M.J. YEOMANS IS NEW
SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE
Dawson Attorney Appointed Succes
sor to Judge Worrtll.
ATLANTA, Ga. —Governor Thomas
W. Hardwick has appointed M. J.
Yeomans, of Dawson, of the law firm
of Yeomans & Wilkinson, to be
judge of the Pataula Superior Court
circuit, to fill the place made va
cant by the recent death of Judge
W. C. Worrill. The appointment is
made until the next general election.
The selection of Mr. Yeomans is
commented on here as one of the
strongest and most outstanding ju
dicial appointments made by Gover
nor Hardwick during his entire term
of office, Mr. Yeomans being one of
the foremost members of the state
bar.
He is a graduate of the University
of Georgia, and for the past twenty
years or more has been identified
with the progressive public life of
the State. He is a former chairman
of the State Democratic Executive
Committee, was the representative
from Terrell county in the Legisla
ture of 1915-16, and during that ses
sion was intimately identified with
all of the most important legislation
then framed and adopted. His prac
tice in law is a very extensive one
in both the state and federal courts,
and has taken him in the courts prac
tically all over Georgia.
In addition to his law practice and
his interests in Terrell county, Mr.
Yeomans is a large apple grower, hav
ing extensive orchards in the vicin
ity of Cornelia.
There were eight or ten applicants
for the appointment and Governor
Hardwick’s selection was made only
after an unusually close survey of
the situation. Judge Yeomans will,
it is understood, take office at once.

Peanut Association Takes Final Step
of Permanent Organization.
ALBANY, Ga. —The Committee on
Election of the Georgia Peanut Grow
ers Co-operative Association met in
Albany Saturday afternoon to de
clare the results of the election held
to name ten district directors by
votes of the members. Election man
agers in each of the districts had
received and counted the votes,
leaving nothing for the committee
to do here Saturday but declare the
results, which were as follows:
First District, Lee and Dougherty
Counties —P. J. Brown, Albany.
Second District, Mitchell County—
J. P. Mcßee, Camilla.
Third District, Baker and Early
Counties —J. M. Johnson, Arlington.
Fourth District, Miller and Semi
nole Counties —L. E. Calhoun, Col
quitt.
Fifth District, Decatur and Grady
Counties —T. M. Chastain, Cairo.
Sixth District, Thomas, Brooks,
Colquitt, Cook and Lowndes Coun
ties—C. M. Massey, Barwick (tem
porary).
Seventh District, Worth, Turner,
Tift, Berrien, Irwin and Ben Hill
Counties—G. R. Lundy, Sylvester.
Eighth District, Wilcox, Crisp, j
Dooly and Sumter Counties —J. M.
Hunt, Gordele.
Ninth District, Calhoun and Clay
Counties —W*. T. Hammock, Bluffton.
Tenth District, Terrell, Randolph,
Quitman, Stewart and Webster Coun
ties—W. J. Oliver, Shellman.
It was necessary for each director
to receive a majority of the votes
. cast in his district to be elected a
permanent director. In the Sixth
. district, where three men were nom
inated, Mr. Massey led the ticket,
but did not receive a majority of the
votes cast. It will be necessary,
therefore, to hold a second election
; between him and L. J. M'cPhaul, of
Doerun, who ran second. Mr. Mas
sey, however, will serve as a tem
porary director in the meantime.
In addition to the ten district
directors, there is one Public Direc
