A press release from Milledgeville,
received by the Herald yesterday
relates that representatives of 240
colleges and universities through
out the nation and from learned
and professional societies will
gather there tomorrow—Friday—to (
participate in 'the installation of j
Henry K. Stafford as fifth president
of GSCW. Several foreign uni

We are advised that Sen. Walter
George will be speaker at a Jeffer-
son-Jackson Day dinner in Atlanta
December 2nd. The dinner is de
signed to raise funds for the Na
tional Democratic Party campaign
$20,000 being the sum aimed at. I
recall the great address made by
'Sen. George in 1928 in support of
the National Democratic campaign
jwhen Al Smith and Herbert Hoover
(were the nominees. He has always
] been loyal and outspoken in his
support of the party, even tho he
| was not personally fond of the
i nominee at the time. His interest
| and enthusiasm never wavered.
I Writing from Sylvester a Colum-
1 bus Ledger-Enquirer staff writer
tells his readers that "furriners”
p assing through that quiet little
South Georgia town during the
; past week had some hair-raising
experiences. Says he: “Folks here
are whooping it up 1853 fashion.
The men all grew beards and the
women went about their daily
chores in ankle-length skirts and
bonnets. The favorite mode of
transportation was the covered
j wagon, and no man was caught
after sundown without his shot
gun. All these unusual scenes were
just a small part of worth county’s
week long Centennial Celebration
which ended a few days ago. As of
the following morning the beards
were gone and the long dresses
were stacked away in moth balls.”
Legislative Session
To Have no Effect on
Gubernatorial Campaign
Report as made by
M. L. ST. JOHN
Atlanta, Ga.
Unless something unexpected de
velops, the 25-day legislative ses
sion opening here Nov. 16 will
have little or no effect on the 1954
gubenatorial campaign.
That is the opinion of most of the
potential gubernatorial candidates.
It also is the opinion of the presid- j
ing officers of the General Assem
bly, who’ll have to try to hold the
session in line for legislative busi
ness. And it is the belief of Gov. 1
Herman Talmadge, who successful-1
ly urged the General Assembly to
meet now instead of next January i
in order to avoid a session during'
a “political year.”
This prevailing opinion is a re- ;
versal of the attitude which existed |
some weeks ago. At that time,
prospective candidates and ob
servers looked for the brief session
to either “make or break” many
potential gubernatorial entries.
Since then,the administration has
joined anti-administration forces
and state democratic party leaders
in urging the Legislature to set the
primary by law for September.
Since of passage, this seems to
eliminate the possibility of an
early primary next year.
It also makes the November ses
sion in 1953 far too early for issues
and candidate to come out for a
primary in September, 1954.
House Speaker Fred Hand of Pel
ham and Lt. Gov. Marvin Griffin of
Bainbridge, presiding officers of the
House and Senate and both pros
pective gubernatorial candidates,
agree that there is little likelihood
of any issues developing in the
short session that will help or
harm potential candidates for 1954.
So does Rep. John Greer of Lanier
county, minority leader of the
House who may run either for lieu
tenant governor or governor.
The opinion is shared by such
prospective candidates for governor
as State Highway Chairman James
Gillis of Soperton, former acting
Gov. M. E. Thompson of Valdosta,
and Roy Harris of Augusta.
Former Gov. Arnall, who has
been speaking up and down the
state, says he frankly does not
know whether the session would be
a sounding board for the campaign.
He indicated he hoped for more
benefits for the people and less
politics would result. But the form
er governor and legislator pointed
out that the General Assembly was
I customarily a good spot for legis
lators to further their political am
bitions.

Community Saddened by Death of
Mr. Eddie Windham
Our community was saddened by
the death of Mr. Eddie Windham
on Oct. 19.
Mr. Windham was born Nov. 30,
1935 at Yatesville and had made
his home at Taylor Mill for a num
ber of years. His friends and neigh
bors learned to love him because
of his kindness and Christian vir
tues.
Mr. Eddie has always been known
as a just and upright man and a
Christian. He was a member of the
Free Will Church serving as a dea-
con for a number of years. He will
jbe greatly missed in the com
munity, Sunday school and church.
We can say too, “It was good to
have known him.”
To his family we extend our
heartfelt sympathy.
He is survived by his wife* the
former Ethel Taunton; four sons:
A. G., Eugene, Thurmon and Ralph;
two daughters, Nancy and Mary
Windham.
