J THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN VXD NEWS. Candler Argues Its Existence Is Necessary to Benefit Pros perous Town of Wetter. HFoi p*3pu t By JAMES B. NEViN. The proposed Dounty <»f <’arvil*r is to petition the incoming Legisla ture for creation along new lines, and with an argument not onl> novel but perhaps winning. Candler County i* to u.«k for ex- - istence a a a powerful argument in favor of good roads. It will seek to prove its rigid to creation 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 adver t'. ] Charts of (irorgia in whfth are to be! I found highly prosperous towns, from j a business point of view, that yet I ) are hampered mightily by reason of r their remoteness from their County seats and the consequent improba bility of very active good roads work in their viciniti.es. In some of these places, It s | claimed, road taxes in remote neigh borhoods are applied exclusively t > J good roads work near tin? count.’ j seat, and that brings about not only j much dissatisfaction, but positiv discontent. Metter. 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. If Candler County is created, it is contended that, with Metter as the County swat. good roads construction will radiate from Metter throughout the neighboring territory and that there will not be a farm in the new county not soon connected with the I County seat by ample and gufficUnt , roads. There is great enthusiasm among the people about Metter in favor of the new county, and very little opp »- sitlon from the people of tlie coun- ptJes from which it is to he taken. Candler generally is regarded as a good new county proposition, too. and Tt should surprise no one, therefor*. •Jo see the new Legislature put the “seal of its approval upon it. It would be located in one of the fagicheet and most promising sections -wf the entire State. Disquieting news comes from tlie -bedside of Representative-elect Sam- „wel E. Berry, of Whitfield. pf* He recently was stricken with an /Route valvular heart trouble, and has fceen in critical condition since, w ; li l/the chances of recovery hardly even. time, he seemed to get better, of late has not improved.

Indie i- 1 lions are that there may lie savera. aspirants for the place. tfcjy The club wants a white primary lew to govern city elections. Xotic * l .Jf the fact that such a bill will l*» 1jntreduced at the coming session has Mpeen advertised in tlie newspapers e- |. well as posted on the bulletin board •t at the Court House.
