The nation lost one of its most
outstanding citizens last week in the
death of Hon. William Gibbs McAdoo
Secretary of the Treasury’ undei
President Wlison's administration.He
was admitted to the bar in Tennessee
where he practiced law some time
before, going to New York where he
was quite successful in both legal
activities and business life of the
Metropolis. Organizing the company,
which built the first tunnel under the
Hudson river, he won national fame
In commenting on his death the Ala-
con Telegraph says: “Mr. McAdoo
was bom in Alarietta, Ga., and lived
in Milledgeville with his family for
■ many years, during which he sold
' copies of The Alacon Telegraph as a
newsboy. He was a pupil of Charles
T. Bayne, father of Charles J. Bane
"Telegraph editorial writer. He visited

and spoke at GSCW.“
speaking of friend McCullar of the
News, it seems that being confined to
his room several days by illness,which
we incerely regret, has greatly mel
lowed and somewhat sweetened his
disposition. In his recent issue ho
challenges with all sincerity burying
the hatchet, including the handle, be
tween all factions at war in Mill
edgeville, including himself, that may
be retarding the religious, civic,
business or even newspapers, in that
fair city. We found so much in that
one issue to commend itself to oar
reading that we were not satisfied
until we had devoured every line
from McCullaris gifted pen. No man
in Georgia is better posted on the
condition of affairs in the state than
Editor McCullar, nor one more anx
ious and ready to lend a helping hand
to correct some of the evils that have j
been allowed to exist for a long
while than he. Our sincere hope is
that he may continue to carry on in
the good work he has started in Iris
highly interesting publication.
TOO MUCH LINDY
Mr. J. T. Barrow, one of Taylor
county's most genial citizens, as well
as successful and enterprising mer
chant of Reynolds, praises Alacon
and especially the Telegraph for their
many accomplishments. The Tele
graph's recent “Lindbergh” editorial
is highly commended by Mr. Barrow
His letter as published in Saturday's
Telegraph is reproduced as follows:
"Editor The Telegraph:

ICE IN AUGUST
We reproduce the following from
liro. Eugene Anderson's interesting
column in the Macon Telegraph per- 1
mitting our readers to draw their
r wn conclusions as to whether the
story be fact or fiction:
It was back in the days when
"God Ileself couldn't make ice in the
summertime.” The Primitive Baptists
held their conference in August at a
brother's home up near Covington. A
member from Jasper county liked
J very much a beverage that was com
mon back in those days. He liked it
too much, he confessed at the next
meeting of his congregation. Rules
were rigid and punishment for mis
steps and mis-deods was certain; and
every memlier was expected to ‘fess
up.
The erring brother was man
enough to tell on himself: “Breth
ren” he said, “the weather was hot,
nwful hot; and I was thirsty, awful
thirsty. Before us was placed some
of the best peach brandy I ever
smelled. By it was honey, ice and
water and some mint. When it was
all mixed together ami stirred it was
the liest tasting stuff I over drank. I
drank a mite too much, and had to
go upstairs and take a nap. I was
tipsy brethren; no use to deny it; and
1 have come to ask your forgiveness’
One brother replied: “I move that
we forgive the brother for getting
drunk, but 1 move we turn him out
of the church for lying. Does ho
think we don't know God himself
couldn't make ice in August?”
NOT NEEDED
The Treasury Department calls at
tention to the income tax law which
requires that every citizen or resi
dent must file a return if his or her
gross income is $800 as a single per
son, or $2,000 as a married individu
al. The return must be made regard
less of whether the individual has
any tax to pay.
A constitutional amendment intro
duced by Hon. E. S. Harrison, rep-
resenting the 23rd Senatorial district
is looked upon with disfavor by thc
Atlanta Constitution which says edi
torially:
“It is to be hoped the Georgia as
sembly will vote down the proposal,
contained in a constitutional amend
ment introduced in tihe senate by
Senator E. S. Harrison, of Musella,
for annual sessions.
"There is no need for an annual
gathering of the state lawmakers.
The present system of biennial ses
sions was instituted as a means ul
saving thc state's money and of
avoiding, every other year, the un
certainties and disruption that are
inevitable for business all over the
state when the assembly is in ses
sion.
“Under the state law it is possible
in case of any emergency for the
governor to roll the legislators in
special session. With such a safe
guard there is absolutely no need for
annual sessions. And a legislature
dedicated, as is this one, to economy
and to support of t'he Tainadge
pledge to get the state out of debt
should he the last to consider adding
to state ox-ponses the heavy cost of
additional sessions.”

