A Hundred Want This Job Atlanta, Ga.—The post of keeper of ]*ublic buildings and grounds which 1 pays $1,500 a year, appears to be the most pop ular minor office about the cap ital building. It is one, at any rate, which is going to give Governor-elect Joseph) M. Brown more trouble, perhaps, than al) others. Alreadly Governor Brown has upwards of 100 applications for this position, and they are pour ing in from all sections of Geor gia by almost every mail. It is a sale prediction that this ap pointment will be about one of the last the new governor will make. He will want time to think over it well, for there mu-t perforce be something like ninety-nine or more disappoint ed men out of the lot. The keeper of public buildings and grounds has charge of the state capital building, the execu -1 tive mansion, and, in away, of other public buildings in the state though his primdpal duties: are in connection only witlii the two ' buildings named. He employes ad the help, looks after the fur nishings of all capital officesand has charge of the expenditure of , a fend amounting to about $20,- i 000 annually. A Thrilling Rescue. How Bert R.

Commissioners of North Georgia Counties to Meet in Rome July 5 County Commissioners, J. T. Jolly, W. 11. Benn, J. S. Doster, F. C. Irvine and R. A. McWhorter have been invited to attend a Convention of the Coun ty Commissioners of North Geor gia, to be held at Rome on July sth. There will be a big Good Roads Rally at the Floyd County court house at 11 o'clock in the morn ing of July sth. at which Hon. Moses Wright will make an ad dress, and at which the subject of Good Roads will receive scien tific discussion. At 1 o'clock the County Com missioners of North Georgia will be intertained at a banquet dinner at the Cherokee Hotel as the guests of the Manufacturers & Merchants Association of Rome. The recent discussion with re lation to- a highway between Chattanooga andi Atlanta has aroused a great deal of interest in North Georgia. It is a well kinown fact that the only logical route between Chattanooga and Atlanta lies by wtty oi 'LalhepAte. Summervilbe, Rome, Cartersville and ’’Marietta. The several coun ties through which this route pas <-s are engaged in working their roads, and all that is necessary te make the through route complete is for the County Commissioners of the different counties to co ordinate their different road sys tems. It is the idea of the Manufac turers & Merchants Association of Rome that this end can be bet ter attained by getting the Coun ty Commissioners together and discuss the situation, than in any other way. It is probable that an Assoeiationiof the County Com missioners will be formed. A grand assemblage <1 automo biles from al] of North Georgia will attend the rally. There will be automobile races, boat races, and many other attractions as one of the features of the enter tainment offered the visitors.
