Wilkes county, and is an electrical
appliance dealer and farmer. His
wife is the former Miss Bertha
Gunter of Wilkes. She is a teach

schools.
The candidate said he planned
an active campaign and expected
to talk principally about agricul
ture.
"The farmers need a marketing
system for thqir products,” he
commented. “I plan to tell about
one I have in detail.”
Former Governor Talmadge, who
had been expected to enter the
Senate race, gave out a statement
three hours before the entries
closed saying he had decided not
to run for any office this year. His
statement follows:
“I wish to express my deep ap

“After careful consideration, 1 j

which this nation is now involved.
"A heated political campaign
creates factions—sometimes bit

“It is not for the best interests
of this country for us to be dis
cussing too loudly at this time our
differences on national issues. It
could tend to encourage our ene

to the dangers of our boys at the

I shh’ do have a hard time. The Sheriff passed my house
one day last week, and heard my wife singing. He stopped, got
out of his car and came in my house and swore and be-durn
that I were whipping her. He carried me to jail and kept mo
two days before the people in Woodland could convince him
that he was wrong.
The people in Talbot, Meriwether, Taylor and Upson coun
ties have one thing to be thankful for; they know they come to
Woodland anytime they need a mule and save money.
I have any kind of a mule that you could ask for this week
I have been doing a good bit of trading here lately, and I have
some mighty good second hand mules that are ready to be put
to hard work.
My wife don't believe in a Radio at all. She says it’s some
body out in the back yard talking.
If you are a sawmill man, I have a black mare mule just
5 years old that you will buy.
I have a 5-year-old work mare that is as pretty as a pic
ture and works like a mule.
Me and my wife looked down the road the other day, and
we both thought we saw a funeral ceremony coming, but it
wasn't; it was my wife’s kin folks coming. I slept on the floor
too, during their visit.
Somebody is going to be made happy this week. I have a
black mare mule that will weigh 1100 pounds for onlv $50.00-
slick and fat.
I will be more than glad to have you go to Atlanta with me
and pick your own mules, and I will just charge you a very
small amount for hauling them. I will save you from $50.00 to
$75.00 per head.
We Will Buy. Sell, or Trade with You.

Hershey reminded his hearers
that farm workers are eligible for
deferment under the Tydings
amendment only if they are regu
larly engaged in, and necessary to
an agricultural endeavor essential
to the war effort, and if they are
irreplacable.
“Each of us producing food can
do more,” he said. "There are men
and women who can aid in food
production who have not done so;
we can ration more than we have;
but there is no way to increase
the number of young men physi
cally fit.”

160 Bales Of Cotton
Burned At Columbus;
Loss Estimated At $17,000
Columbus, Ga., April 4—A fire
which caused damage at approxi
mately $17,000, was reported Mon
day morning at Columbus. The fire
was believed to have started be
cause of carelessness with a ci
garette, and as a result, played
havoc with the bales of cotton
piled on the street directly in
front of the W. C. Bradley Co.
About 160 bales of cotton valued

sent the attitude of some of our
own people and public officials as
they join in advertising and pa

“Under the law, gentlemen, I am
required to charge you specifically
in regard to various statutes, such
as the carrying of deadly weapons

violation of the Sabbath, gambl

as experienced grand jurors, are
already familiar. I shall leave it
to you and your able Solicitor
General, to investigate every vio

Criminal Code in charge, and urge
you to see to it that no violator
escapes who has transgressed the
laws of our state. Now is a time
when every one of us has enough
urgent and right things to do* and
none should have time or inclina
tion to do things which are illegal
and harmful.
“The present year should see
our supreme, and I hope success

untold loss, sorrow, and suffering

Lee County Journal
Prints Large Edition
Leesburg, Ga., April 4—A 32-
page tabloid, devoted to the “Food
for Freedom” program of Lee
county, has been published by the
Lee County Journal, edited by J.
H. Crouch.
The paper gives a resume or the
farm program to be carried out
this year by the county, stating
that all feed and food crops have
been stepped up in an effort to
comply with the government's re
quest for greater production.
Soldier Killed, Many
Hurt In Rocket Blast
Ft. Jackson, S. C., April 4—One
soldier was killed and 22 were in
jured when an antitank rocket was
accidentally exploded Tuesday, Ft.
Jackson officials announced.
The names of the men involved
at $150 per bale were destroyed,
according to C G. Scarbrough, vice back toVs”wound7d7maimed," and
broken. Many, and God grant it
may not be too many, will never
return. It is going to be a testing
time for all; a time we will need
to be much in prayer and above
all, will need the comfort and
strength which comes from “Lean
ing Upon the Everlasting Arm.”
Let us work as well as watch and
pray. Keep our faith bright, our
hopes high, and our individual
lives clean and straight. A correct
life and example is far stronger
than an elaborate charge or an
eloquent sermon.

damage estimated at $1,0000 was
inflicted on the warehouse, Mr.
Scarbrough reported that the city

Another call was maae by the
firemen at 3 p. m. Monday. It was

where a fire in the basement

Washington, April 4—OPA Ad
ministrator Chester Bowles an
nounced Tuesday that periodic in
spection of tires on passenger au
tocobiles will be discontinued af
ter April 30.
“This does not mean that the
tire picture has become any
brighter,” Bowles said. “It simply
means that the inspection pro
gram has served its primary ob
jective—to make motorists con
scious of the extreme need for tire
conservation and care.”
He pointed out that tires on
cars now in operation have been
examined at least three times
since the inspection program was
put in operation in December,
1942. As a result, Bowles said, all
of the required repairs, mechani
cal difficulties and recapping
needs revealed by the inspections
have been called to motorists’ at
tention.
Inspection certificates still will

The agency cautioned motorists
that their inspection records
should notbe discarded, since
they will still be used in the gaso
