COLUMBUS MAN
CHOSEN WHEN
z RIVALS QUIT
Election OF Muscogee
Man Unanimous
Hardwick Defeat

ATLANTA, June 22.-Legislation
reorganizing the finances Of the state
promised to be among the most i'm.
portant matters to come before the
1921 session of the Georgia legis.
lature, which opened here today.
The senate organized by the elec-
tion of Herbert Clay, of Marietta, as
president.
In the house, the last minute with
drawals of Judge Harper Hamilton,
of Floyd county, and Howard Ennis,
of Baldwin county, resulted in the
unanimous election of Cecil Neill, of
Muscogee, as speaker.
Plans have been completed for the
inauguration of Governor-elect
Thomas W. Hardwick at noon Sat
urday.
Election of Mr.. Neill is regarded
as a defeat for the incoming admins
tration, Governor-elect Hardwick
having put himself personally into the
fight for the election of Mr.. Ennis.
Although Mr., Neill has not been an
anti-Hardwick man, and his manager,
Judge E. E. Cox, of Camilla, has been
strong Hardwick man in the
past, it was generally conceded that
the election of Mr. Neill would cen
stitute victory for the opponents of
the incoming administration. The
organization in the senate was on
strictly administration lines.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Neill's op-
ponents followed a Neill caucus last
night at his headquarters. Man after

ton, many of them men who stood
behind him in his last senatorial fight,

applying the Hardwick party call up

Famed Roman Corso
Losing Ancient Marks

, ROME, June 22-Slowly the god
of commerce is grinding away a little
at time the romance and antiquity
of this cradle of civilization.
The Corso, from the time of the
Roman emperors the busiest thor
oughfare of the city, is losing it's an
cient character. The four huge tri-
umphai arches which once spanned
the street, were destroyed centuries
ago. Palaces and churches were
left. but the palaces are falling be-
fore the irresistible demands of
commerce.
Two huge old palaces occupying
site halfway up the Corso have al
ready gone down before the COM
mercial onslaught. In their places
have been reared two big, gaudy
structures to be occupied by banks,
which stand out in bold contrast to
the quiet coloring of the ancient
gems Of architecture.
When the palaces are not torn
down they are modified in such a
way, that the interior decoration,
some Of which has stood the test of
centuries, is effaced and sometimes
plastered. Numerous alterations are
made to suit the necessities of busi-
ness.
In the quarter where the church of
St. John Lateran is located a new
amusement company has taken pos
session of large square of vacant
ground and has erected carrousels,
roller-coasters, ferris-wheels and side
shows. The romance and beauty of
the spot has vanished. a.

The fame of Sumter county roads

B. N. Summerour, of Marietta.

pose of inspecting the recently paved

Mr.. France was delighted to take his

soonest farms throughout the county.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Summer

said that he thought sufficient pres
sure might be brought to bear on him
to induce him to sell his holdings in
Cobb in exchange for Sumter county

much time and money to the adj
vancement of his farm. He is con-

VI EN- DOON
President Harding and Secretary
of State Hughes are everlastingly
right in their efforts to create equa
opportunity for ali nations in the de
velopment of natural resources
throughout the world.
The latest evidence that this is
the fixed policy of the administra.
tion is contained in the Hughes note
to the Dutch government protesting
against American nationals being
deprived of their reciprocal rights to
exploit the oil fields in the Dutch
East hides.
Yhey are reciprocal rights be-
cause Dutch citizens as we'll as the
citizens of other nations, are per-
mitted to share in the development
of oil properties in the United States.
This note to the Dutch logically
follows the one sent to the British
about the oil fields in Mesopotamia
The point of view of foreign gov
ernments whose citizens walk into
our open door and then blandly shut
their doors in the faces of American
citizens on the same errand, is hard
to understand.
They seem to operate on the the
ory that what's ours is their and
what's theirs is their own.
If that is the idea the sooner they
get it out of their heads the better.

WISE WILLIAM

The June wedding epidemic is al
ways accompanied by much advice
for brides and grOoms.
The problem of how to be happily
married is as old as the institution
of marriage, and has exercised the
best minds in all ages.
William Penn, one of the wisest of
men, wrote the best advice on the
subject, 250 years ago. He said:
Never marry but for love; but see
that thou lowest what is lovely.
Between man and wife nothing
ought to rule but love.
'As love ought to bring them to-
gether, SO it is the best way to keep
them together"

A hundred years hence, the stu

newspapers, will be interested in a
recent item under this head line:
NO MORE AUTOS
FOR STUDENTS
The item reported the action of the
authorities of a western university
who had ordered students to send
their automobiles home.
The historian, commenting upon
this state of affairs probably will
write:
In the year 1921 indulgence in
luxury had come to such a pass as
to interfere seriously with the pro-
cesses of higher education. In one
university it became necessary to
prohibit the use among students of
motor cars. The America that had
pointed with pride to its self-educat-
ed men had passed"
Still it is not as bad as that. For
every joy-riding student there are a
dozen padding their own canoes.
