STATES HIS GOOD REASONS
Says People Have Honored Him
Enough and He Will Not Ask
More-Continuation of Ser
vice Would Be Unfair to His
Friends in Race.

In a letter given out last ngiht,
Hon. j. H. Thomas, solicitor general
OF the Brunswick circuit withdraws
from the race for a third term and
leaves the field to three other candi-
dates.
Mr. Thomas states that his desires
nave been granted and that he feels
II would be unfair to his friends for
him to seek another term, after hay-
ing stated before his first election
that he would be satisfied with two
terms. His letter, Withdrawing from
the race, makes it now a three-corner-
ed fight between Robert L. Bennett.
OF Jesup; Alvin Sellers, of Baxley, and
A. d. Gale, of this city. Mr.. Thomas
letter follows:
"Jesup, Ga, June -, 1916.

pointed me to the office, and by the
Kindness of the voters of the circuit
who have twice elected me, am this
year finishing the two full terms which

deeply grateful to the people for their
kindness, and more especially their

of them have kindly asked me to
change my mind and stand for re-elec-
ton and for that reason | think |
ought to make a public statement of
my intentions at this time.
Learning of my original inclina-
ton to retire at the end of eight
years, three of my friends have an
nounced as candidates for the office.
1t would be unfair to them for me to
now change my original plans. There
may be others who wish TO en,er the

ever, that whoever he may be. he
will be able to render more efficient
service than I have done. The af-
flee carries great responsibility and
he will have my best wishes for his
success.

new pier in front Of the Hotel st. ST.
mons on the island. The piling Is now
almost completed and a walk has al
ready been built from the hotel to the
beach. When finished the pier will be
popular fishing place for guests of
the hotel and visitors to the island.
1t will be 500 feet long and at low tide
will be ten feet above the water. At
the ocean end will be built a substan-
tiai platform with shelter so that
fishermen will be protected from all
kinds Of weather. either sun or rain.
The fishing where the pier will end is
said to be great. The pier is valued
at $l,500 and Is being built through
the efforts of Manager G. II. Jewett as
the owners Of the hotel refused to
stand the entire expense and Mr.. Jew
ett contributed large part. The pier
will be well lighted at night and will
no doubt become favorite promenad-
ing place.

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 1.-THE

the next five years by the United
States office of public roads In Texas,
Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
Mr.. Fauntleroy was in San Antonio
several days looking over the ground
and getting acquainted with some of
the men In charge of good roads work
in Texas, and explained that Texas
portion of the federal appropriation
will be approximately Sf,515,750, but
that in order that any portion of this
may be obtained 1t will be necessary
for the state, or the subdivisions
thereof, to expend at least an equal

Oh. no. II the labor elements and

put the price of wheat Town to one
dollar when the conditions OF the

they are now. Then they put the
price of wheat up to two dollars with

told the farmers not to sell when
market prices were too low and then
told them to sell when prices were
too high. Find the half dozen big
