Moved by what I conceive to be
a laudable ambition to advance in
my chosen profession of the Taw,
I take this opportunity to an

the office of Solicitor-General of
the Stone Mountain Judicial
Circuit.
I was born in DeKalb county in
1912 and have lived in that county
since then, with the exception of
about three years during which I
was employed in the office of
Honorable Robert Ramspeck and
attending George Washington Uni
versity for ths purpose of study
ing law. I had previously attend
ed Emory University for three
years. I was admitted to prac
tice in 1935 and have been en
gaged since that time in the
practice as the junior member of
the firm of Howard, Tiller –
Howard.
As to my ability as a lawyer, I
refer you to the Bench and Bar
before whom I have engaged in
the practice of law.
As to my character and stand
ing in the community in which I
reside. I refer you to my neigh
bors and fiends throughout the
Circuit who have known me since
childhood.
If you should honor me with
your vote I can only promise that
I will strive diligently at all times
to faithfully, fearlessly, impar
tially and conscientiously dis
charge the important duties of
this responsible office.
For your favorable considera
tion of my candidacy I shall ever
be grateful.
Faithfully your*,
PIERRE HOWARD.
August 1 Is Closing
Date To A pply for
Classing of Cotton
August 1st is the closing date for
acceptance of requests for free
classing of cotton under the Smith
Doxey service of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, according to
R. R. Childs, agronomist in cot
ton improvement for the Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service.
Mr. Childs said only one-variety
communities having definite one
variety organizations are eligible
for the free classing service. Farm
ers, however, are not required to
plant their entire crops in an adop
ted variety to be eligible for free
classing, he pointed out.
The Government classing serv
ice enables farmers to know the
grade and staple of their cotton,
and it also furnishes a good yard
stick for measuring the quality of
the individual farmer’s lint, the
cotton specialist explained.
Four Georgia tobacco markets,
Valdosta. Adel. Nashville, and
Douglas, will have sendees of fed
eral leaf inspectors when the
markets open on August 8 ,
