Entertainment.

derful entertainment 1T the New Ha-
ven theater last night, TO large and
delighted audience. The entertain
ment Is novel as well as instructive.
II is also varied in Its nature and
comprises the Cllvettes, who are as
sisted by an unusually clever combin-
alton of other artists. The Dibble
moving pictures are exceedingly good
and arc worth the whole money
charged for admission. The corona
ton ceremony at Spain scenes gives
a splendid idea Of the magnhcance Of
the spectacle Lee and Allen, the
champion novelty dancers, did clever
work, and the Misses Collins and
Jewell in their banjo selections were
exceedingly clever and entertaining.
The Honeymoon, by Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Lavarine, Is clever comedy
creation and was we'll rendered. Last
but not least, the clever mystlfying
and Juggling feats of the Clvettes
were q splendid feature Of the show.
The shadow throwing was not only
smart but was very amusing and the
audience was not slow in showing its
appreciation OF Mr.. Clivettes clever
work There will be matinee per-
Torrance every afternoon and even
ing with the exception OF Friday night
when the theater will be used for Me

Rad LAWS ARE CONFUSING
THERE ARE TWO OF THEM, AND
ruuy SEEMINGLY CONFLICT.
=. ,rnoars Now That Persons Over
t6 Years Old Are Subject to Road
nuty i'm Terrell County.


There are two distinct road avs
n Georgia. and various amendments
~ them have caused some confusion
&C to the age of persons who are
subject to road duty
AS was stated in last weeks News,
Ordinary w. b. Cheatham was of the
opinion that a recent act of the leg
stature relieved all persons under
twenty-one years of age of road duty,
Init from further investigation it ap-
Dears that this applies only to those
counties in which a tax is levied on
property for road purposes.
What the Two Laws Are.
The road law of force in Terrell
county was put into operation by
recommendation of the grand jury,
and is known as the General Road
Law. contained in the act of the gen
eraI assembly approved October Dist,
1891. In 1896 the Legislature pro-
vided for another system for working
the public roads, this law being found
in the acts of 1896, and goes into eff
feet in any county only by vote of
the qualified voters at an election
ordered by the Ordinary on a petit
tion signed by $50 voters; and under
this law only persons Il years old
and not over so years of age are sub
iect to road tax, or road duty not
m 0voaod fnUy doUc in naah
whereas under the act of 1891 all
persons between the ages of 16 and
30 are subject to road duty, and that
for ten days in each year. The act
of 1896 does not repeal that of 1891,
for there is an explicit provision in
the act of 1896 which leaves it OPP
tionary with the counties to adopt
the act of 1891 by recommendation
of the grand jury or the act of 1896
by popular vote.
In 1903 the legislature amended
the act of 1895, and in 1907 an
amendment was made to the act of
1903, and in these amending acts
the verbiage of the caption of each
is rather ambiguous, and it is neces-
Sary to read carefully the body of
the acts to interpret the true mean
ing thereof, a casual reading of the
title of these acts being calculated to
lead one to conclude that the act OF
1891 was entirely repea4ed and that
no persons would be subject to road
duty except those not under 21 years
and not over so years of age. How
ever, constituting all the legislation
on the subject of road working to-
gether it is evident that there are
two distinct systems in this state, as
previously stated, and Tat in Ter
rell county the act of 1891 is of
force.
Referred to the Attorney General.
To have the matter finally settled,
however, in order that there may be
no question raised about it hereafter,
me board of county commissioners
while in session Monday requested
ordinary Cheatham to refer it to the
encouragement of the state, Judge
John c, Hart, for his opinion. The
board, in collecting road tax hereaf-
Ter, will be guided by what Judge
hart says as to the age of those sub
Ject to road duty.

REPUBLICANS MET SATURDAY
Delegates to the State Convention on
May 18th Were Elected. District
Convention Comes Saturday.

There was a meeting of the color
ed republicans at the court house
Saturday morning, at which dele
gates were elected to the state con-
vention of the republican party,
which will convene in Macon on the
18th of May, and four delegates to
the national republican convention
from the state at large were en-
dorsed.
Lewis Jeffries and B. j. Davis were
elected to represent the county at
the state convention. Davis is being
talked of as chairman of that body,
and may be elected to preside over it.
The four who we're endorsed for
delegates to the national convention
from the state at large are w. h.
Johnson, white; H. Il. Johnson, col
ored; C. P. Goree, white, and Judson
Lyons, colored. w. H. Johnson is
from Columbus, and is United States
marshal for the Northern district of
Georgia and chairman of the state
republican committee; Goree is an
Atlanta lawyer, and Lyons was reg
lister of the national treasury during
the Mckinley administration and
during Roosevelt's first term.
District Republicans Coming.
The republican convention of the
Second congressional district will
meet in Dawson next Saturday for
the purpose of electing two delegates
to represent the district in the ma
tional convention. A number OF
white men will be in this conven-
ton.
B. J. Davis of Dawson and Post
master Hal Brimberry of Albany are
on the slate for delegates to the ma
tional convention, and will in all
probability win, notwithstanding that
a fight is being made on them. Dr..
C. w Arnold, a prominent and
wealthy republican of Albany, is said
to be behind the opposition.

no ReneaI special Road Law.

Notice is given elsewhere in The

in the Legislature repeating the
special road law that was enacted
about forty years ago making the

of the state fixes the width of pub
lie highways at thirty feet, and with
the repeal of the special law this will
be the legal width of the roads in
