DUNN Feature Editor FRED BROWN Art Editor CATHERINE BRADY Society Editor ★ ★ ★ Second Class Postage Paid at Butler, Ga. BUDDY’S BYLINES 1 Twines L. DUNKI i y j®. The history of journalism is an interesting one. It is the story of man’s long struggle to communicate freely with his fellow men. It is the story of Benjamin Harris and his Publick Occurences, Both Foreign and Domestick, Samuel Buckley and the Daily Curant, John Milton and his Areopagitica, Daniel Defoe and his Mist’s Journal, Charles A. Dana and the New York Sun, Benjamin Franklin and the Pennsylvania Gazette, Joseph Pulitzer and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Horace Greeley and the New York Tribune. The beginning of American journalism was brought about by the founding of the first newspaper in colonial America. It was patterned after the British product. The Daily Courant appeared in London March 11, 1702. This was the first news paper printed in English language. New England was the birthplace of the American news paper. On April 24, 1704, the Boston News-Latter became the first genuine American newspaper. It was like a Bibical mustard seed because from it stemmed the mightiest news papers in the world today. Then, just as today, there was nothing new about the news paper changing name and editor. We find this true today in our county of Taylor for what was formerly the Butler Herald is now the new Taylor County News. We found it unusually difficult to change the name from the Butler Herald to the new Taylor County News. However, it is hoped that we can grow larger under our new name, and therefore be able to venture out and serve the entire county equally. We feel that this change in name will be in the interest of the new owner and the people we serve. We must not forgetl The Butler Herald is not dying but extending its growth with a new name. Through this growth we hope to be able to serve and contribute to the good people of Taylor County better than ever before. Remember when little Virginia asked were there a Santa Claus? She could easily had asked the same question about our unforgettable Butler Herald and received a similar reply. “Yes, Virginia, there is a Butler Herald, and as long as there is a Charles Benns, Sr„ Charles Benns, Jr., and a Verna Griggs, the Butler Herald will continue to make glad the hearts of all mankind.” ELECT JIMMY BENTLEY COMPTROLLER GENERAL Democratic Primary September 12, 1962 Congratulations to The Taylor County News For the best Automotive Service in the County . .

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON POLITICAL PUN bu "Wti li)Toujn FRANK RILEY BUTLER METHODIST CHURCH Sunday Aug. 5, 1962 Conquered and Exiled Background Scripture: 2 Kings 24 and 25 Selected Text: 2 Kings 24 - 12 - 14, 20b 2 Kings 25: 1 1 - 2, 8 - 11 Memory Selection: Hosea 8:7 This is the first lesson for the coming Sunday in a unit titled "A People Uprooted." The aim of this unit is to help people recognize that God’s steadfast love has power to sus tain persons and nations under all circumstances. Its four lessons continue to be rooted in the crisis that befell the Hebrews following their defeat by the Babylonians, who kept them in captivity for about seventy years. The scripture for this first lesson relates a story of un relieved tragedy: capture, murder, looting, desecration of the Temple, deportation, de struction and almost total col lapse of Judah. Jeremiah's prophecies of impending doom had come true. Why had this fate befallen the Hebrews? The answer given was that it was a judgement of God upon their sins. History is subject to moral as well as to social and economic laws. The only answer to the above Interpretation of national cala mity was repentance. We must be careful not to paint God as a vengeful pun isher. He is never vengeful. He is always just. And He suffers as His children suffer. He wept with the Judeans when Jerusalem burned. Then let us turn our eyes to other lands. Rome was much stronger than Judea, yet Rome fell. Rome was conquered by the barbar ians, and the great empire was no more; behind that collapse was the grim fact that Rome’s soul had been conquered and corrupted long before she was conquered as political and mili tary power. Perhaps we have noted this before, but here it is again; Edward Gibon, in his classic “Decline and Fall of the Ro man Empire,” lists five under lying causes for the fall of Rome. They are: 1. The decay of family life and the rapid increase of divorce. 2. Higher and higher taxes. 3. The mad desire and craze for pleasure. 4. The weight of gigantic armaments. 5. The decay of religion. Our own country is ex periencing one of the greatest periods of prosperity. This is a dangerous period for any na tion or any soul’s spiritual life as the desire for worldly things claims more and more of their attention. History had proven that the finest hours of any na tion or any soul has been during trials and tribulations. When evil drags a man or a nation down, it carries every thing with it. We talk much about the survival power of righteousness; perhaps we should talk more about the fatal qualities of wickedness. Even a little evil mixed with good can become a poison that infects the whole. When nations or in dividuals compromise, they seal their own doom. It is foolish for man to think that he can sin as much as he pleases and that God will for give and forget. It reduces God to man’s stature for we are told plainly that he is a right eous God who demands right eousness from his children that he hates sin and that his wrath is the effect of sin. In his world the law of cause and effect operates relentlessly. And retribution is the effect, the result, the fruit of sin. Sin is the cause, punishment the ef fect. No man or nation ever escaped: when the bill for