ENGINEERS AND COUNTY OFF
GALS WILL MEET IN AT
LANTA TODAY.

ATLANTA, Nov. 15.-Many leading
try and 800 county commissioners of
the state will assembled here Tuesday
and Wednesday. They will attend a
joint meeting of the second annual
convention of the Association of
County Commissioners of Georgia,
and the road conference which has
been called by the Georgia School of
Technology.
The establishment of state high
way commission will be one of the
chitf topics of discussion. Although
Georgia is one of five or six states in
the union which have not adopted yet
this method of regulating and upbuild-
ing its roads, the proposition of estab-
fishing non-political board of this
nature has been urged time and again
missioners that such a bill will pass
the legislature next summer.
Among those who will take a promi-
nent part on the program of the joint
meetings are j. e. Pennybacker. chief
of the bureau of road economics, Unit
ed States government; u. d. Dunlap
assistant director general, National
Highway Association G. NJ Mitch

way engineering in Georgia School

PROHIBITION LAW CAUSES
A UNIQUE QUESTION

ATLANTA, Nov. 15.-While the
| locker clubs in Atlanta admit that
the new prohibition bill absolutely
abolishes their locker feature as at
present constituted, and all are al
ready planning to obey the law, there
remains the question of whether or
not the private individual member of
the club will not have at least the
same privileges in the club as he
would have in his own home.
In other words, the point is al
ready raised whether or not under the
new law, there is any objection to
or way to stop man from receiving
at his club instead of at his home the
amount of liquor allowed him under
the new law, placing it in his own
private locker at the club, and serv-
ing it there himself to himself and
his friends, exactly as he is allowed
to do at home.
1t is admitted that there is no pos
sibility of continuing to operate the
liquor end of the clubs as at present
constituted since it amounts to prac-
tically to the sale of liquor to the
members by the clubs, but whether
an individual member can have his
own whisky there in his own locker,
is going to be another entirely differ
ent question.

THE LALLYGAG.

g HE EALLIGAG.
The lallygag strolls down the lane
That leads to Failureville,
But he thinks he's coming back again
But he never, never will!
He turns aside to view the scenes
That tempt his artist eye.
He loafs and plucks the daffodils,
And prates of bye and bye.
Tomorrow, next year, some sweet day
He's going to achieve
TremsndQus ytriumphs of some sort,
If we can him believe.
But why should the lallygag
Deride by word or line?
For futile as his record is
It's very much like mine.
I'm always going to achieve
That which will make me great,
And win undying name and fame
When it is just too late.
So III not chide the lallygag
Because he wastes his days
He cannot help how he was born;
Those are his natural ways.
