TUK VI L A N T A GEORGIAN AM) NEWS,
Slade Will Attempt to Have Leg
islature Repeal Statute Per-
.V ng Bayonet Rule.
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.
An effort will be made In the next
Legislature to repeal that aeetlon of
the State military law which now
puts a community In time of riot In
the hand* of the military authorities,
to the exclusion of the Civil Govern
ment.
It is by no mean# sure that the ef
fort will be successful, for the present
military establishment has many
waiun supporters throughout the
State, but it will be backed aarnw-
slrely, nswarthelesa.
Representative Slkde of Muscogee,
already ha* prepared a measure
which be thinks will restore the old
erdsr of thing* In time of riot, and
yet leave In large proportion undis
turbed the other military regulations
enacted by the last General Aasem-
hl
In a recent Interview, Mr. Slade
Is quoted as saying, "I am not In
favor of licensing ’tin horn’ soldiers
to Shoot down Innocent people In time
bf trouble, and then allowing a mili
tary court-martial to sit on the case
and aay whether murder has been
committed! ”
This statement refers to recent dis
turbance* in Augusta where, as an
Incident to the military control of
the city In time of riot, several per
sons were killed by the soldiers on
duly. The soldiers doing the shoot
ing were subsequently tried by court-
martial and acquitted.
It has been very well known for
some time that the military laws
were to be attacked in the next Leg
islature, but until the gentleman from
Muscogee spoke up and notified his
constituents at home that he Intend
ed fathering the measure, much un
certainty has existed as to who would
lead the way.
Mr. Slade 1s one of the few Legis
lative veterans who conies bach to
the House this year. He will Intro
duce Ills proposed anti-military bill
earjy in the session.
A bill will be Introduced 1n the next
House seeking to make the tax col
lector of Ware County ex-officlo
Sheriff of the county. In order that
he may proceed to the collection or
levying of tax executions without call
ing on the Sheriff for assistance.
This Innovation Is by no means
unheard of In Georgia, though as
several counties now operate undyr
that system. Wherever It has been
tried, moreover. It generally has been
found to be most satisfactory.
Representative-elect J. R Palmour,
of Hall, a new member of the Incom
ing Irfiglelature, 1r an Atlanta visitor.
Mr Palmour la a young man of
line bualneas reputation, and will en
ter the House as one of Its most
promising new- members. He Is ex
tremely modest in talking about the
things he expects to achieve, and
makes only one claim with aggres
sive emphasis. He says he undoubt
edly Is the “original Burwell man”
among the new membership, and con
fidently predicts the election of the
gentleman from Hancock to the
Speakership on the first ballot.
Some time ago, In cleaning up the
Bbokcase In the Mayor’s office in
Savannah, some valuable reports of
the City of Sam Francisco were
brought to light, and were found to
concern 1n detail eighteen years ot
the city’s history prior to 1918. They
are of comparatively little value to
Savannah, but the thought suggested
Itaelf to the Mayor that perhaps they
might be of considerable value to the
municipal Government of San Fran
cisco. as doubtless many of the rec
ords of that city were destroyed In
the great earthquake and fire.
A letter received by Mayor Rich
ard J. Davantt from Mayor James
Ralph, of San Francisco, has confirm
ed this impression. The Mayor of
San Francisco expresses his gratifica
tion of the offer of the old reports,
stating that of some of them there
are known to be but one or (wo
copies in existence, and that they
would be highly appreciated.
The reports will accordingly be at
ance boxed and shipped to the metrop
olis of the Western State. m
James Callaway, in the Macon Tel
egraph. writes as follows: "Windpr
Is located, like Metter, at the ’cor
ners’ of counties. Hence, Winder
wants a new county, and to call It
Barrow, to be taken from the corners
of Walton, Gwinnett and Jackson.
Winder is many miles from the coun
ty seats of all three of the counties.
This is a day of progress and con
venience. The Legislature will con
sider kindly these moves for devel
opment”
Both the proposed new counties of
Barrow and Candler seems, at this
stage of the game, to he viewed with
favorable eye by such members of
the Incoming Legislature as visit At
lanta nowadays.

TEN REASONS WHY YOU
SHOULD JOIN MY BIG CLUB
A 25c Rebate on All Weekly Payments Made Before Due
Qailinrr nf ^1 R1 R H you bou £ bt this Club Player-Piano in the
udVIllg Ul 0 I 0 I iJU open market, you would pay $650.00 for it.
By my Gigantic Club Plan of 400 members co-operating together, I
am able to offer this Player at $488.50. But this is only the first sav
ing.
finn Ypor’o Trial If I were not interested in the club members,
Ullu ludl 0 11 id I i could unload a cheap player and then try
and forget it. That is not the Weatherholt way of doing business.
Try it a year. Then, if you want something else, you may exchange
it and get credit for amount paid.
Ton-Yoar Pliarantoo There are l° ts °f Player-Pianos I could sell
lull ludl Ulidldllluuf or considerably less money and make
more profit. But I wouldn’t guarantee them for ten days, to say
nothing of ten years. I KNOW the Weatherholt Club Player and
the people who have been making it for years. That’s why I
GUARANTEE IT FOR TEN YEARS.
I know that if those who purchase my
Club Players live, they will pay fofr them.
I want their families to have them in case of death. So I guaran
tee that every purchaser will live to pay for it. If he dies, I will
give a receipt in full to his beneficiaries. ,
These terms are
cheaper than rent
ing an ordinary Player. Why rent an inferior Player when you
can OWN a high-class one for less money? These terms place the
Weatherholt Club Player Piano WITHIN THE REACH OF EV
ERYBODY. There is no excuse for not having a Player-Piano now.
Monthly payments can be arranged.
Two-Year Conservatory Course
Under this feature the cost of the Player may be reduced almost
$50 more. I want to make the Club Plan as attractive as possible,
and so I added this feature to encourage those who should be re
warded for promptness.
Nfi IntPrPQt ^ n ^ y tbose wbo bave ba< * ex P er i ence w i tb paying in-
llU llllul uul terest on deferred payments can appreciate this fea
ture. The last payment is no more than the first under my plan.
When interest is charged the last payment is a third more. In
other words, I save each member $78 on each Player.
For those who do not play
the ordinary piano, but
who want to learn, I have added this feature. I have arranged with
a successful conservatory for these scholarships. The regular price
is $80. Inasmuch as the Club Player is a Piano and Player-Piano
combined, many like to understand music.
Free Music Exchange Library £££.“"„£ *LTt
means that I give each Club Member $10.50 worth of music every
day. I give 12 rolls of music worth that With each Player free.
Then these may be exchanged every day if desired for other music in
my 5,000-roll library.
Selected Bench to Match Player and 12 Rolls of Music
This feature amounts to $15. The benches cost $4.50 each, and the
12 rolls of music are worth $10.50. What good is a Player-Piano
without a bench or music? I want each Club Member to get the
Player fully equipped.
