A Fort Gaines town sheet reports the Clay County Democratic Executive Committee meeting on Tuesday December 1st declined to nominate candidates for county offices.

It critiques unworthy ambition, compares office seekers to a mighty elephant trapped by vanity, and cites flawed laws, corruptible legions of legislators, and the dangers of imprudent governance.
