Official Organ Off v of Tilton
and Tiff County, Georgia
IT DECIDED FOR TIFT.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
J to by the convention, and the
-__ateB holding proxies were al-
„ wed to vote as a unit for their
coon ties, Echols county voting with
Tift and Berrien to honor the proxies,
t-.- A committee was then appointed
f ennsisting of three from each of the
r counties, to place a permanent
chairman in nomination.
On this committee. Col. Fulwood,
Mr. Banks and Mr. Parker were ap
pointed for Tift county. After a
short absence, they returned and
placed in nomination Judge W. H.
Griffin, of Valdosta, who was elected
by acclamation.
Mr. W. D. Peeples, of Valdosta,
was elected permanent secretary
Both chairman and secretary were
not members of any of the four del
egations, it being thought best to go
outside of the regular delegates to
the convention for these officers.
After some preliminary sparring,
Judge 0. M. Smith, of Valdosta, in
troduced a resolution to the effect
that the county who should be deci
ded to have the right to furnish the
candidate for senator for the Sixth
district, have the privilege of nam
ing the candidate in any way it
thought best
After little discussion, a vote was
put on this motion and it was car
ried, three to one, Berrien, Tift and
Echols voting for it and Lowndes
against, although the motion came
from the Lowndes delegation.
As soon as the result of the vote
waa announced, the Tift county del
egation moved that the convention
adjourn, having transacted the busi
ness for which it was called. On'a
. vote, this resolution was lost, the
vote being Tift and Berrien for ad
journment and Lowndes and Echols
against.
Col. W. S. West offered a resolu
tion upon which he talked for near-
' r an hour, which had been adopted
j the Lowndes county mass meet-
. Jrig on Saturday, and which set forth
at some length that the new coun
ties had promised when they were
asking for admittance, that they
would consent to be placed last on
the list in order according to the ro
tation plan, and therefore that it was
the sense of the convention that it
was Echols county’s time to furnish
the candidate.
Mr. West’s resolution was before
the house for three hours, but if was
never debated and he never had the
chance to ask for a vote on it.
As aoon as it was read, the Tift
county delegation made a point of
order,(after asking that the call is
sued by the District Executive Com
mittee for the convention be read)
that the meeting, after transacting
the business for which it was called
-together, could not take up any new
business, having been called for a
special purpose. This point of or
der was before the convention for
nearly two hours, and was finally
ruled out by the chair on the ground
that the authority of the Executive
Committee, which called the con
vention, was questioned.
The bone of contention was wheth
er the action of the Executive Com
mittee, in awurding the turn to Tift,
should be sustained.
Cpt. C. W. Fulwood was spokes
man for the Tift county delegation,
and made an eloquent address in be
half of their claim, speaking about
thirty minutes. He set forth at
some detail the history of the new
county’s organization, and upon
what basis Tift county claimed the
right to furnish the candidate for
Senator at the next election. That
every county in the district had fur
nished one since we came in, and
that our proper place was following
Berrien.
He also refuted, in strong and un
mistakable language, the charge
that anyone representing Tift had
ever agreed that this county should
wait until every other county in the
District had furnished a Senator be
fore we came in.
Following this, the discussion
waxed warm and at times was pret
ty furious.. An attempt was made
about 1:80 by the Lowndes delega
tion, to take a recess for dinner, but
the Tift and Berrien delegations
stood pat for no adjournment until
final adjournment was had. In this,
to the surprise of many, they were
supported by the Echols delega
tion, who wanted to get through and
go home.
Col. West said that Tift county
had agreed when it was asking for
admittance or for the creation of
the county, that it should be placed
last in the roll of counties in the dis
trict, and charged the people of this
county with bad faith, and attempt
ing to do violence to Democratic
precedent and to justice and right
by coming now ana trying to i
small, weak county like Echols out
of the way.
This Was indignantly denied by the
lift county delegation, which offer
ed to retire from the convention and
make the nomination of the candi-
' date from Echols unanimous if evi
dence should be produced in support
of Col. West's charges.
