Flint Bar Meets
Wednesday At
Indian Springs
LARGE AND SPIRITED CROWD
HEARS STIRRING ADDRESS
BY JUDGE CLARK EDWARDS
AT MEETING
The annual meeting of the Flint
Circuit Bhr Association was held
Wednesday morning at the Elder
Hotel with Judge Ogden Persons,
Flint Circuit judge, as host and
Judge Clark Edwards Jr., of Elber
ton, the principal speaker. Members
of the bar, newspaper representa
tives, and guests from Lamar, Mon
roe, Butts and Henry counties were
in attendance.
Judge Edwards delivered a ring
ing address, declaring that “to con
voy or not to convoy, to fight or
not to fight may be and are issues
for debate, but the defense of our
own country is not a debatable is
sue—we are agreed on that.” The
first line of defense, he added, are
our soldiers and they “will stand
shoulder to shoulder and there will
not be a breach in their ranks,”
while the people themselves com
prise the secondary line of defense
and we must be doubly sure that
“propaganda and other subversive
activities do not cause a breach in
our line.”
America must stand united, no
matter what the decision of the au
thorities, Judge Edwards said, and
“if a man or woman can’t show why
he or she should be entitled to free
dom, lock them up until they prove
their right to those liberties we all
enjoy.”
“We have the most precious heri
tage in the world but,” the Judge
warned, “democracy—dike our love
for our wives and children—is too
often taken for granted and we
don’t honestly appreciate it until we
almost lose it.”
“We are at peace today, not bp
cause of any great effort on our
part to keep peace, but because God
has chosen us to hold high the torch
for other nations that they may at
last see the true light and turn
once more to Godliness.”
Delightful musical numbers, in
cluding “Memories,” “All Through
the Night,” and “In the Gloaming,”
were rendered by the Jackson Club
Chorus, whose members are:
Mesdames Avon Gaston, Lester
Duncan, D. P. Settle, .1. W. O’Neal,
S. H. Thornton, M. L. Powell, Hugh
Mallet, W. W. Jameson, P. H. Wea
ver, J. C. Newton, and R. P. Sas
nett, and Misses Elizabeth Finley
and Elizabeth Freeman.
Following the lunch period, an
open forum was held, presided over
by Leonard Young, secretary of the
Coweta bar association, and an au
thority on state law.
Elected to head the bar associa
tion for the ensuing year were E.
M. Smith, McDonough, president;
T. J. Brown Jr., McDonough, vice
president; B. B. Garland, Jackson,
secretary and treasurer.
Frank B. Willingham, Forsyth,
was elected as a member of the
board of governors of the Georgia
Bar Association.

a trip over the farm. When he fail
er to return home late in the after

industrious, energetic and ambitious.
He was a son of John W. Maddox,
former chairman of the Butts coun
ty commissioners, and a grandson

father and uncle, A. C. Maddox,

ty’s most successful planters.
He was a member of the Jackson
Methodist church.

never before
the 29,000,000 th Ford rolled
recently from the assembly line, an all
time record for the industry was set.
29,000,000 units built by the same man
agement and all bearing one name—a
name that has become one of the best
known trade-marks in the world!
It is significant that this achievement
comes at a time when our country is
making a mighty effort to re-arm swiftly.
For to further that effort, to help speed
it along in any possible way, we have
offered the vast facilities of the Rouge
Plant and every ounce of our experience.

last fall, is nearly completed. Anew mag
