Meigs. March 9.—(Special.)—At
a mass meeting held at the Center
Hill school house Tuesday night,
and' which was attended by seven
ty-five or more of the leading cltl-
sens of the Ochlocknee and Meigs I b r the following gentlemen; Mes-
districts, Mr. L. D. Johnson <way| sr *- J - N. Carter. Jim Wilke*, B. A.
nominated to represent these two 'Smith, Col. E. L. Joiner and Dt.
districts on the Board of County M*«> »f Meigs; and Mr. John
other.
Both candidates. Including every
one In the audience, pledged th«lr
support to whoever might be se
lected at this meeting before the
ballot waa. taken. The result of
that poll, as noted ahove, .was In
favor of Mr.. Johnson. '
The meeting was organised by,
electing Mr.' Thomas Darts, post
master of Meigs, as chairman. No
secretary was thought necessary.
The object of the meeting being
stated, a general discussion follow-
ed relative to the mode of proceed
ing and how to select a candidate.
The discussion waa participated in
Commissioners.
The names of Mr. Johnson and
Mr. Chason, the present incumbent,
were pretested to tb* assemblage,
hut the ballot favored Mr. John
son.
Never before, we believe has
there gathered at Center HIU
more representative set of men to
to look after the business and Po
litical end of this section of Thom
as county. There were lawyer*,
merchants, doctors, railroad men,
politicians, saw-mill and turpentine
men. possibly a preacher also, hut
of course the big majority were far
mers and the best known ones In the
two districts.
The meeting, which simply nomi
nated at gentleman to go on the
ticket at the ensuing primary, waa
pleasant and profitable one, al=
most a love-feast la the end. No
hard feelings were engendered, all,
smiles gad bouquets, one for th*
Pilcher, of Center Hall, and Mr. C.
A. Welch, Jim Thompson. John Cfs-
son, L. D. Johnson. Bob McMillan,
and others, of Ochlocknee.
"Big" Brat* Singletary and Jim
Thompson, of Ochloeknee, and Dr.
.1. N. Isler tnd Gordan E. Davis, of
Meigs, were selected to receive and
count the rotes, which position they
filled to the satisfaction of all.
after the r*su!t was announced,
spme one proposed, to make Mr.
.febn*op's selection unanimous,
which was done with much cheer
ing.
In a few, well-chosen words—
o'Meh every one could see came from
the heart of the'speaker—Mr.-John
son accepted the duty Imposed and
promised his best service, both In
the race and, If elected, la the of-
tee to handle the legal phases of
the law enforcement campaign, aa
■well as being chosen aa counsel for
the Georgia Anti-Saloon league.
'Dr. Hardman earnestly sought
the support of the Atlanta members
of the committee In his candidacy
for Governor, and I naturally sup
pose he sought the support of tho
members of the committee in other
parte' of the State.
“Among the Atlanta mejnbers or
the committee, whose support he
sought wps myself. He wrote sev
eral members of the committee
here, and called upon several of us
personally and Importuned us to
support him tor Governor
Could Not Support Him
"After listening to the doctor for
an hour In my office, I told him It
was my intention, speaking only as
one member of the committee, to
support Governor Net E. Harris for
re-election, because I failed to per
ceive the necessity or the advan
tage, from the prohibition stand
point, of two prohibition candidates.
He then asked what the committee
would do In 1918, if he did not make
the race. I told him l was not au
thorised to speak for the commit
tee and strescsd upon him the fact
that the committee is absolutely
non-political and Intended to make
no political alliances for future de
livery.

“80 far ns I am able to.'perceive,
the doctor** only cause for com-
plaint against the members of the
committee, in Atlanta or elsewhere,
Is that they are not supporting him.
“That the Atlanta members of
the committee have absolutely
nothing personal against the doctor,
and are governed solely by what
they deem to he tor the beet Inter
ests ot prohibition law enforcement,
Is shown by the faot hat five -out
of the seven Atlanta members -ot

"None of them will vote tor him
this year for the reasons above stat
ed, although there It no agreement
