WASHINGTON NOTES
(By @. b. Likens)

Already preparations are in prog
ress for the Inauguration Of the
next president on March the fourth.
President Wilson broke some pre-
cedents, one of which was to leave
out the inaugural ball, and now
Senator Harding proposes to do
some breaking himself. One is that
he will cast aside the carriage
drawn by "Old Dobbin" and ride
down Pennsylvania Avenue at the
head OF the parade in an automo-
bile. The old time ball is to be re-
viyed but the committee is having
much trouble in securing a place
for the crowd who will want to
trim the light fantastic" Objec-
tons have been interposed to the
use Of the Pension building on the
ground that it would practically
cause a suspension of the work in
that Bureau for two or more
months. This objection may be
overridden, however, by those in
charge on the theory that "If bust
ness interferes with pleasure, we
should cut out the business" An
other problem confronting the COM
mittee is that of placing the differ
ent units in positions satisfactory
to all participants. For instance,
the "Colored Brethren" say that
heretofore they have been assigned
a place in the parade to themselves,
but this time they expect to be sand
wiched and commingled with the
white folks" without discrimina-
ton. Congress is asked to appro-
pirate s50,000.0O to help defray the
expenses of the celebration and
doubtless this request will be grant
ed, not withstanding the fight made
by some members who oppose what
they claim is an extravagant use of
the peoples money. One Congress
man stated that he favored an old
time simple ceremony, and referred
to the first Inauguration he attend
ed at which he stood in one place
with water from his umbrella run
ming down his back and saw and
heard all that took place.

Humber who is treasurer, and Mrs.
S. H. Mckee D. r. Andrews, Mrs. r.
E. Cato, Mrs. j. W. Harris, il. and

Cone of the first things 7 shall do, y
said Mr.. Cargill, is to call meeting
of those who have contributed to the
playground and ali others who are
interested in it. At this meeting
there will positively not be one cent
asked for or accepted. We merely
want to get together for suggestions
from every one, and incidentally, if
there is any one with kick, we want
that, too.
"At this meeting we intend to
form our working plans and see just
where we stand financially and other
wise. The playground is open to
every one and we want to see it
used to its fullest extent"
AT the meeting a resolution was

no street lights, the lights out in many
homes, everything as dark as Egypt

much credit is due.
While waiting for the big press 70

BOTH HOUSES
ADJOURN OVER
JULY 4 HOLIDAY
Senate To Attend Alta
maha Bridge Opening
Saturday

ATLANTA, June 3O.-After
short session today both houses of
the Georgia iegislaturd adjourned
until July 5, when Governor Hard
wick will address a joint session on
special recommendation regarding
the states financial condition. This
message was scheduled for tomorrow.
The senate today completed plans
for members to attend the opening of
the Altamaha bridge at Darien Sat-
urday.
Referring to the cabinet meeting
Wednesday which decided to recon-
mend to the legislature cut of one
half of all unexpended 1921 appro-a
priations and recovery to the treas
ure of the saving, Governor Hard
wick said;
"Of course the heads of DEPART
ments were not happy over the pros
pect Of having their appropriations
cut in half for the remainder of the
year, but they were willing to bow
to the inevitable and do the best they
could in an effort to solve the states
financial problems.
The states total appropriations for
1921 were $9,000,000 in round num-
bers. approximately one-half of
that amount has been expended in
the first half of the year. A cut,
therefore, of fifty per cent in the
unpaid remainder of the years APP
preparations would figure in round
numbers $2,225, 900.
In some cases, however, more than
half the years appropriations have
| been expended.
In other cases it will not .be possi-
bic to make flat cut of fifty per
cent owing to obligations incurred.
The net amount of the cut is expect
ed to figure about $2,000,000.
Common schools and pensions will
have to stand their share of the cut,
! it was made plain by Governor Hard
wick.
The county legislative reapportion-
ment bill, whereby eight members will
be added, was passed by both .Hhe
Georgia house and senate WedIfess
day after its third reading. The vote
in the house was ia to 10, and in
the senate, AZ to o.
The bill bases the reapportionment
on the last United States census in
| creases in population and gives one
additional representative to, the fol-
lowing counties now having one rep
resentativc; Colqujtt, Worth, Screw
en-, Walker, jefferson, Dodge. Lau-
rens and Dekalb, which have two rep
resentatives each, will be given three
under the reapportionment
AS soon as The bill is signed by Gov
ernor Hardwick it will become effec-
tive and elections will be held in
each of the counties to select repre-
sentative to take their seats immed-
lately.

John Butt Returning
From Nevada In Ford

John Butt has received letter
from his son, John Butt, Jr., from
Carara, Nevada, stating that he has
purchased Ford and is coming across
the country in it until he reaches
Americas.
Nh. Butt has been employed in
Carara for the past year, and decided
recently TO make charge in en-
ploymcnt. Deciding the trains were
too hot and stuffy for this season
of the year, and desiring to see some
of the splendid western scenery, as
well as that in the central and east
ern states to be traversed to reach
Georgia, he planned the overland trip
here, and will arrive shortly.
Mr.. Butt was an honor graduate
of the Americas High school last June
and during his school years showed
remarkable aptitude in oratory. He
has not yet decided what he will do
upon returning to Georgia, but as his
ambition is along literary lines, it is
probable that he will enter one of the
higher institutions Of learning this
fall and continue literary studies.
