wholesale organization, Mr. Coyle

"Buit we failed to take into account
the vast expense attached to inaugu

had to be culled, ami such procedure
called for extra employes. Our ten

had to admit, our error to the coun

“In -Georgia,” he continued “we

“Already we have 22,000 recipients
of ebnelits on our ro-ils. Alabama,
which inaugurated the program 20

Calling attention to he propagan

fied one counity which pointedly has
placed on its rolls ail dependent ne
groes in tiie effort to belie the bene
fit of the program to white residents

Governor Rivers then burned his
attention to the stake's newly in-
health- and educational
program.
The speaker stated 200,000 chil
dren this year are attending school',
they could not enter last year be
cause their parents were not able to
afford money for school bo oils, and
every school in the state now has a
term of at least seven months dura
tion.
“For years we lagged at the foot
of the educational ladder of the na
tion,” the governor said. “That
condition no longer exists; and since
Iho inception of the current admin
istration. we have passed 20 of our
sister states in the climb for educa
tional emancipation.”
“By virtue of our work in health
and educational betterment, 1 pre
dict the next ten years will see the
earnnig power of' he middle and
