Broyles Recorder 15 years.
Broyles has been Recorder fifteen
years, in this time he has attracted I
State-wide attention through the vtg- ;

tion as, judge of the Stone Mountain]
Circuit to take the appointment to the ,
Appellate bench, ha> presided at many
of Georgia’s famous criminal trials, I
closing his career in the lower courts 1
with the Frank trial.
Recorder Srovles said 1n the an
nouncement of his candidacy:
To My Fellow Citizens of Geor
gia :
I have lately had so many in
quiries from friends in different
parts of the State about my can
didacy for the Court of Appeals
that I think it due them that,
without further delay. I should
publicly declare my intentions.
I shall positively be a candidate
in the Democratic primary next
summer for a place on the (’ourt
of Appeals. Under the rules of
the primary. 1 will have to des
ignate and run for tne particular
judgeship. In the last primary, in
1912, when I onnosed Judge Pottle,
the strongest argument used
against my candidacy was that
Atlanta already had one of the
three judgeships, and was. there
fore. not entitled to another.
Despite this heavy handicap. I
tied with Judge Pottle, but, in the
State convention, 1 withdrew my
name and allowed the South
Georgia candidate to have a
unanimous nomination. I do not
propose to run again with this
same handicap, and, therefore. I
shall be a candidate for the un-
explred term of Judge Ben H.
Hill, of Atlanta.
This position is now held by
Judge L. S. Roan, also of Atlanta,
who was appointed temporarily to
the place until the voters of
Georgia could elect Judge Hill’s
successor. I do not intend to be
gin my campaign for several
months yet, but make this an
nouncement now in response to
the inquiries of my friends in» At

Folks who like a clever amateur
show are looking forward with great
expectation to the performance to
be given Friday night at the Grand
Theater by the Tech Dramatic Club.
It will be a great success. Prepa
rations for the farce have been the
most elaborate ever attempted by the
club and the boys have responded
more readily to the coaching of Miss
Carolyn Cobb than ever before.
Particular attention has been paid
to the female impersonators in the
cast. Their gowns were all made by
friends of the Tech students, and,
according to report, “fit them like the
paper on the wall."
After the performance, most of the
crowd will attend a dance at Se-
gadlo's Hall. The occasion will af
ford an opportunity for good-byes to
be said on the eve of the Christmas
holidays.
Great Chance to Help.
Through the generosity of the. Tech
Dramatic Club, one-quarter of the
box receipts of the play will go to
wards The Georgian-Sunday Amer
ican Empty Stocking Fund. This, in
itself, warrants a good attendance.
It will afford an opportunity for
those who have not heretofore con
tributed to the fund to fill the Christ
mas stockings of the poor to do their
duty to humanity.
The Empty Stocking Fund will
also benefit by the dance to follow at
Segadlo's. While the crowds are
laughing at the funny antics of the
Tech students on the stage of the
Grand, or whirling in the evolutions
of the tango and turkey trot, down in
the poorer districts of Atlanta the
little children will be laughing with
jov at the prospect of having old
Santa Claus with them on Christmas,
just six days from now'.
Don’t Forget Free Concert.
Another event which will benefit
the Empty Stocking Fund will be
the FREE concert at the Forsyth
Theater next Sunday afternoon. Re
member. there is absolutely no ad
mission charge.
The best musical talent of the city
will be presented at this affair. The
local organization of the American
Federation of Musicians, which lias
charge of the event, has promised that
never before has sucli a splendid
program been arranged.
Lovers of music of every type will
be satisfied. Novelties which will be
