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- pc-ation, 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 w orthless 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 pf 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, oi the court of the Ordinary of Chat ham County, has been authorized by Governor Brow'n to hold an election. The Court of Ordinary is n*>w 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 the election for June 22, which will allow time for the newly elected member of the House to qualify. The Legislature meets June 23. 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. Benton. 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 crop —and I hope to make a fine one.” said Mr. Price. “It never W'ould 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 frqm now' until I have to come to Atlanta to assume office.” C. M. Methvin, president of the Georgia Weekly Press Association, w'ho 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- Grar.ge July 15-16, has reeeived a repiv from the President’s secretary, J.

"I didn’t quite get you. I been sick lately and I ain’t as keen as I 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 who sports a beard or mus tache. That was some hundred years ago, 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 would have be lieved were In the w-hole world 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 were 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 bis own notions about where hospi tality begins and ends, and particu larly under his own 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, j 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 four "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 be given at the Atlanta Theater. The pos itive announcement was made Saturday that the Grand Opera House is the place, as originally intended, and the time Tuesday night. to demand grand jury indictments before proceeding tp 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, candi date for President of the Senate, in the Kimball Hou3e lobby. “How’s your race, Judge?” inquired Burwell. “Fine, I’m going to be elected. How’s your’s, Burwell?” 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 comer drug store, where both bought—one a lem, on and lime, the other a glasa of but termilk. ADDITIONAL TRAIN SERVICE.

In addition to saying each member $334.50 on every Player, my Club Plan allows mem bers to exchange music. 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. Study the other Free Club Features and then tell me whether you do not agree with me that this IS the greatest musical offer ever made in the South.

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.
