City, On Casualty List Of
American Soldiers.
Capt. Henry Gee Jewett Williams,
former rector of Saint Stephens Epis
copal Church, this city, was killed In
action in France June 11, according
to a cablegram received In this coun
try Friday evening. He was the first
former Milledgeville man killed in ac
tion since the beginning of the war.
Teh news of the death of Captain
Williams was received by Chancellor
David C. Barrow, of the University of
Georgia, in Athens. Chancellor Bar-
row is the _ father-inlaw of the former
Milledgeville man.
At the time the cablegram announc

JUDGE E. R. HIRES IS
SQUARELYJN RACE
Well-Known Milledgeville At
torney Issues His Formal
Announcement For Judge
Ocmulgee Circuit.
While it has been generally known
that Judge Edward R. Hines would
he a candidate for judge of the Su
perior courts of the Ocmulgee circuit,
his formal announcement to this el
ect was handed to The News Monday
in substantiating the former reports.
Although few people of this circuit
will experience any surprise in learn
ing of the formal announcement of
Judge Hines, much interest will be
attached to the report as it is received
Ihroughout the several counties com
prising this judicial circuit. In issu
ing his announcement the Milledge
ville candidate gives many reasons
showing why he feels that his candi-
lacy should receive the consideration
of the voters of this circuit.
The friends of Judge Hines are al
ready taking much active interest in
the furtherance of his campaign and
GIVES RECEPTION
FORS. S, STUDENTS
Teachers Attending Summer
School Royally Entertained
On Mansion Lawn Saturday
Evening.
One of the most enjoyable events
ever taking place in Milledgeville in
many months took place aSturday
evening when more than eight hun
dred teachers of the Georgia Normal
and Industrial College Summer School
were entertained on the lawn of the
old Governors’ Mansion by the people
of Milledgeville.
Music for the occasion was furnish
ed- by the one hundred and eighteenth
Field Artillery Band, of Camp Wheel
er, composed of twenty-five Instru
ments. This feature of the entertain
ment added to the decided pleasures
of the event and those present ex
pressed great appreciation for the
courtesy shown by the soldier mu
sicians.
The entertainment was one of
public nature and hundreds gathered
about the place to take advantage of

to her husband's mother, In Lcrains
near Macon.
Captain Williams was widely known
in Milledgeville having served as rec
tor of St. Stephens Church during the
years of 1913 and 1914. During his
stay in this city he became well iden
tified with the religious forces of this
community and he had hundreds of
admirers here who were saddened
deeply by the news of his death.
After leaving Milledgeville Captain
Williams went to the University of
the South (Sewanee) where he held
the chair of New Testament Greek.
It was while he was holding the chair
In this University that the United
States entered into the war. Imme
diately he offered his services to the
Government, but expressed a desire
to go with the men. not as a chaplain,
though qualified for the Episcopal
ministry, but with the men. He at
tended the first officers’ training
school In Atlailta and graduated with
high honors, as lie had done at the
institutions which he attended. He
became nnofficer of the line as he had
wished to he.
Captain Williams was in the 32fitli
Infantry, which was trained at Amp
G rdon and in his regiment are a num
ber of South Georgia men.
According to friends of the family
Captain Williams arrived in France
only about six weeks ago. It was
rather surprising to many people that
lie should have been in action in so
short a time.
Besides Ills wife and little dauphter,
Uis mother, Captain Williams is sur
vived by three sisters, Mrs.' Eldridge
Cubaniss (nee Miss Martha Williams)
of Brlingbroke; Miss Hannah Wil
liams and Miss Duchie Williams, who
reside with t heir Mol her, Mrs. Kittle
Jewett Williams at Loraine.
The latter two sisters of Captain
Williams, above referred to are well
known in Milledgeville. having recent
ly graduated from the Georgia Norma!
and industrial College.

muds between now and the date of
j the primary. They say that the Mill-
; edgeville attorney is well fitted for
the bench of the superior court inas
much as he possesses full knowledge
of the law, well recognized as a man
of superior character and unfaltering-
principles.
The announcement issued by Judge
Hines Monday is as follows:
To the White Voters of the Ocmulgee
Circuit:
I hereby announce my candidacy for
the office of Judge of the Superior
Courts of the Ocmulgee Circuit for
the term beginning January 1, 1919,
subject to the rules of the primary or
dered by the Democratic State Com
mittee.
It has been more than half a cen
tury since a citizen of Baldwin coun
ty has held this important office. The
office has been continuously held by
citizens cf Greene county, for nearly
twenty-four years, and by the present
Judge, Hon. James B. Park, for near
ly eight years.
Since the organization of the Oc
mulgee Circuit, no judge, so far as 1
aui informed, has held the office long
er than two terms, and if Judge Park
is re-elected the precedent of a hun
dred years will be broken.
I respectfully solicit the support of
tiic people of the circuit and if elect
ed, I prumise faithfully to devote my
entire time to the discharge of the du
ties of the office. 1 shall give the peo
ple of the circuit, as far as in my
power lies, a prompt, energetic, eco
nomical and business-like administra
tion of the Judicial business of the
circuit. If elected, it will ho a pleas
ure to me, between the regular terms
if court, to visit the several co ntics I
in the circuit, for the purp.se of dis
posing of such motions and chambers
proceedings as may arise, thereby
conserving the convenience of mem
bers of the bar and litigants.
I shall be deeply grateful for the
support of the people for this import
ant and honorable office.
