All that was mortle of J. H, Clarke

Mr.. Clark was in his eighty-ffJh
wear and had led an active life.
He hal been in Fl z59raid since

with his family mourn his loss, He

No More New Counties.
Georgia Legislature Won't Pass
One Of The Seven Bills.

Atlanta Ga, Aug. 2.-Ever since
Georgia created nine new counties
several years ago. almost every town
in the stateof any proportions, which
issnot now county site, has acquired
ambition to be one.
Consequently every sess i'm of the
Legislature is flooded with bills pro-
posing the creation of new counties.
There are no less than seven OF
these measures pending at the pre-
sent session, not one of which, it may
be stated safely, will ever see day
light.
The only one of the lot that was
seriously considered was that which
involved the creation Of the new
county of Bleckley out of Pulaski
with Cochran as the county site, and
that was defeated after hard fight
in the committee room between the
contending factions which were rep
resented here by large delegations.
The house is not in the humor for
F. voting any new counties and all the
bills will die on the table, including
tie proposed constitutional amend
ment under which it has been pro-
posed to provide automatically
for the creation of new counties
whenever the prescribed conditions
are met.

Wright, of Floyd. 1t makes it a
misdemeanor for any one to make
bets on any election in Georgia
This includes ward, city, county,
state and general elections or prl-
marieS.
Why there was opposition at all
to the measure is yet entertained.
One of the senators who opposed it
jokingly said:
We'll, we who made bets on Hoke
Smith in the last election want a
chance to win back what we lost"
This was, of course, in mere jest.
In support of the measure, Sena-
tor BurweIl severely criticised the
betting on elections which had been
so free in Georgia before, and plead
ed with the senators not to oppose
the bill, but to pass it for the moral
upIift of the state. He declared
that the open betting in Georgia on
the last gubernatorial campaign
where bets were posted in public
places and advertised in the news
papers had already commenced In
the campaingn which was now on
and was a disgrace to any state.
This measure, added to Georglas
code, puts the ban on gambling more
stringent than ever.
