Garling- ton, of Richmond, evidently proposes to be the William J. Harris of the Incoming' Legislature, In one respect, at least. He probably will introduce more bills than anybody else, and out of the lot he likely will get a good ly number onto-the statute books. That is the general impression, anyway, since a list has been given out of those bills the gentleman from Richmond will propose imme diately upon the assembling of the Legislature. Just as soon as the representative from Richmond can catch the new Speaker’s eye, he will send to the clerk’s desk for a first reading the following: A bill to establish a board of tax equalizers. A bill to provide for the destruc tion of pistols, dirks and bowie knives taken from prisoners under arrest. A bill to require all executions against real estate to be recorded in the county where the real estate lies. A bill to permit a deed of a cor poration, attested by a notary who is a shareholder in the corporation, to be valid, nevertheless. A bill granting appeals from mu nicipal tax assessors. . A bill fixing the standard weight of a barrel of lime or cement. A bill to prescribe the manner of motions for new trials. A bill to regulate the practice of medicine in Georgia. A bill to amend the election laws with reference to contested elec tions. A bill to prohibit the issuing of worthless bank checks. A bill providing the Australian bal lot in certain circumstances. Mr. Garlington also has seven or eleven other bills up his ample sleeves, the nature of which have not yet been disclosed. However, he feels reasonably sure the foregoing will hold the Legisla ture' for a while. It is probable that an election will be held to fill the vacancy in the Georgia Legislature created by the recent resignation of Pleasant A. Stovall, of Savannah, on or about June 22. Judge Henry McAlpin, of the court of the Ordinary of Chat ham County, has been authorized by Governor Brown to hold an election. The Court of Ordinary is now in recess, but will meet Monday, which is June 2. It is necessary under the law to give twenty days notice of the election. It is therefore thought that Judge McAlpin will set the date of me election for June 22, which will allow time for the newly elected member of the House to qualify. The Legislature meets June 25. Talk of a probable successor to Colonel Stovall is rife. There have been no positive announcements, but the friends of some of those men tioned as candidates, are working for them. The sentiment for a business man in the Legislature appears to be growing, although no candidate has come out on that platform. It is expected that the Young Men’s Democratic Club will have a man in the race. Those most prominently mentioned as possible candidates are: J. J. Bouhan, David S. Atkinson, J. W. 3enton, Herman Shuptrine and E. H. Abrahams. James D. Price, of Oconee Coun ty, Commissioner of Agriculture-elect Is an Atlanta visitor. Further than to say that he ex pected to present himself for com mission at the hands of the Governor June 30, the Monday following Gov ernor Slaton’s Inauguration Satur day, Mr. Price would not talk poli tics. "I am mighty busy making a cron —and I hope to make a fine one;” said Mr. Price. "It never would Jo, I take it, for a Commissioner of Ag riculture to come up next fall with a bum crop, would it? Well, it takes all my time nowadays looking after mine, and I expect to be busy as a bee from now until I have to come to Atlanta to assume office.” C. M. Methvin, president of the Georgia Weekly Press Association, who some days ago extended an invi tation to President Woodrow Wilson to attend the next annual meeting of the Association to be held in La- Grange July 16-16, has reectved a replv from the President's secretary, J. P. Tumulty, in which he says it will not be possible for the Presi dent to accept the invitation, he hav ing "bound himself to refrain from pleasures of this kind during the first year of his administration, and he is therefore declining all invitations which involve his leaving Washing ton ” The grand jury of Lowndes Coun ty has requested members of the Legislature from that Co’ nty to in- >reduce and push to its passage a £ U denying defendants arraigned in the City Court of Lowndes the right FOUNTAIN PEN.

