to exempt them from the general order of things, however. Date Is of Unusual , Interest, The acute interest in the primary has to do with tlv date upon whic h it will be called. Under the law. It can not be called more than sixty days before the gen eral election.’ which takes place this year />n Octobei 2 It may bo called, however, under that law, as near the date oc the general election as the stat? committee, in Its wisdom, may decide to be best for party welfare even so late as a week before, as t mat ter of fart The general rule In Georgia has been to call the primary approximately sixty days before the general election, but already it is assured that a wide de parture front that custom will be made in this year's call The primary will hardly be called for a date more than thirty days ahead of the general elec tion. and it may be touch less than that. Guessing ranges all the way from August 15 Io September 20. Only today's session will answer the riddle. The idea appears to prevail that the committee will incline to call the pri mary as late as it possibly may. not to subject itself to undue criticism or harges of rank favoritism or par tiality to any andidate now In the running or scheduled to be. It is. frankly admitted that the pres ent commltte is a Hoke Smith com mittee. and it Is expected to frame • uch a primary as the Smith faction would prefer and that would help, to the extent it might, the campaign of , the Smith faction's candidate for the ; governorship. If it is to have one It was known long ago that the commit- 1 tee would not meet to call a primary 1 until after the Baltimore convention had acted. Had the Baltimore pow wow produced another candidate’ than Wilson there likely would have been . no Smith faction candidate' for the 1 governorship in the race this year. As t it is. there probably will be. Committee Faces Stiff Problem.

These reasons will be equally conclusive to piano buyers that they can not afford to buy a piano except from an absolutely one-price, no commission house. Because We Have But One Price Because It Is Unjust to the Public Wo carry our one-price selling plan the full length of agreeing to The right and honorable way to do business is to make a price on forfeit SIOO.OO for every piano sale accepted by the management what one has to sell, and get the business or not get. it at this at any price lower or higher than this one plainly marked price. price.

IV Wilson, of Gwinnett county, is not only one of the patriarchs of the house of represen tatives. but one of the readiest little Jokers. It is a rare occasion indeed that does not find the gentleman f om Gwinnett coming to bat with his Joke. Urging a bill for the Australian ballot and offering more or less humorous amendments to other members’ bills form the principal occupation of the venerable legislator. • The house was having a three-cor nered debate over the bill against buy ing and selling seed cotton, a measure designed to prevent i.egroes and others from picking another man's field clean of the staple and disposing of it to an unscrupulous dealer. Another mem ber offered an amendment to require all parties purchasing seed, cotton to keep a record of every purchase with the name of the seller. The debate dragged on amid the yawns of the un interested house, when Mr. Wilson rose and offered a second amendment. The clerk read it. as follows: "Be it further enacted, that every miller who grinds corn for blind tige: s must keep a record of such tigers, with addresses and price schedules, for the information of the public.” Then somebody called the previous question.

Dr. Graham Taylor, the noted Chi cago sociologist, has said that ther f [ nothing like a woman's intuition tor going directly to the point by the short est cut possible. Mr. Taylor that there is something almost uncan ny about the high average of correct ness in the apparent guesswork of womankind, and perhaps various men who have tried to deceive their wivr? agree with him. The last of just the quality that thP student notes in woman is what ha« long blocked the progress of giving to the public a compact, eommonsense reference work that would place the hi; tory of the world’s great events upon any one’s desk without occupying a space greater than an ordinary novel would take up. That is the Standard Atlas and Chronological History of the World, which The Georgian is offering to its readers. Graham Taylor was crossing on a New York ferry boat and received one of his first impressions of womanly di rectness when his mother cried out that her pocketbook had been stolen, and. pointing directly to the man w'ho stood next to her. cried: “That man took it.” Her son feared a scene, as he claimed that no man would have dared accuse another without evidence: but, much to his surprise, the man proved to be the guilty party. in the past experts in compiling knowledge have lacked the ability tc "pack” it in a volume so that not an inch of space is lost and the possessor of the book can place his finger on. a fact like Mrs. Taylor did on the pickpocket without a moment's delay But the publishers of this Atlas have accomplished this task, and it is the book you can not afford to he with out.
