Kelley Endorsed For
Congress By Editorial
In Gainesville Eagle
THE PEOPLE FIRST
The province of a newspaper is
more than just to broadcast the news
It is a servant of the people in such a
sphere hut, because of its closeness
to life, closeness to the grass roovs
of living, it also can lead. If it fails
to lead, fails to give 'the light, falls
to point the way, it falls down on its
greatest responsibili'ty.
With such thoughts in mind, THE
EAGLE respectfully expresses itself
on the coming Congressional cam
paign. It proposes not to point out
the vices of any candidate, rather to
present the virtues of the man it
feels is the best qualified for the of
fice. In other words, it is not a ques
tion of being against; instead, it is
a matter of being for.
THE EAGLE presents for the ser
ious consideration of every reader and
friends the name and record of Fred
Kelley. In plain words and in keeping
with its ideal as a newspaper, THE
EAGLE supports Fred Kelley because
he is the ablest man in the race.
On past record and future prospect.
Fred Kelley dominates the field. He
was born and raised on the farm and
thus knows the needs of the vast
majority of his people. His experience
in the state legislative halls, where
the laws are made, and his experien
ce in the court, where the laws are
administered, equip him to represent
his people in Washington. He has
succeeded here; he will succeed there
Not one justifiable dart of criticism
may be hurled at him. Hks public and
private life are above reproach. And
to whatever task he has put his hand
he has demonstrated ability, honesty,
courage, sincerity and high purpose
Fred Kelley is not politically bound
In these troublesome times he can
cooperate with every faction in Wash
ington. He can serve his people with
out fear or favor; he can be a < on
gressman, a statesman.
T, l( . people, who come first always,
deserve only the best. The best is
Fred Kelley.
Quail Eggs Reclaimed
From Snake; Hatched
Under Bantam Chicken
A junior wildlife ranger from Cobb
County reported 'that he had taken
quail eggs from a chicken snake and
hatched them under a bantam hen.
The vouth said that he killed a
chicken snake which had swallowed
14 quail eggs. Three of the nggs were
not broken, so he placed them under
a bantam hen, along with some chick
en eggs and successfully hatched
them.
“The chicks didn’t live though, he
decal red. They must have been bruis
*ed when I beat on the snake.
T. Grady Head
Seeks Supreme
Court Justiceship
The candidacy of T. Grady Head
for the full term as Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court, formerly held
by Justice Marcus Beck, retired,
brings before the people of this state
a capable lawyer and a man of wide
experience
His qualifications are such that in
the event of election the people may
continue to regard the Supreme
Court as a guardian of their lives,
liberty and property. It is right and
proper for the people to demand that
a Justice of the Supreme Court Po
sessea, in addition to ability as a
lawyer, a wide knowledge and a deep
understanding of ttihe oP
humanity. In these Mr. Head will
measure up to the highest standard
that is, and should be required.
Born and reared on a farm in
Whitfield County, Georgia, he early
in life learned the value of toil and
honest effort. The son of a country
lawyer, his early life brought him
into contact with the law, and vn
early manhood as a Justice of the
Peace he heard and passed on t£e
pleas of his fellowman. He served
three years as a country school teach
er, walking four and one half miles
twice a day, to and from school. Thus
he has lived close to the people and
from such association has come an
understanding of the daily problems
of the average man that has enabled
him to better serve as their counsel
or and friend.
Locating at Ringgold, his present
home, for the practice of law, he
was soon recognized as a lawyer of
ability and his practice has been ex
tended into all branches of the law.
He has grown in knowledge and
understanding with the passing of
the years and is today one of the
leading members of his profession in
Northwest Georgia,
As State Revenue Commissioner,
Mr. Head has rendered the people
of Georgia an outstanding service. He
has always applied to his official acts
the high principals that motivate
his private life. The people of
Georgia, State and County officials,
have time and again commended him
for the fair, efficient and economical
conduct of his office. He is recogniz
ed as one of the hardest working
officials in Georgia public life. He
has always been true to his oath of
office and to his duties as a servant
of the people. To him, public office
is a public trust. We unreservedly
commend him to the people of
Georgia for the important office of
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court.

Summer Edition
The seriousness of the school
situation has caused the Georgia
Education Association to break a
long established precedent and pub
lish a summer edition of its GE
Journal, which appeared this week.
The answers of gubernatorial can
didates to six questions having to do
with school problems are given. Tal
madge and Howell answered in letter
form. Roberts and Nnx replied to the
questions in detail with categorical
answers.
It was stated by educational lead
ers that 'the expressed attitude of
candidates was the most explicit in
the history of the state, 'this was
attributed to the intensive campaign
conducted by the Georgia Education
Association in publicizing the schools
plight and in registering approximate
ly 90 percent of all teachers.
Educators as a group are not sup
porting any candidate, but are being
urged by their president, Johnl Al
lman, to vote their convictions.
Ssuirrels Late;
Go Easy Hunters
Reports from wildlife rangers say
that the season on squirrels is from
two to three weeks late this year.
This is due, they believe, to the un
usually 'ate cold wave that ran over
into espring.
"Tnere are many yang squirrels in
North Georgia,” according to Ranger
\V. W. Dockery, ‘“that haven't left
their nests. They are not worth shoot
ing and we are urging hunters taking
advantage of the August 1 season to
call their shots and take only mature
ones.”
The Georg'a legislature set* the
shooting season on squirrels and es
tablished a law directly opposed to
the law of nature by permitting
shooting in 18 counties at least a
month too early, outdoor observers
insist.
The number of farms served by
electricity in the United States in
creased more than 98 percent from
1932 to 1938. Over 1,400,000 farms had
available electricity in 1938.
