t J i THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TO FLOOD HOUSE tern.ilk. 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 date for President of the Senate, in ' the Kimball House lobby “How's jour race. Judge?” Inquired Bur* ell. “Fine, I’m going to be elected.

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.
