CLAYTON DELEGATES
AGAINST HOWELL
BECAME ANGRY IN SENATORIAL
CONVENTION AND REFUSED TO
VOTE FOR ATLANTIAN.

Hon. Clark Howell. OF Atlanta. was to-
day nominated for state senator by the
thirty-f1fth senatorial district convention.
The nomination, however. was not unan-
imous. as has been the custom. Instead.
the Clayton county delegation got mad.
put up a candidate from Clayton, James
Waldrop. and cast two votes against
Clark Howell.
The Cobb county and Fulton county del
egation. ten in number. cast ten votes for
Mr.. Howell, which was a majority OF the
convention and sufficient TO nominate him
on the first ballot Mr.. Howell will, there
fore. be the next senator from this dis
trict. composed OF Fulton. Clayton and
Cobb counties.
When the convention was called to order
by President Clarence Moore, the Clayton
county delegation wanted TO bring up the
question Of who should have the senator
two years from now. The last senatorial
convention, held two years ago, had de-
cided that issue, which decision was that
Fulton should have IL for the next two
years, Cobb should have ii for the two
years following and then Clayton could
come in. The Clayton county people did
not relish the idea at the last convention
and this morning attempted 10 have the
matter settled again.
The convention would not hear to re-
newal of the matter, however, and the
resolution was voted down. 1t was then
that c. NJ. HUE placed in nomination
James Waldrop for the present senator
ship When the vote was taken the result
was 10 to in favor OF Mr.. Howell and he
was declared the next nominee.
Those present at. the convention this
morning as delegates were
George L. Lemon. W. r. Scott, John A.
Lewis and Z. p Dobbs, of Cobb county:
7. c. Cannon, c. NJ. HUE, A. b. Mitcham,
] L. Lewis, II. d. Moore and c. R.
HUE, Of Clayton county; Clarence e.
Moore. w. o. Stamps. r. F. Baker, ]. NJ.
Moore, A. A Meyer and Burton Smith, Of
Fulton county.
Each county was entitled to twice as
many votes in the convention as the coun-
~ had representation in the house of rep
resentatives. Therefore, Fulton had six
votes, Cobb four votes and Clayton two
votes.
The counties that have had senators
since the district was organized in 1861
are as follows: -,
A. ]. Hansell, OF Cobb. 1851 to 1sSa; h. p.
watkins. OF Fulton, 1853 TO 1865; ]. f,

WILL HOLD SENATORIAL
CONVENTION At FORSYTH

MACON, June 1.-THE senatorial COM
rnittee met here yesterday and named the
oath as the time and Forsyth as the place
for holding the senatorial convention for
this district. At that convention Mr.. W.
A. Worsham viii be declared the nominee
and a new executive committee will be
chosen.
There was confusion yesterday as to
whether the meeting was a convention or
a gathering Of the senatorial committee.
Editor B. f. Holder, Of Athens, had cali
ed the meeting, and some Of the dele
gates came down from Monroe and Pike,
thinking it was the nominating conven-
ton When they reached here they found
no meeting. They told their troubles to
Mr.. B. NJ. Davis, of the cid county execu-
tive committee OF Bib. and Mr.. Davis
named a couple of delegates for Bibb to
serve in the senatorial convention, and
these six delegates proceeded to the court
house presumably to adopt q platform
for Mr. Worsham, and to nominate new
committee.
The news spread about the streets, how
ever, and some of the prohibitionists
declared they saw in It certainty to have
Mr. Worsham placed on prohibition
platform, although he had been elected on
a local option platform, and also to have
a prohibition executive committee named
to succeed the present committee. 1t was
claimed that there were four prohibition
lists in the meeting and only two ants
But on the floor when the meeting was
called TO order IN the court house, Mr..
T. ]. CARING, who is a member Of. the
executive committee from Bibb. arose and
read the call that had been issued by
Chairman Holder, and explained that Il
was not a convention, but simply COM
mittee meeting, and he asked that his
rights as a committeeman be respected.
The convention then stepped aside, and
one committee from each county was
present, so the date and place were chosen
for the convention, and Nominee Wor-
sham was invited to name his own dele
gates to attend the. convention.

Difficulties In Getting Divorces.
There is no ether class Of cases in
which the nisi prius Judge has such
wide discretion as divorce cases. There
is no other in which his ideas OF life
has such controlling influence. There
is none in which an appeal is of such
little value. The dragnet clause Of
our statute which authorizes a divorce
by reason of "acts calculated to render
ones condition intuicrahlc has as
many constructions as there are trial
Judges The decision depends entirely
on the particular judges theory of tue
Domestic relations.
Getting a divorce in the Pike judicial
circuit used to be as easy as falling off
a log, and a slippery log at that. but
with Judge Reuben +. Roy's advent
upon the woolsack the prospect was
changed for those weary of the matri-
monial yoke.
Judge Roy is a model husband, ia
ther and Christian gentleman; has Il
we'll defined opinion that when two
people stand up and solemnly promise
before high heaven "to take each other
for better or for worse till death do us
.wo part" they should be compelled to
stick to their bargain. Moreover. he
took his first lessons in the law out Of
Judge Theodore Braces book, and that
eminent jurist and splendid gentleman
is nearly as much opposed to divorces
as is an orthodox Catholic.
No matter how Judge Roy came by
his theories, it is a hazardous venture
to apply for a divorce in his court.
Ordinarily he is the most urbane OF
men, but his anger rises perceptibly
when he reaches the divorce docket.
Then the lawyers must walk as Skill
fully as though treading Oh eggs or hot
plowshares. The slightest bobble, and
they, with their clients, are flung into
midair.