Col. West had stated that there
.Tour gentlmimi in the house
could testify to this agreement,
as it happened, on the Tift coun-
— — every man
served at chairman of the
delegation whBe the
ide in Atlanta,
to produce hit
brought down to the facts in the
cane, said that he had only beard
rumors thereof, but that Represen
tative Ashley, of Lowndes, knew of
it. Called to testify, Mr. Ashley
said that he had only heard rumors
to that effect, while the bill for the
districting of the new* counties was
before the house, and, while he was
not sure, he thought that such a
statement had been made by Col. J.
H. Hah, of Macon, chairman of the
new county committee, that these
counties would take their places last
on the list.
Questions developed that -this so-
called agreement, or supposed agree
ment, did not occur until . (Us year
after the counties were areafed and
when Tift had no representative in
the legislature, end no delegation in
Atlanta, so no such promises could
have been made.
This having fallen dpwn, the Tift
county delegation scored the point
for which it had been wpitingalldi
Tift based its claim on the fact
that after the Constitutional conven
tion of 1877, Echols county furnish
ed the first Senator, and that since
in rotation, year after year for thir
ty years, Senators had been furtiish-
ed by the three counties of the dis
trict as named: Echols, Lowndes
and Berrien in turn, and thutpreced
ence was what the Tift county dele
gation was then trying to support,
Mr. West had said a good deal
about the continuity of the three
counties, which he did not want to
disturb, and tip this Tift county
heartily agreed, saying that they
either had to come, after Berrien or
before Echols in order not to break
the continuity.
Mr. Ham, of Echols, was Senator
at the time the Constitutional amend
ment was passed which authorized
the creation of the new counties.and
Mr. West, of Lowndes, waa Presid
ent of the Senate at the time the bill
was passed forming them. He was
followed by Mr. Knight, of Berrien,
as Senator from the district, and if-
the continuity was preserved now.
Tift county must come in before
Echols.
Mr. West argued against this, but
when he was asked if, in event Tift
county gave away now and allowed
Echols to furnish the Senator, would
he be willing for Tift to come in and
furnish the Senator next time, he
said, “No, it would then be Lowndes
county’s time.” To the question if
Tift could come in after Lowndes,he
said “Yes,” but this was objected to
by the Berrien county delegation.
The point was then made by Tift
county that it would be the year
1914 under this plan before Tift
would be allowed to furnish the Sen
ator, and that before this time each
county of the three- in the district,
except Tift, would have furnished
the Senator twice.
The question was asked If Tift
would be compelled to wait until the
ambition of every man in the district
outside of this county to represent it
as Senator was satisfied, before Tift
county was given a showing.
In his address, Col. West had stat
ed that if he had known Tift county
would have come in with its claims
this early, referring to it as "the
baby county of the district, in swad
dling clothes,'’ that he would have
kicked it out of the Sixth Senatorial
District, This statement probably
added some to the warmth that
characterized the meeting.
At this punt, when it appeared
that the convention was hopelessly
locked, and that a session lasting
through several weeks was probable,
the Echols epunty delegation with
drew their'claims to the right to
furnish the next Senator, and by
acclamation the right was unanim
ously accorded to Tift.
It is the general opinion that the
matter had been misrepresented, or
that Tift county’s position had pot
been correctly understood and that
when it was explained to the entire
convention it was seen that Tift
county’s claim was well-founded and
that therefore, as a matter of right,
she should have the Senator, in order
to preserve the continuity of the ro
tation system.
It was the - sense of the meeting
that Tift county should nominate tne
candidate for Senator, in any man
ner which it saw fit, and after this
nomination was,made that a delegate
of one from each of the four coun
ties should meet in Valdosta and de
clure the nominee, elect a new Ex
ecutive Committee, and transact
such other braineis as might be
necessary for the good of the,district
organization.
