from Mt. Vernon enroute home,
Their gasoline had run low when
they reached Alamo, and while

Clements met several of his
friends. Ue is very much grati
fied over the encouragement
given him throughout the dis i

To The Memory
of C. P. Thompson
Jackson, Ga , April Bb, 1914
EDITOR EAGLE:
I was greatly shocked last
week on seeing an account of
the death of Col. Clinton P.
Thompson. It was my pleasure
to know Col. Thompson for more
than a year, and during that
time we were often together.
He was the hardest person I ever
met to get acquainted with, and I
once thought/him of a mean and
selfish disposition, but such was
not the case as subseqent events
proved to me.
Ingratitude had no place in
the man’s nature. If you did
him a kindness he never forgot
it, and stood always ready to
recompense a friend. Col.
Thompson was o^eof the bright
est lawyers of my acquaintance,
and no attorney ever worked
harder to advance the interest
of a client than he, and because
of his zeal, he was often thought
to be harsh and domineering by
other attorneys, but he was not,
he was fair. ,
Col. Thompson was a man of
profound knowledge of the law
and was a tireless worker for
the up build and advancement of
Wheeler county, and for this, if
for no other reason, he will be
greatly missed.
The'account of the floral offer
ing’s that you spoke of in your
last week’s paper, bears elo
quent evidence of the esteem in
which he was held by his many
friends, and had I been there, I
too would have placed a flower j
upon his bier. I

J, Randolph Anderson, of Savannah, Candidate for Governor.
Since announcing his candidacy for
governor, J. Randolph Anderson of Sa
vannah, has received the most encour
aging assurances of support from prac
tically every section of the state.
Mr. Anderson’s candidacy has met
with enthusiastic reception in North
Georgia, where he has a farm at Ma
rietta, upon which he spends much of
his time, as well as in the Southern
section where he lives. If early Indi
cations in the campaign mean any
thing, Mr. Anderson already seems to
be running a winning race.
Many of the newspapers of the state
are already actively supporting him
and others have volunteered to do so.
MR. ANDERSON'S
ANNOUNCEMENT.
In his formal announcement of his
candidacy for governor, Mr. Anderson
says:
“Savannah, Ga., April 15, 1914.
‘‘To the People of Georgia:
“I beg leave to announce myself as
a candidate for the Governorship,
subject to the regulations of the.next
general primary.
“In asking to be entrusted with what
I consider to be the highest honor in
the gift of our people, I am glad to
feel that my candidacy involves no I
factional issues and should arouse no I
factional aptnit. The spirit of fac
tionalism has happily about died
away in Georgia, i^rd in the state, as
in the nation, we Democrats are lined
up with practically unbroken ranks in
support of the great measures our
party is taking for the common good.
I am able therefore to come before you
simply as a Georgian and a Democrat,
who aspires to devote his best ener
gies and talents to the welfare, and
upbuilding of his native state.
“Our material growth during the
past three decades has been so rapid
and so great that in some respects
we have outgrown the provisions
made by our laws, and in conse
quence the state and its institutions
are in some directions being ham
pered and held back. Georgia's great
need today is that her people should
have a period of political rest in
which to have the time and oppor
tunity^to concentrate their attention
and efforts upon a thorough over
hauling and readjustment of her busi
ness methods and system. We need
to apply ourselves for a time to put
ting our house and affairs in order,

FOLEY KIDNEY PILL

the state that Is pressing upon us.
SEES AN END OF
POLITICAL STRIFE.
“We have had a surfeit of political
strife. Let us now for a while de
vote ourselves to measures for
bringing the sunshine of prosperity
to all the various business activities
of the state and into the homes and
lives of her individual citizens. I
will endeavor to invite your atten
tion to these matters more in detail
during the progress of the campaign.
My long service in the house and
senate, since 1905, has made me famil
iar with the affairs and needs of the
state and has qualified me to be of
service to you as Governor.
“Circumstances have arisen under
which, by operation of law, the duty
may be devolved upon me of serving
as Acting Governor for some part of
the current term. This would re
quire me to leave my home and sur
render my profession and all business
connections. Such a contingency nat
‘ urally prompts me to seek election
for the next regular term and gives
me, I trust, some personal claim to
ask for it, so that I may at least be
i allowed to remain in office long enough
i to be given a fair trial both as to my
desire and as to my ability to serve
you well.
PROHIBITION QUESTION
ALREADY SETTLED.
“Some inquiry has been made as to
how far the prohibition question may
be involved in my candidacy. I wish
to state that it Is not involved at all.
Prohibition should no longer be con
sidered a political issue in Georgia. It
has become a matfer of established
law, and I think most of the prohibi
tion leaders now agree that the law is
i sufficient and that continued political
i agitation of the subject is no longer
■ needed, and would be unwise. No sub
i stantial demand exists anywhere in
Georg-ia for its repeal, and it should
: be regarded as an issue that is now
I settled and behind us.
i “If I am elected, it will be my duty
■ to regard and treat the prohibition
i law as one of the settled, established
■ laws of the state, and in this, as in
- all other matters, I will try to dis-
I charge my duty faithfully, fearlessly
■ and fully.
, “J. RANDOLPH ANDERSON.”
