HARRISON RESIGNS POST
AS SUPREME COURT CLERK
BECAUSE OF ILL HEALTH
Atlanta, Dec. 6.—Zadok D. Harri
son, Georgia’s oldest official and for
66 years connected with the state su
preme court, resigned his post Wed
nesday as clerk of the court and Miss
Kathrine Bleckly was named to suc
ceed him.
Failing health and advanced age—
I he is 92—brought the retirement of
Mr. Harrison from a post which had
been virtually his life’s work.
Thus the man whose life and offi
cial connection had spanned one of
the most important historical, eco
nomic and social eras of the state
stepped aside to give his post to the
daughter of a widely known figure in
Georgia legal circles—Logan Bleck
ley, clerk of the state court of ap
peals.
Miss Bleckley has been deputy
clerk of the supreme court for sev
eral years and is an authority on the
work of the state’s highest judicial
body. She was elected unani.nousjy
by all six justices of the court said
Chief Justice Richard B. Russell, Sr.
The chief justice wrote Mr. Har
rison a letter expressing the regret
of the court at his retirement, and
laudir.g him for his long and faithful
servi’e.
DETECTIVES IN MACON
ROUND UP GANGSTERS
Macon, Ga., Dec. 6.—Seven alleged
members of a notorious Tennessee
gang of railway station bandits have
been rounded up in Macon, Detective
Chief T. E. Garrett announced Thurs-
day.
The suspects, held under blanket
charges, were Ernie Miller, Dave Fox
Louie Schiappa and T. M. Queadrick,
all of Knoxville, ami Fred 1 Martin, 0.
P. Young and Edward Young, of Tif-
ton, Ga.
Miller, said to be leader of the
gang, Fox and Schiappa were picked
up in a downtown cafe on suspicion
of robbing the Southern Railway
freight house of $1,100 worth of
cigarettes at Macon Sunday night.
The others were arrested in a local
grocery where they attempted to casn
a worthless check for $7.50, officers
said.
Chief Garrett said one of the pris
oners offered him a $600 bribe to ar
range for release of himself and the
others.
As Miller, Fox and Schiappa were
arrested, three women who were din
ing with them fled in an automobile.
Officers believed the machine con
tained part of the loot obtained in re
cent station robberies.
The Miller gang is suspected of
robbing the Southern Railway station
at Winder, Ga., of more than $2,000
worth of property two weeks age, of
ficers said. They were wanted on a
number of charges in Tennessee.

Very quietly hut none the less firm

proving that the i’resident really
means to encourage private industry.
Correspondents who have their
ears losest to the New Deal ground
say a definite breach has opened be
tween the Administration ai d the
American Federation of Labor. Wm.
Green made an open bid for an en-
gagement at the White House at the
time the Federation was closing its
annuul convention in San Francisco.
Up to now, his request for an ap
pointment with the President has not
been honored. Reason: The Adminis
tration is taking labor advice from its
official family, and apparently real
izes that the A. F of L., with less
than 10 per cent of the Nation’s
workers, cannot attempt to speak for
all.

Government officials as Nothing else

exhibited the soundest sort of judg

—the policy of having official hands

hint of a skeleton..
Capitol Hill is abuzz with gossip
about this and that, especially the
prospect of Texans ‘‘ridin’ herd” on
both the House and Senate. Vice
President Garner doesn't have to
worry about his job as President of
the Senate, of course, and nothing
has happened as yet to upset the pre
diction that Rep. Ram Rayburn will
be named house speaker. But there is
going to be much talk about the boys
from the Lone Star State before the
Democratic caucus.
Illustrative of the persona) loyalty
which President Roosevelt inspires is
the attitude of those who have de
parted from his inner-circle. Aitho it
is generally known that Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson and Louis Douglas, direc
tor of the budget, were railroaded by
those within the Administration fa
voring bigger and better experiments

either critical of the Administration,
although they might w»ll have said
some pertinent things denouncing un
sound policies. It might be added
that the Administration is still wait

Johnson’s autobiography and wonder
ing how far he will go in hitting out
at those who wanted reforms ahead

Secretary Vt a I lace
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
1 am a citizen of Marion County,
Ga. I was asked by the Cotton Pro
duction Committee of this county to
givi my views ns to the best ana
right way to curry on saiu cotton
program as I see it.
There is only one way to do jt and
he fuir to all. and that is to allow
every cotton farmer to produce, ami
sell, the same amount of cotton per
plow, (or mule, whatever amununc
thgt might be, to keep production in
line with consumption.
Let him he on the poor lunds of
the Mississippi Valley, whether he be
rich or poor, white or Pluck. This is
the only way for every man to re
ceive his just reward for his labor
In n.j humble judgment it isn’t
right for some furmers to be uiloted
more than othert* because his land is
better ai.d more productive, he hav
ing already reduced his cotton for
the past several years, to just enough
to meet the necessary expenses of his
farm and family needs. Why should
any man be penalized for doing for
some years hack what the Govern
ment no.v says he must do in 1934
and 1935.
This law has done more damage to
small farmers than anything that has
ever happened in this state. I know
of many small farmers who have al
ready reduced their cotton acreage 50
and' 60 per cei it before the Govern
ment ever asked for a reduction. They
were just making sufficient cotton to
get by with, and then comes the Gov
ernment and cuts them 40 per cent
more, leaving them with nothing to
pay taxes, fertilizer bills, debts, and
other necessary expenses, in fact
nothing to pay anything with.
1 know farmers in this county who
have been farming all of their lives
who are uiloted less than one bale of
cotton to the plow. They had bought
fertilizer, und owed other debts. So
we small furmers had to go to the
big farmers and buy ti.kets from
them that have plenty, thai is taking
from the poor and giving to the rich
There are farmers who have worked
every way to get big rent and big
allotments, so they could sell t» the
small farmers. There have been a
great many evil things pulled over
the small farmers. They got pay for
plowing jp cotton, also rent on the
laiuli that was taken out of produc
tion. This was u voluntary act of
their own.
We small farmers had reduced 1 to
the limit before this all came about.
We received no rent. We received
nothing but penalty for doing whait
each cotton farmer should have done
as we did before ail this plow-up
came about.
1 do not think it is right to pen
alize a man for doing trie thing all
cotton farmers should have done be
fore he was compelled by the Gov
ernment
I respectfully ask you in the name
of justice, to lift this burden off the
small farmer.
Yours very truly,
B. J. PIKE.

LITTLE HOLLIS ALBRITTON
Hollis was born Oct. 19, 1931, died
Nov. 17, 1934, making his stay on
earth four years and one month.
No one knows what pain he suffer
ed (luring his last few hours We
know that Jesus stood by him in
these hours of sickness and we also
know that it was in accord with
God’s will that he was taken to that
happy home above.
He leaves to mourn his passing a
father, mother, four brothers and
three sisters.
A week has passed since you left us
Sad was the shock that day,
You bid us all a last farewell
The last goodbye you could not say
Your sparkling eyes and smiling face
We now no more shall see,
Your lips that smiled so sweet to us
Are now forever cold.
More and more we miss you
Some may think the wound is
healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That in our heart is concealed.
What is home without a brother.
All the things a world may send
For when we lost our dear brother
We lost a precious friend.
Peaceful be thy rest, dear brother,
*Tis sweet to breathe thy name,
In life we loved you dearly,
And in death we do the same.
In the graveyard quietly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave, '
Lies the body of our dear brother
In his silent, lonely grave.
