State Convention in Macon
Was a Very Tame Affair
Simmons of Gwinnett Tries to Force
Nominations For Senator But is Giv
»n Scant Attention. —Primary Set
on Date IMcked by the Vereen Com
inittee: Recess Had Until October
28th.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 4.—There wasn’t
an outstanding feature to the Walker
state convention here Wednesday, un
less it was weak effort of Major Siin
mons, of Gwinnett, to get through a
convention nomination for the vacant
offices by blocking the primary.
Major Simmons attempted to prove
lo the convention that there is not
time in which to comply with the pro
privions of the Neill primary law;
that the 'necessary (primaries can’t
he held unless the run-off primary
io r senator shall come after the day
of the general election, but the con
vention was not willing to give the
Major hearing much less to follow
his line of reasoning.
There was not a dissenting
voice when the resolution by Mr. M.
H. Ledford was proposed, fixing the
same primary dates as those announc
e,i by the old convention on the twen
ty-eighth. E. W. Jordon was elected
an “office; of this convention for
the purpose of having him receive the
fees and qualification papers for can
didates in the primary for United
States senator and for pension com
missioner, to arrange the details for
holding the two primaries, for re
ceiving and compiling the election re
turns and reporting them to the con
vention on the 28th, in order that
there may be no legal complication,
which it is feared would follow any
thing- like a sine die adjournment at
this time. After electing a new execu
tive committee, adopted a resolution
to recess until ten o’clock the morn
ing of the 28th.
The result of the day’s work was
the election of G. Ed. Maddox, of
Rome, as the state chairman; Mrs.
Anderson as the state secretary, with
Hiram L. Gardner,-of Eatonton, and
F. F. Middlebrooks, as assistants, the
burden of the work falling upon Mr.
Gardner.
Convention In Session
The convention was called to order
by Tobe Daniels, of Troup county, a
member of the old state committee,
after he had asked if Chairman W. J.
Vereen was present. Prayer was of
fered by Rev. W. H. Crowder, of M.a
con, and the convention at once pro
ceeded to business.
N. F. Culpepper, of Merriwether.
was elected temporary chaii;man, and
in his keynote speech, reviewed the
history of the democratic party, and
its ups and downs through the ages.
It was easily taken that Mr. Cul
pepper’s speech was a forecast of
what Governor Walker’s policy will
be.
A resolution was offered by Er
nest Camp, of Monroe,-to repudiate
the action of the old state committee
in postponing the convention. But it
was ruled out of order for the time,
until organization could be perfected
Senator-Elect Ernest Smith nam
inated G. Ed. Maddox, of Rome, for
permanent chairman, and he with the
temporary secretaries were made the
permanent officers of the convention
The reading secretary, H. L. Gard
ner, had procured from the state li
brary a certified list of the election
returns and results and from this all
the uncontested state house officers,
judges and solicitors, who won in the
primary were announced and delclar
ed the nominee of the party.
Attorney Orrin Roberts, of Walton
county, offered in namination the
name of Clifford Walker as the nom
inee for the next governorship of the
state, and this nomination was second
ed by Mrs. Griffith, of Putman, and
others. %
Mr. Walker’s speech of acceptance
brought applause in several of its
phases, but more particularly attract
ed attention wherein he excoriated
what he termed the “Kimball House
Lobby,” in which he all but identified
his point of attack—a power, he said
which had for years throttled deserv
ing legislation.
When the governor-elect had con
cluded, his venerable father was pre
sented to the convention and was giv
en a flattering ovation .
The convention voted to refer all
contests properly filed to the new ex
ecutive committee, with full power to
act.
First District Republicans
Split-up at Savannah Meet
V. SL Anderson of Claxton and Do n 1
Chirk Chosen —Each Claims is Reg
* uhir.—Fight Between Donnelly and
(lark Narrowly Averted.
There will probably be two candi-,
dates for Congress on the Republican ,
ticket from the First Congressional;
district as the result of a turbulent
meeing of the executive committee of,
the party from this district which
was held last night at the Geiger
hotel.
P. M. Anderson of Claxton was
nominated by the delegates who term
ed themselves as the qualified repre
sentatives from the 13 counties com
prising the First Congressional dis
trict while the branch of the party
which contended the convention was
without authority to nominate any
one named Don Clark, an atttorney,
as the Republican candidate for Con
gress. ...
Mr. Clark and Charles E. Donnelly,
delegates from Chatham county, neai
ly came to blows as the meeting ad
journed but cooler heads prevailed
and a fistic combat was prevented. It
was charged by Mr. Clark that Mr.
Donnelly was attempting to steam
roller the convention but the charge
w»s denied by Mr. Donnelly, who
stated that Mr. Clark had no right to
address the meeting as he was not a
duly elected delegate to the conven
tion. , * _

adopted a resolution providing for the
recess until the 28th and elected the
new state executive committee.
The entire proceeding was thorough
ly orderly genteel in its progress and
taken all in all, was a very quiet
and in some respects a tame conven
tion.
Hardwick delegates did not attend
the convention.
An effort to concentrate upori. one
man of the Walker following to car
ry the faction’s standard in the sena
torial primary of October 17th was
without result, the decision reached
being to allow a “fair field with no
favors.”
Resolutions were adopted on the
death of the late Senator Thomas E.
Watson.

