GEORGIANS LIVING
IN THE WEST
Eormer Dalton Citizen first
Mayor of Enid, Oklahoma
ACTIVE PART IN POLITICS
John Galt Has Made Name for Self
In New State of Oklahoma
Other Georgians.
The Savannah Press recently
printed an editorial headed
“Georgians in the West,” and in
this list of prominent men in the
new state of Oklahoma appeared
the name of John L. Galt, a
former citizen of this city. Mr.
Galt, with his three brothers,
left this state to cast thetr lots
with the new West many years
ago. All of the 1 fathers did
well and prospered, but to*John
L. came the political honors of
the family.
He was elected mayor of the
new city of Enid, being the first
man to take his place at the
head of municipal affairs. The
Press is wrong in saying that
Mr. Galt is a native of Dalton,
for he w-as born and raised in
Mutray county, near Spring
Place. The family later moved
to Dalton and resided here for a
while. He has been married
twice, his wife who now lives,
being a daughter of Hon. Pleas
McGhee, a prominent citizen of
Murray county.
Since moving West, Mr. Galt
has returned to Dalton several
times i(in fact, he makes it a
habit to return once a year). He
is well known in this part of the
state, where he has a large num¬
ber of close personal friends, who
are glad to know that he is doing
so well in Oklahoma. When he
left Dalton he moved to Indian
Territory, where he has lived
ever since, Indian Territory be¬
ing embraced in the new state
of Oklahoma.
Following is the Press’ list of
the Georgians who are doing so
well in the West:
“One of the most prominent
men in the Southwest is a form¬
er Savannahian, who success has
been remarkable—Mr. Charles J,
West, a Savannah boy, but now
a resident of Enid, Okia.. who
has just been elected attorney
general of the new r state by a
majority of approximately 84,000
over his Republican opponent.
Major A. P. Watson, Demo
crat, a native of Marietta, Oobb
county, Getrgia, was elected a
member of the new state’s first
corporation commission; Pressley
B. Cole, formerly of Newnan,
Ga., but now of McAlester,
Okta., was elected judge of the
Fourth judicial district; E. B.!
Hill, once of Atlanta, Ga , but
now a resident of McAlester, was
candidate for from :
a congress
the Fourth congressional district,
but immediately before the Dem-j
oiratic primary, withdrew in
favor of the Hon. Charles D. I
C irter, the successful candidate.
Hdl’s firm, McCurtain & Hill,
has just been appointed attor¬
neys for the Choctaw Nation.
Howard E. Elder, a Waycross,
Ga., boy, but now a prominent
attorney of Oklahoma City,
Ofela., is a well known public
speaker, and has taken a most
active part in the new state’s
Democratic politics. Major D.
M- Rumph, many years ago a
resident of Valdosta, Ga., was
elected the first county treasur¬
er of Carter county, and John L.
Galt, formerly commander In¬
dian Territory division, Confed¬
erate Veterans, and first mayor
of Enid, is a native of Dalton,
Ga.
The above facts show that in
the whirlpool of Oklahoma poli-

to get up from twelve to twenty
times a night, and I was all
bloated up with dropsy and my
eyesight was so impaired I could
scarcely see one of my
across the room. I had given
up hope of living, when a friend
recommended Foley’s
Cure. One 50 cent bottle worked
wonders and before I had taken
the third bottle the dropsy had
gone, as well as all other
toms of Bright’s disease.” (},
