BPIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
THE HIRED SERVANT-—“Thou
shalt not oppress a hired servant
that is poor and needy, whether he
be of thy bretkren or of thy
gtrangers that sre in thy land.”
Deut. 24:14,
L ———
WE ENTER A PROTEST
. Unele "John Holder, candidate
~for governor, with the state pay
ing his campaign expenses, con
tinues to hold his “road hearings”
and these he’ll continue to “pull”
as long as delegations will come
to Atlanta or permit him to come
to them,
The Board CLAIMS to have
800 miles of road to awarq to the
counties of the state. We are in
clined to beljeve there's vastly
less. However, there are about
8,000 miles promised oyt to this«
so-called 800, so you sce Uncle
John must continue these BUNK
hearings until after election day.
And he will, too! — Americus
Times Recorder,
But we can enter our protest and
keep on protesting. It isn't right for
the tax payers to put up the money
for John Holder to make his race for
governor. It is right for John Hold
er to expect it. He is not only seem
ingly perfeetly at home, but he js
daily assuring himself that the voters
of Georgia want him to do that as
he pleases,
Well, we have a high type of man,
one who woulg give Georgians a
square deal in the governor's chair
and render such service as to cause
people on Ilm outside to think well
of us-—we have that type of man run
ning on his own expenses, paying his
own bills and not running around to
these mileage hearings at a cost of
ten cents a mile to the voters of
Georgia., John Holder rides a costly
gutomobjle at the expense of tax
payers, He gets ten cents a mile
from the tax payers for every mile
he makes on these road hearings—
campaigning for governor. He has
tc hold lots of hearings now because
he wants to win, of course.
We do not suppose that anybody
will contest our vright to protest
against the John Holder method, Tt
irn't a square deal for the voters and
tax payers of the state. We do not
know, but we do not believe Dr. Hard
man would go campaigning in such
manner and leave us to conclude that
he doesn't care how much of the
public funds he uses in that manner,
HONORING A GOOD MAN
The people of the third Georgia
congressional district could pay llu-ir?
congressman, Judge Charles R. Crisp,.
nce greater honor than to send him}
Pack without opposition. In this day
of “quick on trigger” politics- \\'hon(
cne man has simply to suggest to un.l
cther the idea of running for ufl'i\';"
to complete the full setting for :l'
race—it is not over difficult to lmw‘
others out after the place a good munl
fills. Indeed the better he js—the
more kindly things said about hisl
tervices—the more inclined are lhu“
politicians to ask for the place hv“
fills,
But with Congressman Crisp it is a
different story. The people of the dis
trict see so often what others outside
the district have to say about \lis
splendid services that here at home it
bhas become a solemn duty to keep
him going back to Waszhington as our
representative, Opposition would find
little headway because it would he
Pard in this district to find anybody
who could render us and the state
unything like the kind of service he
gives us.
Wednesday's Macon Telegraph has
this kindly editorial expression about
‘('onurensman Crisp:
- “It is a matter of general satisfac-
Iflon to Georgians that Charles R,
i(‘llup, of Americus, has no opposition
for Congress this year. He hag had
!(,ppusiliun only twice in his fourteen
‘:.('nrn of service and the results of
those races have not been encourag
ing to the opposition. In one race,
Mr. Crisp's opponent carried one
county; in another race, the opponent
camried none,
“Mr. Crigp is regarded as one of
the two ablest democrats in the house,
the other being Finis Carrett of Ten
nessee, leader of the minority, who is
having a struggle in his district in
Tennessee, but is likely to go back.
Ir he fails, Mr. Crisp will probably
be leader of the minority ang if the
cemocrats obtain the houge this time,
which is not at all likely, he may be
speaker. At any rate, he ig in line
for either the speakership or the lead.
ership of the democrats in the house.
“Mr, Crigsp is the able son of an
able father. He served an unexpired
term of his father, then was judge of
the City Court of Amerjcus until his
clection to congress,”
HARD TO UNDERSTAND THIS
It is hard to understand the flow
Y news out of Atianta with regard
to the squandering and misappropri
ation of banking funds on the part of
individuals there—coming at a time
when the Georgia chain banks have
been forced to close becayse of un
der cover methods used against them.