The conflict came when A. S. An
derson of Millen, vice chairman to
Chairman- R. A. McCraine, of Savan
nah, called the convention to order.
It was the contention of Mr. Clark and
several othe r persons attending the
convention that a temporary chair
man should be elected by the dele
gates while that Mr.
Anderson automatically became chair
man. A. S. Anderson acted as chair
man and P. M. Anderson was nomi
nated for Congress.
While the meeting was 41 an up-;
road a motion to adjourn was ruled ;
by Chairman Anderson to have been ,
carried and the convention adjourned. 1
After the nomination of Mr. Ander
son and the adjournment of the meet
ing by Chairman Anderson, another
meeting was held. This meeting was
presided over by Dr. Lawton Kirk

nomination of Mr. Clark.

Mr. McCranie, permanent chairman

it was over the question of who should

Columbia Sentinel Will be
Published This Week;
Hammond Modifies Order
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 6th —Judge Hen
ry Hammond, yesterday, modified the
restraining order preventing the pub
lishing of the Columbia Sentinel, and
it will be printed this week. The re
straining order was ordered upon the
showing made by Mrs. Lytle.
Restraining Order By Judge Hammond
011 Petition of J. Miller, Who Claims
Interest in Paper—J. J. Brown to
Bring Resumption of Publication of
Jeffersonian:
A temporary injunction restraining
further publication of The Columbia
Sentinel, the paper edited by the late
Senator Watson, was granted in su
perior court here today by Judge Hen
ry C. HainmonJ. Action for an injunc
tion was brought by J. Miller, alleged
part owner of the publication. A
hearing at which the defendants must
show cause why the injunction should
not be made permanent was set by
Judge Hammond for October 21, at
his chambers in Richmond superior
court in Augusta. J. B. Stevens, of
Thomson, executor of the estate of
Senator Watson, was appointed receiv
j er.
The order the defendants
from taking any action whatsoever
pending the final hearing also from
moving anything belonging to the
partnership, such as property or
money now on deposit in banks.
The plaintiff alleges that the Sen
tinel Publishing Company is a part
nership, composed of Thomas E.
Watson, J. Miller and Mrs. Lytle.
It is also alleged that because of the
death of Senator Watson the partner
ship is disolved, that there are sev
eral thousands of dollars of undivided
profits, of which he is part owner
and on which he seeks a settlement,
and that because of the absence of
Senator WMtson the paper would go
to pieces as a money making propo
sition.
Mr. Miller was farmer sole owner
of The Sentinel, when is was publish
ed in Harlem, county seat of Colum
1 bia county.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 3. —The story told
here by poltitical intimates of the late
Senator Watson is that Miller who
owned the Columbia Sentinel an ordi
nary country weekly newspaper, at
time the old Jeffersonion was sup
pressed by federal order depriving it
of mailing privileges during the war
entered into a partnership with Mr.
Watson by which he turned over the
Sentinel of Mr. Watson control, with
the understanding that Mr. W T atson
was to have entire control of the busi
ness.

