Thomasvllle, Ga., Sept* 12,1922
The Board met at 19 oclock with all

Stb Commissioner’s district, he was

Chairman Williams stated that Miss
Kate Willis of Thomasvllle R. P. D., 4
had appealed to him for assistance
and that he had ordered $5.00 paid her
for temporary relief. Mrs. Wilson said
she knew the circumstances of the
family and recqmmended a'donation
of $1fl.00 per month for them; there

WILL ALLlirTAKE A HAND?
The situation at Smyrna is beyond
description. I t. Is but another of th
many terrible atrocities attributed to
the Turks and for which they have
never yet been held accountable,
course the war with Turkey was III
advised on the part of Constantine
It resulted In a disastrous defeat as
perhaps might have been expected
Had not conditions In Europe been
so muddled and (conflicting claims
ot the Allies been so persistent the
war never would have occured.
It came about however and Is ha
ended disastrously for the world a
large If it means the rising strength
of the Turkish empire. The Turk has
no more business In Europe than the

structive. If this new government I

Hardly posalble la It for the worl-
to understand all of the conflicting

established beyond question that the

way mean another nasty war within
tea days, unless the British, French
•nd Whs nations wake np to th
nal situation and forget their en.
minus and Jealousies long enough to
sat rM of the. Turkish menace. We
have no Idea that they win. Judging
by the part, if they do Russia la
to ha reckoned with and there U
these candidates at that time were
lighting a mighty battle together and
they won it handily. Hardwick lined
up this year with the side that had
lost previously under the banner of
Cliff Wulker and the steam roller
was too-strong for him.
We do not Intimate that the same
folks, who voted for Watson, voted for
Walker entirely. A lot of them did
and it was their strength together
with other contributing circumstanc
es that brought about the result. Wo
have no hesitancy in saying that Tom
Watson will claim that the results is
due to him and perhaps may like some
of the fruits of victory. The state con
ventlon will probably give him that.
Mr. Hardwick fought a Battle lha
very few men would attempt, hardly
any have ever won. He was attack
ing certain element* In Georgia who
are cohesive and who are pqwerfui.
The combination was too strong, even
for this fearless political fighter, the
Game Cock of Georgia. It would seem
quite evident that the Watson vote
elected Hardwick, and more evident
that it defeated him for the man he
previously beat.
Some of the dopesters say It was
WatBon and the Women. Some
tribute It to the Ku Klx Klan, and oth
ers to Hardwick's antagonism ol the
pensioners and his failure to save
Dupre or hang Hudson, while itlll
others hold his war record In the
Senate ns one of the prime factors.
We don't doubt that the majority of
those opinions bad an effect on the re
sult, perhaps each one In Its own way
and among certain people.
Mr. Walker made a campaign that
was timed nicely to the situation. H#
saw his friends and ho saw others
who became his friends. He didst
speak, ho didn’t write but be used his
band-shaking proclivities quite avidly
and even that might not havo been
necessary to have brought about the
same result.
De that as It may, no matter what
elected him, he is Georgia's next Gov
ernor. We supported Mr. Walker
when bis platform was our way. We
did not support him when It was lack
ing. In our opinion, the constructive
thlnge Georgia now needi. The Timea-
Enterprlse has always been friendly
to him and admires him personally
reported an Investigation of the case
of Mrs. Alice Sloan at present at the
City Hospital. She seia this la a very
■deserving case, and that $3.50 per

mended catting the donation of 17.50

Mr. Chastain moved, on Mr. Thomas’

$7.50 be'reduced to-$6 per month. Car

Mrs. Wilson stated the case of Mrs.
Ellta Braswell 83 years old who resid
es with Mrs. Elisha Redfeam at Paro.
Mr. Blckley moved on Mr. McMillan's
second that the case be referred to
Mr. J. B. Williams for Investigation

the case of Mrs. Belle Stephens of
Merrillville. Mr. Blckley on Mr. Me-
Mlllan's second moved that this case
be referred to Mr. Murphy for Investi

Mr. Mardre. Chairman of the Road
Committee reported favorably on the

of the Ellabclle District, therefore, Mr.
Blckley, on Mr. McMillan's- second
moved that citation of said road
ran as required by law. Carried.
Chairman Williams stated that Mr.
Holland f Metcalfe bad asked for re
pairs on the Odum-Roddenbery road In
order for use by trucks In hauling
school children and that he had au
thorized Overseer Cone to make the
necessary repairs. Action approved.
Mr. Thomas said some additional re
pairs were yet needed. Mr. Blckley
moved on Mr. Chastain's second that
the matter be referred to Mr. Thomas
with power to acL Carried.
Mr. Thomas reported his committee
bad inspected a number of locations
offered for use as a Stockade and that
he had secured prices on some of
them, none of which were satlsfac
tory. He said Chairman Williams had
offered one place 2 miles from town
oh the Dixie Highway which the com
mittee thought the best location yet
submitted. He asked Mr. Williams In
make a price, but he. under the cir
cumstances is reluctant In selling In
the county. However, he named a
price of $100.00 per acre, plus $1,500
for the buildings on the place. After
some discussion, Mr. Blckley suggest
ed a date be named for Inspection of
all locations by the entire Board,