our sinning comes due, we pay, in tone way or another, either here or hereafter. To believe any thing else reveals deep ignor ance of the nature of life and God. Sentence Sermon to Remem ber: The wages of sin are al ways paid; if there is any delay in settlement, compound in ter estisadded. Research shows that silos should be filled as rapidly as possible and sealed with an airtight cover as soon as filled, according to Dr. W. J. Miller of the University of Georgia Experiment Station. This I Believe Sponsored By EDWARDS FUNERAL HOME I think the troubled world in which we live should not des- may us. I believe the world today is historically a better world than the world of the past. Though ruthless men still maintain power through force and would extend power through conquest, people every where are becoming more tolerant and understanding than ever before. More peoples and more governments are willing to co-operate, to work together for peace and freedom, than at any time in history. At home we are more tolerant and un derstanding with each other, more willing to help our less fortunate neighbor here and a- broad. This, to me, is hopeful pro gress. It stems, I think, from the spread of freedom in which I believe and which I hold God gave us a5 a privilege. Like all precious possessions, free dom must be guarded carefully. I ask myself how I can best help guard it and the answer I find is citizenship. In my view, to be a good citizen does not require the holding of public office, the achievement of either political or financial success. But it does require that I vote from conviction, that I parti cipate in community activities to the extent that I am able, that I be honest with myself and with others. God has been good to us as a people. As I see it, we can return thanks for the posi tion of leadership which we now hold in world affairs, only as we exercise this leadership to obtain freedom and peace. We can lead abroad only as we con tinue to improve our life at home, to become truly a land in which there is equal opportu nity for all. This brings me back to the personal responsi bility of the individual. I be lieve 1 can improve my life here and, perhaps, help others, only as I show pride in my country by finding the time to try to be a good citizen, and by being grateful to God for His good ness. Residents Of Butler In an effort to improve the Sanitary Conditions of our City, your Mayor and Council have recently purchased a NEW TRUCK, which is used exclusively for the Sanitation Department. While this new equipment has to some extent enabled us to improve the Garbage Collection there is still much more to be desired. It is our felling that the CITIZENS of Butler will cooperate in helping if they are informed of the things they could do and that is the purpose of this message to you. Your help in this situation will greatly improve the service and hold down expenses. THEREFORE: The Mayor and Council of Butler are asking your VOLUNTARY cooperation in helping remedy the Collection Service and to help hold down the expense of employing more help by abiding by the following rules: 1. GET A METAL CONTAINER of not more than 35 gallon capacity. Containers any larger make it impossible for one to handle. 2. PLACE YOUR CONTAINER in a place accessable to the collectors. Driving in out of driveways not only consumes a lot of time but in some instances injures your shrubbery and trees. 3. BE SURE YOUR GARBAGE IS IN THE CONTAINER. When personnel has to stop and rake up your garbage some one else is being deprived of the service. 4. LIMBS, TREES, WEEDS AND GRASS will be collected separately. Put in a pile as close to the street as possible and it WILL BE PICKED UP on another day. 5. ACQUAINT YOURSELF with the day the TRUCK comes to your house and have your METAL CONTAINER accessable to the collector. We are trying to maintain a regular schedule and your cooperation will assist us to maintain the schedule. As stated above this is a REQUEST for your VOLUNTARY COOPERATION to help in making the CITY of BULTER a more Sanitary and Better Looking Place To Live. YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS VITAL PART OF OUR PROGRAM WILL MAKE BUTLER A HEALTHIER AND BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.

Although not considered a major contender in the gub ernatorial race, it is evident that he is firmly convinced of his ability for the job. Also he is optimistic and feels that he has a good chance to pluck the nomination right out of the hands of Sanders and Giffin Co. A native ofWaltonCo., he grew up in Loganville where he still makes his home. He is married to the former Jewell Cheek, sister of Hugh Cheek of Butler. A veteran of World Wars I and II, he was wounded in Lux emburg in W. W. II and spent 2 years in an army hospital. He is now a member of the American Legion and Disabled American Veterans. If elected O'Kelley^ prom ises a brand new dayinGeorgia politics. He promises not to increase taxes. He asserts no new taxes will be needed if the money now coming in is spent wisely. He says he is “not a big govern ment man”. We have too much government now and too much of our taxes wasted. Therefore if he is elected he promises to “surround my self with others like me so there will be no leak” to waste our hard earned tax money. He states that he has no plans for speech making in Taylor County but he will be in our county on Aug. 9 for the Byrd birthday party. O’ Kelley visited with Gar land T. Byrd while here and says that we had a fine candi date but since our candidate is out of the race, “O’Kelly is the man for this county now.” county office by August 24. The county convention will be held between Aug. 27 and 29 for electing county commit tees. All elected committeemen will take office Sept. 1.
