MILLER NOMINATED
FOR STATE SENATOR
The convention to nominate a
Senatorial candidate for the Ninth
district met at Edison at 11 o’clock
Wednesday morning.
The convention was composed of
delegations from all three counties
of the district —Baker, Calhoun and
Early.
Col. H. T. Singleton, of Edison,
was selected as chairman and Mrs.
McArthur Jones, of Blakely, as secre
tary of the convention, acting both
in the temporary and the permanent
organization.
The returns of the Calhoun county
primary being read, showing that
Judge A. Lee Miller had received
the endorsement of Calhoun county,
on motion a resolution was adopted
confirming (he choice of Calhoun ;
county and declaring Judge Miller j
the Democratic nominee for Senator
from the Ninth district.
Mr. E. S. Collins of Early, Col-
H. T. Singleton of Calhoun and sev
eral other gentlemen made laudatory
seconding speeches, depicting the
sterling qualities of Judge Miller as
a man, as a Democrat and as a states
man.
A committee was named to notify
Judge Miller of his nomination and
request, that he address the Conven
tion. The speech of acceptance was
characteristic of this splendid gentle
man, whose sterling Christian char
acter has made him widely known
and highly esteemed, and pledged
him to always do the right as Cod
gives him the vision to see the
right.
Following the adjournment of the
Convention, Mrs. Miller entertained
the delegates with a turkey dinner
and a feast of good things at the
lovely home where she presides as
queen. The only fault to be found
with that spread was the large task
this good lady gave the party —that
everything on the table was to be
eaten. Despite valiant efforts, this
couldn't be accomplished.
The Early county delegation was
composed of Mrs. McArthur Jones,
E. S. Collins and W. W. Fleming.
The Ninth Senatorial district is
to be congratulated upon the high
character and splendid qualifications
of the Democratic nominee for State
Senator who received his official
nomination in Edison yesterday.

DEJARNETTE SPEAKS
! TO CO-OP. MEMBERS
Ft* suits of a pleasing ar.d 1 encficial
;nature are said to have attended
j thus far a series of addresses H. R.
j DeJarnette, president and general
■ manager of the Georgia Peanut
Growers Co-Operative Association, is
making to the members of that co
op at different central points through
out the peanut producing area of
Georgia.
Mr. DeJarnette’s addresses thus
far have been confined largely to
South Georgia, but this week will
see him take messages to the mem
bers of the Peanut Association in
Middle Georgia, with addresses sched
uled for Senoia, Newnan, Rutledge
and Greensboro.
The message the Peanut Associa
tion head is delivering is one of
frank discussion of the first year’s
operations of the Peanut Association
and the difficulties that organization
encountered in the initial year of
its operations. Members are re
minded that co-operative marketing
is a new experience in the South,
and that its ultimate success will
come through careful and methodical
growth brought about by a cam
paign of education and through the
co-operation of the membership.
Policies pursued by the Peanut
Association during the first year s
operations are discussed with com
plete frankness by Mr. DeJarnette,
and any mistakes the co-op may
have made are cheerfully admitted,
together with a careful pointing out
of the benefits the organization
brought under handicaps.
One convincing part of the Peanut
Co-Op President’s address is that in'
which he deals with the member’s
part of the first year’s mistakes. He
points out that the overhead ex
pense of the first year was propor
tionately larger than it should have
been simply because deliveries were
lower than the Association has every
right to expect. He also reminds the
members that the directors were
elected by them and that they did
not take enough interest to vote, and
that they are therefore not entitled
to do much kicking. It is also
pointed out that the expenses of the
Association were increased last year
by failure of the members to send
in information as to crop mort
gages, acreage and other things
which their contracts required them
to report, thus putting on the Asso-
