RESIGNS BENCH
Well Known Iurist To
Return To Private
Law Practice

Judge Andrew Cobb, of Athens,
brother of Capt John A. Cobb of
Americas, has just resigned from the
bench of the Western circuit, because
Of its onerous duties. Judge Cobb
who will return to private law prac-
tice, is well known here, where he
has visited often. He spent several
days here early this month and was
the Armistice Day orator. The fol
lowing news report tells of his re-
tirement:
THENS, Nov. 27.-Judge Andrew
j. Cobb, of the Western circuit, ten
dered his resignation Friday as judge
of the Superior courts to Governor
Hugh M. Dorsey. The resignation
was accepted and Blanton Fortson
was Immediately appointed to fill the
unexpired term, which expires on the
sixteenth Of January, 1928.
Judge Cobb is one of the first jur-
lists of the state. He has served as
Judge of the Western circuit since
1917 He was born in thens. April
10, 1857 His parents were General
Howell and Mary Ann (Lamar) Cobb.
His father was governor of Georgia,
speaker of the national house of rep
resentatives, secretary of the treasury
in the cabinet of President Buchanan
and major general in the Confederate
army.
In letter addressed to Governor
Dorsey Judge Cobb gives os his rea-
sons for resigning the judgeship the
desire to return to the active practice
of law, onerous duties imposed in the
office of judge on account of the
! large circuit, it being the second larg,
est in the state, and the number OF
courts held in various counties. In
his closing remarks to Governor Dor
sey, Judge Cobb says: In retiring
from public office do not wish the
impression to be made that / intend
to devote the remainder of my years
to the mere selfis bend Of providing
a competency for myself. have from
the time | was young man, taker
an active interest in public affairs
and S do not know that l would re
strain myself in the future if I were
to make the attempt.
even during the time of my occu
pancy of the bench L let only the
matter of judicial pripriety restrain
me in regard to participation in pub
lie affairs; in private life / will have
only the restraint that is brought
about by being engaged in an occu
patton of profession which is thc
primary work of my days"

TOPLAN SCOUT
WORK IN STATE
T M. Furlow To ATTEND
Atlanta Meeting From
District

An exceedingly significant meet
ing from the standpoint of the boys
of Georgia is to be held in Atlanta
Dec. 2. At the meeting will be or
ganized the committee to have di-
rection and supervision of the Boy
Scout work in the four southeastern
states, Georgia, South and North
Carolina and FLORIDA. AZ the same
time, the organization committee
which Is to nave charge Of the work
of the development in Georgia Will
meet. The meeting is called by Il.
R. Galloway, of Lagrange, chairman
of the organization committee, on
behalf of the National Council, Boy
Scouts of America, and will be un-
der the leadership of E. r. Gallo
way. DIR. Geo. j. Fisher, OF New
York, the director of field work for
the Boy Scouts of America, and
Stanley A. Harris, of Memphis, Ma
tional Field Executive.
Great progress has been made III
Scouting within the past few years.
More than five hundred thousand
Scouts and Scout leaders are def
nitely registered with the National
Council. Councils have been organ
lied in Georgia at Atlanta, Macon,
Savannah, Columbus, Rome, Au-
gusta, Valdosta and Waycross. But
still, the majority of the boys of
Georgia have not been touched, be-
cause Georgia is decidedly rural
state. There are now one hundred
sixty-seven troops outside Of these
cities, all doing more or less effec-
tive work. Still, only one boy in
every sixty in Georgia is Scout,
while in Florida there is one Scout
for every twenty-seven boys, in
North Carolina one for every forty
one, in Texas one for every twenty
eight, in Kansas one for every six
teen, and in Utah one for every elev-
en-.

Before the flight, all the pilots
asked for ships equipped with Ford
made Liberty motors.
Due to the nature of the work
which engaged the expedition, the
fleet required a period of three
months to complete the trip. Since
all the original motors completed the
journey without repairs or replace
ments, this is believed to be record

Another Triumph For
Ford Liberty Motors

Ford-biult Liberty motors carried
the four army airplanes which on
October 20 completed the 5000 mile
journey from Mitchell Field, Long
Island, to Nome, Alaska, and return.
The fleet was greeted over New York
city a flotilla of forty army planes
which escorted it to Mineola. The
returning planes touched their wheels
to earth at 3:15 in the afternoon.
The Alaskan flying expedition,
commanded by Captain st. Clair
Street, undertook the journey to
demonstrate the durability of mod
ern airplanes and motors, and to eff
feet the establishment of an aerial
route to the Northwestern corner of
the American continent and Asia
Such a route would bring mail from
Alaska to the States in two or three
days, whereas the present method of
transmission requires thirty days.
"Talk about service" said Cap
tain Street. ''Those planes and mo-
tors sure stood up. Why, the only
trouble we had on the entire trip
was caused by the worst bit of
weather I've ever flown through Of
want to fly through. We had every
thing-rain, snow, hail and sleet,
clouds, fog and mist. But we kept
right on flying.
"The 230 miles of glaciers we
traversed was a wonderful sight, but
there would have been little hope for
rescue had we cracked up in that
wilderness. Altogether, it was q
rough trip. never want to fly

spirit of Scouting to its youth.
The underlying spirit of Scouting
is service. The organization is not
military, but does stand for pre-

individual Scout to do the very larg-
est service when needed Scouts have
effectively aided the nation in health

Selling of Liberty bonds was less active
yesterday than the previous day and the
tone of the market was steadier Some
issues registered net gains at the close,
but the majority closed lower.

the list. They declined TO the new low

were encourage to borrow money to buy
! them, receiving the assurance that the
banks would advance 80 per cent of their

banks.

extreme weakness in numerous issues

independent oil companies. The maxi

issues. Standard Oil of New York was
traded in at 455 and 445. Introductory
trading began in the subscription Of the

Industrial shares were quiet and recess
