- May Ask for Probe
Of Tallulah Dispute
Atlanta, June 29, —Representa
tives Ellis of Tift and White of
Screven are making an investiga
tion with a view to having the
Legislature thoroughly sift the
Tallulah Falls matter. It will be
recalled that Governor Brown.
basing his decision upon the opin
;’ion of Attorrey General T, S.
Felder. recently held that the
state had no legal claim to Tallulah
Falls, and refused (o bring suit in
the state’s name in the effort to re
cover them.
If there is any possibility of the
state’s ownership being sustained
Me-srs, Ellis and White will take
the matter up in the Legislature
and ask that a thorough legisla
tive investigation of the entire
situation be made.

FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE GEN
ERAL ASSEMBLY OF GA.,
From Ben-Hill County, Under
- Such Rules and Regulations as
Prescribed by the Proper
Authorities
To the People of Ben Hil] County:
During the 1911 session of the
General Assembly of Ga., which
I served you, I endeavored earn
estly and faithfully in the support‘
of all the General measures that I
advocated and pledged in my for
mer race for Representative. viz.
Laws with reference to Labor,
and the extension of Education.
'And in co-operating with others
equally interested, such Laws w.re
enacted and in my opinion of
thought, have met with approval
in general to the people of Geor
gia, especially in the New School
Law where an additional One
Hundred Thousand Dollars goes
to the children of this State.
I voted for every meaure that
tended to uplift the people and
state,
I was always on the side with
the people fh common as against
special interest,
I met regularlly with my Com
mittees, having been assigned to
some among the most important,
such as, Education ¢Banks and
Bazking” Railroads” Ways and
Means and Corporations ete.
My conduct as your Represen
tative is a matter of public record,
and with such experience as I
have had I feel that I am in better
position to still render more and
better service t 2 the people of my
County.
I am anxious to serve yeu again
in the General Assembly from our
County, not in any consideration
of money for, all one can get out
of it is the consciousness of hav
ing served his people well and
faithfully, and to me this is great
er than money.
I therefore earnestly appeal to
your kind consideration, promis
ing if re-elected the best efforts of
my life in all matters of general
as well as of local interest.
Faithfully Yours,
tf, Wright T. Paulk.
