  "The Politics of The People"
  �tab�One of three candidates for the legislature in 1906 was J. B. Stubbs of Ochlocknee, a young teacher in the Ochlockonee School." He has a wide family connection throughout the county and is well and favorably known to the voters. He is the correspondent for theTimes Enterprise at Ochlocknee and his readable letters are a feature interest in this paper. He is a young man of pleasing address and takes a deep interest in afairs of the day." Late in the summer the county executive committee named J. H. Norton, J. T. Thompson, and T. A. Beverly to preside over the Ochlocknee District for the primary. �tab� �tab�Selected to work in the 1908 county primary were J. T. Thompson of Ochlocknee and Byron Collier of Ella Belle. The Hon. J. Beta Stubbs at- tended the summer session of the legislature in June and July; the justice court room in Ochlocknee burned and the County Commissisoners appropriated $100 to rebuild it; registered voters in Ochlocknee numbered 206 whites and 31 blacks and Ellabelle 95 whites and 10 blacks. In September the Populists "met a hundred strong in an old syrup house and the capacity of the house was taxed to its utmost." In November 1912, Ochlocknee voters gave 7 votes to the Progressives, 49 to the Democrats, none to theRepublicans and Socialists, while Ellabelle gave 37 to the Progressives and 5 to the Democrats with none for the Republicans and Socialists. The nation went Democratic."
  �tab�The following years local opposition arose regarding the formation of a new county to be named Hansell with Meigs as its countysite; both Ochlocknee and Ellabelle Districts sent a representative delegation to Atlanta. Apparently they (or others) were successful in the attempt to block the legislation as the new county never materialized. In 1905 there was some opposition to the creation of the new Grady County but its formation became a reality.
  �tab�J. B. Stubbs, candidate for Clerk of Court in 1916, was endorsed by his neighbors:
  �tab�C. A. Welch, R. W. McMillan, D. B. Anderson, R. Singletary, W. H. Wurst, P. B. Clark, J. F. Anderson, R. R. Singletary, A.E.Speer, bank cashier, P. P. Dixon, H. L. Bullock, W. B. Bullock, J. W. Singletary, R. L. Merritt, T. A. Bullock, postmaster, L. C. Clark, J. T. Thompson.
  �tab�The son of the Reverend "Tipp" Stubbs, a widely known and well beloved Methodist preacher, has served eight years as Principal of Ochlocknee and Center Hill schools and as the representative from Thomas County during the terms of Joe Brown and Hoke Smith, governors of Georgia."
