RATIFICATION OF 2Cth AMEND
MENT TO CONSTITUTION ELIMI
NATES DEFEATED SOLONS
FROM PARTICIPATION
Speeding up the inauguration of the
president of the United States, and
depriving defated congressional re
presentatives from further participat
ing in affairs of government, the 20th
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States was approved Monday.
Missouri was the 36th state to give
its approval to the amendment, there
by supplying the necessary three
fourths. The state of Georgia follow
ed within an hour in approving the
amendment and become the 37th state
to thus ratify this action.
This amendment to the Constitution
becomes effective October 15, and
thereafter each regular session of the
congress will commence January 3,
and no date for the adjournment is
designated. Henceforth, new presi
dents will be inaugurated on January
20th, instead of March 4th.
The ratification of the amendment
represented the successful culmin
tion of ten years of labor by Senator
George K. Norris, of Nebraska. The
veteran legislator was happy over the
victory of the amendment which has
been one of his chief aims for a dec
ade.

Georgia Baptist Sunday Schools, and

annex. It cost about twentythousand
dollars and was dedicated free of
debt.

! RUSSELL WILL
TAKE HIGH RANK
IN U. S. SENATE
Important Chairmanship As
suring Distribution of Pat
ronage Predicted for
Him.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 21 There
is little doubt that when the senate
Democrats caucus around March 4 t<
parcel out patronage among the faith
ful of the party and line up committee
places at the ousting of the Republi
cans fron control of the upper arise
of Congress, Senator Richard B. Rus
sell will be touud with a good working
chairmanship.
Ordinarily it could not be forecast
that a member of the Senate with as
little actual time to his credit as a
member as Senator Russell would get
a chairmanship but conditions are
now different from what they have
ever been.
First, it is recognized that Senator
Russell has shown marked ability as a
state executive, especially because of
his age, and that among other things
it is said there, is going to cause his
older colleagues to place him in a
high position after the Senate is re
organized. ,
This will not only give the new
Georgia Senator considerably more
influence but will also mean that he
will have some patronage to distribute
among faithful Georgia Democrats.
Among the comparatively new Se
nators who will get a chairmanship
will be James F. Byrnes of South Ca
rolina. He was defeated for the Se
nate in 1924 by Coley Blease, but
came back strong in 1930 and licked
Blease.
Then a place must be made for
William G. McAdoo, former Secretary
of the Treasury in the Wilson cabinet,
Bennett Champ Clark, son of the late
Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri and
other Democrats who will take their
seats in March.
From the southern contingent Byrn
es will get first choice because he
has already had approximately a year
service in the Senate. Then Russell
should likewise outrank McAdo and
Clark. In turn Clark will outrank Mc-
Adoo because Senator Hawes of Mis
souri, whom Clark will succeed, is to
resign his seat next month, thus giv
ing Clark precedence over McAdoo
and others who come in on March 4.
There will also be anew Senator
from Louisiana, John Holmes Overton.
He is a 'Huey Long protege and it is
said the latter is likely to make a
strong fight for his friend for commit
tee places, urging the fact that he has
served several years in the House.
But Russell will take precedence
over either Clark, McAdoo or any
others who will come into the Senate
on March. He has only been here a
few days but has already made many
frineds and has begun to "find his
way around’’ in a remarkably short
time.
It should be remembered that be
cause of the political landslide last
fall, when Franklin D. Roosevelt was
swept into the White House and the
Senate went head over heels Demo
democrats going to the chairmanships
mocrats going to the chairmanships
and the Republicans to the tail end
of the line.
AUTO LICENSES
SOLD BY SHERIFF;
AND BY DEALERS
Sheriffs and uutomobile dealers
will supply appplication blanks for
automobile tags according to the
State Motor l( Vehicjle department,
which announces that the custom of
mailing applications to each owner
from the department has been discon
tinud.
"This change will effect a postage
savings and reduce operating expen
ses,” the department stated.
A bill providing for anew scale of
prices for auto license tags passed
the house Wednesday by a vote of 163
to 3 and has been sent to the senate.
As approved by the house, the hill
provides that owners of cars of 2,800
pounds or less shall get $3. tags and
that a charge of 25 cents per hundred
pounds shall be made by tags for all
cars weighing more than 2,800 pounds.
This bill, in effect, reduces the tag
trices for smaller cars from $11.25 to
$3. and cuts the tag prices of larger
cars 50 per cent as the charge for all
last year was 50 cent per hundred
pounds.
That the bill approved by the house
was satisfactory to him. Governor
Eugene Talmadge indicated Wednes
day and if the senate approved it, the
bill would get his signature.
The bill provides that tags for one
ton truks be sold at $7.50 and that
tags for larger trucks and busses
shall bring the same prices a3 here
tofore.
Those Who Advertise
During Year of 1933
To Reap Results
Atlanta, Ga (GPS)—A new' era
opened with the New Year—an era of
great opportunity for everyone. News
papers have never waited for business
either by suggestion or example.
Who are to be the leaders and who
are to reap the results of this business
depression?
It will be those who advertise dur
ing the year 1933, according to busi
ness experts here. It will be those
merchants and individuals who adver
tise the fact that they offer a fertile
field for the purchaser. Upon the
proportion of advertising they use de
pends to) a very large extent the suc
cess they will enjoy in their 1933 mer
chandising.
The -first step to start the wheels
turning, not only here but in every
town in Georgia, is to use the news
paper columns freely and frequently.
This is a vital and essential part of
the equipment the merchants and in
dividuals of every city and county
must use in regaining business re
covery.
You should place an announcement
in the columns of your local newspa
per at an early date and enlist your
forces against the enemy—depression.
This is the advice of those who know
the situation.
Dorr! leave the story of your prod
ucts untold during 1933. Start now
with new activity and new ambition.
Reserve your newspaper advertising
space early and expand your advertis
ing contract for 1933.

