Quartermaster Has Conference
With Governor and Important
Result Is Expected.
Genera! William G Obear, whose
dismissal from th* military service of
Georgia has been urged to the Gov
ernor by Adjutant General Nash, has
conferred with the Governor as to his
(Obear’s) status in the military es
tablishment, but no definite statement
as to ihe results of the conference
have been given out.
General Nash, while qualifying cer
tain statements credited to him.
"stands pat” on his general recom
mendation that General Obear’s posi
tion be abolished and Ills salary
stopped on January 1.
The Governor says he is giving the
cast' his most careful consideration,
ami will make known his determina
tion when he has looked Into every
legal phase of It.
General Obear Is understood to have
taken the position that hlg office of
quartermaster general is legal, and
that h* has every right under the law
to hold It.
Obear Biames Politic*.
It is said also that General Obear
lays all of the '.rouble in the Adju
tant General's office to political and
personal dislike, He makes no bonea
of admitting knowledge of General
Nash’s enmity toward him, and says
ha has purposely avoided coming In
contact with Nash any more than
possible, because of hie realization
that the chief of the department did
not care for him particularly, cither
as an officer or as a man. That,
however, he lias not permitted to In
terfere with his duty as quartermas
ter.
General Nash has gone go far as to
let It be known thst the Governor
must choose between himself and
Obear. If Obear is retained in his
present position, over Nash’s protest,
it will so seriously embarrass the lat
ter that he may resign.
It is whispered that Obear may re
tire gracefully, and thus relieve the
situation, but that is not authorita
tive.
In the meantime the Governor Is
•erplexed. He will not make, either a
personal or political issue of the
trouble in the Adjutant General's of
fice, but will take the course the law
plainly lays dow n.
One of Them Will Go.
At the same time It Is evident that
whatever course- he takes, that course
likely will mean the elimination of
cither Obear or Nash
In regard to Governor Brown’s an
ointment of Obear to be quartermas
ter general, and the statement cred
ited to N-ish that. Brown made the
appointment "purely through kind
ness of heart.” General Nash says:
"Governor Brown, in retaining Gen-
oral Obear in office, obeyed the man-
flat es of the State laws, and restored
the two offices hich had been con
solidated. or merged into one, by his
predecessor as he held at all times
the State’s lan -- supreme.
"At that time there existed no Fed
eral laws conflicting with the State
laws, and Governor Brown was en
tirely right in restoring the two of
fices as prescribed hv the State law
Now, however, the Federal law does
not recognize the office of quarter
master general, and the State law®
are also mandatory that conformity
with Federal laws shall he made.
"Therefore. It is now entirely proper |
that the office of quartermaster gen- .
eral be discontinued «->r vacated, and
the State statute repealed at the next
session of the Genera* Assembly."
To Prohibit Hunters
From Baiting Fields
The Game Wardens of the State
have been instructed by Commission
er Charles S. Davis to enforce rigidly
that section of the law which prohib
its the baiting of hunting fields and
the shooting of doves on or near such
fields.
He states that such practices have
been called to his attention and that
he proposes to break them up.
