ROAD BOARD;
WILBURN CHAIR’M.
From the Atlanta Constitution
Administration of the state high
way department of Georgia Tuesday
underwent another rapid fire change
with the resignation or Chairman J.
l jiangham, of Bremen, and the im
mediate appointment of W. E. Wil
burn, of Oglethorpe, a member of the
board, as chairman, and J. A. Heck,
of Marietta as a member to fill the
No sooner had Gov. Talmadge made
public the shift in highway board
membership than the wheels of capi-
tol speculation started grinding, fed
by the point-blank refusal of all
principals to comment. News of the
resignation and new appointments
spread through the capitol like wild
fire, and interest in the matter was
heightened by the possible effect of
the change in officeholders on the
quo warranto suit filed by Capt. J. W
Barnett, of . Athens, against Mangham
who was appointed chairman after
Barnett was ousted by the governor
with the aid of the national guard.
Although attorneys declined to be
quoted, it was pointed out that the
probable effect of the change in chair
men will he to make the Barnett suit
a moot question, in view of the fact
that Mangham no longer holds the
office and even if his favorable de
cision in the trial court was reversed
he could not deliver to Barnett an
office he no .longer holds.
Of the many theories advanced by
capitol observers as reasons for the
shift, two held the limelight: One,
that friction had developed between
the governor and Mangham. and, two
that the Talmadge hoard of strategy
had "pulled a fast one” on the Bar
nett forces, in that Barnett would he
compelled to begin his suit all over
again with Heck as the defendant for
the place on the hoard and Wilburn

entire camp personnel was called ut
to extinguish it hut it was soon learn

would he out of danger. With this
completed, the fire was left to burn
itself out and all men left with the

saved the mess hall from destruction.

Most Costly Fire In
Many Years Visited
Macon Tuesday Night
Macon, Ga., Nov. 22.—The largest
fire in Macon in more than 10 years
Tuesday, night destroyed three ware
houses of the Southern Crate and
Veneer company at the foot of Pop
lar street and threatened property
worth more than $1,000,000.
Approximately $100,000 worth of
new orange crates and veneer stored
in the warehouses was lost, accord
ing to unofficial estimates. One of
the buildings contained 100 car loads
of boxes and veneer.
Fire broke but in one of the ware
houses shortly after 9 o'clock and
before firemen could reach the scene
had enveloped the two neighboring
houses. The three structures were
made of corrugated iron. Origin of
the blaze was undetermined.
Circling the warehouses with hose,
firemen succeeded in preventing
spread of the flames to the manu
facturing plant in the rear of the
houses.
Several freight cars on Central of
Georgia and Southern railway sid
ings flanking the buildings, were de
stroyed.
“No Bill” Is Returned
In Helms Quiz
The following clipped from the
Vienna News will be read with in
terest by the many friends of Rev.
J. L. Helms, in Taylor (bounty, where
for many years he was an outstand
ing citizen:
“The Dooly county grand jury re
turned a “ho bill” against Rev. J. L.
Helms Tuesday in the matter of dis
crepancies in the city of Unadilla
accounts.
“Mr. Helms, who has long been
prominent as a minister and business
man in Dooly county, was, city clerk
and treasurer of Unadilla from 1926
to 1932, and it is said that when he
vacated that office an audit of hifl
accounts showed discrepan c i e s
amounting to approximately $1,800.
Mr. Hfelms denied that he had mis
appropriated any of the funds be
longing to the city and claimed that
had the records been [kept properly
that his accounts’would prove cor
rect. He, however, is said to have
made restitution to the city govern
ment, and the matter had been con
sidered a closed issue until it was
called to the attention of the 1 grand
jury.
“An investigation by that body on
Tuesday resulted in the “no hill” be
ing returned.”

MORE THAN FORTY YEARS.
Deep grief blanketed the city and
community late Monday uftemoon in
the sudden passing of • Mrs. Sallie
Elizabeth McGee, one of Butler’s most
beloved women, who had been in fee
ble health for more than a year, but
m spite of which her death was un-
expected at the time. A heart attack

of others before herself. Her love and
devotion for her children could not

by those who knew her, and all of
which was fully reciprocated by her
children and most beautifully mani
fested by them in their watchful care
over her and ministration of untiring
service at all times, hut more es
pecially during her long illness.
Mrs. McGee was a lady of many
charming attributes of Christian

friend. ’Neath a blanket of lovely
floral offerings from admiring friends
the body was consigned to its last
earthly resting place, an ( ) the frae-
rancp of the blossoim so rare and
beautiful that covered her casket
truly typified the virtues and indi-
■>’idual sweetness and character of the
flpepaced. Funeral arrangements were
fittingly hpndled by Mr. J. W. 1 Ed
