PAGE SIX TO OPPOSE SEATINC DAVIS Georgia Republicans to Appeal to National Organization Opposing Negro Atlanta, Oct. 16. Strong pressure will be brought to bear on the re publican national committee in an effort to prevent seating of Ben J. Davis, negro publisher and editor of an Atlanta newspaper, as nation al committeeman from Georgia, it became known Thursday night. Da vis was recommended as the accep- 1 table candidate of the state repub- ! lican central committee in executive session of that body late Thursday afternoon. Davis received 43 votes, while his opponents, W. R. Tucker, vice chairman of the committee, and Dr. W. H. Harris, negro, of Athens, re ceived a total of 23. The contest is to fill the place made vacant by the death of Henry Lincoln John son, negro committeeman from Georgia. The Georgia committee has only the right to recommend a successor to Johnson, according to rules of the republican national oigamza tion. Final decision and many lead ing Georgia republicans will join the move to prevent the recognition of Davis, it is reported. The state meeting was held at Fulton county courthouse. There are only 18 white members of the state committee, and the negro vote was the deciding factor in the bal loting. Only one oallot was cast, it was said. Davis has been prominent in re publican politics of the state for the past several years, and Mr. Tucker his chief opponent, formerly was chief deputy marshal for the north ern district of Georgia, but resign ed last fall to manage the national election for the republicans in this state.

RINER Ey foreit, Americus A. & M. yesterday won from the Cochran I A. & M. Th forfeit score be ng y Ito 0 At rhe same time Ymeri ' ci.- High was defeated 'ey Colur.’.-' 1 bus High in Columbus, 39 to 6, A report from the local A. & M. 1 school is to the effect that in the last four minutes of play, Cochran' attempted to pass, the ball was fum bled, and Hogg of Americus, recov ered the ball from Cochran, raced' 40 yards for a touchdown, before the Cochran men knew what was happening. Die Cochran coach protested, en tering into heated argument with ( the referee. Then the referee ruled the ball a fumble, in favor ofshrdl the local boys, the coach pulled h s men off the field, thereby forfeit ing the game. i In the third quarter, Cochran in tercepted a forward pass and made their only touchdown, and failing to place kick, were allowed 6 points. Had Cochran finished the game they might have at least tied the score, as it was highly possible for Americus to fail to place kick. This would have made the score 6 to 6, whereas the forfeit gave the score; to Americus. In Columbus, the Columbus High walked away with -the Americus High by the score of 39 to 6. We; expected the Columbus boys to' have an edge on the local bunch,! but the size, of the score was a! great ntrnent.
