ROY HARRIS
INDICATES
GILLIS LEADS
Says None “Sizzle”
But May Get “Hot”
Roy Harris, Augusta politician
and editor of the Augusta Courier,
voices his belief that Jim Gillis,
present chairman of the state high
way board, is the leading possibility
as candidate for governor of Geor
gia next year.
Mr. Harris, considered one of the
most astute politicians in Georgia,
lists the gubernatorial possibilities
in the order of their interest to the
voters at the present time. He states
that none of the candidates are
“hot” as yet but that one or more
of them, may “sizzle" in time. Mr.
Karris said in his paper:
Despite all the talk the favorites
seem to stand in this order:
James L. Gillis, Chairman of the
State Highway Board.
Marvin Griffin, the Lt. Governor.
James V. Carmichael, who ran
in 1946 and delivered such a eulogy
to Herman Talmadge in Atlanta last
year.
Ellis Arnall, who was Governor
of Georgia from 1943-1947.
Tom Linder, Commissioner of
Agriculture.
M. E. Thompson* who was elected
Lt. Governor in 1946 and served as
acting Governor during 1947 and
1948.
Charles L. Gowen, the Member of
the Legislature from Brunswick.

Fat Calf Show Set
For Next Thursday
At Brantley Market
BAPTISTS ROOST
HOSPITAL ON
MOTHERS DAY
Seek SIOO,OOO
For Charity Work
ATLANTA — Mother’s Day
will have an added significance
for the Baptist churches of Geor
gia for it is also their day to
raise a minimum of SIOO,OOO to
help pay the cost of charity work
done at the Georgia Baptist Hos
pital.
Dr. Louie D. Newton, chairman
of the Hospital Commission, said
at least SIOO,OOO would be needed
during the year to provide for
the charity work! in the 500-bed
institution.
“The Georgia Baptist Hospital
exists primarily to minister to
those sick people who can NOT
pay for medical treatment," Dr.
Newton said. “Most of the pa
tients pay their own way, but
our first concern is for those who
cannot pay for the necessary
medical care.”
Edwin B. Peel, administrator
of the hospital, said that the an
nual offering produced $76,330
last year. The hospital made ad
ditional funds available, with the
result that $145,679 was spent for
hospital charity work. In addi
tion, the doctors donate their ser
vices for such work.
Mr. Peel said there is no dis
crimination among charity cases
because of religious affiliation.
The annual Mother’s Day Of
fering, on May 10, will be re
ceived through the Baptist chur
ches of the state and through
their Sunday Schools.
“We are hoping for one hun
dred per cent cooperation,” Dr.
Newton said, “for this is one of
the most important offerings in
our Baptist churches during the
year.”
If you have lost something, find
it by placing a small 50 cents ad
vertisement in The Brantley En
terprise. Everybody reads ’-am.
If you have something to sell,
a 50 cents advertisement in The
Brantley Enterprise will be read by
people all over the county.

Brantley and Ware
Stock Ponds With
Big Mouth Bass
J. C. Council, Soil Conservation
ist for Ware and Brantley Counties
reports that on Friday, April 24th,
the tank truck from the U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service hatchery at
Welaka, Forida, delivered fingerling
big mouth bass — commonly called
trout — to Ware and Brantley, coun
ty pond owners for stocking pur
poses.
The following people received
these fish:
J. C. Dickenson, of Brantley
County, and J. C. Highsmith and
Mrs.’ Mizell Pittman, of Ware Coun
ty. These people had been delivered
fingerling bream for their, ponds by
the hatchery last fall. - t
The Fish and Wildlife Service
recommend Bass and Bream as the
best combination with which to
stock fish ponds in South Georgia.
No fish other than these should be
in the ponds. Bass are needed to
keep the bream from becoming too
numerous for the food supply in
the pond. Bass and Bream should be
placed in the pond in the ratio
reeded to maintain the proper bal
ance. Fingerling bream are usually
placed in the pond in the fall and
the fingerling trout are then placed
in the pond early in the following
year.
