THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS,
Candler Argues' Its Existence
Necessary to Benefit Pros
perous Town of.Metter.
By JAMES B. NEVIN,
Thf* proposed County of Candler
is to petition the Incoming Legisla
ture for crcafion along new lines,
and with an argument not only novel,
but perhaps winning.
f'andler County 1s to ask for ex
istence as a powerful argument in
favor of good roads.
It will seek to prove its right to
creation as an absolute good roads
necesvsity—that, of course, along with
other reasons likely to appeal to in
telligent legislative consideration.
It is a fact that there are several
parts of Georgia in which are to be
found highly prosperous towns, from
a business point of view, that yet
are hampered mightily by reason, of
their remoteness from their County
seats and the consequent improba
bility of very active good roads work
in their vicinities.
In some of these places, It Is
claimed, road taxes in remote neigh
borhoods are applied exclusively to
good roads work near the county
seat, and that brings about not only
much dissatisfaction, but positiv
discontent.
Matter, a prosperous and hustling
town of South Georgia, is an exam
ple of this, and 1t is about Mette-
that the proposed new county of
Candler is to be framed
If Candler County is created, it is
contended that, with Metier as the
County seat, good roads construction
will radiate from Metier throughout
the neighboring territory, and that
there will not be a farm in the new
county not soon connected with the

There is great enthusiasm among
the people about Met ter in favor of
the new county, and very little oppo
sition from the people of the coun
ties from which it is to be taken.
Candler generally is regarded as i,
good new county proposition, too. and
it should surprise no one, therefore,
to see the new Legislature put the
seal of its approval upon it.
It would he located in one of the
richest and most promising sections
of tiie entire State.
Disquieting news comes from the
bedside of Representative-elect Sam
uel E. Berry, of Whitfield.
He recently was stricken with an
acute valvular heart trouble, and has
been in critical condition Since, with
The chances of recovery hardly even.
Eor a time, he seemed to get better,
but of late has not improved.
Mr. Berry has represented Whit
field several times In the Legislature,
and is looked upon as a particularly
valuable member.

of Savannah proposes taking a hand
in the. election of a representative to

There are certain measures whi *b j

it is probable that the club will either)
put out a candidate of its own or

tions are that there may be several

A well meaning member-elect of
. 1 b*‘ Legislature soon to assemble in
1 Georgia lias announced h«s intention
of Introducing early in the session a
resolution providing for night ses
sions
[His motive is worthy enough, is
he says it is to prevent congestion
a.t the end of the session* and con
gestion, always is there, right on the
.lob!
Notwithstanding t tie eminent re-
speciabUity of his intent, though, the
impression generally will be that !c*
is destined to disappointment. The
legislature has had that proposition
submitted to it by people who ear
nestly desired to get the work hur
ried along, but it never got anywhere.
The Legislature simply will not sit
more than two or three hours a day
in its earlier proceedings, and the
incoming Legislature is not likely ;o
be very different from its predeces
sors.
• The better wav to conserve legis
lative time, perhaps, is to find soma
method whereby local legislation may
be disposed of more readily than now.

In discussing the work as a whole.
