DRAWS BILL ID
CHECK SALES
Death of Sanders Walker Spurs
Chatham Legislator—Special
Bottles Proposed.
B. JAMES B. NEVIN.
One of tile members from Chatham
proposes to Introduce In the next Leg
islatore a bill rigidly regulating the
sale and labeling of narcotic drugs In
Georgia.
Provision will be made for levying a
genera; tax on every proprietor or
clerk dispensing morphine, cocaim
and other drugs of like character, to
the extent of $5 a year, and with th<
sum thus raised It will be proposed to
pay the expenses of a State drug In
ventor, whose duty It shall be to keep
track of all drug dispensations In gen
eral, and of deadly drugs In particular
The bill ha* not been worked out
In all of Its provisions, but It likely
will undertake to regulate the man
ner In which narcotic drugs ahull be
sold, perhaps prescribing not only
bright red labels for all drugs of this
character, but some unusual form of
package It Ir suggested that ll might
help to require all deadly drugs to fie
sold In triangular-shaped bottles, with
especially prepared ecrew tops.
However this may be shaped up
eventually, It la 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 as Improbable
as possible, In any and all circum
stances.
The fatal mistake of young Sanders
Walksr In Macon unquestionably has
stirred the State In the matter of nar
cotic and deadly drug dispensation,
and the proposed bill to regulate their
sale hereafter, even more rigidly than
ever before, likely will receive strong
support In the Legislature, and hue
more than a good chance to pass.
Representative Anderson Rodden-
bery, who has been far from well of
lale, la spending a few days at Hamp
ton Springs, Fla , recuperating.
He hopes to get back to Washington
within the week, however, to resume
his congressional duties.
Judge Carl Vinson, former Speaker
Rio Tern of the House, now Judge of
the City Court of Mllledgevllle, like
ly will be a candidate for Congrasi
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 his more In
timate friends to understand as much
clearly. Ha has served ten years In
the House, achieved a high standing
and reputation during that time, and
now desires to retire to the practice
of law. Mr. Hardwick haa remain*!
in Congress at great financial sacri
fice, as It Is.
Judge Vinson unquestionably will
be a atrong eanrildate for the suc
cession. He la 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
imvughout 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. lllges,
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 pul before the people of Co
lumbus.
At present the Columbus water
supply Is owned by a private corpo
ration. and Mayor Chappell and oth
ers axe now at the head of a move
ment to hold a bond election for the
purpose 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 heart with
axceedlng great joy, moreover!
The Judge has found a decision of
the State Court of Appeals thut
pleases him Immensely, and that lie
unqualifiedly approves, even If he does
hold 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
tigers and can be abated as nuisances
at the instance of any citizen, and
also at the decision of the Court of
Appeals, holding that when a stew ard
of a social club sells to the members
of the club or anyone else intoxicating I
liquors, he Is guilty of violating th. |
State prohibition laws, thereby hold
ing that all social clubs selling whisky
are blind tigers.
Judge Fite says he has always held
this as the law. but this Is the first
time it has been ao held by the higher
courts.
The first Indictments under the new I
law requiring all manufactories to
provide seats for female operatives |
were returned the other day by the i
Muscogee Grand Jury.
C. L. Perkins and J. K King, presi- ;
dent and superintendent, respective
of the Massey-Perkins Hosiery Mill ]
in Columbus, have been held to a mis
demeanor charge for failure to pro
vide seats for female operatives In
their factory, as Is required by Jaw, in
certain circumstances
Whether the cases will be settled or
carried to the courts of review as a j
test of the new law Is not certain, but \
t,be Impression Is that the cases will
not get hvyond the low er courts, I
Qdullin' Q1 C 1 RH If you bought this Club Player Piano in the
udVllfgf, Ij‘ I 0 I iJu open market, you would pay $650.00 for.it.
By my G-igantic 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.
One Year’s trial
and forget it.
If I were not interested in the club members,
I could unload a cheap player and then try
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.
Tpn-Yoar Pnarsntco T ^ ere are * ots p t a y er Pianos i could sen
lull I <ju\ UUds flllluu f 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.

$334.50
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, 15c 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.
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.
Nf) IntPTPQt ^ose wil ° liave experience with paying In
i''' HIlul uu 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.
Two-Year Conservatory Course
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
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
