Col. Wheeler Nominated For
Judgeship.
From Buford Journal;
In the Hall county primary held
Friday, April 10, Col. A. C. Wheeler
of Gainesville proved an easy win
ner of the nomination for Judge of
the City Court of Hall County, over
his opponent, Col. W. S. Pickrell,
Col. Wheeler having received a ma
jority vote of 1070 in the county.
The fact that Col. Pickrell is
known throughout the county as a
lawyer of unquestioned ability and
enjoys the friendship and esteem of
almost the entire people adds laurels
to Col. Wheeler’s victory and pro
claims more eloquently than words
the enviable position attained by this
popular and rapidly rising young at
torney in the hearts and minds of
the people of his home county.
As is well known, Col. Wheeler i
was born and reared on a farm in J
Roberts’ district, Hall county, with- ■
in about four miles of Buford and has j
hundreds of friends throughout this !
section who heartily extend congrat- ;
ulations and best wishes. Os the 58 i
votes cast in Roberts district Friday
April 10 not one was against Col.
Wheeler or Mr. R. W. Smith, who
is another Roberts district boy and
was re-elected for Clerk of the Su
perior Court which shows how the
people of that district line up when
it comes to an endorsement of her
own worthy sons.

W. C. T. U. Medal Contest.
The first of a series of medal con
tests, six of which will be held dur
ing the year, will take place at Li
brary Hall on next Tuesday even
ing at 8.30 o’clock.
There will be held a mock election
on National Constitutional Prohibi
tion. There will be music, grab
bags for the children and other in
teresting features. All are invited.
Admission five and ten cents.
I It is our desire, through these
; medal contests, to so interest the
• young people in this the greatest
I reform purpose of the age, that they
may help enlist the older ones who
seem unmindful of this need of re
form. In other words, want them
to help create public sentiment.
• The medal contest means agita
i tion and education. Said Lincoln:
i “With public sentiment nothing can
; fail; without it nothing can succeed.”
Would that we women of the local
! Temperance Union could have a
■ vision and be moved by a mighty
I purpose, as were Francis W'llard,
Florence Nightingale and others, a
; purpose worthy of women who are
j worthy to live forever!
“If me think things cannot be
different from what they are, we I
but add so much to the dead inertia j
of the world which keeps them as |
they are.”