Inquired the customer. “You’ll have to come again,” said the head barber. “1 didn't quite get you. I been sick lately and I ain’t as keen as 1 uster be with that new- quick stuff." “I mean,” explained the customer, “is there any open season for beards and mustaches?" "Never heard of It," was the reply. "What’s the idea?” "Oh. nothing; I just got to think ing about it seeing that picture of the Roman Forum on the wall. I notice there isn’t a chap in the whole layout w-ho sports a beard or mus- I tache. That was some hundred years ugo, If I remember my history at all. When I was a kid every fellow that could, sported a mustache and a good many of ’em had beards. Now they seem to have gone out of style. There are more barber shops In At lanta to-day than I w-ould have be lieved were in the whole w-orld a | few years ago. I have wondered why the mustache and goatee and side burns and chin-ticklers have been disappearing from the map. I had an idea that fashion had something to do with It.” “Not on your life,” said the head barber. “The whole secret lies in the fact that men these days want to look as young as they can. Twenty years ago everybody wanted to look old. It’s the ‘young blood’ that tells In this century and every chap that isn’t over a hundred wants to appear as if he w r ere only about twenty-one. Vanity, my friend, vanity. That’s the whole secret. NEXT!” The Big Placard on the Wall. A well known resident of the Kimball House, a gentleman most courteous and kindly disposed, has his own notions about where hospi tality begins and ends, and particu larly under his ow-n vine and fig- tree. A few- days ago he asked a friend up to his room to look through some books of mutual interest, and as the friend had enjoyed the society of the Kimball House resident on more than one occasion, and knew him to be a most interesting and charming host, he naturally felt that he had a pleasant half hour or so coming to him. When he entered the room, a big placard on the wall Instantly arrest ed his attention and claimed his un qualified approval. It read: “NOTICE—Positively no discussion of the Phagan case permitted in this room.” Carnegie Fund for Needy College Girls ITHACA, May 31.—A fund for needy and meritorious women stu dents at Cornell will be founded by Dr. Andrew- D. White with a part of the $25,000 given to him last winter by Andrew Carnegie to be used at the University for any purpose Dr. White saw fit. Dr. White first proposed to give it to the loan fund for men students, but finding that fund already large decided to utilize it for the women. He will set aside $7,000 now and probably Increase It to $10,000. Court Rules Large Pennies Still Good ALBANY, May 31.—Old fashioned big: copper pennies are still legal ten der and must be accepted as fare by trolley car conductors if presented. A jury in City Court so decided. Joseph W, Texter offered a con ductor on a local car fpur “big cop pers" and a modern cent in payment for his fare. The conductor refused to take them and tried to put Tex ter off. Texter sued the United Traction Company and a jury award ed him $275. SOCIETY PLAY AT GRAND. A misunderstanding has been occa sioned by erroneous announcements that the Players’ Club performance would bp given at the Atlanta Theater. The pos itive announcement was made Saturday that the Grand Opera House is the pla^e. as originally intended, and the time Tuesday night. to demand grand jury Indictments before proceeding to trial. The grand jury upon investigation found that almost invariably these demands for indictment are made for delay only, and with intent to ham per the court in its administration of justice. The present and past grand juries have been swamped with de mands for indictment from the City Court, In minor and relatively unim portant cases. Lowndes is not the only county In Georgia that suffers because of the same trouble. William H. Burwell, candidate for Speaker, met John T. Allen, candl- I date for President of the Senate, in the Kimball House lobby. “How’s your race, Judge?” inquired Burwell. "Fine, I’m going to be elected. How’s your’s, Burw-ell?” queried Al len. “Fine. I’m going to be elected.” “I’ll buy," said Burwell. “No, I ll buy,” said Allen. And they went into the corner drug store, where both bought—one a lem on and lime, the other a glass of but termilk. ADDITIONAL TRAIN SERVICE. Effective Sunday.

The value of the 12 rolls I give away with each Player is $10.50. That club members may have all the free music they can play, I have installed a library of 5,000 rolls. A member may play the first 12 rolls until tired of that music. Then those 12 rolls may be exchanged for 12 more. Keep this up daily if you like. Get all the music you want. There is no use having a Player- Piano without the latest music, so I want every Club member to be happy and con tented. It cost me a lot of money to install the free library, but I was determined to make the Weatherholt Player-Piano Club the greatest musical offer ever made in the South.

They are worth $650.00 each, and are us ually sold for that price. I have sold many of them at that figure. But because of the large number to be sold to club members, I am able to offer them at $488.50, on terms of $10.00 down, and $2.50 a week. This is what the great purchasing power of the 400 club members co operating together accomplishes. The club price is cheaper than many dealers can buy players for.
