DRAWS BILL TO
CHECK SUES
Death of Sanders Walker Spurs j
Chatham Legislator—Special
Bottles Proposed.
B. JAMES B NEVIN.
One of the member* from Chatham
proposes to Introduce In the next Leg
islator# a bill rigidly regulating the
**l» and labeling of narcotic drugs In
Georgia.
Frovieion will be made for levying a
general tax on every proprietor or
filer* dispensing morphine, cocaine
and other drugs of like character, to
Hie extent of 15 a year, and with the
son thus raised It will be proposed to
pay the expenses of a State drug ln-
ageotor, whose duty It shall be to keep
t*a«k of all drug dispensations In gen
eral, and of deadly drugs In particular
The bill ha* not been worked out
lo all of Its provisions, but It likely
will undertake to regulate th* man
ner In which narcotic drugs shall be
sold, perhaps prescribing not only
bright red labels for all drugs of this
oharacter, but some unusual form of
ptekage It 1* suggested that It might
help to require all deadly drugs to be
sold In triangular-shaped bottles, with
especially prepared screw tops.
However this may be shaped up
eventually, it Is the purpose of the
member having the matter under con
sideration to regulate the sale of nar
cotic drugs In such manner as to ren
der their accidental use ss improbable |
as possible, In any and all circum
stances
The fata] mistake of young Sanders
Walker In Macon unquestionably has
stirred the State In the matter of nar
cotic and deadly drug dispensation,
and the propoeed bill to regulate their
sale hereafter, even more rigidly than
ever before, likely will receive strong
support In the Legislature, and hus
more than a good chance to pass
Representative Anderson Rodden-
bery, who has been far from well of
Isle, Is spending a few days at Hamp
ton Springe, Fla., recuperating.
He hopes to get back to Washington
within the week, however, to resume
hls congressional duties
Judge Carl Vlnaon. former Speaker
Pro Tem of the House, now Judge of
the City Court of Mllledgevllle. like
ly will be a candidate for Congress
In the next primaries, to succeed Mr.
Thomas W. Hardwick.
It Is very well known that Mr.
Hardwick does not aspire to succeed
himself, and has given hts more in
timate friends to .understand as much
clearly. He has served ten year* In
the House, achieved a high standing
snd reputation during that time, and
now desires to retire to the practice
of law. Mr. Hardwick has remain*!
in Congress at great financial sacri
fice, as It Is.
Jucge Vinson unquestionably will
be a strong candidate for the suc
cession. He Is a fine campaigner, an
eloquent speaker and knows his way
around very well, indeed, In the mat
ters of parliamentary practice and
the paths of legislative endeavor. He
is Immensely popular In his home
county of Baldwin and Is well known
throughout the Tenth District.
Judge Vinson does not say positive
ly.that he will be a candidate to suc
ceed Mr Hardwick, but he very
pointedly refrains from denying that
he will.
A Municipal Ownership Club has
been organized in Columbus, with T.
E. Golden, a well-known manufac
turer as president, and J. P. Illgea,
another manufacturer, as secretary,
having as its object the creation of
sentiment and working for the adop
tion of waterworks bonds, which are
to : be put before the people of Co
lumbus. I
At present the Columbus water 11
supply Is owned by a private corpo
ration, and Mayor Chappell and oth
ers are now at the head of a move
ment to hold a bond election for the I
purpoee of floating bonds to be used
in building a waterworks system to
be owned by the city.
Judge Augustus Warwick Fite, the
fighting magistrate of the Cherokee
circuit, has made a remarkable dis
covery—one that fills his hsart with
exceeding great Joy, moreover!
The Judge has found a decision of
the State Court of Appeals that
pleases him immensely, and that he
unqualifiedly approves, even If he does
bold that he beat the court to it.
The Judge expresses himself as
much gratified at the recent decision
of the Supreme Court sustaining his
views a» to blind tigers, to the effect
that all places where whisky Is sold
either secretly or openly are blind
tiger* and can be abated as nuisances
at the Instance of any citizen, and
also at the decision of the Court of
Appeals, bolding that when a steward
of a social club sells to the membere
ol the club or anyone else Intoxicating
liquors, he Is guilty of violating the
State prohibition laws, thereby hold
ing that all social clubs selling whisky
ars blind tigers.
Judge Fite says he has always held
this as the law, but this Is the first
time It has been so held by the higher
courts
Tht first indictments under the new
law requiring all manufactories to
provide seat# for female operatives
were returned the other day by the
Muscogee Grand Jury.
C. L. Perkins and J K. King, presi
dent and superintendent, respectively,
of the Massey-Perkine Hosiery Mill
in Columbus, have been held to a mis
demeanor charge for failure to pro
vide seats for female operatives In
their factory, aa is required by law, in
certain circumstances
Whether the cases will be settled or
carried to the courts of review as a
test of the new law Is not certain, but
the Impression Is that the esses will
hot get beyond th* lower courts,

Saving of SI 61.50
If you bought this Club Player-Piano in the
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.
flflP YpflfV i’rifll were not interested in the club members,
U!Ij ICul * nidi 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.
TpP-Ypjir PimrantP0 There are Player^-Pianos I could sell
lull ludl uudldllluuf 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 for 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.

T HESE Player Pianos are just
the kind I say they are. 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.
That’s because they won’t sell in
several years what the Weather
holt Player-Piano Club will take in
a few weeks.
Our Club Piano
Regular Price . . $375.00
Club Price $267.50
Terms: $5 Cash, $1.25 Per Week
CONDITIONS: No interest, one year's
trial and exchange privilege, 16c rebate
on payments made before due, free life
insurance feature, ten-year guarantee.
All of which accompany in writing
the sale of every Club Piano.
Two-Year Conservatory Course
A 25c Rebate on All Weekly Payments Made Before Due
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. '
Nn IntPrPQt 0nly those wll ° ^ ave had experience witli paying in
i'U III IGI Go I 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 e ° r f
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.
Notice to All Owners
of Player-Pianos
During our Player Club Mem
bership Campaign, we will ex
tend—without charge—our ex
change privilege to any one
purchasing 12 rolls of Player
Music from us. This gives the
purchaser free access to our
5,000-roll library.
I WANT every lover of music to
read the club features. Every
one of them tells a story of money
saving. Never before in the musi
cal history of the South has such
an offer been made. The offer
means that I save each club mem
ber $334.50 on every player. I
don’t unload a Player-Piano on
club members with nothing to go
with it. I want every Player-Piano
to go to members complete. You
get one into your home for $10.00,
and it is all ready to turn out music.
There are no extras to pay for.
There is no interest on deferred
payments and every player is
GUARANTEED FOR TEN
YEARS.
