Decatur, March S.--tSpec )---Now that the Greater Decatur bill has passed both houses of the state legis- lature and Is only awaiting the sigma ture of Governor ONeaI to become a law it will likely be but short time until the two Decaturs vote on con- solidation, unless the constitutionality of the bill is attacked by some of it's opponents.
 The bill was drawn by Judge John C. Eyster of New Decatur. who says that 1t is constitutional. Judge Eyster says also that Walker Percy, perhops one of the best known lawyers in the state, agrees with him that there is no ques- tion as to the constitutionality of the bill. L. P. Troup, a prominent attorney of New Decatur, also thinks the bill Is constitutional. City Attorney w. w. Callahan of Decatur and some other lawyers are of the opinion that the bill is unconstitutional. Capt. Dan Wal den of New Decatur, one of the mem bors of the legislature from this coun- ty, who presented the bill In the lower house of the legislature, says he has had lawyers investigate the bill and that he is satisfied that 1t is constitu-

THE SOUTH ALAND
 0F. OPPORTUNITIES Secretary Quarles Discusses Broad Purposes of Dis
 tributing Facts

Atlanta, March s--After outlining the history of the inception of the Southern Commercial congress, the holding of the first congress in Washington, when tho
 work of the body was mapped out un- der the guidance of John M. Parker of New Orleans and Grosvenor Dave of Montgomery, Secretary Edwin L.. Quarles discussed the purposes of the organization. Among other things he said: .I want to explain first that all for lack for any better name the one chosen unfortunately may have indicated that the purpose of the effort is simply to hold a meeting or congress of southern bus mess men once a year. The Southern Commercial congress is not simply a name under which conventions are 70 be called annually. While this magnif- cent assemblage of men today will at tract the eyes of the world to the ac- tivities of the south. still the manage ment of the congress is particularly anx- ious that no man fail to appreciate that it is simply the annual convention of an organization that from day to day is straining every effort to accomplish .he
 primary purposes set forth In It's con stitution.
 As a matter of fact while the South ern Commercial congress is intended as an agency for efforts along certain we'll defined lines, still some of it's best work
 has so far been the result of accepting opportunities which were suddenly pre- scented and which were possibly never anticipated by the framers of. It's con- stitution. prefer to say that the South ern Commercial congress Is centralized agency for creating self-knowledge and greater activity toward progress within the south, and for assembling and dis tributing to the nation and to the world
 the broad facts regarding the south which shows it to be the greatest land of op- portunity upon the face of the earth.
 "The Southern Commercial congress
 stands with every editor and practical
 business man who breaches against the
 futility of congresses and conventions that meet with a blast of trumpets. ac-
 compltsh little and lie dormant until called together in a year hence. But we do believe that the raw material, the
 waterpower the mineral deposits and
 the vast acreage of idle lands in the south are calling for people and money. And we further believe that no one com munity, no one state within this section
 having so much in common can hinder what Is needed to convert the national mind to the truth about it's health. cli- matic. social and educational conditions and its unlimited opportunities. but that
 sane and earnest communion of the available constructive forces can work out-by the time the Panama canal Is opened-a destiny for the south which
 will be not only a mighty uplift of all conditions affecting our people, but also the return of the south to the councils of the nation in the potency of states manship we once enjoyed

There is a growing sentiment here against the holding of an election to de- eide the matter of returning saloons to the county. It is pretty generally con- ceded that such an attempt on the part of the liquor folks would be failure. and there is no use of harrassng the com munty with an election. The people as rule are pretty we'll satisfied with pres ent conditions. and it is only few who hope to benefit financially from the re- establishment of the liquor traffic that are agitating the subject.

Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
An,es. Sept. 16.--The annual push
ball contest between the freshmen and
sophomores was pulled off on the state
field yesterday afternoon with the score
in favor Of the latter.
The pushball games have taken the
place Of the old class scraps which
were pulled off at the college every
year. until the past three or four The
college authorities have always pro-
tested against the scraps and Of late
years their protests have taken the
form Of suspensions and explosions.
The crowd was perhaps the largest
ever seen on the state field at a purely
local event. There were probably 1000
people on the grounds.
The most amusing feature of this
and other similar contests was the at
tire in which the players entered the
game and the lack Of attire in which
they came out. Very few shirts en-
tered and it is safe to say that none
returned. At the close Of the game
shirts were not the only thing missing,
shoes, belts and even trousers were
partially gone. One man in tact was
forced to borrow an old. torn shirt in
which he wrapped himself and CARRIED
in this and happy smile. for he was
a soph. he marched for home with the
rest of the victors.
