While a two-party system Is
highly desirable In Georgia as
well as all other Southern states
that have gone doggedly on down
through the decades voting un
devlatlngly Democratic, this
writer still considers former
Gov. Arnall as the most capa
ble “candidate” In the field. He
can’t campaign now but his fri
ends are and the antl-Maddox
voters and those wbo can’t go

strongly. And In this guber

stranger if Mr. Arnall were to
win out as a write-in.

Cherry Suit
For Entry
Is Denied
Earl K. Cherry, former gui
dance counselor for Jonesboro
Senior High School, has had his
suit seeking to force Clayton
County Ordinary Joe T. Lane
to place his name on the ballot
for school superintendent dis
missed.
Clayton County Superior
Court Judge Harold Banke up
held Ordinary Lane’s demur
rers to a mandamus petition,
asking that the court order
Mr. Lane to place Mr. Cherry’s
name on the ballot.
Mr. Cherry’s petition was de
nied by Ordinary Lane on Sep
tember 21 on the grounds that
Mr. Cherry lacked 14 names
of the required 1,192. Mr.
Lane also denied the petition
on the grounds that Mr. Cherry
had failed file an affidavit that
is required by Georgia law,
Mr. Cherry told the court
that he left an unsworn, undated
letter In the ordinary’s office
the day after the petition was
filed. Judge Banke said that
tire letter did not constitute
a valid affidavit.
Mr. Cherry filed suit against
Ordinary Lane after he issued
the ruling on the petition. The
suit claimed that Mr. Lane
had failed to carry out the
duties of his office.

REDSKINS
BATTLE
TUCKER
North Decatur Rebels Invaded
Klwanls Field Saturday night
and really outdid our Redskins,
31-6.
Captains Lynch and Mayo won
the toss and elected to receive.
Slagle took the kick and brought
It back to the 26-yard line. Hud
low was in at quarterback and
again played his usual fine
game. The ball was handed off
to Kinney who picked up the first
down at the Rebel 49. Carries
by Jackson and Slagle were un
able to continue the drive and
they were forced to pifnt. The
Rebels fumbled but managed to
recover. A penalty against the
Redskins gave the Rebels good
field position and they took ad
vantage of every break. A Reb
broke away for a nice weaving
run down the sidelines before
Williams made the tackle. Their
drive continued and with less
than four minutes gone they
scored, missing the PAT.
The Redskins wer unable to get
on the board during the first
half as the Rebs amassed 19
points.
During half-time the Drlllettes
and the Redskin cheerleaders
performed for our enjoyment.
The second half was dominated
by the Rebels, who added two
more TD’s. The Redskins only
TD was the result of a com
pleted pass from Hudlow to
Slagle, who raced Into the end
zone. The extra point was nulli
fied by a penalty. The final
score was 31-6.
The Redskins will meet the
Tucker Lions tonight at 7:30
at Stone Mountain Memorial
Park.