Today, for example, Solicitor General
Boykin of the Fulton saperior courts
-of Fulton superior courts alone—is
out with a statement which goes ring
:lug over the state to the effect that
large amounts of banking funds have
‘hvun misused in bucket shop deals by
!;wopln in Atlanta. He doesn’t say
‘whose funds—it is just banking funds.
He is gracions enough with the dis
tressed Georgia banks to say - that
Atlanta men have been doing the
squandering.
Thus far the effort seems to he to
}vomplvln the wrecking of the Georgia
chain banks—to keep thewm from com
ing back into the banking ficld of
thig state. These banks are not pay
ing us to fight for them, but so long
as this newspaper remains free to
say what its mind leads it to say in
a conscientious effort to down in.
justice and error, deliberate and will
il‘ul wronging of one verson against
another, there is no reason why it
shoulg remain quiet when things like
this pour out upon us from another
source, That interview which Boy
kin gives out in Atlanta today is timed
to hurt the banks that are trying to
reopen in time to meet the fall busi
ness.,
We have geldom had the privilege
of writing anything into these col
umns that affords us as much pleas
ure as to be able to say that the
Cordele bank whose doors are tem
porarily closed has not one dollar in
volved in anything that may be un
covered in Atlanta or elsewhere out
side of the bounds of the county of
Crisp. Every dollar it has loaned out
is loaned to its customers within the
bounds of Crisp county. Not one
dollar of its assets are in any wild
cat scheme that anybody in Atlanta
has “pulled” of late. They never
have been involved outside of Crisp
county. This bank is in better ton
dition than the first day it was thrown
cpen for business. Nobody connected
with the Bankers Trust Company or
any other outside concern has a dol
lar of the assets of the Cordele Bank,
Nothing that can happen in future
aevelopments—no matter how nearly
they blow up half the city of Atlanta
—will find any of the funds of the
Cordele bank anywhere but in the
business and farming channels—
mighty good channels at that — of
Cordele and Crisp county.
The Cordele bank is wholly solvent
and worth as much as a banking
house of its volume under prosperous
and safe Dbusiness conditions like
thogse now prevalent in this section
coyld have heen at any timoe, There
wasn't the shadow of an excuse for
the closing of its doors except that
created by enemies who put out the
lowest order of “pison’” in the form
of undercover rumors timed to hurt
it Local depositors now have to
their accounts in this bank indeed a
most creditable sum of money, as we
are sure the audit now under way
will show,
It is hard to understand what the
Atianta outbursts mean., We want
the news about misappropriatibn of
funds there to he made specific so
people who have their fundg in our
cwn banking institutions here may
know lh.nt we are not invoivod ~that
their money ig still at home and nol
gacked up and carried away to he
thrown into the wild cat schemes
which have more than once been pa
raded by those in Atlanta who seem
te be engaged in trying to impress
the people of Georgia that their mon
ey isn't safe anywhere except in old
socks, rotten logs, or holes in the
ground,

the wonder of Georgia's resources,
the march of Fer achievements, the
vigor of her spirit, ile widening
attraction of her opporiunities, Onel
example is worth ten precepts, not
only because deeds speak louder than
words, but chiefly hecause they
gpeak more cleacly. One breath of a
Georgia morning will tell more about
the climate, one taste of a Georgia
peach more about the sun and soil,
one hour at a Georgia hearthside
more about its hogpitality than could
an army of adjectives, though they
reached from the pines of the Blue
Ridge to the palms of st. Simon’s.
SOUTH GEORGIA IS THE PLACE
From the Moul:rie Observer:
In a survey conducted by the As
sociated Press in South Georgia con
ditions were fourd to be better than
ever before.
Monday Sou‘h Georgia began the
first of her enormous annual ship
ments of thousards of carloads of
watermelons, | /his year, according
to the United States Derartment
of Agriculture, Georgia as a state
will lead all other producing states
with approximately 17,000 carloads
of melons. Of this it i: estimated
that fouth Genrgia will supply near
ly two-thrids.
And Scuth Georgia will have an
other cash crop to follew the water
melon crop.
We never g2t througn marketing
in this section.
We are still marketing our long
crop, and this hegan early last fall
We are maketing poultry—a
hevay crop of it—along with the
watermelons. Penltry has held up
pretty well in rrice, and it is turn
ing a lot of money in this direction.
