II. H. Morris, jr., members of the general army staff, of Washington, D. C., spent Friday at the Georgia Military College, holding an exami nation of the cadet battalion. The examination and inspection was interfered with by i - ain which commenced falling - soon after the of ficers began their inspection. The rain made it impossible to have a field inspection, and class-room ex amination had to be held. This is the hardest and most tedious of all mili tary examinations. The cadets, how ever, passed through this trying or deal with flying colors. The officers expressed themselves as being sur prised and gratified at the showing made. Capt. R. G. Cousley, commandant and military instructor of the bat talion, feels that his cadets stood the test finely, and expresses himself as being proud of the record they made. This inspection was held for the purpose of deciding whether the Georgia Military College should be made a junior R. O. T. C. honor school. There are several of these honor schools to be made throughout the country, and these schools are ■ now being inspected by staff officers, j Besides the military feature the j equipment of the school is taken into | consideration. Here is congratulu- j tions to Capt. Cousley and the cadet battalion for the splendid showing made, with the hope that G. M. C. will receive this honor.

All of the candidates have .supporters, in the county, but the race probably lies between Senator Smith and Mr. Pal mer, although Mr. Watson has a number of supporters.
