because if the .market drops too
much, we can always kill our hogs

When growing hogs for market,
the County Agent advised farmers
to «plan a breeding and feeding pro-

for market during the spring and

The entire plans for the Presi

tails of such arrangements. Every
facility will be provided for the
thousands who are expected to come
to Gainesville that day to see anu
hear the President, While the streets
will be roped off for the parade, the
sidewalks and vantage points will be
open to the public and there wall be
ample cleared space around tlie
court house and city hall for every
one. In addition, loud speakers will
be provided to carry the President’s
voice to all, pants of the city. Like
wise ,there will be radio hook-ups to
carry his address to the nation.
A platform will .be erected im
mediately in front of the President's
stand which will be occupied by the
distinguished, guests who come here
for the occasion. The public will as

A Proclamation
By the Governor:
Whereas: It is the consensus
progressive Georgians that an urg
ent need of the state is to set up
markets for products from Georgia
farms; and
Whereas: It is agreed that the
best way to promote markets is for
all Georgians to use and prefer Geor
gia products, which will ’bring abou‘
preparing and packaging in most
attructiic shape, leading to improv
ed commodities and enabling them tr
bring as good prices as those from
outside the state, creating demand
for Georgia products, and in this
way providing markets of large and
small dimensions; and
Whereas: The Georgia purchasing
law provides it shall be the duty o
the supervisor of -purchase in the
purchase of and in contracting for
any supplies, materials, and equip
ment and—or printing to give pre’-
erencc bo far as may be reasonable
and practicable to such materials,
supplies, equipment nnd—or printing
as may be manufactured or produced
in the state of Georgia. It being the
intention of this section to use in so
far ns is practicable Georgia prou-
urts and—or Georgia labor: Pro
vided, however, that in giving such
preference no sacrifice or loss in
price or mialitv should lie permitted
nnd nrovided further that preference
in all cases shall be given to surnlns
products or arrieles produced and—-
or manufactured bv other state de
partments, inst-tutjons or o-n-enries
wF'uh are available for distribution:
and
Whereas: A recent older of tlie
board of regents, welfare board and
the purchasing agent have directed
that all Georgia institutions under
their direction -shall use Georgia
products in every way possible every
day in the year; and
Whereas: There have been more
or less spasmodic efforts to encour
age diversification by having an an
nual Georgia products dinner;
Therefore: I, E. D. Rivers, as
Governor of Georgia, do hereby en
dorse what has been done, and to
add to it the order and request to
all state institutions and the au
thorities thereof to make the pro
motion of consumption of Georgia
products and the encouragement
thereof u major objective every day
in tlie year, and in every way. There
are many criticisms to be met as to
quality, appearance, price, et cetera,
but it is declared and urged that
these objectives be overcome by en
couraging words, by suggestion and
helpful advice, to the end that Geor
gia may be placed on a self-sustain
ing basis insofar as possible. The
money of tax-payers support our
public institutions, and wh°rever
possible this money should be turn
ed back to the trix-navors through
purchases of what they produce.
1 also call upon all residents oi
Georgia to lay this matter seriously
uipon their minds, and keep it there
—to the end that every day in every
year may become a Georgia products
day .Let us make Thanksgiving a day
of reckoning on this score, along
with taking account of ourselves and
our blessings in other directions. If
Thanksgiving dinners are made up
entirely of Georgia products, so as
nearly as possible, the subject may
well become a topic in every home,
to the end that great good can be
accomplished in causing each family
or household to take pride in what
is being done along this line, to
check up on how close to 100 per
cent the dinner is made up of Geor
gia products.
It is my wish that all public in
stitutions, luncheons and other so
cial and fraternal clubs shall have a
Georgia products dinner as close to
Thnksgiving as may be practicable,
Tor the advertising value it will af
ford, to formulate a program ot
talks of general information on the
suiHect. The institution head, or civ : c
social or fraternal club, where the
highest percentage of Georgia prod
ucts per capita is used during a year
■will be awarded a certificate of hon
or, to be framed and posted in a
conspicious place, that the public
may see where the best work is be
ing done in this matter, and may be
encouraged t.o do and do likewise.
Three certificates won in succession
will be awarded a loving cup su ; t-
nblv on craved, to encourage the
,r nod work, and secure the coopera
tion of evervone etteahed to the in-
et ; tetion« nod clubs.
Let all Georgia move as one in
this matter, and great progress can
be made in overcoming the -balance
of trade that is now against us, and
in setting up markets and making
our people Georgia-minded.
I ask that this proclamation be
read at every public dinner on
Thanksgiving Day, and endorsement
t and help be pledged.

