Carmichael Speaks
Again Over State
Radio Hook-Up
To Reveal Name Of Real “Boss” Of
Talmadge Administration
Following a radio address on Aug
ust 4th by James V. Carmichael, in
which he referred to Governor Tal
madge’s economy boast as ‘ totally
untrue”, Ellis Arnall’s headquarters
have been flooded with requests from
all sections of the State for further
reveaiations of the policies of the Tal
madge administration, and have ask
ed that Mr. Carmichael call the name
of the real political “boss’’ of the 'gre
sent administration.
“It is clear that the people of Geor
gia want to know, and should know,
the name of the convicted lottery
operator who is in the power behind
the throne in the Governor’s office.
All the bootleggers know him by his
first name; he is now under suspend
ed sentence on a lottery charge to
which he has confessed. This is the
type of men our Governor, the so
called ‘friend of the people’, has sur
rounded himself with.... the type
men who dictate to the dictator,” de
clared Mr. Carmichael.
Arrangements have been completed
for Mr. Carmichael to take the air
again on Wednesday, August 19th
from 8:30 to 9:00 P. M. in an address
which will originate in station WSB,
Atlanta and will be carried over sta
tions WSAV, Macon, WGPC, Albany,
WGOV, Valdosta, WAYX, Waycroscs
and WRDW, Augusta.
Mr. Carmichael is well-remembered
as a former Cobb county member of
the Legislature, and leader of the
House group which opposed and de
feated the Sales Tax Bill and other
tax measures introduced before that
body. He was also co-chairman of the
House committee which instigated in
vestigation proceedings on the extra
vagances of the Rivers administration
Hightower Assn.,
Convened August 5
The Hightower Baptist Association
Convened last Wednesday with Mt.
Zion Church, six miles east of Canton,
Ga. in their 107 Annual session, which
clasted for only Wednesday and
Thursday. And this was an ideal
place of meeting, as this church is in
the heart of the broiler section of
Cherokee County.
In the organization, Rev. M. W.
Cochran was elected Moderator, Rev.
D. M. Nalley Assistant Moderator and
Mr. Ivan C. Otwell was re-elected
Clerk.
The preceedings were unusually
interesting and good attendance was
larger than some previous years.
The Missionary Sermon was
preached the second day at eleven
o'clock by Rev. O. M. Seigler Pastor
First Baptist Church, Canton Georgia.
And we think that the Canton pastor
is one of the most devoted and best
able pastors which North Georgia
affords. His entire congregation was
very attentive throughout the entire
discourse.
Some of the visitors to this sess
ion were: Mr. J. L. Fortney and four
girls from our Orphans’ Home, Hape
ville, Ga., Mr. W. D. Barker Supt.,
Ga. Baptist Hospital, Atlanta, Ga. Rev
T. P. Tribble, Pastor Chattahoochee,
Ga., and Dr. W. H. Faust Supt. depart
ment of Evangelism, Ga. Baptist Con
vention.
The next session will be held with
New Harmony Church, eight miles
west of Cumming, Ga., on Wednesday
and Thursday after the first Sunday
in August 1943.

Room 721, Henry Grady Ho

Mr. Parker asks to be re
elected on the record that he
has made in office. He will
conduct a clean campaign
and will not permit state em
ployees connected with his
office to do campaign work

Homer C. Parker
Announces Campaign
Headquarters
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 3, 1942—Homer
C. Parker, Comptroller General and
Insurance Commissioner of Georgia,
announces the opening of his cam
paign headquarters in Room 721
Henry Grady Hotel, on next Monday,
August 10th.
Mr. Parker is the duly elected
Comptroller General of the State of
Georgia and by virtue of his office is
cthe State Insurance Commissioner.
He is basing his campaign and claim-s
for re-election to the office he now
holds on the record he has made
since his election by the people in
1940. With reference to his campaign,
he has made the following statements
“I will not under any circumstances
engage in a mud-slinging campaign,
nor will I pitch my campaign on the
low plane sometimes employed by
candidates for office. I do not plan to
engage in personalities, nor will I at
tempt to vilify any person. I do not
believe that any man has the right to
run for office on the demerits of an
opponent, but that every candidate
should base his claims for public of
fice and for the support of the people
on his own merits.”
Mr. Parker also states: “I will not
take part in the campaign of any
other candidate for office and I Vill
not permit the employees of my office
to do campaign work either for me or
for any other candidate. I will not
accept campaign contributors from
any member of myoffice force. This
I have already refused to do.
“I invite my friends over the State
to call on me at my headquarters
when in Atlanta and ask them to com
municate with me by mail at my
Henry Grady Hotel address, rather
than at my office in the Capitol, if
the business about which they wish
to contact me is of a political nature.
Will H. McLaran, Sales-Manager
for Dr. Smith’s Stock-Vigor Cos. and
his father, J. W. McLaran, of Madi
sonville, Texas, were pleasant visitors
in Cumming and Forsyth County on
Tuesday of this week and paid the
News office a visit. Mr. McLaran Sr.
said that his son told him Forsyth
County was the garden spot of the
world, with which sentiment we as
suridly agree. Mr. McLaran, Sr. is
returning to Texas on Wednesday of
this week and said he could not go
back to Texas satisfied until he had
had an opportunity of visiting our
County and meeting some of its citi
zens. He said he was most favorably
impressed with the progressiveness of
our people and was convinced that we
had a splendid county.

