City RingsterS and Corporation
Agents Trying TO Rob the
Country People of Their
Legal Rights.

FOX 30 years the Country Counties of
Georgia peaceably enjoyed their lawful
share Of political power.
It was given them by the Democratic Con-
stitution Of 1877, framed by General Toombs,
Governor Jenkins, Judge Reese, General Law
ton, and other native Georgians who were not
influenced by the personal interests of any
candidate for office
The counties of the State were recognized
as SO many separate, distinct independent
corporations, each entitled to a fair share in
the control of public affairs
To the smallest county, was given one men,
Der of the House of Representatives.
To the 26 counties which came next in
population to the Blk Six. two members we're
given.
To the six largest counties three members
were given.
Thus, the County-uait plan Is fou11d IN full
force IN the Georgia legislature.
Do the country opponents of this plan be-
lieve that it should not apply to the legsla-
ture?
Does any member from any small county,
believe that Atlanta and Macon, Savannah
and Augusta should have a hundred times
more Representatives than Lincoln, McDufie,
Glasscock, Jenkins. Grady, Stephens &C.?
IF so, let us change the Constitution, and
surrender the legislature to the Big Six.
L
Hardwick and Fielder and Slaton partisans
who live in the samll counties, and who
fight their own interests because the City Boss
gives the word, ought to advocate a new Con-
sttuton in which Richmond County would
have 20 members to GlasscOck's one.
To be consistent those HOke Smith men
should 90 ri ght to work, and change the law,
so that Fulton County would have 40 times
more votes in the legislature than Lincoln.
Be consistent, gentlemen
Follow your own logic.
If, as you have been schooled to say, every
vote ought to be equal to every other vote,
then give Bib County 80 members of the
legislature. and let Jenkins and Grady and
Stephens and Ben Hill be content with one
apiece.
How would you like that?
Your mother-wit tells you that if you were
to make up your legislature on the popular
vote plan, the small country counties would be
absolutely lost in the shuttle.
The Blk Six would rule you and your
children, forever.
Do you want that?
If so. you can get it. How?
BY letting the City Politicians toll you
along, in the fight on the county unit plan,
until the popular vote plan has been fastened
upon your primaries.
Then the next step would be. to give each
of the Blk Six counties, one Senator.
Atlanta has already tried for that change,
but the pear wasn't ripe.
If Atlanta could insert the thin edge of the
wedge, and get Senator, all to herself, each
of the other five of the Blk Six would de-
mand and get the same thing.
In this way the balance of power between
large and small counties would be over
thrown.
Then Atlanta would claim as many more

Jack Frost has few terrors for the

who will take advantage of his spare
time and money TO make arrangements

When one can put a closed top on
a touring car or roadster, and turn II
into a limousine or coupe, run a pipe
from the muffier or radiator to heat
the interior, put on tire chains or non
skid treads to keep from skidding, and
pour alcohol into the cooling water to
keep from cracking the cylinders in
freezing weather, most of the old draw
backs to winter driving disappear, says
Motor Age.
If, for economical or other reasons,
the motorist is disinclined to be shut up
in an inclosed body and prefers to en-
joy the exhilaration of driving in the
open air. there is no reason for hesi-
tation; if one is afraid of his fingers
getting cold, he can buy quite reason

are electrically heated from a storage

Men as a class give but little thought

If your husbands hair is getting thin;
If he has dandruff or the scalp itches,

become a bald head.
Get from any drug or toilet counter
a 20 cent bottle of Partisan Sage. II
contains the exact elements to supply
hair and scalp needs. The first applica-
ton removes all dandruff-the great hair

well into the scalp for a rev nights Will

falling and the new growth appears use
every other night until the hair is thick
and abundant
Partisan Sage is a delightful and In