Erect A Residence
For The President
GEORGIA WHITE HOUSE OBJECT
IVE OF THE NEWSPAPERS
Each newspaper of the State is re
quested to immediately ask for donat
ions to the erection of a Georgia
White House at Warm Springs for
the use of President Roosevelt during
his term of office. The objective is to
raise $100,000.00. Alva G. Maxwell,
Vice-President of the C. & S. National
Bank, Atlanta, Georgia, has been de
signated treasurer of this fund.
Each member of the Gergia Press
Association is respectfully urged to
bring this matter to the attention of
its readers and to ask for donations to
this fund. The amount as recevied
should immediately be forwarded to
Treasurer Maxwell. In speaking of
the project President Williams says:
“As an expression of love and esteem
held for President-Elect The Honor
able Franklin D. Roosevelt, a group of
newspapermen held a meeting at the
Biltmore Hotel Thursday at which it
was decided to sponsor a movement to
build at Warm Springs a building to
be known as the Georgia White House
for the use of Mr. Roosevelt for the
next four years, with the hope and ex
pectation that there will be a demand
for its use for the next eight years.
“The amount which it is proposed
to raise is $100,000.00 and, while it is
intended to make it a Georgia move
ment to which all citizens and organ
izations will be invited to take part,
the individual papers of the Georgia
Press Association will sponsor it. The
meeting held on January sth was at
tended by Jack Williams, president of
the Georgia Press Association. Way
cross; Milton L. Fleetwood, vice-pre
sident, Cartersville; Hal M. Stanley,
executive secretary, Atlanta; G. Clar
ence Thompson, Manchester, Ray
mond B. Nixon, assistant to the pre
sident Emory University, and Arthur
Carpenter, of Warm Springs.
"It is believed that the movement
will be a popular one and the objec
tive will be reached within the next
few weeks.
“While no definite plans have been
made, it is proposed to have each pap
er handle the subscriptions in its re
spective community.”
Milton County’s Last
Confederate Vet. Dies
About thirty years ago 117 Con
federate Veterans organized them
selves into the Milton County’s Asso
ciation to meet each August in Alpha
retta for Annual Reunion. Others
joined their ranks as opportunity of
fered.
For years at these Reunions they
would form into a long line, some
dressed in their war time suits and
regalia and marched over the streets
of Alpharetta behind the drum and
familiar flags. But times takes his
toll and all too soon the knees began
to weaken the steps to shorten and
the marching had to cease. Each year
some seats would be vacant and the
roll call fewer until we come to the
last one in the organization.
J A. Stroup who died January, 17
and was interred in his family ceme
tery at Harmony Grove Baptist church
of which he was a devoted member.
He was 88 years old and the head of
an unusually large family, the father
of 12 children, seven sons and one
daughter still living. He had seventy
grand children and thirty nine great
grand-children.
We miss our reunions now, it was a
gathering that every citizen was in
terested in and most people were
ready to serve them in anyway pos
sible.

KNOWLEDGE
IS VALUABLE
Many people do not know how to use the com
plete services of a bank. A certain amount of
knowledge of banking principles and functions is
necessary to the education of every business man
or woman.
That is one of the reasons why we are not sat
isfied merely to have people depositing their mon
ey in the bank. We want to know our customers
personally. We want them to feel perfectly tree
to discuss matters confidentially with us.
That personal acquaintance may become very
valuable —that knowledge of the intimate aims and
objectives of the customer may place us in a posi
tion to help, when help is needed.
By all means, let us get better acquainted!
