it will‘fls—;u;ce of great gratifi
cation to his many friends all over the
state to know that Col. Henry S.

consented to have his name presented
to the people of Georgia as candidate

Colonel Jones, who is a native Geor
zizn, has lived all of his life in this
state and has always devoted himself
to its best interests. He has been
very active both in his public and re
ligious endeavors, and has acquired
a well-deserved reputation for un
swerving integrity and devotion to
duty.
Colonel Jones has practiced law in
Richmond County for over thirty
years, and it is a tribute to his hon
esty and ability that at this time the
Bar of Richmond County has unani
mously and urgently endorsed him for
the " ' of Judge of the Court of

As further evidence of the esteem
in which Colonel Jones is held, it is
interesting to note that he has re

all three of the Representatives from
Richmond County.
Colonel Jones is a man of splendid
education and firm religious princi
ples, being a graduate of Mercer Uni
versity and having held many respon
sible positions in the church. He is
also very prominent in Masonic cir

President of the Georgia Anti-Saloon

mower forward furiously, and
catching Mr. Cobb’s legs just
above the ankle in vibrating

The mules were stopped imme

He is about 60 years of age.

ATTEMPT TO ENJOIN -
STATE VETERINARIAN
Cordele, Ga., September 4.—].
Gordon Jones, representing a
large number of citizens of
Thomas, Colquitt, Lowndes and
Brooks counties, fiied in the su
perior court of Thomas county
Saturday a suit for injunction
against Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen,
state veterinarian, and the local
cattle inspectors of Thomas coun
ty.
~ The petition was presented to
Judge Walter F. Sheppard, of the
Atlantic judicial circuit, at Clax
ton, Ga., Friday by Jones, and an
order of the court was passed re
quiring the defendants to appear
before Judge W. E. Thomas, of
the southern circuit, at Valdosta,
Ga., on September 23, and show
why permanent injunction should
not be granted against them, from
further enforcing the compulsory
dipping of native cattle, which
are claimed to be immune in the
carrying on of the cattle tick
eradication campaign put on by
Dr. Bahnsen in a number of coun
ties of the state.
The complainants allege that
native cattle are immune from
any contagious or infectious dis
cases caused by reason of the
cattle having ticks on them. Mr.
Jones attacks the constitutionali
ty of the acts of 1909 and 1910 on
the ground that there is no pro
vision made for the state veteri
narian and his agents to put on
the people an arbjtrary rule and
force the dipping of cattle, which
are said to be immune from the
disease which they claim can be
eradicated.
HUSBAND OF DEAD LEX
INGTON WOMAN HELD
Athens, Sept. 4.—Thaddecus
Chafin, arrested at the home of
his mother at Lexington late yes
terday, after the funeral of his
murdered wife, and suspected of
the crime, and rushed to the coun
ty prison here for safe keeping,
was spirited away from the third
story jail floor of the big down
town court house in the heart of
Athens and taken in an automo
ble by Sheriff Watkins, of Ogle
thorpe, and Detective Scott Jask
son, presumably to Atlanta.
Across the street from the
courthouse in the big Moss audi
torium tonight Hon. Hugh M.
Dorsey addressed the people of
this section of the state. Hun
dreds of Oglethorpe county peo
ple were expected by the officers
to attend the meeting. The Clarke
county jail is mob proof and the
leading Oglethorpe county peo
ple declared that Chafin was as
safe in the jail at Lexington as
in Athens or Atlanta, and that
there was not the slightest dan
ger of anything like resistance to
the law or to the officers, but the
precauton was taken.
Chaffin made a statement to
visitors in the jail today that he
was not guilty, that he was sev
eral miles away from the scene of
the murder at the time, and that
there was another “man in the
case,” who might know more
about t than any one eclse. The
clothing of the dead woman is
said to have been found in a tub
at the spring back of the home
without a sign of blood on them.
Other developments are expect
ed at any time in this most sen
sational case that has stirred this
section in years. - |

primary race by a good margin.
“Governor Harris will carry
more than 100 counties easily,”
said the headquarters manage
