WINONA PARK WILL
BE OPENED SOON
WaycrOss to Have Up-tO-Date Place #
Amusement.

Waycross, Ga, April 2S.-Plans are
being made for public opening of
Winona park, the city's new place of
amusement, which has been under the
course of construction for year. The
park probably will be thrown open the
latter part of May or early in June. The
lake, which will be one of the features
and around which will be numerous
amusements, is being gotten in condi-
ton to hold water, the dam being near
ly completed.
Across the lake a unique ornamental
bridge leads to the Empire State league
baseball park, where all city league
and college contests will be played this
year, as well as the usual league
games. The baseball park this year
will be under the direct management
of the local Y NJ. C. A.
Numerous walks through the park
have been laid out and a general
+, cleaning up has added very greatly II
the appearance of the place The
street car company has erected COW
cred station at the parks entrance for
the convenience OF the visitors and
finds it hard to handle the heavy traf-
fc to the place on holidays and Sun
days.
City council has aided the amuse-
ment proposition by granting a spa
cial license for this year. This will
enable the park to operate many moro
amusements than would otherwise
have been possible.

new COUNTIES
Will BE URGED
upon ASSEMBLY
MORE new ONES PROPOSED
Next Legislature to Pass on
Matter

Atlanta, April 2S-The new county
movement is rapidly taking shape and
applications vii be made to the Legis-
lature this summer for the creation o.
something like half dozen new Geor-
gia counties. These movements are
all being worked up in advance of the
legislative session. Headquarters have
been organized, committees appointed
and hard work is being done at every
possible point to create sentiment in
favor of these new divisions
One of the movements which has as
ST med definite shape and has behind it
some of the strongest influences is
that which proposes to create the new
county of Stonewall out of portions of
Emanuel and Tattnall, with Stillmore
as the county site.
Stillmore is oe of the most progress
sive towns in Southeast Georgia, ana
its people have long desired that indie
pendence which would come from hav-
ing a county of their own.
But Stilmore is going to have the
fight of its life with the equally enter
prising town of Meter, located in the
western portion Of Bulloch county The
people of Meter are trying to create
the new county of Gambler, to be nam
ed in honor of the late Gov. Allen d
Gambler, and to be composed of por-
tions of Bulloch, Tattnall and Eman-
uel counties.
1t is understood that they have an
equally strong organization, and the
fight is on between these two as to
which shall be the site of the new
county, to be formed in this section.
From a political standpoint, how
ever, the fight which the town of Win
der, in the northeastern section of the
state, will make will, perhaps eclipse
them all For fixe years or more
effort to become site of new county.
Situated on the line of Jackson, Wal
ton and Gwinnett counties, parts of il
are, it might be said, in all three of
them. Winder wants to take some CT
the territory of each in forming a new
county
1t has generally been conceded by
those who have watched the new coun-
ty movements in Georgia, that Win
der's claim Is one of the most meritor-
icus that has ever been presented to
the Legislature, both as to location,
pc pulation, richness and importance
of territory, but for various reasons
its effort has been defeated from year
to year.
There will be several other new
county movements before the Legisla-
ture this year, and there will be the
same general opposition to all move
ments seking to create new counties
However, this is new Legislature
and it is not impossible that the move
rents may get more encouragement
than they have had in the past
