Has Picked Judge Roam

Interesting comment is made on the
fact that Judge Nash r. Broyles of the
Atlanta recorders court, who Will be
in the race for Judge of the court of ap-
peals next year. has picked Judge l. s.
Roam rather than Judge r. B. Russell,
the presiding Judge, against whom he
will make his race
1t is evident that Judge Broyles has
not made his choice without careful
consideration and consultation with his
friends. There are reasons why he
made this choice, and there is interest
ing speculation as to what these rea-
sons are.
In a general way 1t is obvious that
the easiest candidate TO defeat. The
reasons for that conclusion, 1t Is fgur-
ed, center around the question as to
how we'll known these two judges are
over the state. 1t is said to have been
figured by Judge Broyles' friends that
Judge Russell was best known not only
because he has been so long on this
bench, but because of his various state
campaigns for governor and other Of
fices, and that therefore, he probably
has more political friends scattered
widely over the state than has Judge
Roam, who has never made state cam
paign, and who is perhaps best known
as the Judge who presided over the
trial of Leo M. Frank, convicted of
the murder of Mary Phagan.
Then there is another reason which
some of Judge Broyles' friends are CIV
ing. Judge Roam Is a resident of At

COURT OF APPEALS
TO HAVE HARD FIGHT
At NEXT SESSION
Probable That Georgia Leg
islature Will Abolish the
COurt-WOhlwender
Against 1t

Atlanta, December 20 Especial )--In-
dications point to the fact that the
state court of appeals is going to have
a fight for life before the legislature
at its next session. The recent state
ment of Representative Ed wohlwen-
der of Muscogee. made In Atlanta, to
the effect that he would introduce a bill
at the next session to abolish this court
is taken by the friends of the court to
mean more than simply the expression
of opinion on the part of one member
Mr. Wohlwender Is the majority floor
leader in the house. and statement
of this sort coming from him is taken
to mean that he has talked it over with
some of the other prominent members.
and that more than one Is back of the
proposal. While Mr. Wohlwender has
taken full responsibility for his state
ment, this Is the way some of the fore
most friends of the court are viewing
it. and they are already scenting the
possibilities of hard struggle.
Mr. Wohlwender's principal objection
to the court is that some of its decis-
ions conflict with decisions from the
supreme court. all of which gets the
bar and the legal situation In the state
into somewhat of tangle, notwith-
standing the fact that wherever there
is conflict. the supreme court decision
prevails
The present judges of the court of
appeals are In no manner involved in

LEAVE TODAY FOR
KOLb CONFERENCE
Supporters Meet at Mont.
gOmery Tuesday to Launch
Progressive Campaign


To promote the candidacy of Capt.
Reuben F. Kolb, a number of Birmingham
men will leave this afternoon for Mont
gomery where on Tuesday win occur a
statewide conference of the friends of this
candidate for the office of governor.
Local men who will be present are Pey-
ton G. Bowman. Joseph V. Allen, George
w. Pratt, w. C. Agee, w. II. Arlington,
Scott e. Chestnut and Dr. G. B. Grove.
Col. Frank V. Ti1ford of Cullman passed
through Birmingham yesterday en- route
to the scene of the conference.
1t is understood that every county of
the state will be represented at the Kol5
conference. and that the matter of
launching an aggressive campaign in
every section of the state will be dis
cussed. The Kolb followers are enthusi-
astic in the caues of their candidate, and
believe that he will be elected the next
governor of the state

the movement. In fact Mr.. Wohlwen-
der has stated that along with aboli-
tion of the court of appeals he would
urge the addition of the present three
Judges of that court to the supreme
court. and the division of the supreme
court into criminal and civil divisions
Whatever Is done there is little doubt
about the fact that Georgia will soon
have to increase rather than diminish
her appellate court facilities Both of
the appellate courts now have all they
can do, and 1t Is matter of only a
few years before further extensions
Will have to be made In one direction
or the other. The question is whether
this can best be done through a single
court as the supreme court. or by MAIN
tanning the two courts, adding to them
as necessity demands and further DIFF
Terminating their powers.
1t Is certain In any event that the
court or appeals cannot be abolished
without the creation of full equiva-
lent to take care of the present bust
ness, and that In the very near future
a further increase In facilities win be
demanded.

