NEWS NOTES FROM
NEIGHBOR COUNTIES
A, 8. WAY IN RACE FOR JUDGE
SAW MILL AND DRY KILN DES
TROYED—COUNTY AGENT DOING
GOOD WORK—BIG TENT MEET
ING—COUNTY FAIR.
(Tattnall Journal)
A. S. Way is definitely in the race
for judge of the sueprior courts of
the Atlantic circuit. Some months
ago he stated that he would be in it
■ or that he was in it, but his formal
anonuncement was not made until
this week.
Mr. Way has been practicing law
in Reidsville for about twelve years.
Prior to that time he was located in
Savannah, having gone there from
Liberty county, where he was reared.
He has been known to the people of
this circuit for the entire thirty-nine
years he has been practicing law,
and his ability has been recognized
by every one.
His knowledge of law, his familiar
ity with high court decisions, his ju
dicial training gained throughout the
years of his active practice, pecul
iarly fit him for the place he seeks,
and there is no question at all as to
his ability. His opponents freely ad
mit that in all these essentials he is
thorougly capable of efficiently ad
ministering the affairs of the court.
None have anything against his qual
ifiactions; none can speak of his ser
vice if elected in terms other than
most lauditory.
Mr. Way stated last week, at the
time of making his announcement,
that he was in the race to the finish
that he expected to win, and that he
would conduct his campaign on a
plan which he believed the office he
sought required of him.

The saw mill and dry kiln of the
Swainsboro Planning Mill Company
was destroyed by fire about three
o'clock last Thursday morning.
The fire originated in the dry kiln
and had gained such head w r ay before
discovered till it was impossible to
save the kiln or the saw mill adjacent
to the kiln.
The boilers furnishing the steam
and the large planing mill -which -were
also near by, were saved by heroic
work of the citizens and local fire de
partment.
The business -was owned by Mr. J.
R. Coleman and we have not been able
to ascertain the amount of insurance
carried.

(Soperton News)
At a recent meeting of the stock
holders of the Treutlen County Fair
Association definite arrangements
were made for holding a county fair
next fan.
A committee was appointed to inter
est the boys and girls in club work.
It will be remembered that last year
Treutlen county made one of the best
showings in pig club work of any
county in the state. However this
year the county is without a club
agent and the interest will not be as
great, but it Is hoped that enough of
the boys and girls will take up the
work again this year to make an in
teresting exhibit.
Clmmittees will soon be arranged
to go into details as how to best con
duct the fair and to interest the farm
ers in raising exhibits. Many nice
premiums will be offered, which will
be listed at some early date.
