ANCELEY CASE WILL _ PROBA BLY COME UP FOR TRIAL TO- DAY, > The announcement of former Rep resentative 0. T. Gower of Crisp as candidate for election to the judge- ship of the Superior courts of the Cor- dele Circuit has created considerable interest all over the circuit, and there are manifestations of approval of his candidacy which make his friends more than happy. For four years Mr. Gower repre sented Crisp county in the General Assembly of Georgia, during which time he championed worthy legisla tion. Possibly his most notable serv ice to his state was as chairman of the joint committee of the house and senate for revising -the insurance laws of the state and in procuring the enactment of the present modern in surance law. As a candidate for of fice he has been uniformly successful, and retired voluntarily, after honor able service. Mr. Gower was reared in Walton County, Georgia, was educated in the High Schools of Monroe, and receiv ed his college training at Peabody Normal and the University of Nash ville, graduating from the latter in stitution with the A. B. degree. For ttyree years ho served as Principal of the Sandersville High School, from whence he went to the Mercer Uni versity Law School, where he grad uated in law in 1905. He won the highest honor of the Law School, and also a medal in oratory during this time at Mercer. Coming immediately to Cordele he began the practice of law and has steadily won the confidence of the people of this section; he has enjoyed a large and lucrative practice, being prominently connected with many im portant cases on both the civil and criminal side of the court, always de meaning himself with fidelity to his client, and reflecting credit op him, self for skiifulness and acumep in his profession.—Cordele Dispsteh. Early Saturday morning the rumb ling of distant thunder, presaged an approaching storm and soon it came in all its fury, fierce winds, vivid and frequent flashes of lightning and a flood of rain. The electric light and A message received here Sunday by his wife brought the information that Corp. R. G. Lumsdon had been se verely wounded in Frcnce on July the 28th. The message brought uni versal regret to-Mr. Lumsden's nu merous friends here. No further in formation has been received which ,fnct supports the belief that Mr. Lumsden’s injuries have not proven fatal. The message carried no in formation as to the nature or extent of his wounds. It was known that Mr. Lumsden was in the thickest of the fight-during those few days when the battles raged most fiercely, being a member of the Rainbow Di vision of the 151st Machine Gun Co., which held a most dangerous position at that time. His loved ones and friends have felt keenly anxious about him, and were not greatly surprised when the news cr.me of his injury. Mr. Lumsden has been in France since Nov. 1917, having volunteered for service jj> July precoedi-ig. He was 'in training in Macon for several ifiohths, being transferred from'there to Camp Mills, New York, for a per iod of two months’ training before sailing for France. The last letter received from him by his wife was dated June 10th, at which time he was all right. Since then no word has come from him. Much concern is felt here over his condition and a favorable , report is hoped for in the near future. Even though Vienna did go ,to sleep on the job and fail to have es tablished here a landing station for the airplanes from Souther Field, the birdmen frequently wake us up with tho whirring and buzzing of their ma chines as they pass to and fro from Souther Field and tho various land ing stations that have been establish ed in this vicinity. The noise of tho planes has become quite familiar and usually the firsts ounds bring both the little folks' and grownups out to get a glimpse of the mechanical birds as they fly by. Justr ecently an aviator who lost his way, dropped down in a large field near the home of Mrs. O. B. Perry and asked his location, he land ed without injury to his machine and after a short stop continued his flight While the appearance of the ma chines overhead is no longer uncom mon here, the spectators still exper ience theusual thrills when they come into view. Court reconvened Monday - morn ing and began the trial of criminal cases, a large number of which have been disposed of as we go to press.