NEW SERIES OE U. S.
STUMPS TO REISSUED
- •
Oil, Look! A Stamp .of “Peacock
Blue” —Will SeU for 11 Cents—Com
plete Series Including a Martha
Wasltington.
Washington, D. C., Oct. I.—A new
11-cent postage stamp, peacock blue
with a portarit of Rutherford B. Hayes
will be placed on sale Wednesday at
Fremont, Ohio, in connection with
the commemoration of the birth of
the former President. The first stamp
from the press will be presented to
Mrs. Harding.
The Hayes stamp is the first of a
complete new series to be placed on
sale generally during the next thirty
days. A 5-cent “Roosevelt stamp”
will be ready for distribution Oct. 27
the anniversary of the birth of the
former President. Mr. Roosevelt’s
portrait -was selected for the 5-cent
stamp, the Postoffice Department an
nounced today, because “ths denom
ination is most widely used on letter
to foreign countries where the form
er President’s fame was believed to
be more universal than that of any
other.”
A new 50-cent stamp bearing a pic
ture of the Arlington amphitheater
and the tomb of the unknown soldier
will be placed on sale on Armistice
Day, Nov. 11.
In the new series, the 13-cent stamp
has been discontinued, while 14-cent
aiifi 25-cent stamps have been added.
The portraits and designs for the
entire series are: 1-cent, Franklin; 2_
cent, Washington; 3-cent, Lincoln; 4-
cent, Martha Washington; 5-cent,
Rooseveit; 6-cent, Garfield; 7-cent,
McKinley; 8-cent, Grant; 9-cent, Jef
ferson; 10-cent, Monroe; 11-cent,
Hayes; 12-cent, Cleveland; 14-cent,
Indian; Statue of Liberty;
20-cent, Yosemite; 25-cent, Niagara;
30-cent, Arlington Amphitheater; sl.’
Lincoln Memorial; $2, .Capitol; $5,
America.
The subjects were selected with
careful regard for their suitability,
the department announced, adding.
“The portraits include Washington
and Jefferson as fathers of our insti
tutions; Franklin as the first Post
master General; Martha Washington
to commemorate the pioneer woman
hood of America; Lincoln. Garfield
and McKinley as the martyr Presi
dents; Monroe to mark the foreign
policy associated with his name, with
Grant, Hayes, Cleveland and Roose
velt carrying on the historical line
into a recent day.”
It is claimed that Mrs. Lytle
brought differences between Mr. Mil
ler and Mr. Watson and was really
the cause of Mr. Watson practically
dropping Mr. Miller from the part
nership. Mr. Miller, however, by the
understanding with Mr. Watson, in
some way retained ownership of the
original newspaper plant and the
name of the paper.
It is now understood that the old
line Watson leaders take extreme ex
ception to Mrs. Lytle’s effort to dom
inate in her own way and without any
thought of them or their likes, the
Watson politics of the state. They
particularly take exception to Mrs.
Lytle having undertaken to turn ov
er the Watson following in the state,
through her announcement that The
Sentinel has selected him, to one of
the candidates for the United States
senate.
Quite plainly the action on the part
of Mr. Miller is being followed by a ,
direct break between Mrs. Lytle and
some of the oldest and staunchest of
the old-line populistic Watson follow
ers of the state, for it is known be
yond dispute that there has for a
long time been an extreme cross be
tween Mrs. Lytle and some of Mr.
Watson’s closest supporters and old
political associates.
Immediately following the informa
tion here that The Sentinel has been
enjoined a call was issued by J. J.
Brown for a meeting of the old Jef
fersonian Publishing company, of
which he is vice president, and that
meeting has for its purpose the elec
tion of a new president, to succeed I
Mr. Watson, and revival of the publiea 1
tion of the old Jeffersonian. Mr. j
Brown will be president of the revived j
publfshing company, and will have j
charge of the editorial policy of the j
paper.
In all probability the paper will be j
physically printed at the old plant of j
the Jeffersonian company in Thomson 1
which lately has been used fo r pub
lication of the Columbia Sentinel but
but the editorial and business offices
will be moved to Atlanta where they
will be under the immediate jurisdic-
I tion of Mr. Brown.
I The Miller injunction case in the
matter of further publication of the
Columbia Sentinel nas been set for a
hearing by Judge Henry C. Hammond
in his chambers, in Augusta the 21st
of October. v
Macon. Ga., Oct. 3—lt was announc
1 ed yesterday that the Columbia Sen
tinel, newspaper of the late Senator
! Watson, would support John T. Boi
feuillet. Later, however, the manag
ing editor, Mrs. Louise Lytle, said
' that she would only personally sup
port Mr. Boifeuillet.
instead of oil. The bug stopped at
Mcßean, avHtere the party supplying
the oil evidently got his barrels mix
ed and gave the driver syrup instead
of oil which gave a lot of trouble.
Late Wednesday afternoon the bus
left for Florida none the worse for the
wear.

Atlanta, Ga., Octffiaer 4, 1922. —Ex-
tremely dry, moderately warm weath
er prevailed during the week, with
very light showers at a few points,
mostly in the mountain district or the
extreme southern portion. The
drought has become severe and is pre
venting all plowing for the winter
grains, and is causing rapid deterio
ration of pastures, fall cover crops,
late planted truck- is still some left,
chiefly in the northern division, where
! it is reported as opening prematurely
on account of drought. Corn is all
j ripe, and fodder pulling practically
! completed; corn is good on low
! lansd only, elsewhere mostly poor.
• Sugar-cane is good, but would be
much benefited by rain; it is begin
| ning to mature. The yield of sweet
I potatoes and peanuts is fair to good.
! The hay crop is good and well cured
i Rice in places is reported as drying
I up. Although fall plowing is now
backward, there is, of course, plenty
of time to plant the winter cereals
J as soon as the ground has been soften
'ed by rain.
This is the last bulletin for the pres

selected number of correspondents
will be asked to render reports during
the winter to the Atlanta office of the

of SSO on Subscription Dances.
At quite a lengthy session of the
city council Tuesday afternoon it was
decided to have J, B. McCreary, of
Atlanta, make a preliminary survey
of three miles of the city’s streets for
paving. This survey will be made
soon and will show just what it will
oost to do the paving . It will give
tach property owner just what fron
age he has and what it will cost him
Recently the legislature passed a lo
co! bill providing for street paving in
Waynesboro and this is the next step
before anything can be done regard
ing it. After the survey is complet
ed then it w 11 be necessary to call
an election and let the people decide
about how large a bond issue is want
ed to do the paving.
The paving of Waynesboro’s prin
cipal streets will add more than any
of us now realize and will be one of
die greatest improvement ever made.
The idea of paving is sponsored by
the Rotary Club and the city fathers
are taking the right steps in this di
rection. Mr. McQeary, of Atlanta was
the guest of the Rotary Club while in
the city this week, and it was at
