JONES ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR A JUDGESHIP ON THE COURT OF APPEALS Prominent Augustan Accedes To Request of His State- Wide Circle of Friends. It will be a source of great gratifi cation to his many friends all over the state to know that Col. Henry S. Jones, of Hepzibah and Augusta, has consented to have his name presented to the people of Georgia as candidate for one of the newly-appointed judge ships on the Court of Appeals. Colonel .'ones, who is a native Geor gian, has lived all of his lite in this state and ha- always devoted himself to its best interests. He has been ery active both in his public and re ligious endeavors, and has acquired a well-deserved reputation for un swerving integrity and devotion to duty. Colonel Jones has practiced law in Richmond County for over thirty years, and it is a tribute to his hon esty and ability that at this time the Bar of Richmond County has unani mously and urgently endorsed him for the position of Judge of the Court of Appeals. As further evidence of the esteem in which Colonel Jones is held, it is interesting to note that he has re ceived the unqualified endorsement of all three of the Representatives from Richmond County. Colonel Jones is a man of splendid education and firm religious princi ples, being a graduate of Mercer Uni versity and having held many respon sible positions in the church. He is also very prominent in Masonic cir cles. In 1909 he was elected Vice- President of the Georgia Anti-Saloon League and President of the Richmond cord is an open book, and we point to it with pride, and his experience in legislative matters insures us greater things for the future, and we believe that he will be re-elected by the great est majority in the history of the County Law Enforcement Committee. Colonel Jones has always been a loyal and active Democrat, and has been Chairman of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of Richmond Coun ty for four years. Colonel Jones’ record as a Christian gentleman, a loyal Democrat and an eminent lawyer is so well known that his friends unhesitatingly predict his election as Judge of the Court of Ap peals by a big vote. county.
