YEOMANS PRAISED FOR
“EXTRA-DUTY” RECORD
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance)
Attorney General iM. J. Yeomans,
who is offering for re-election in the
Sept. 12 primary, has established an
enviazle record during his tenure of
office and has proved ,of service to
lawyers and the public outside his
regular duties.
Proving of unusual value to jurists
of the state, a book containing a
compilation of jury charges has been
issued through Judge Y’eomans’ au
thority and he has announced a pro
gram designed to assist law students
at the University of Georgia during
the session of the 1935 general as
sembly. The law students will com
pile bills to be presented before the
legislative l^ody.
Judge Y'eomans has appealed for a
large vote in coming primaries, is
suing a warning that registration
lists for state elections will close on
May 5. He is a staunch believer in
education. Judge Yeomans’ home is
at Dawson.
An editorial in the Walton Tribune
praises Judge Yeomans as “one of
the ablest atomey generals that the
state has ever had” and “has made
good on every count” while in office.
GEORGIA MILLERS ARE
CAUTIONED ON CORN TAX
BY COLLECTOR W. E. PAGE
A warning to Georgia millers in
icgard to a tax on the milling of
corn, was issued Thursday by Col
lector of Internal Revenue YV\ Eu
gene Page.
Mr. Pagt pointed out that the mil
lers must obtain affidavits on corn
they mill for the farmers’ own con
sumption above one bushel, or pay
the tax themselves. One bushel per
week is allowed each farmer without
an affidavit that the corn is for their
own consumption, he said.
This law already has been in ef
fect, said Mr. Page, but many millers
he continued, misunderstood a „ws
story some time ago whicn told of
the one bushel on which an affidavit
was not required. The story was cor
rect, acording to the revenue collec
tor, but the millers took it to mean
that no affiavits at all we required
of them.
Mr Page announced that all of
the millers in the Columbus zone
have been summoned by the deputy
in charge there to show cause why
they are not getting these affidavits.
If the milers in other sections of
the state do not begin reporting the
affidavits, they also will be sum
moned, said Mr. Page.
A store-to-store canvass of the
state to check on the processing tax
on all floor stock is being completid
in the Columbus zone, by M. D. Sea
born, chief of the field division, and
his crew of men .
These men have received wonder
ful co-ioperation on their canvass,
and surprisingly few have failed to
make a return, said the collector.

he was principal of one of the largest

He is nationally known for his re

and an instructor in social science,

Many years ago the Archbolds, ,of
Standard Oil fame; the Hanna family
of Cleverland, Ohio, and other million
aire folks who prefer the country to
social lire ,of fashionable beach re
sorts, began buying land in Thomas
County and building fine homes and
and hunting presevrves.
While many of the founders of
these estates have passed on, the sons
and daughters till own them and live
,on them throughout the winter. They
have spent vast sums in landscaping
and gardening, and the grounds in
spring-time and marvels of beauty.
Arrangements have been made by
the Thomasville hosts to take the
out-of-town visitors on a tour
through some of these estates, which
are not ordinarily open to the public.
To Thomasville the Rose Show is
the great event of the year, and its
success has made the little city fa

growers everywhere have heard of
the show and take wide interest in it
The displays include rose entered