Everything closed very pleasantly
indeed. By unamtnous resolution,
the thunks of the convention was ex
tended to Echols county for its
magnanimity, and spirit of fairness
and the sacrifice made in the interest
of harmony. Then everybody shook
hands, and the meeting ad-
AppfciHwi far Charter.
Elsewhere in this Issue the Gaz<
publishes the application for cl
ter of the Farmers’ Supply Comp
of Tifton. Messrs. Frank Scarp
and W. E. Fanner being the in
corporators.
It is the purpose of incorporators
to organize a stock company and
induce, if possible, the leading
planters of this section to take an
interest with them therein, and open
in Tifton about the 1st of August, a
general fanners’ supply house,
which will carry everything needed
on the farm.
Such an institution has been need
ed in Tifton /or a long time, and will
nc doubt contribute much to its im
portance as a business center.
The new firm also intends to make
arrangements with the leading cot
ton exporting firms, to have buyers
in Tifton during the cotton season,
which will insure at all times the
very best prices for the staple.
We also publish, ‘in the same
column, the application for charter
of the Comfort Package-Tie Com
pany, Messrs. David Comfort, Frank
Scarboro, W. 0. Tift and E. J.
Mansfield, of Tifton, and B. M.
Comfort, of Henrico, Virginia, being
the incorporators.
It is their purpose to manufacture
and place on the market, a device
invented by Mr. Comfort for the
rapid tying or fastening of packages
of mail matter, principally letters as
handled by route agents on trains
and postoffice clerks.
Mr. Comfort's device saves twine,
which is just now attracting a trend
dsal of attention from the postoffice
department on account of its cost,
and also enables the clerk handling
the mail to tie a package in a more
secure manner and with considerably
less time than in any way yet de
vised.
Mr. Comfort is now in Washing
ton city, looking after his letters
patent and the placing of his device,
and it is expected on nis return, and
as soon as the charter is granted,
that the firm will get ready to begin
operations. .
The Gazette also publishes the
application for change in the char
ter of the Gress Manufacturing
Company, which was incorporated
in 1903. This firm proposes to
change its minimum capital stock
from $25,000 to $125,000 and its
maximum capital to the Bum
$500,000.
The change is made necessary by
their increase in business, and the
large amount of work handled‘by
the firm.

It ought to be a long time before
the people of Tift county forget the
loyalty to their interests shown by
Berrien county in the Senatorial con
test. Without, the delegates from
Berrien instructed to vote for a Tift
county man, and vbte as a unit, the
delegates from Tift would have been
in a hopeless minority, and the Sena-
Prof. Scarboro Re*el#ctod.
a meeting of the Boar
Trustees of the Tifton Public School
Tuesday night. Prof. Jason Scarboro
was re-elected Principal for the en
suing vear.
Prof. Scarboro has had charge of
the Tifton Public School for four
years, and his management has been
such as to double the ottendance and
more than double the effectiveness
of the schools work. The school
itself, as it stands today, is the best
monument and most suitable testi
mony as to his ability and thorough-
ess.
His re-lection will doubtless further
promote the usefulness of the school
to the people of Tifton and their
children.
A meeting of the Board will be
held Monday night, at which the
balance of the faculty for the com
ing near will probably be elected.
Senatorially speaking, there have
been some i athcr startling develop
ments within the last day or two,
and the matter is so unsettled at
this writing, Friday morning, that
the Gazette is not in position to say
exactly who will be in the race.
Mr. E. P. Bowen, who is at present
serving the county as representa
tive, and who is so well known that
no word we can say will introduce
him to the people of the county, is
the only announced candidate. Just
who else will be in the race, whether
anyone or not, cannot be said at this
writing.
Judge W. H. Griffin shdwed his
usual loyalty to his friends in Tift
county by championing their cause
in the Lowndes mass meeting Satur
day, but the other faction took con
trol and elected and instructed the
delegation. It is worthy of note,
however that the same men that
turned him down were glad to get
him for chairman of the coriventio..
