new COUNTY MEMBERS
REFUSED BY Committee
Wheeler and BIGCkIGy Lose
First Brush

Atlanta, Ga, July by a unanim-
Gus report the special committee OF
nine, named to pass on the elegibili--
ty to membership in the house q
Douglas Macarthur, of Wheeler county
and Leo, H. Browning, of Bleckley, has
declared the two concerned non-elegi-
BILE to membership.
The report first declares that IN
der the constitution, the membership
o. the house is limited to 1874; that
the constitutional amendments Great
ing Wheeler and Bleckley counties
provided for no members in the legis-
lature; that the mere taking of the
oath of office of the two MEMBERS on
the first day of the session meant moth
ing, and did not establish any right OF
the two members to their seats, since
their offices were nonresident; that
the citizens in old sections of Pulaski
and Montgomery counties, now parts
of Wheeler and Bleckley, voted for the
representatives from Pulaski and,
therefore, could not vote again foc
representatives from Wheeler and
Bleckley
Finally, it declared that Wheeler and
Bleckley have no legal representative
other than the members from Pulaski
and Montgomery. The report also says
that to seat the two men would raise
serious questions as to the constitu-
tionality of any acts passed by the
general assembly.
Every member of the committee, ex-
cept Barry Wright, of Floyd, was pres
ent, and he authorized his signature
to the report. The report was sub
mitted to the house today.

CONDITION OF Mr.. WADE
IS NOT FAVORABLE
Infected Wound Giving Him
Trouble

Friends of Mr.. Thomas ]. Wade, ono
of Sumter's substantial citizens re-
siding at Leslie, will regret the unfav-
orable change in his condition during
the past two days which, it is feared
may result in the amputation of his
right lower limb. MIR. Wade has been
suffering severely for three weeks
from an eruption which had it's orr
gin in scratch upon his limb, and
serious consequences are feared. An
operation upon the affected limb was
performed Monday, with the hope that
amputation of the member might be
averted.

Moved to New Prison

Saltwater Gazette: The change
of the administration Offices of the
state prison has been effected with
out interruption of the business of
the institution. The movement of
the Office effects that has been in
progress for some weeks wascom-
pleted on Wednesday of last week.
Thursday morning Warden VOL
fer in his attractive private Office
and a large clerical force in their
spacious and well appointed room
with new desks, were busy at work.
Anew register for visitors at the
new institution was placed in the
handsome reception room. The
first visitors after the formal open
ing to be shown through by the ush-
er were Marie Roberg of Saltwater
and Gust Johnson of Carlton.
The Office at the old prison is still
kept open. John J. Sullivan as dep
uty Warden is in charge there and
for some time to come new prison.
ers will be received at the old prison
and put through the Bertillon mea-
surements and inspection. The pris-
oners of the institution will also be
discharged at the old prison. F. A.
Whittier, as the agent of the state
parole board, has his desk in the
former office of the Warden. Joseph
E. Desautels and two other clerks
are left at The old prison to take
care of the books and papers there.

The baseball season was inaugu-
rated with great eclat at the Federal
Prison at Atlanta during the week.
The newspapers devoted half COL
umn to the event. But it must be
remembered that about nine tenths
of what is published in the public
prints about such things is jast pure
bunc." Even so the Federal au-
thorities are doing the handsome
thing.
Jim Thorpe has found that an all

improvement in his work.

The formal opening of Ebbetts
Field, the handsome new stadium Of
the Brooklyn Club took place last
week, when Brooklyn trounced the
New York Americans 80 before a
tremendous crowd. Next dav Mr..
Chances Co horts overwhelmed
Dahlen's team, so the series ended
in tie. 1t is said, however, that
Brooklyn is going to prove a pretty
hard nut to crack this year, as the
team seems to have filled the gaps
is playing like a house afre. May
be flash but let's hope not.
The American Association sched-
ule has had to be changed on ac-
count of the inability of the Indian
apolis and Columbus teams to play

team is likely to be seen at home

ahead and if he fails to make good,
discharge him and get some one who
can deliver the goods. This seems
far better than to have to wait UNI
til distant election day and then
be obliged to vote for some person
liability unknown) Who has political
influence enough to get on some par
ty ticket.
The directors of such city corpor-
alton should of course be elected,
but the duties could be made so free
of detail, and the honor attached to
membership on the board be placed
so high, that it should not be diff
cult to secure the services of splen-
did men such as we often secure on
school and university boards. Let
this board hire city manager who
In turn shall employ all other city
employees from treasurer down.
The city manager alone to be re-
sponsible to the commission, all
other heads of departments to bere-
sponsible to the city manager. I'm
der such system the responsibility
for city affairs can be placed where
it belongs and prompt steps taken
to correct ineficiency.
1t is not impossible to believe
that an ordinary city economically
managed, with its income from
franchises, licences, city water sup
ply and other utilities, could be
placed on a self-supporting, if not
profit making basis.
In this connection would say that
Mrs. +. III. Hartman some time ago
established fund, the income to be
used for the training of men in
municipal affairs. No field possesses
more possibilities. as here we have a
nation with thousands of cities
and towns crying for better
civil government. The day is COM
ing when the management of city
will be profession, and all of the
branches of city work will be con-
Quoted by capable men hired and
not elected. This will open an at
tractive field for our young men,
who, by preparing themselves in
business and technical training, may
perfect themselves to occupy per-
manent positions in city govern
ment.
| There is plenty of good material
in this country TO give us expert
and competent city employees, but
they would find it difficult to get
into the office they are best fitted
for, by the election route, where
real ability is 80 seldom considered.
In fact there is abundance of ability
and in many cities we see conditions
that are at direct variation from
all known laws of supply and de-
mand. The demand exists on the
part of the people for able govern
meut; there also exists in the same
city an ample supply of brains and
ability. Yet the supply and de-
mand are not brought together ow-
ing to some antique laws providing
that city officials shall be elected.
Such cumbersom and inefficient
system could have lived so long a
time only IN public affairs. In pri-
vate business it would have been
discarded long ago. Let us hope
that the pronunced dissatisfaction
now existing throughout the coun-
try, and the radical experiment be-
ing tried out at Sumter and else
where, may result in city govern
ment that will permit us to place the
right man in the right Office and
keep him there as long as he gives
us a Bus ness Administration"
