for beautiful Miss Madeline sullivan,
Chicago society girl who made the

COUNTY GIVES AID
To YANCEY FAMILY

The County Board of Commission
ers Tuesday morning voted unari-
mously to pay Mrs. Yancey $50 i
month for six months, in recogniti1n
of the services of her husband. the
late court deputy, David Yancey. and
of the destitute circumstances in
which the family was placed by his
death.
This action was taken after the
Grand Jury appeared in a body be-
fore the board and requested that
something be done for the relief of
the family
Marion Jackson and John J. Eagan,
representing the Men and Religion
Forward Movement and the Atlanta
Evangelical Association. appeared be-
fore the commissioners to protest
against the resolution offered by Cap
tain Thomas J. Donaldson. providing
for the appointment of a chaplain for
each convict camp in the county
with only one assistant. The board
referred the matter to the Public
Works Committee.

Julian Hawthorne. register 4485 at

publication declares that the chief
difference between the men inside the

respects to His ExCellency.
Governor Slaton is one of the most
genuinely popular men who ever oc-
cupied the Executive office in Geor-
gia and his friends are so used to
walking in on him. any old time. any
Old place. any old fashion, that they
evidently find il hard TO realize that
he is, at last, Governor. and that
being Governor means being pretty
busy most of the time.
The Governor has a hearty hand
shake and a pleasant word for all
who do the honor 10 call, however,
and so if he can shake hands as
many times as he does and get away
with the governing business too, why
well, that his style, that's all

The general impression among Leg
islators is that both President Ander-
son and Speaker BurweH acquitted
themselves very well in the distrlbu-
ton of the committee assignments in
the Senate and the House
The matter Of appointing commit
tees in the Senate and House not only
is a problem Of perplexing ramiiea-
tons but takes much Of the time and
most astute analytical ability Of the
presiding officers in getting things adj
tustcd.
Both the President and the Speaker
broke all records in getting their
committees framed up and published
within a week The rule heretofore
has been ten DAYS or more
There are some members Of the
Senate who are dissatisfied with the
committee assignments, however. and
particularly Is this so among the
advocates Of many of the various new
counties proposed.
II Is pointed out by some of these
persons that, while the House Com
mlttee on Constitutional Amendments
is composed of members VINO have
taker no stand one way or the other
in the creation Of new counties. the
Sena e committee has on it several
members who are openly against the
creation Of any new counties.
Vtce Chairman Burtz for instance
of the Senate committee, is openly
opposing new counties.
The Constitutional Amendment
Committees will settle the fate of the
new counties. and IT, therefore. may
readily be seen how this dissatis
faction arises.
"a is evident that the present Legis-
laJure is to be on of thoroughly
businesslike qualities.
The Hon. Bart" Cox. boss of Gil
mer County" is in Atlanta. Mr.. Cox
while not the least bit popular with
those who do not admire his style Of
political beauty is mighty popular
amoug the members of the Legisla-
-ure, not a few of whom know him
very well.
He says he is not down here try
ing to put any thing over in particu-
lar but that he is a free citizen Of
grand old Gilmer. and he feels it his
duty to look in on the Legislature
and see hiw his Representative are
behaving themselves.
IL they behave to suit him, all right;
If not, they may hear from him the
next time election day comes around
And when the Honorable Bart"
IS heard from there generally is some
noise.
If John NJ. Slaton finds ample time
nowadays to attend to the business
of governing Georgia, he is a wonder
which some folks say he is, Of
course
His offices are thronged with WISH
tors every day. and those with real
1 business are far outnumbered by
