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.

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- EARLY COUNTY NEWS WE OFFER YOU ======= QUALITY - SERVICE - PRICE WITH A SM ILE Your visits are always appreciated, and it is our pleasure to be of any service to our customers.

After each address Mr. DeJarnette freely an swers questions by the members, and this policy has brought about a bet ter understanding. In nearly every place he has spoken members have*j gone forward not only to pledge their co-operation, but to assure him that they Mill see that their neigh bors do their part. NOTICE.
