AFTER ALL WHAT
IS REALLY 4 NAME?
MEMBER OF PRESS PARTY TELLS
GOOD JOKE ON TWO WELL
KNOWN GEORGlANS.

Getting it down to "t' in making
slight errors that rebound to the
good of the right party, was eXempli-
fed in the case of Judge j w Ben
net, of Brunswick, and Judge J. W.
Bennett of Waycross, this week a
case OF endorsement for the southern
judgeship appointment.
The story has leaked out through
out Of the visiting members of the
Georgi% Press association here for
several days past Just how he got
it is not recorded, but the story is
verified and authentic.
The other day, it will be remem-
bered, the names Of not a few south
GeOrgians were sent to the president
by the junior senator from Georgia
list from which il was suggested
that the president select a nominee
to refer to the senate for confrma-
ton.
The president sent in another name
altOgether-but that is beside the
story
A friend of Judge Bennett, the
WaycroGS judge, wired Judge Andrew
J. Cobb, at Athens, and requested that
he wire an endorsement of j. W
Bennett for the judgeship OF the
southern district.
Judge Cobb did 8o-and to make il
explicit, specified that the j. w. Ben
net was from Brunswick and we'll
known to the former supreme JUS
tice of the state and few other
facts were added
After the wire had gone, Judge
Cobb noticed the telegraphic request
and saw that the name was spelled
with two ''t's", which he knew was
not the way the Brunswick man
spells his name; for the Brunswick
lawyer married cousin of Judge
Cobb and was close school boy
friend of the Athens jurist and knows
him pretty we'll. Furthermore. Judge
Cobb noticed that the wire had come
from Waycross and not from Bruins
wick.
The first that Judge ]. w. Bennett
here knew of the endorsement by
Judge Cobb was in a letter sent him
Immediately by Judge Cobb.
The letter alluded to the fact that
a request had come to him for an
endorsement of Judge Bennett here
and that surprised the Brunswick
man, for be knew of no such request.
1t stated that the endorsement re
queSted had gone forward promptly,
which was gratifying, for Judge An
drew Cobb's endorsement carries in
fluence and value.
But there was a postscript:
Dear Joe: Since sending the en-
dorsement, have noticed the wire !
received and find that the endorse
ment was requested for Judge John
w. Bennett, of Waycross."
And
"However, / should have endorsed
you just the same"

DRAFTED MEN CAN
ENLIST IN ARMY
BRUNSWICK RECRUITING OFF,
GEE ADVISED BY WIRE
YESTERDAY.

According to a telegram received in
the city yesterday afternoon from
Capt. A A. Aveilhe. the adjutant of
the First regiment, Recruiting Officer
Harwell, of this city was authorized
to enlist drafted men, or. that is,
men who have already been drawn
into the service. In the beginning, it
was thought that the drafted men
would not be eligible for volunteer
enlistment, and this telegram of Capt
Aveilhe has served to claer up the
situation.
Lieut.. Harwell is of the opinion
that drafted men would do well to
enlist right now and thus secure
places in the army of an agreeable
nature. He shows that those who
are drafted might land unpleasant
places, while those who enlist come
very near to getting located in the
commands they favor
Lieut.. Harwell is doing nicely with
the recruiting office here, and has
sent eight men to Camp Wheeler
this week
