4 as 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.