on^.-ges in lie law was advocated
.iioiwy by Judge C. Frajjk hueLaugn-
,in, of superior court, in Its charge
to the Muscogee county giand jury,
which was organized for tne Novem
ber term.
Judge McLaughlin was referring
.o a coiuleicnce tnuC lias been called
oy Gov. E. D. Rivers oi superior and
city court judges anti solicitors to be
ueid 1 in Atuaiwa next Thu.r&..uy lor
the announced- puipose oi studyiu 0
p-.anis for legislative “revision of the
parole s.ys.em in Georg.a.” Judge
McLaughlin took the position that
the law is ail light ana that no nu.,
laws on -the subject ore necessary:
that “we already have too many
laws,” but he was critical of the an
uses into which the law hao fallen.
The judge -took the position that
no revision by judges and solicitors
of the parole system- is needed ana
indicated that -it was no necessity for
ihe conference called, i-i.aani-ucn a'
administration of the law is not up
.o the court officials.
In this connection Judge Mc
Laughlin. pointed to various instanc
es of abuse of the existing law, e.en
to the extent that tlie prison com
mission lias been icnoiwn to tuxo
cases out of the hands of the courts
and grant pardon® or parole®, while
motion for new trial was still pend
ing in -the counts. “Yes, the system
needs ovision, but not by the law, - ’
he asserted.
The judge took issue with state
ments credited to the states cfiie'i
executive to the effect that not
more than 25 per cent of those com
ing before he prison authorities tor
clemency are first offendera He
stated that he believed that more
than 75 per cent and in. -the case of
this county 91) per cent are" men who
have been u;p for tlie second time or
more.
In this same connection he de
plored the fact that so many hard
ened criminals are being turned
Loose on “our society either through
the pardoning power of the state oi
by escapes from prisons.'' Referring
to the “trusty” policies of prison
officials, he asserted emphatically in
hi opinion based on experience, that
hardened criminals cann'ot be trust
ed. He reiterated his faith in and
advocacy of the probation system,
especially for .first offenders and
youths. He characterized as o.ntT ol
our big problems the lenace of fed-
on® who escape punishment as pro
vided by our existing laws. He laid
down the prinicpal of “simple justice
for the high and the low administer
ed to all alike.”
In. connection with the increasing
number o.f youthful offenders being
carried before the courts, the judge
again appealed for the “re-establish
ment and rejuvenation of pro-ppei
home tiraininvr in this country.”
The judge instructed' the jury to
investigate not only such crimnna'
cases as are brought to the body’s
attention by the prosecuting official:!
buit to fake the initiative in the in
vestigation of all crime or evidences
of crime wherever it may be known
to exist. In this connection he turned
over to the foreman of the grand
jury, T. F. Lockwood, a report of n
recent grand jury in Fulton county.
He especially directed attention to
the manner in. which taxicabs are
operated in this city, and referred to
tlie operation of curs by drunken
drivers as one of tlie most menacing
problem st
The judge declared' himself as op
posed to the tendency in some quar
ters for jurors to undertake to select
the laws for enforcement, but urged
that all laws on the statute books be
more rigidly applied, taking the po
sition that “if a law we do not like
is a bad 1-aiw the best way in the
