d.. C. Houston, one of his deputies,
reached the door just in time to see
Williams leap from the second story
window to a porch roof. Before the
yard could be reached he had fled. His

/DORRIS is NOW
AN INSURGENT
CRISP REPRESENTATIVE LOST
NEW SENATORIAL DISTRICT
BILL TO ATLANTA AND NORTH
GEORGIA PIRATES.

Representative W. H. Doris. of
Crisp county is an insurgent with the
remaining senators and representa-
tives of central and south Georgia
He came home all "roughed up" about
the methods used in Atlanta and north
Georgia regarding the capitol removal
legislation and has been talking and
talking ever since.
Ii Representative Doris has a cor
rect view of the situation, campaigns
are to be conducted in the future
with the capitol removal matter as an
issue. Those representatives and SEN
Iators who worked SO hard for central
kand south Georgia's interest at the
Summer session of the legislature
have promised themselves to stake
everything for a strong representa-
ton next time that will make it pos
sible to take care of this section of
the state.
> The senatorial redistribution meas
ure introduced by Representative Dor
ris and passed through the house and
later defeated in the senate, gave him
clear acquaintanceship with the tao
tics used to keep south and central
Georgia from a stronger representa-
ton in the legislature. Friends of the
new measure argued that central and
south Georgia were entitled in the
law-making body to the same proper
tionate representation in the senate as
has north Georgia. Three counties
make up senatorial district in North
Georgia while as many as five and six
counties are in one district in south
Georgia. Crisp would have been in
a new three county district if the
changing had been permitted.
Senators and representatives in
south and central Georgia are deter
mined to have the senatorial districts
cut down, according to Representa-
five Doris and the fight is to be re-

His letter follows:
"The weevil proposition here is an

been stung.
There are nearly 5000 people here
in pretty town. In front Of a large
post office building I found cotton on
a vacant lot. At three o'clock this af-
ternoon | went into the small plot
and pulled seven squares and found
five Weevils in the seven forms.
"The country, the growths, the size
of the cotton and the sell are all very
similar to the conditions in Crisp.
"The weevil has 'mopped up with
cotton here and all the way back into

this county Houston, told me on the
street this afternoon that he had