Hatchet Not Buried
Says Tom Linder
ATLANTA, GA. August 6 (Special)
Tom Linder, Georgia’s hard-hitting
Commissioner of Agriculture, says it
“ain’t so” that he and Governor Tal
madge have buried the hatchet.
The split in the one-time friendship
that developed when Talmadge
knifed his former lieutenant in the
back, is still wide open and Linder
is making this perfectly clear to his
friends.
Talmadge forces are trying desper
ately to convince voters that Linder
is not is disagreement with Talmadge
Linder said this was a “campaign to
mislead my friends.”
When he heard of the campaign to
misrepresent him to his supporters
over the state, Linder called attention
to a news story, which he said repre
sented the facts. This story said:
“A whispering campaign started
through Georgia by the Talmadge
Palace Guard was charged yesterday
by Commissioners of Agriculture
Tom Linder as “a typical effort to
delude the voter into believing there
is no disagreement between Governor
Talmadge and me.’’
Dawsonville Mayor
Leaves Governor’s
Ranks Last Week
DAWSONVILLE, GEORGIA
August 7, 1942
Honorable Eugene Talmadge, Gover
nor State Capitol
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Governor:
I hand you herewith my resignation
as Lieutenant Colonel on your staff.
My resignation is promoted by the
following reasons:
1. Being a business man and saw
mill operator I know what economy
is. It is not economy to taxpayers to
collect more tax from them than ever
before in the history of the State. It
is not economy to have a record
number of state employees on the
payroll. I want a Governor who will
practice real economy.
2. I cannot longer support a Gover
nor who employs and uses mustard
and gas for the purpose of creating a
riot among boy and girl students and
endanger their physical welfare.
3. I cannot support a Governor who
has as his chief advisors ex-convicts
and who turns the prison affairs of
Georgia over to convicted murderers.
4. Dawson has always been for you
but during your present term the peo
ple of the County have been slighted
and have not received proper consid
eration from your administration.
For these and countless other rea
sons I tender you herewith my resig
nation so that I may be free to sup
port the next Governor of Georgia
Ellis Arnall.
Sincerly yours,
Arnold E. Hamner
GEORGIA FARMERS
REMINDED TO KEEP
VICTORY PLEDGES
With harvest season for basic crops
already well under way in many parts
of the state, Chairman H. V. Fincher,
of the Forsyth County U. S. D. A War
Board, this week issued an appeal to
farmers to “remember your War
Bond and War Savings Stamp pledges
"Our boys are fighting to preserve
the freedom and the way of life we
always have had, he said. They have
ships and tanks and guns and planes
and ammunition to fight with, and
mot long ago we farmers gave our
promise that we’d buy War Savings
Stamps and Bonds when the crops
came in. The time has come now for
us to show those boys that we don’t
forget our promise.
Farmers of Forsyth County signed
cards early in the summer, pledging
the purchase of ■stamps and Bonds in
cooperation with a nationwide sign-up
campaign.
Ellis Arnall Spoke To
Large Crowds In Three
North Georgia Towns
Ellis Arnall Spoke To Large Crowds
At Three North Georgia Towns Last
Friday, August 7th, Dahlonega, Daw
sonville and Cumming.
At Cumming the crowd was esti
mated at 1650 people, it was said to
be the largest crowd ever assembled
in Forsyth County to hear any candi
date for any office, it was also said
to be the most attentive and enthu
siastic political rally ever held in
Cumming.
Roy Otwell, Banker, Newspaper
publisher, automobile dealer, and life
long Talmadge supporter, presided at
the Arnall meeting. He said it seemed
strange for him to be presiding at an
anti-Talmadge meeting, but his con
science was a lot clearer.
John D. Black, veteran legislator
who served his first term in the
House with Ellis Arnall, said he had
been a Talmadge supporter ail his
life but is for Ellis Arnall because he
kr.ows both men so well.
Royston Ingram, representative of
Forsyth County in the House of Re
presentatives and nominee without
opposition for the next State Senate,
introduced Mr. Arnall. He said that
the candidate is pursuing clean tact
ics in his campaign and will be just
a* clean in the Governor’s office.
Mr. Arnall made the same speech
he has been making all week, pledg
ing restoration of Democratic rule
and the return of the state govern
ment to the people of Georgia He de
nounced the charge that he favors
co education of the races as “a hlaca
lie’’ and outlined the reforms he has
proposed in his platform.”—THE AT
LANTA JOURNAL.
MR. AND MRS. J. P. BANNISTER
HAVE THREE SONS IN
IN U. S. SERVICE
In all these critical times we are
now facing it seems that we seldom
take time to think of the boys that we
have from this county in service.
There are several families here in
Forsyth that their hearts are heavily
burdened each hour of the day and
night from the memories of their
boys having to leave home and go in
to foreign lands to fight for Freedom
to protect our homes and the land
that we love so dearly.
We will have more of our boys in
service from time to time and even
tho it may be the only boy that a
mother and father have nothing to
fill the broken heart aches that has
been caused by war.
Just recently Mr. and Mrs. J. P.
Bannister have given up their last
son to the armed services.
Merle is stationed in Sacremento,
California where he is in the State
Guards. They are doing guard duty
on the Coast.
Grady is .in the U. S. Navy and at
present is taking special training at
Gulfport, Mississippi. After a period
of several weeks he will be stationed
on a sea-going vessel somewhere in
the Pacific or Atlantic oceans.
Lanier is in the U. S. Air Corps
and has just recently been transfer
red from Bioloxi, Mississippi to Madi
son Wisconsin, where he will have
more special training and from there
probably he will be sent to fight on
foreign soil with the Air Corps.
The boys that are leaving here are
only a drop in the bucket compared
to all over the U. S. which Man-power
it takes to carry on a war. Forsyth
County is doing her share and the
Mothers and Fathers should be com
mended to the highest for their loy
alty and we hope that they can have
all the cheer that can happen to their
broken hearts in war time.
We bow our heads in sorrow and
in appreciation for them and it is our
earnest hope that they all will return
after the war is won to their homes
throughout our county and other parts
of the United States.
FORSYTH COUNTY SCHOOLS TO

