PEACOCK INTRODUCED
BY COL. FRED HARRIS
On the occasion of his ad
dress in Mt. Vernon Aug.
3rd, Hon. Roscoe Peacock
was introduced by Col. F.
M. Harris, Mayor of Mt.
Vernon, in the following:
Fellow-Citizens of Montgomery
County:
We have with us this morning
one who is a candidate for Con
gress. While still a young man
he has quite a varied experience
in life. He was born and reared
on a farm in Dodge county.
Realizing that his opportunities
on a farm were limited, he set
out to prepare for a greater life.
He worked his way through col
lege, having graduated at the
Berry School, at the Academic
Department of the University of
Georgia, the Law Department of
the University of Georgia, and
studied at the University of
Michigan looking towards the de
gree, Master of Arts, and also
the University of Paris. While
in college, he was a leader in
athletics, and was captain of the
football team, and was elected by
the University as assistant coach
for football. He was also active
in literary work and was presi
dent of one of the debating so
cieties at the University. With
all this, he was able to secure
two degrees from the University
of Georgia in five years. From
an educational standpoint, he is
eminently qualified to represent
the people in the office to which
he aspires.
Yet a young man, he has had
considerable experience in affairs
of government. He was elected
to the State Senate by an over
whelming majority, and was
unanimously elected president
pro tern of the Senate, and was
serving in this capacity when
war was declared. He promptly
resigned to answer the call of his
country. He was exempted from
military service on account of his
office, but he chose to stand the
hardships of war with others,
and enlisted as a private soldier,
rising to the rank of first lieu
tenant in the field artillery. He
was in four of the biggest bat
tles of the war, and was recom
mended for promotion, and for a
distinguished service cross for
bravery in action. He refused a
majority in the judge advocate
department as it would not per
mit him to be on the firing line.
His entire record in the army
was clean and filled with valiant
service to his country, and such
service should now recommend
him to us as a loyal and patriotic
citizen and one who is willing to
risk his life if necessary in the
defense of his country.
He represented us on the bat
tlefields of Fi ance and now that
the battle is done and the sword
laid aside, he desires to continue
to have the privilege by repre
senting us in congress. The spirit
and patriotism which prompted
him to lay down an office to risk
his life and endure the hardships
of army life for his country is an
example worthy of trust and
honor, and 1 take great pleasure
in introducing you to the Hon.
Roscoe Peacock of Eastman,
Georgia, candidate for Congress
of the 12th District of Georgia, j
We wish to announce
to the public that wo
have purchased the I
Cocklield Grocery
Co., and the business
will continue as the
Conner- Dickson Gro
cery Co. It will be
our policy to keep a
clean, up-to-date lino
of groceries. Wo shall
appreciate the patron
age of the public gen
erally, and promise
good service.
