4:45 Wednesday evening a dis
patch from Atlanta announced
that Col. W. S. West of this city,
had been appointcdiOnited States

he would be named by the gover

recognize the claims of Colonel
West and South Georgia.

man whom he thought would be
most acceptable and whose ap
pointment would reflect the
greatest credit on the State.
