Inc Duke 8 ~
u c c Ssor,
the sixth Duke, who only died in 1914,
became in turn prominent figure at
Queen Victoria s Court, while his wife,
who held for many years the office of
Mistress Of the Robes, was the Queen 8
most intimate friend among the nobil-
ity. This Duchess was quite widely
celebrated as the leader of the most
conservative, dignifed set in British So
ciety, an upholder of the best Victorian
traditions. She was at one time strong
ly opposed to the admission of any
American to English society because
they were too lively and otherwise OBJ
jectionable.
If this Duchess should learn in her
last resting place that certain little
American artists were laying claim to
the Buccleuch ducal estates, there
would perhaps be another restless, tor
mented ghost walking the ancestral cor
ridors.

sion Unnecessary and Burden.
BRUNSWICK.-There will be one
county in the state which will not be
represented in the recent call issued
by Governor Nat Harris for an extra
session for the purpose of passing a
"bone dry" law, and that county
will be Glynn. From reports in he
papers of the state Representative
Dart will have great deal of "ab-
sent" company, as many of the pres
ent representatives share the opinion
of Mr.. Dart and will not attend.
Judge Dart was a strong supporter
of Governor Harris, but believes his
extra session call unnecessary and a
great burden to the stae. Repre-
sentative Dart is an old veteran, and
he served with Governor Harris when
he represented Bibb county in the
legislature many years ago.
Many of the supporters of the gov
ernor in both campaigns express re-
gret that he has seen fit to call the
session. Many think it a political
move, pure and simple.

E. Lockett several weeks ago at one

selling intoxicating spirits, and one
for borrowing an automobile with a
last year license tag.
The last two have entered pleas of
guilty before Judge Edwards, in the
city court. "Son" Reed, the liouor
merchant, was given fine of SIS or
eight months road service, while
Jesse Wilson, the automobile "bor-
rover" was fined $40 or six months
for not having 1917 license. He
was not prosecuted by the owner of
the car, Mr.. Farkas, of Albany, for

Road Work Fails Again.

The road work has proved to be
another fash in the pan, and the
car load of machinery shipped here
last week by Harris & Myers, road
contractors has been rebilled to
them at Covington after sitting on
the switch here for q week, never
being unloaded. Just what was the
reason for so doing no one here
knows. Machinery by the car load
has been shipped in here by this
firm three times TO work with and
it has been shipped away as many
times and only $1,000 worth of
work done since they began in
April A few months ago they
shipped ten new wheel scrapers
here, a car load, had them unloaded
and set up. They were here
about sixty days, during which
time they kept foreman here at
high salary. these scrapers, to-
gether with all their other new and
expensive machinery, were then
shipped away without the new
"wheelers" ever having been placed
in the dirt, or any work at all be-
ing done with any of their machin-
cry. We know that the Court has
done a.! within its power to get the
work done, and the last effort when
it made an order last Monday reg
ulating the pay for this work, is all
that could be asked to guarantee
the pay.
There are men in the County
who will take the contract for this
work at the same price the COM
pany was to get If the Court will
advertise for bids again, the lines
will find a man in the County that
will do this and the whole thing can
be run through yet in time to save
last years and this years state aid.
Why not this be done, and done at
once? 1t must be done at once to
hold state aid.

Game Scarce.

Hunters report game as beng
very scarce this time. They al.
SO encounter some difficulty IN
getting farm lands to hunt over.
Not that farmers care so much
for the game, hut by allowing
the good men who are cautious
in the handling of their guns,
they open the way for boys and
careless persons TO hunt. This in
the past has frequently resulted
in the killing of live stock on the
farms. This makes the farmers
very cautious and causes many
of them to refuse those persons
whom they would enjoy hunting
on their lands

Favors Tax-Against Bonds.

That State Road Commissioner,
Rodman Wiley, favors the voting
Of a plain 20 cents road tax instead
of bond issue is very conclusive
from the articles he is sending out
to the press for publication. The
plain road tax enables you to build
the roads with all the tax money
collected instead of paying interest
on bonds with two thirds of the tax
money, and using all the surplus in
trying to keep up the road built
with the bond money. Mr.. Wiley
prides himself that but one County
in the State Ml IS voted bonds since
he came into Office. This does not
signify that road building has been
curtailed for it has not. 1t has
greatly increased under his man
and he is doing all in his
power to hold the back state aid
for Powell.
