TAOS ORDEREDF08 STATE’S AilTO CARS 25 f QOO Coining, and it is Believed More Will h- Seeded Under Xew Law. Twenty-five thousand tags have been ordered for Georgia’s automo bile registration under the new law, effective January 1, which requires every car to get a new license every year. S'ecertary of State Phil Cook be- l'cves that the number may not be suRicient to go arouna. “We have passed the 2:5,000 mark now on our hooks under the old law,” said he Wednesday. “Of course there are very many dupli- | catious in that long list. But I be- J lieve tlie duplications will be more I than offset by the number of cars which never have been licensed by the State. The old law has been ignored openly in several parts of the State, because there was no in- I dneement for the county officers to ! of force it. "The new law will be enforced bet ter. It offers that inducement—for every county is to get its proper share of the license money that is collected here.” The new tags will be very much like the present ones, except that the year “ 1!»14 ” will show in the lower corner. The lirst consignment of 10,000 is to be delivered Decem ber 15. They were purchased through Arthur Wrigle.v, of Atlanta, from the lowest bidder, S. II. Quince Sons, of Philadelphia. Representative E. 1-1. MciMichael. of Marion, speaker pro tern of the House and a member of the McCrory school hook commission, arrived in Atlanta Friday night and will re main hero until some time the early part of next. week. 1-Ie is a guest at the Piedmont hotel. Mr. MeMichael has spent a busy time since the adjournment of the 1 legislature getting his crops in readi- ! ness and preparing for the ginning j season. He has traveled extensively J throughout Georgia and declares the crops in far better condition than he has seen them before in years. “During my travels,’’ said Mr. Mc- Mlchael, “1 was careful to notice not only tho farming interests but busi ness conditions in general and found the improvement far and above my most sanguine expectations. Thfro seems to be plenty of money and the people are not afraid to turn it loose. Old accounts are being paid—a sure sign that p/osperity sits on the threshold of our State. “There is no doubt in my mind but we are on the verge of the most prosperous era in our history. Signs of the good times are evident in every section of Georgia T have visi ted and there is no reason why we should not lead the entire South commercially, financially and in the business world during the season at hand and the seasons to come." - Mrs. Harry C', Phelps after a month’s visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dock Morris, left Tuesday for her home in Paragouhl, Ark.
