THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Candler Argues Its Existence Necessary to Benefit Pros perous Town of Wetter. By JAMES B. NEVIN. The proposed County nf Candler is to petition the incoming: Legisla ture for creation along new lines, and with an argument not only novel, but perhaps winning. Candler County is to ask for ex- fwtence as a powerful argument in favor of good roads. It will seek to prove its right to eweatton as an absolute good roads necessity—that, of course, along with other reasons likely to appeal to in telligent legislative consideration. It is a fact that there are several ifftrts of Georgia in which are to fee 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, .8 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. Met ter, a prosperous and hustling town of South (Georgia, is an exam ple of this, and it is about Mettc that the proposed new county of Candler is to be framed. Tf Candler County is created, it is contended that, with Met ter as the County seat, good roads construction will radiate from Metter throughout the neighboring territory, and that there will not be a farm in the n-*w county not soon connected with th< County seat by ample and sufficient roads. There is great enthusiasm among the people about Metter 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 a good new county proposition, too. and it should surprise no one, therefor- 1 , to see the new Legislature put the seal of Its approval upon It. Tt would be located in one of the richest and most promising sections of the entire Htate. WEDNESDAY MAY OUR CLUB PIANO Regular Price ......

A. All of which accompany in writing the sale of every Club IMauo. T HE membership books in the gigantic Weatherholt Player Piano Club of 400 opened this morning. Now is the time to enroll. So widespread is the interest^^^ which has been aroused in my sensational offer that I do ^ not believe it will be long before every one of the 400 member ships has been taken. This is the first time in the musical historj Disquieting news comes from ihe 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. For a time, he seemed to get better, but of late has not improved. Mr. Berry has i©presented Whit field several times in the Legislature, and Is looked upon as a particularly valuable member. GUARANTEE FOR TEN YEARS The Younfc Men’s Democratic Flub of Savannah proposes tuning a hand in the election of a representative to succeed Mr. Stovall, resigned. There are certain measures which this organization desires passed, and it is probable that the club will either put out a candidate of Its own or undertake to pledge some other can didate to support its hills. Indica tions are that there may be several aspirants for the place. The club wants a white primary law to govern city elections. Notice of the fact that such a bill will be introduced at th* coming session has been advertised In the newspapers "■‘I i* i -stevl on Hi*- bulletin board at the Court House. The need of such a law was im pressed upon the leaders of the club at the January city election, when hundreds of negroes were bought. It was charged that both faction s cooped up the colored voters* in halls, and held them overnight, voting them In batches of four or five, prac tically under guard. Under a white primary election law thiP would be eliminated, it is claimed, as in the campaign for County and State officers. The contest would be settled In the preliminary skirmish, in which the negro voter would have no part. Saving of $161.50 One year’s trial (exchange privilege) A ten year guarantee with each piano A Free Life Insurance Feature A well meaning member-elect of the Legislature soon to assemble in Georgia has announced his intention of introducing early in the session a taesolutlon providing for night ses sions. His rdotlve is worthy enough, as he say a it ts to prevent congestion at th# end of the session—and con gestion always is there, right on the Job! * Notwithstanding the eminent re spectability of his intent, though, the impression generally will be that hi ts 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, nut it never got anywhere. The Legislature simply will not sit more than two or three hours a <iwv in its earlier proceedings, and fhe incoming Legislature is not likely :o he very different from its predeces sors. The better way to conserve legis lative time, perhaps, is to find some method whereby local legislation may be disposed of more readily than now.

In discussing the work as a whole, Mr. Davidson said some of the coun ties are wasting their efforts atjd money under the mistaken idea that ‘The best warden is the one who can Jtv secured for the least salary. ’ The majority of counties, the chair man added, ate working their con victs at a profit. Addre A bill will be Introduced in the Legislature seeking to abolish the CUy Court of Floyd County It will be provided in the hill, though, that the court shall not he abolished until the expiration of the ierm of the present judge, John C. Reece. A further effort* will be made, so It has been stated, to make Floyd County a separate judicial cir< u ; within itself, and provide for four sittings of tlie court each year, in stead of two. as is the law now. The movement generally Is favor ed in Floyd, and will not be opposed In Walker and Chattooga, the oiln two counties composing the Rum.* ftJJiS/ilIt MtcuU. “SOUTH’S FOREMOST PIANO HOUSE” Southern Distributors Henry F.
