Richmond Member of Legislature
Has Score or More of Meas
ures He Wants Passed.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Th? Honorable Samuel F. Garltng
ton, of Richmond, evidently propose*
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 la the general Impression,
anyway, since a list has been given
oot of thoae hills the gentleman
foam Richmond will propose Imme
diately upon the assembling of the
Legislature.
Just as soon a* the representative
from Richmond can catch the new
Speaker's eye, he will send to the
olerk's desk for a first reading the
following
A hill to establish a board of tax
equal! sera
A htM to provide for the destruc
tion of pistols, dlrka and bowle
knives taken from prisoners under
arrest.
A hill to require all executions
against real estate to he recorded in
the county where the real estate lies.
A bill to permit a deed of a cor
poration, attested by a notary who
I# a shareholder In the corporation,
to be valid, nevertheless
A bill granting appeals from mu-
niclpsl 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 hank checks.
A bill providing the Australian bal
lot in certain circumstances.
Mr. Garllngton also has seven nr
eleven other bills up his ample
sleeves, the nature of which have not
yet been disclosed.
However, he feels reasonably sure
llie foregoing will hold the Legisla
ture for a while.
It is probable that an election will
be held to (111 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, ol
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
the election for June 22, which will
allow time for the newly elected
member of the House to qualify. The
Legislature meets June 2B.
Talk of a probable auccessor to
Colonel Stovall Is rife. There have
been no positive announcements, but
the friends of some of those men
tioned a* candidates are worklhg for
them. The sentiment for a business
man In the Legislature appears to
be growing, although no candidate
bas ome out on that platform. It
la expected that the Young Men's
Democratic Club will have a man In
the race.
Those moat prominently mentioned
as possible candidates are: .1
Boulian, David S. Atkinson. .1 W
Benton. Herman Shuptrtne and K
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 Ooy-
ernor Slaton's inauguration Satur
day, Mr. Price would not talk poli
tics
"J am mighty busy making a crop
—and 1 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. Methvln, 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 he held in La-
Grange July 15-16, has reecived a
reply from the President » secretary
J P. Tumulty, in which he savs It
'Will not be possible for the Presi
dent to accept the invitation, he hav-
— "bound himself to refrain from
pleasures of this kind during the first
yeah of his administration, and he
Is therefore declining all invitations
which Involve his leaving Washing
ton.”
The grand jury of Lowndes Ooun-
Sjty has requested members of the
Legislature from that County to in
troduce and push to its passage a
btli denying defendants arraigned in
the City Court of Lowndes the tight
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-
pet the court In its administration of
justice. The present and past grand
juries have been swamped with de
mands for indictment from the City
Conn, 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

PIANO CLUB PLAN
STIRS ALL DIXIE
Great Number of Letters Pouring
in to Weatherholt Company,
Seeking Information.
That the advertising campaign of
the Weatherholt Piano Company has
made a sensation throughout the
South is indicated by the many let
ters received by T. E. Weatherholt,
president of the company. Nearly
every State is represented and wide
spread interest has been manifested in
the player piano club of 400 which Mr.
Weatherholt inaugurated. In addition
to the letters received, Mr. Weather-
holt has been busy with his demon
strators showing the player pianos to
interested spectators and answering
telephone calls regarding the club
plan.
One of the most attractive features
of his campaign is the free music ex
change library of 6,000 rolls, which
every club member has the advantage
of. With every player piano the pur
chaser is given twelve rolls of select
ed music worth $10.60, and this music
may exchanged every day if de
sired. This makes it possible for every
club member to secure free $10.60
worth of music each day. Mr. Weath
erholt says his reason for inaugurat
ing a great free music library is that
many people have hesitated in buying
a player piano In the past because of
the cost of music. His plan, he says,
removes that objection and give? the
purchaser of every player piano free
music.
Recause of the enormous purchas
ing power of the 400 club members he
is able to sell a player piano worth
$650 for $488.50, on terms of $10 down
and $2.50 a week. The membership
books opened last Wednesday and
since that time a large number have
enrolled.