By action of the County Board of
Education all the Schools in Forsyth

want the boys and girls of this Coun
ty to enter on this date and attend

\ The Best Man for Georgia
Arnall Greeted In
Athens By Colorful
Student Rally
One of the most colorful and spirit
ed meetings ever staged during a
political campaign was the Student
Political League Rally held in the in
terest of Ellis Arnall, candidate for
Governor, in Athens last Thursday.
Most of the stores and shops sus
pendid business; ond grads, farmers
and housewives rubbed shoulders
with students representing practi
cally every collegce in Georgia.
Everywhere were seen banners
pledging support of Mr. Arnall in his
campaign to stop the unjust destruct
ion of Georgia’s educational institut-
[ ions by the demagogic practices of
j Governor Talmadge. The banners
bore such messages as “North Geor
gia College Says Talmadge Must. Be
Defeated”, “Georgia Tech Wants—
Needs Ellis Arnall”, “Mercer College
Wants Free Education For All Geor
gia”, and so on, one after the other.
Sharing the platform with Mr. Ar
nall was Herman DeLaPierrier, form
er member of the State Legislature
for three terms, and once a power in
Talmadge ranks.
In pledging his allegiance to Ellis
Arnall's campaign, Mr. DeLaPierriere
stated, "I have loyally supported that
man Talmadge in every state race he
has made, but when he destroyed the
University System of Georgia to sat
isfy his own narrow, selfish political
interests, I break with him”.
J. E. Mathis, past President of the
Georgia Educational Association and
Superintendent of the Americus
Schools for more than 50 years, also
delivered a radio address last week
in the interest of Mr. Arnall’s candi
dacy for Governor. Mr. Mathis made
a strong appeal for the support of the
man whom he said “Would restore
the accredited rating of Georgia’s
educational institutions and free
them from political interference from
the Governor’s office.”
At each of the 12 cities visited by
Mr. Arnall last, he was reassured of
an overwhelming victory by promi
nent political leaders of these section
of the State.
Mr. Arnall’s schedule for this week
is somewhat of a “breather”, before
beginning the strenous “home stretch
drive”. Monday, he spoke before large
crowds at Chatsworth and Clarks
ville. Friday, he will appear in Trion
and will finish the week at Com
merce, returning to Atlanta for his
regular Saturday night broadcast
over station WSB at 9:30 P. M.
WHELCHEL INTRODUCES RESO
LUTION TO EXCLUDE GEORGIA
FROM GAS RATIONING AREA.
On Monday I introduced in the
House a Resolution having for its pur
pose the exclusion of Georgia from
the gasoline rationing area, because
the authorities declined to accede to
our request to do away with this rank
discrimination. The rationing of gas
oline is unreasonable and unneces
sary in Georgia. We have an over-sup
ply, due to the fact that there are
two gas lines coming into our state,
one from the Gulf, and one from the
West. Every gas storage tank is full
to overflowing, and gas is being
pumped from our state into Alabama
and Tennessee, where rationing does
not exist.
