Robert Elliott, young Columbus attorney and Her man Talmadge’s floor leader during the last Legislature, was picked in formally as Georgia’s next Demo cratic National Committeeman. Sentiment was solid behind El liott as the 120-member State Dem ocratic Executive Committee select ed 72 delegates to bear Georgia’s banner at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia July 12. The delegates, with one-half vote each, were instructed only to vote as a unit. The course of opposition to President Truman and his civil rights program was left wide open. The committee moved towards forcng Acting Governor M. E. Thompson to surrender any claim to the Lieutenant-Governorship if he becomes a candidate for Governor in the September 8 primary. It prescribed specifically that if Thompson qualifies as a candidate for Governor, a candidate definite ly will be nominated for the two year unexpired term as Lieutenant- Governor. Leaders said this set the stage for a court challenge if Thompson should attempt to cling to the Lieu tenant-Governorshpi if he loses his battle for Governor. Actual selection of a National Governor E. D. Rivers will be left to Committeeman to succeed former the delegation just prior to the Na tional Convention. But leaders left no doubt that Elliott was the man. The committee proceeded smooth ly through routine regulations for the September 8 Democratic pri mary. The closing date for entries was set at July 10. Entrance fees were left the same —ssoo’ for Governor, U. S. Senator and U. S. Representatives: S3OO for Lieutenant-Governor, Public Ser vice Commissioners, and Justices of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals; and $250 for Judges and Solicitors of Superior Courts. rereseleeltftC tCttJCesho ws will meet at 3 p. m.

The number of mules and horses has decreased because they have been displaced on the farm by mechanical equipment.