Matters of much interest were brought

held at Washington.
Mrs. Jacobs stated that the object of
the congressional hearing at Washington
was not SO much to argue the cause of
equal suffrage as 1t was to endeavor to
have Congress appoint a committee or
equal suffrage similar TO the one now ex-
listing In the Senate. Referring to Mr.
Helms speech, Mrs Jacobs declared
that he indulged in SMILES and metaphors

sonable or logical, and that he discussed

Referring to the difficulty to get a mat
ter before the judiciary committee Mrs
Jacobs declared that the committee was
so overworked with trivial matters that
1t had no time for the more importan,
matter of equal suffrage
Miss Amelia Worthinston made a re-
pert on the recent lecture of Mrs. Char
lotte Perkins Gilman. showing the lec-
ture a success beth from a financial
standpoint and the advancement of the
suffrage cause. She also reported on the
vention at Washington, and said thai
Chattanooga woule probably be selected
as the next place of meeting of the ma
tional convention.
1t was decided to have a "get-together''
meeting of the members of the local as
sociation and their friends to be held
the first Monday after Christmas This
entertainment will be in the form of
tea to which all persons interested in
equal suffrage are invited. Definite ar
rangements for the tea have not been
made, but will be announced later.
Mrs. Cabot Lull addressed the meeting
in behalf of the Anti-Tuberculosis as
scciation, and asked the cooperation of
of the Red Cross Christmas seals The
members present unanimously voted to
assist In this work.

fore the meeting, including a financial

Didn't Have the Money

One of Georgia's we'll known solicit
tors general came to Atlanta this week
for the purpose, among other things, of
drawing his quarterly stipend of S6250
from the state treasury.
When he applied for 1t. however, he
found the treasury door locked against
him, so to speak, and discovered that
he could not expect to collect in time
for Christmas. unless the tax collectors
of Georgia Immediately become more
diligent in sending their collections in
to the treasury.
The state has more than $1,000 to
pay out on January 1, and that much
money has not yet come in the re-
suit of the collection of taxes this fall.
Consequently state officials are going
slow in the matter of paying out
money Everybody who can walt must
walt until 1t becomes apparent as the
result of rapid collections that the state
is going to have plenty of funds.

The work by school children has been

Notwithstanding the fact that 1t Is
now a Legislative recess and a long one,
the new county movants are still on
the job and some quiet work is being
done to bring influences to bear to
help put some of them over next year.
Evidence of this became apparent
with the presence here in consultation

Systematic manner there will be such de-

LAND CONGRESS NOTES
by n. r. THOMPSON
Secretary and G eneral ManaRt

The crops of Alabama for 1918 will ap-
proximate In value the sum of s175, 600.
This staggering amount OF money is new
ly created wealth that will enter into the
channels CT commerce and development
for the coming year, and is SO far in ex-
cess of any crops heretofore grown in Ala
bama as to indicate period of great
prosperity for this state during the new
year of 1914
Under the new currency bill this newly
created wealth arising from crops will
not flow to the one and only money CEN
ter that has called in all the reserve cur
rency of the country to become available
there for stock speculation, but it will
remain in the regions where produced and
be subject first to local uses and invest
ments. This change is pretty certain to
be felt almost at once in the agricul-
tural development of Alabama.
This state has been behind all the other
states of the south in making proper
provisions for attracting settlers until
the lands of all the others have advanced
sreatly beyond those of Alabama So that
this state now holds the cheapest avail
able farm lands on the american CONT
nent, and if the people of Alabama will
but avail themselves of this fact there
will be such an influx of settlers as the
state has never known.
