RONALD PRINCE (C) FINDS HE CAN'T RUN FOR COMMISSIONER
Katherine Camp Checks Law; Harry Powell Looks On At Right
Powell Seeking Reelection; Hot
from page 1-B
primary this year.
INTERVIEW
The commissioner was
amicable throughout the mor
ning and accepted an invitation
from The News to be interview
ed about his decision to run for
reelection.
The race between Jon
Pa:jyne, incumbent probate
judge and chief magistrate for
the county, and retired textile
executive O. G. Morehead is
also expected to draw a lot of
voter interest this summer.
Payne is seeking his fourth
term in office. Morehead was
formerly general manager of
Bigelow-Sanford Co. in Sum
merville and Lyerly. His wife,
Pegyy, is psychometrist for the
Chattooga school system.
SCHOOL BOARD
The race for the Chattooga
Board of Education heated up
when two incumbents were
challenged, one by two
candidates.
Joyce Johnson, the incum
bent, is seeking her third term
on the post 1 seat of the coun
ty school board. She is being
challenged by Joe Cox, a Sum
merville resitzent who works for
Inland Container Corp. west of
Rome, and Terry C. Money, an
electrical contractor in gum
merville who serves on the ci
ty's recreation board. Mrs.
Johnson is the brother of com
mission candidate Parker.
William “‘Bill”" Mitchell of
Subligna, who is running for
his fourth four-year term, is op
posed by Jerry ‘‘Red’” Burton,
chief of the Subligna Fire
Department and a self
employed logger.
REPRESENTATIVE
State Rep. John Crawford
of Lyerly was without opposi
tion until the final day of%uali
fying when former newsman
and congressional aide Tim
Perry of Trion paid his fee in
Atlanta.
Crawford has served con
secutive terms in the Georgia
House of Representatives since
1978 and has weathered
several tough campaigns.
Perry formerly worked for
the Rome News-Tribune and
The Chattooga Press, as well
as LaFayette office manager
for U. S. ¥lep. George “Budfy”
Darden.
Reports that another can
didate might qualify against
Crawford ?aile(gl to materialize.

TERRY MONEY RUNNING FOR SCHOOL BOARD SEAT
Two Candidates In Race Against Mrs. Johnson
August. The nominee will then
have to take on a Republican
challenger in November. Both
are former assistant district at
torneys in Lomenick's office.
The Lookout Mountain
Judicial Circuit serves Chat
tooga, Dade, Walker and
Catoosa Counties.
Lomenick, a LaFayette
Democrat, qualified to seek
reelection as expected. Ralph
Van Pelt, a former Chattooga
resident who now practices law
in Ringgold, announced earlier
this spring that he would run
against Lomenick as a
Democrat. He qualified last
week.
Roland Enloe, a Rossville
lawyer, said Friday that he had
qualified to run against
Lomenick as a Repu%lican.
Enloe was the court-appointed
attorney for Jonathen f:rrells.
an Oceana, W.Va. man who
was convicted in March of
murdering an elderly Chat
toogaville woman last August
and of beating her sister with
a steam iron. Jarrells is on
death row.
GOP OPPONENT
Sen. Waymond ‘‘Sonny”’
Huggins of LaFayette, who
represents the 53rd state
senatorial district, got a free
ride in the Democratic Primary
but faces Republican opposi
tion in November from Mrs.
Martha Hulgan of Chat
tanooga Valley in Walker
County. She owns an elevator
repair firm in Chattanooga,
Tenn., and has been active in
educational issues in Walker
during the past several years.
Sheriff Gary McConnell,
who has served in that slot
since 1967 except for one four
year term, (%ualified to seek
election on the first day of
qualifying. He is opposed in the
Democratic primary by Fred
Stewart, a former sheriff who
was defeated by McConnell's
father, John Frank, in 1964.
Stewart had defeated
challenger McConnell in 1960
but was unsuccessful the se
cond time round.
The 1960 and 1964 elections
were rife with allegations that
bootleg%ers had been allowed
almost free run of the county
without undue interference
from local lawmen.
STEPS DOWN
Judge Espy, citing his age,
decided to step down from
State Court. Summerville
lawyer Carlton Vines qualified
for the post and will be unop
posed for a four-year term in
the nonpartisan primary in
August and in the general elec
tion in November. Vines will
take office next January.
Albert C. Palmour won a
vote of confidence when he
didn’t receive any opposition
for the State Court solicitor's
(prosecutor’s) past. He was ap
[lJ-lointed by Gov. Joe Frank
arris in December, 1986 to fill
an unexpired term.
SCHOOL SUPT.
Don Hayes, Chattooga
school superintendent, also
breathed a sigh of relief near
noon Friday when it became
clear he wouldn't have any op
position. Reports that one or
two elementary school prin
cipals might run against Hayes
were rampant last Thursday
afternoon and Friday morning
but the noon deadline Friday
came and went without anyone
but Hayes qualifying for the
post.
Hugh Don Hall, tax com
missioner, also got a free ride
for another four-year term
when he was the only can
didate to qualify for the posi
tion. Reports that his 1984 op
ponent might qualify again
proved unfounded.
Sam L. “Lann” Cordle
escaped another election year
without being opposed as clerk
of court. He Eept kidding Mrs.
Camp and Mrs. Ted Martin
throughout the morning, urg
ing them with a grin to “go on
home’’ before the noon closing
time.
Coroner Earle Rainwater
was the only candidate to
qualify for the post he now
holds.