It is common to speak of the news

Criticism of Col. Lindbergh is
not directed against his view tliat the
lend-lease bill should not be passed.
Many good Americans who are not
suspected of Nazi leanings, argue
for its mondification and Lindbergh
is entitled to his opinion.
But it is something else when he
electrifies the drooping spirits of the
Nazis by telling them the United
States and the British Empire com
bined cannot lick them and when he
advocates a ‘negotiated peace.’
“The importance of morale cannot
be overestimated and we can imag
ine the depressing result on the Al
lies and the thrill it gave the Axis
nations when he broadcast this de
featism.
“Ho thinks it would be as bad for
Great Britain to win as it would for
the Axis to triumph.
It is difficult to be patient with
such babble in the light of the past.
On the one hand, we see Britain so
restrained that she permits the Irish
Free State to imperil the Atlantic
convoy system rather than seize her
naval bases. On the other hand, iwe
know that the Nazis have not hesi
tated to seize any port or am people
who stood in the way of their re
morseless Juggernaut.
“No sane man believes that peace
and security could exist in the de
mocracies of the world if a truce had
to be negotiated with an undefeated
Germany and it is a sorry service to
strengthen Nazi morale in this su
preme hour of peril.”

W. M. BROWN, JR., Mgr.
(By J. C. Wilson)
Chas. D .Redwine, the very able
and popular veteran legislator and
political leader of Fayette county, is
again elected president of the Geor
gia State Senate, without opposition
ns he was the last time. And if the
present administration of Gov. Tal-
madge is successful and popular with
the people, Mr. Redwine is likewise
to be rated as a very formidable can-
date for Governor, when the ad
ministration is ready to retire.
Few men in Georgia have achieved
more remarkable legislative records
than genial, smiling, energetic, inde-
fatigued Charlie Redwine. Fayette
county- sent him to the House of
■ Kopresntatives three times insucces-
i slon, almost as a boy, from 1911 to
1916, then sent Kim to the Senate
four times in succession, each time
it came Fayette's turn to name the
Sl,ate .^enator from that district, the
26th. This covered tihe period from
1917 to 1936, and was a record never
equaled by any other State Senator in
Georgia.
\TTTeii he mounted the rostrum as
President of the Senate at the open
ing of the 19145 session of the Gen
eral Assembly, Mr. Redwine found
himself the first layman to wield the
gavel in a quarter of a century, his
predecessors during that period hav
ing al! been lawyers. At the end of
that session, every member of the
Senate joined in introducing a reso
lution praising him for tie fair and
able manner in which he presided
over the state's business.
In 19’6 he ran for Governor and
was defeated by E. D. Rivers. That
was the first defeat ever chalked up
ngainst Redwine, although defeated
he came out of the race with the re
spect and affection of the people of
Georgia, and stands higher in their
estimation today than ever belore.
This year he came back as a candi
date for the State Senate and was
elected without apposition, making
it tire fifth consecutive term elected \
to the senate.
Throughout his career as a Georgia*^
lawmaker, Chas. Redwine has been
consistently a conservative, opposing
extravagance and waste. Adequate
support of the common schools, to
give the rank and file of Georgia
children a better education, has been
his prominent legislative interest,and
will continue to be.
Mr. Redwine's business interests
are among the largest and most di
versified in the state. He operates a
great plantation, is president of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank of
Fayetteville, and is a partner in Red
wine Brothers, merchants and manu- (
facturers who enjoy the confidence
cl' the people throughout their section
and do a very large business.
