WANT
HIGHLAND PAVED.
Ask Improvements From Fort
Street to Bridge Over the
Belt Line.

Petitions are being circulated by
property owners in Highland Avenue
for the repaving Of the thorough
fare from Fort Street to the bridge
over the belt line of the Southern
Railway.
This portion of Highland Avenue
was paved with Belgian blocks about
20 years ago.
IF anyone can spend a night in
Highland Avenue from Fort Street
to the bridge without being awaken
ed a dozen times they are deaf"
said a resident. THE sewer depart
ment has torn up the. paving several
times and replaced it. The water
works department has torn up the
paving and replaced 1t many times.
The gas company has torn lit up in
Vulnerable times. The telephone
company has also took a turn at
tearing up the paving. until II is as
uneven and rough as the hide Of a
politician and as noisy as a Fourth
of July orator. Why, even the street
cars have become infected with the
noise microbe-especially those In the
early morning. A drum corps in full
operation would be soothing in Its
quietness to Highland Avenue at al
most any hour of the day.
And this leads me to remark that
il is only a question of a short time
until a viaduct will be built over
the Butler Street dip, making the
ending of Highland Avenue at Pied
mont and Harris Streets. This is
another improvement which will be
taken up Just as soon as the street
Is repaved with a smooth paving
The Importance of Highland Avenue
is greater than that Of almost any
other street on the North Side next
to Peachtree, and 1t will be good
business to repave the street and
build the viaduct across darktown."

PUBLIC COMFORT
STATION BOOSTED
Leading Citizens IndOrse Move
ment and Suggest Plans for
Its Consummation.

The movement for a public COM
fort station in Atlanta has received
impetus in the few days since it was
launched. through Endorsement by
leading citizens.
The plan most favored is to place
the station at some central point and
equip it with biootblack stands. news
stands, writing desks, telephones and
similar conveniences, having sufi-
Client attendants to maintain 1t in a
sanitary manner 1t is proposed to
have it under the supervision of the
police department.
L. c. Green, a member Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, suggested Friday
that the station be constructed south
OF the Peters Building, beneath the
steps leading down to Wall Street,
or that the Pryor Street underpass
be used by closing the pass midway
and using the north end for women
and the south. end for men, remodel
ing the underpass to meet the pur-
pose.
THE money for this plan very
easily could be raised by the City
Council" said Mr.. Green, but If the
city did not desire to engage in the
project, l believe there are plenty of
enterprising men with money who
would build such a place and lease II
from ten to twenty years to some re-
liable man who could have a soda
fount cigar stand, news stand, boot
black stand and other conveniences.

Instinct Put Before
Eugenics by Doctor

NEW YORK. June 27.-Comment-
ing on the declaration of DR.. H. r.
Morris at a medical convention in
Chicago that a Federal eugenic law
would result in a Spartan race. DR.
James W. Walsh, medical expert, said
instinct was preferable to artificial
regulations.
THE Spartans." he asserted, were
the best fighting machines the world
ever had, but they have not left us
single intelligent idea. Athens, of the
same size as Sparta, with the same
race and climate, left the world m
immense heritage of ideas without
any of this eugenic nonsense"

with his friends in Atlanta of late,
and says he has been greatly encour-
aged in his ambitions to represent
the Sixth District in the National
House OF Representatives.
The contest between Mr.. Wise and
Judge Bartlett last time was very
close, and another race between
them would be exceedingly spectacu-
lar. 1t has been rather persistently
rumored, however. that Judge Bart
lett will not seek reelection to the
House, as he will have rounded out
an even 20 years in Congress at the
expiration of his present term.
Judge Bartlett has made no formal
statement OF his intention to retire,
however, as Congressman Hardwick
has, and it may be that he will run
again. II he does not, it seem likely
that Mr.. Wise may. receive the Office
without opposition.
Uncle Billie" Wilson, of the last
House Of Representatives, is down
from Gwinette, shaking hands with
the boys"
Uncle Billie" is one of the gener-
ally popular veterans that spend
good deal of time in the Capital dur
ing legislative sessions, and there
are few men within the State better
posted on things than he. He is an
optimist, and does not believe that
things are headed for the demnition
bOwwows, and he never views with
alarm. Pointing with pride is his
long suit, and he gets away with it
splendidly.
Judge Augustus w. F1te, of the
Cherokee Circuit, fighter, friend of
the people, foe Of the Demon Rum,
and so forth and so on, is in Atlanta.
Judge Fite may be persona non
grata in some neighborhoods, but he
always is the center of an admiring
group in the Kimball lobby, and when
he is talking, the audience most al
ways is sitting up and taking notice.
He is courageous, and doesn't in the
least mind saying what he thinks
about people and things, whether his
hearers agree or no.
Just now, the Judge is earnestly
advocating reform in the way of rail-
road grade crossings in Georgia, and
he thinks that something should and
must be done along that line pretty
soon.
He thinks the matter should be ad-
justed in fairness and equity to the
roads as well as the people, however.

The Kimball House lobby nowadays
is a bewildering mass of placards an
nouncing the various reasons why
this, that and the other new county
should be created by the present Leg
islature.
In all, there are a bakers dozen Of
new counties knocking at the door of
The Legislature for admission, and at
least two or three of them are beins
viewed with considerable favor.
The proposed new county of Can
der, to be fashioned of slices of those
three monster counties-Bulloch.
Tattnall and Emanuel-was the first
one to get before the Legislature for
consideration On the opening day p
bill was introduced calling for a GER
tificate of birth from the General AS
sembly for Gambler.
This county seems likely to win
out. It generally is looked upon rs
a sound proposition. and many legis-
lators are outspoken in their advocacy
Of it.
The present Legislature is not hos
tile to the new county idea, when the
idea is meritorious, and It generally
is agreed that Gambler is.
Indeed. the impression IS that the
sole test the General Assembly Will
put upon proposed new counties Will
be that of merit. If it is good prop
osition, really and truly, it will stand
fine chance to go through il it ism t.,
it viii stand little, if any. chance.
That seems to be the beginning and
the ending of the situation the new
counties are up against. -,
1t undoubtedly seems to be true
that every new county created by the
Legislatures in the past few years has
very materially increased tax returns,
and there is general satisfaction in
every one of them.
1t is not probable that all of the
new county propositions will go
through, but it seems likely that sew
eral of them may.
And, anyway, Gambler the first en-
try, looks like pretty good bet.
The percentage of lawyers in the
present House of Representatives is
remarkably small.
There are only thirty-one attorneys
in the House, which is hardly more
than half the usual number.
Notwithstanding this fact, however
the percentage of city Legislators in
the present House is considerably in
excess of the rural membership.
All in all, the new Legislature i'm

President Anderson presided over
the General Assembly in joint session
for the first time Thursday,
The joint session, being on the job
for the first time in its life, apparently
didn't know how to behave,
It loafed along on its work in an
embarrassed and hesitating sort of
fashion for a few moments, twirling
it's thumbs, or words to that effect
until President Anderson finally arose
and said: Wont some Senator kind
ly introduce a resolution providing fol
tellers, so we can proceed with the
count for Governor and State House
officers2"

demands of the occasion and offered
the resolution, as the President had
suggested, and after that everything
was pretty enough!
Through inadvertence the Inherit
ance tax bill offered on Wednesday
by Mr. Swift, of Muscogee, was given
out as having been offered by his
colleague, Mr.. Slade. The wrong name
got on the bill somehow.
Mr.. Slade is supporting his assoc
GATES bill, but has no desire to take
credit for its composition, as credit
for that belongs to Mr.. Swift.

members of the new House and has
never been to the Legislature before.
