During that time, L.E. Houston was named chairman of the board, W.B.Forrest and W.R. Moon were elected as president and vice-president, respectively, S.J. Gholson became secretary, and both J.D. Winston and B.R. Walker became assistant secretaries. Other members of the board included John C. Fizer, I.W. Page, Jr., W.W. White, C.L. Stewart, H.W. Walter, R.A. Murdock, W.W. Troup, and G.A.
