The grand young county of Tate
that is 10 say. the would be &. y. C.
OF Tate-has come a-knocking at the
doors Of the Georgia Legislature with
"a brand new variety Of appeal, as
. unique as il is interesting.
The Tate boomers say that II the
Legislature will permit them TO snatch
out the particular chunk OF the granu
old Republican county OF Pickens
they have their eyes on, there. hence
forth, viii be no grand old Republican
county OF PiCkens!
In order TO get Tate's system fixed
up properly It is proposed to whack
Off the Republican end OF Pickens,
and then overwhelm 1t with Demo-
cratic sections of Gordon, Cherokee
and Barlow sufficient to make the
new county Democratic forever more
Not only h. Tate a good PROPOSE
ton" says "A Tate boomer. in town
looking after things. but Is a party
necessity
by creating Tate. the Legislature
win dispose OF one Republican county
in such wise az to make it Demo-
cratic thereafter, and gain another
Democratic county in addition there

is the ingenious argument the Tate
ties are undertaking to put over.
That there Is some alarm felt, too,
AZ the Roadway this argument may
make is evident from the fact that
the bigwigs Of Republican persuasion
In PiCkens are in Atlanta in punches
lighting the Tate scheme.
"Pickens already Is hollering stop
thief in the direction OF those vigil
liant and bold Democrats seeking to
put the Republican stronghold In
PiCkens where II will have to be good
but that is the very sort Of political
activity a Democratic Legislature
should approve" said Tateite to-

Augusta to spend a day there soon.
looking over the States property, par
tIcularly its medical college.
1T has been 1876 years since the
Georgia Legislature did Augusta the
honor TO assemble In it's midst-and
then Augusta was the capital OF the
State-and ] think II might look IN on
that great city one more time" said
Senator Duhose. who engineered the
invitation through the Senate.
Augusta Is very proud OF the med
ical college and II does think the
State might honor II by inspecting it,
through its legislature. at least once
every % years."
The Senate INDUCED itself in the
same think. and so the General As

pet name.
These farmers came to Atlanta IN
% special train. and they are as busy
Js can be, talking to the members
of the Legislature to-day, assuring
them that they never in this world
IAN be happy unless Gambler County
is created.
They say u Is an absolutely neces-
Sary thing in the matter OF good
roads in their vicinity, II nothing else
With Meter as the county seat, the
roads around and about Gambler soon
would be among the best in the State
and farmers nowadays are very
strong for good roads

"a more picturesque or effective dele
