'V t * — ; THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. GDUITT SEEKS' 1 CREATION TO Candler Argues Its Existence Is. Necessary to Benefit Pros perous Town of Wetter, By JAMES B NEVIN. The proposed Uount> of Candl r is to petition the incoming Legisla ture for creation along new lines, and with an argument not onl,\ novel, hut perhaps winning. * Candler County is to ask for ex-I istenee as a powerful argument In' favor of good mads. It will seek to prove its right to! creation as an absolute good roads necessity—that, of course, along with other reasons likeJy to appeal to in - J telllgent legislative consideration. It is a fact that thne are several! parts of Georgia in which are to I o j found highly prosperous towns, from a business point of view, that yet fare 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. 9 In some of these places, it s claimed, road taxes in remote neigh borhoods are applied exclusively to good roads work near the count: seat, and that brings about not onl;* much dissatisfaction, but positlv discontent. Metter, a prosperous and hustling town of South Georgia, is an exam ple of this, and it Is about Mottc" that the proposed new county of Candler is to be framed. If Candler Countv is created, it Is contended that, with Metter as the County eeat. good roads construction will radiate from Metter throughout the neighboring territory, and that there will not be a farm in the nev. 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 peonle 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*?, to see the new Legislature put the seal of its approval upon it. It would be located In one of the richest and most promising sections of the entire State. * Disquieting news comes from the bedside of Representative-elect Sam uel K. 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. “i-Mr. Berry has represented Whit-j field several times in the* Legislature, and Is looked upon as a particularly , valuable member. The Young Men’s Democratic Club of Savannah proposes taking a hatnl in the election of a representative to jfbeceed Mr. Stovall, resigned „ > There are certain measures which this organisation desires passed, and i it is probable that the club will either | |*ut out a candidate of its own or undertake to pledge some other can- < didate to support its hills. Indiec- | lions are that there may he sever.i aspirants fur the place. The club wants a white primary law in govern city elections. Notn of the fact that such a bill will b i Introduced at the coming session has | be*n advertised in the newspapers ;*s well a» posted on the bulletin board at the Court House The need of such a law was im pressed upon the leaders of the club J at the January city election, when hundreds of negroes w ere bought. It 4 was c harged that both factions I cooped up the colored voter* in halls, and held them overnight, voting them in batches of four or five, prac tically under guard Under a white prlmarv election law this 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. ?* A well meaning member-elect of the Legislature soon to assemble in Georgia has announced his intention of introducing earlv in the session a resolution providing for night ses sion a His motive is worthy enough, is he says it is to prevent congestion at the end of the session and con gestion always is there, right on the Job I Notwithstanding the eminent re spectability of his intent, though, the impression generallv will be that ir is destined to disappointment. The Legislature has had that proposition submitted to it by people who ear- | neatly desired to get the work hue- I ried along, but it neve got an.vwher. I The Legislature simplv will not ^ii more than two or three hours a da> in its* earlier proceedings, and ihe | Incoming Legislature i& not likely to be very different from its predeces sors. The better wav to conserve legis lative time, perhaps, is to find som 1 method whereby local legislation may i be disposed of more readily than now. •‘Whitfield County stands far allow the average in the manner in which I 1t handles its convicts.” said Chair man Davidson.- of the Prison Com- ! mission, who returned from a ton of inspection of that County Tue.s-| day In discussing the work as a vvho>, Mr. Davidson said some of the coun ties arc wasting their efforts and money under the mistaken idea th.t “the best warden is the one who can be secured for the least salary." The majority of counties, the chai man added, are working their con victs at a profit. A bill will be ^introduced in the j Legislature seeking to abolish h ; City Court of Floyd County. It will be provided in the bill, ' though, that the court shall not be abolished until the expiration of tin* term of the present judge. John C. ’ Ree< e.
