ROSWELL REJOICES
OVER THE CONVICTS
Greatly Pleased to Have the Gang
Of Road Builders in that
Section of the County

Roswell is greatly rejoiced over
having the county convicts begin
work in that section.
A writer in the Alpharetta Free
Press says:
Last Saturday seventy convicts,
under Chief Warden Randall, AS
sistant Warden Morris and five
guards, commenced work on the
street running west from the Ros-
we'll drug store. This street viii be
finished at once, and by next Monday
the entire gang will be put to work on
the main street running north and
south through the town. 1t is fully
two miles long and it will perhaps
take ten days or two weeks to repair
it as all the people of Roswell desire
that it shall be repaired 1t has been
enc Of the toughest pieces of road
between the B'ue Ridge mountains
and the capital city. The sharp
pointed rocks in the roadbed have
teen exposed, and holes have been
toIn by continual grinding of hoofs
nd vehicle tires, SO that a fellow
who tries to make time through Ros-
well is called down, not by the mar
shall, but by the rough street. Every
body will be happy when this stretch
of street is repaired and made good.
County Commissioner J. B. Wing,
who lives at Bulloch Hall, in Roswell,
deserves the thanks of the public for
using his influence to bring these
conyicts to Roswell. 1t means much
to everybody who has occasion to
travel through that popular town
And while the work is being done
it is the earnest desire of all that it
be done we'll"
Following that work the convicts
will start on the Roswell and Mariet-
ia road

lation upon this subject unless it
carries with it an opportunity for
approval or disapproval by TIE
people at the ballot box.
JOSEPH M. BROWN"
Governor Browns position having
been thus stated the campaign will
rapidly assume defnate shape.
There are two bills pending in the
legislature, one the Tippens bill.
which prohibits the sale Of drinks
with more than one-half Of one per
cent of alcohol. This would knock
out the breweries. Governor Brown
says in effect that he will veto this
bill unless it is submitted to the
people. There is another bill allow
ing the sale of whisky in original
packages. That bill would also have
to be submitted to the people, as
would be the case with any other
measure either strengthening or
weakening the prohibition law.
Some of the prohibitionists are
actively at work for Pope
Brown, among them Hooper
Alexander and Dupont Query, but
others prominent in the cause are
confused and discouraged and are not
taking up the fight.

PRIMARY IS ORDERED.

The State Democratic Committee
at the meeting held in Atlanta last
Thursday ordered the primary for
the selection of a governor to be
held on Thursday, December 7th.
The rules provide for the county
unit plan; that is, each county will
be given double the number of votes
that it has members of the legisla-
ture. Cobb will have four votes.
But there will be no convention.
The Committee will receive and con-
solidate the returns and declare the
result.
Another innovation will be the
plurality vote" That is, the can
didate who receives the highest
number of votes in the county will
be given the vote of the county.
He will not have to receive a
majority of all the votes cast, but if
one man receives four hundred, and
another four hundred and fifty, and
another five hundred, the man re-
ceiving five hundred will get the
county although he will have lacked
nearly two hundred votes of having
majority of all those voting. 1t
is not known which candidate is
likely to be helped or hurt by this
new rule. 1t was adopted to pre-
vent the necessity for a second
primary and to avoid the wrangle
OF a convention nomination.
The Committee refused to adopt
Governor Browns suggestion that
the voters express their preferences
in regard to the prohibition law and
as result of that action Governor
Brown has issued the following card:
October 27, 1911.
To the People Of Georgia;
The state executive committee
OF the democratic party has refused
to permit the white citizens of this
state to vote upon the alternative of
local option or state prohibition in
the coming primary.
This action can only be construed
to mean that the state executive
committee holds that the liquor
question is not properly an issue in
the present campaign. Since at
tempts had been made by others to
lug 1t in, ! asked that this most
important matter be submitted to
the primary, in which white voters
alone will participate.
The other two candidates for
governor have publicly expressed the
conviction that the question of local
option or prohibition is one to be
settled by the people alone. 1t is to
be regretted that the white voters
have been denied this right, at this
time, by those who are in charge of
their party affairs. | feel sure that
this regret will be shared by a great
majority of the white people, ire
spective of their individual prefer
ences on this question.
( While | have uninformly voted
the prohibition ticket, yet, feeling
as strongly as | do that the people
have the inherent right to determine
their policy upon this question, SC

election, shall not favor any legis-

BRIEF CHANGE AS REvIvER
Nothing So Rests and Recreatcs the Weary Mental and Physical
 Faculties.

When beginning to feel Tagged, try the reViving influence of a brief change. Nothing so rests and re creates the weary mental and physical faculties.
 If you have been writing or reading, for instance, take a long look at the farthest distance possible-perhaps a look toward the hills whence cometh our help
 If you have been sitting, stand up, sTaighten the knees firmly, curve the waist line in at the back, bring the chest up, press the neck against the collar; if standing drop into the cas- fest chair available and relax all over.
 If you have been talking steadily for some time. keep silent for a few moments; if you have been steadily, silently concentrating on some piece of work or problem, find respite in a few moments of chat or light reading.
 If you have been working with hand or brain reverse the process for lit tie while. A few minutes of deep breathing near an open window is the finest "rester" of all.
 Two busy business girls frequently Indulge in what they call their after noon "refresco," borrowing the term from the Spanish-American countries, where cooling drinks of some sort re- place, tea as a mid-afternoon solace. They exchange a quip, jest, funny story, talk for a moment or two of some light, refreshing subject, per haps plan some pleasure excursion or diversion for the future. Then-and only the briefest time. is thus con- go back to work much rested and refreshed. Here is youth and health keeping hint worthy of note.

An oiI-concrete Road.

The first stretch of oil-concrete highway to be laid in Pennsylvania has just recently been completed on the Harrisburg-L -Linglestown road. It is about a quarter of a mile in length and is between Progress and Pax tonia- The oil-concrete road is an ex- pertinent on the part of. the State Highway department, which in 1907 rebuilt the highway from the eastern terminus of the city to Paxtonia. The section just laid replaces a quarter of a mile of road constructed of con- crete. The new section of road is made of concrete into which are mixed asphaltic oils. The top surface is not arched so much as the rest of the road, the crown being constructed on a basis of three-eighths of an inch to a foot. The crown is the same as that used in laying brick pavement

LOST A GOOD OPPORTUNITY
Newly Married Man Riding Through Tunnel With Ills Bride Is Made
 Butt of Joke by Friends.

They had just been married, and were off on their honeymoon. They found an empty compartment, but just as the train was about to start in jumped three of his workmates, who were delighted to see them. But Bertie was otherwise.
 As the train was nearing a very long tunnel, the three young men began to make bets as to how long 1t would take them to go through it.
 No 1 reckoned five minutes, No. 2 five and half. while No. 3 gave it as his opinion that 1t would be quite six minutes They pulled out their watch es, and the train dashed into the tun- nel
 When they came out at the other end, the three were laughing heartily, but Bertie failed to discern any joke.
 At the next station, to the great re- lief of Bertie the three unwelcome in- truders alighted.
 He turned to his blushing bride.
 Fancy, dearest" he said, ''six min utes In that tunnel! If I had only known, I should have kissed you sev- eral times"
 Why" she exclaimed in surprise, didn't you?"
 Then 1t dawned upon him where the joke came in, and his dear little wife had to rebuke him on account of the forcibleness of his remarks.
