FAYETTEVILLE NEWS VOL. XXXII FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, AUGUST 27, 1920. NUMBER 6. HOLDER SAYS HOWELL SHALL NOT HANDPICK A GOVERNOR OBITUARY. la an open letter to Editor Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution, replying to the editorial published by that paper Friday,- calling upon him to withdraw from the race and ask ing, “What say you, Mr. Holder?’’ Speaker John N. Holder of the House of Representatives says the one con dition upon which he will withdraw, is that Mr. Howell will at once with draw from the race his candidate for the United States Senate. Otherwise, Mr. Holder declares he is in the race for governor to the finish, and pro poses to prosecute liis campaign more vigorously than ever. Declaridg that he was first in the race for governor, having come in a3 a loyal Democrat to save the situation in Georgia, following a conference of his friends from all parts of the State, Mr. Holder says he does not propose to be eliminated now, when the re ports which he quotes from all sec tions of the State show that he is the strongest candidate, and that there is every indication that he will win. Mr. Holder asserts that there is no ground or right upon which Mr. How ell and Mr. Anderson of The Macon Telegraph, can assume to “handpick” tne candidates for governor and U. S. Senator. Asserting that they forced the present situation by attempting to “handpick” a senator, and are now seeking to deal similarly with the gov ernor’s office, Mr. Holder concludes as follows: “Now, Mr. Howell: I am ready, will ing and anxious to do anything in my power for my party, and I stand ready to relieve the embarassing situation in Georgia; but my withdrawal would accomplish nothing unless the situa tion in the senatorial race was also relieved at the same time. “Since you, my political enemy, have seen fit to advise me what to do, now you advise your friend and candi date to withdraw from the race for the senate, leaving only two in the race, and I stand ready to meet your demand 'and withdraw instanter from the governor’s race. “Unless, however, this is done, and done promptly, • I am unable to see why I should be sacrificed for no purpose except to help your candidate for gov ernor, and not the Democracy of Georgia, and I shall be in the race to the finish, confidently believing I shall be elected.’’ SCHOOL OPENS SEPTEMBER 6TH. One more week and the long vaca tion days will give place to shorter but very busy ones—for some of us at least. The Fayetteville public school opens Monday, the 6th of Sep tember. It is expected that the enrollment will be even larger than last year when it was greater than ever before and strained the walls, not to say the seating capacity of the present dis graceful structure. Doubtless, the nor mal school attendance of this school should be, at least, three hundred and fifty. Ten years ought to see an en rollment of four fifty to five hundred. The faculty includes one more teacher this year than heretofore, the Board having established a depart ment of domestic science, which will be taken care by cutting a new room in the auditorium, according to the present arrangements. The new mem bers of the faculty are Miss Helen Williamson of Atlanta, Miss Alleen Ward, sister of Miss Alma Ward of the present faculty, Miss Eva Stamper of Camilla, Ga., Mrs. Foote, and Miss Letitia Mullins, both of Fayeteville. A more complete account of the facul ty will appear in the News next week, as will final arrangements for the place of the opening exercises. The present state of the auditorium pre vents holding them there. EAST SIDE. Mr. and Mrs. * Edgar Murphy and Mrs. Luther Mufrphy of East Point passed through here Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

Donizell Jackson was born Dec. 11, 1896, died April 11, 1920. In August, 1918, he gave his heart to God and united with the New Hope Baptist church and was baptized by Rev. C. A. Adams. He was a noble boy. He noved his church and was a devoted member, willing to bear his part in every good work. His regard for his father and mother and other members of the family amounted to entire for getfulness of self. A wide circle of friends loved him as few young men are loved; In his death the Church has suffered a grievous loss. While it is true that all alive must die, and admit it to be one of the laws of a loving God, he leaves us sad and lonely, and were it not for the undying hope of a reunion hereaf ter, the separation by death would leave us utterly despairing. His funeral was conducted April 12 at New Hope by Rev. C. A. Adams and G. B. Walker, and- his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at that place. We, as a Church, extend our heartfelt sympathies to the be reaved family. LAWRENCE BRAY. GRACE NEELY. NELLIE. WHITE. Committee.
