Who is That?
Many soldiers in line recognized the
commander in chief as he passed them
or stopped to question them, but
others did not. One young infantry
man. after General Pershing and the
general in command of that particular
brigade had passed asked:
Who is that with the four stars on

A comrade informed him, where

he had enough to eat or if his feet

while in the army Mr.. Comstock
was cited for distinguished gallantry
for rescuing, under fire, a wounded
superior officer While his regiment
was covering a retirement one of the
officers was shot and fell from his
horse. Facing the enemy's fire Mr..
Comstock returned to his stricken

MIR. Comstock's career as a lawyer
was that of the average successful
country lawyer. He enjoyed the con-

two terms. He was elected judge of
the Wayne circuit court twice. being
nominated without opposition both
times for that office on the Republi-

equivalent to election. He served as

In such a case you would probably
get home about ten-thirty. If you

usually.

A letter has just been received by
MI. Perkins from John II. Mock, sec
rotary of the Albany Chamber OF
Commerce, where a Sid' var move ment
faYoring the change to Eastern time
is on, where referendum has
been conducted TO ascertain public
opinion. Says Mr.. Mock:
Referring to recent correspond
ence relative to the proposition of
having the entire state of Georgia
placed in the Eastern time zone. l
beg to advise that the result OF the
referendum submitted to the citizens
of Albany shows that they are over
whelmingly in favor OF Eastern time.
Out of the several hundred replies
received by this office, only four ex-
pressed a preference for Central
time. Our directors have passed a
resolution officially favoring Eastern
time, and the mayor and council of
ne y of Albany have done likewise.
THE Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
has offered to handle this matter as
a statewide proposition and are maxi
ing the presentation to the Interstate
Commerce Commission on behalf of
all the cities and towns in Georgia
who expressed preference. We have
today forwarded this organization doe
umcnts in the shape of resolution
from this organization and the Mayor
and council, together with the author
ity to act for us in conjunction with
other municipalities in the state.
Il presume that in the interest Of
time and to same unnecessary dupli-
cato nof effort, your organization
will take similar steps. | believe that
if all the cities in Georgia would join
with the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce in handling this matter, they
will be enabled to make out very
strong case and obtain better results
than would come from the action of
a number of individual municipalities
acting Independently"
