the Electorial College in choosing
a president, so that there have
been presidents who did not re
ceive a majority of the popular
vote.
‘‘It is undeniably true that there
is a glaring inequality between
Chatetahoochee County and Ful
ton coumy in representation in the
legislature, and the consequence,
in applying the County Unit rule
to a primary. i
“We conclude on all grounds
that an interlocutory injunction
should be denied.”
In stating its opinion the court
said:
“We consider that this case is in
its general aspects one of party
politics, in which courts should!
not meddle unless the duty to do!
so is plain. We are of the opinion
that it would be going too far for
a court to equity to undertake to
prevent the Secretary of State from
performing his functions under
laws conferredly valid, or to in
terfere with his transmitting the
returns of the general election to
the legislature.”
A. W. Smith, attorney for Mrs.
Mankin, said an appeal probably
would be taken to the U. S. Su
preme Court.
In the July 17 Democratic Pri
mary, Talmadge won the nomina
tion under the unit vote system
although he trailed Jas. Carmi
chael, backed by Gov. Arnall, by
about 14,000 votes in the state
wide popular vote total.
Pension Hike for Aged r
Is Misleading in News 1
Story, Sidney Camp Says §
— *
Washington, Aug. 26—Repre- •>
sentative A Sidney Camp, of J
Georgia’s Fourth District, has *
taken issue with a story released !£
to the Georgia press on August 18
by A. J. Hartley, state welfare di- *
rector, which indicated that Geor- ^
gia old-age pensioners will have •>
their pensions increased from a %
$30 to $45 a month maximum. ■ v
' v
Mr. Camp said the article was ❖
“most misleading” and he pointed +
specifically to a statement which *
said "this increase places Georgia a
in the lead in the nation.” j T
His discussion of the story is; ♦
contained in a weekly letter to his +
constituents which was written by (
him Saturday in Newnan and dis- > ♦
tributed from his Washington of- ' J
fice Monday. The statement fol-l*
lows: j |
“Last Sunday the daily press, *
announced the fact that beginning
Oct. 1 old-age pensioners in Geor
gia will have their pensions in
creased from a $30 to a $45 per
month maximum, and since that
time many of these pensioners
have asked me many questions
regarding it. The news article also
stated that this increase places
Georgia in the lead in the nation-
I regret to say that this article is
most misleading. The average
amount now being paid by the
State of Georgia for old age as
sistance is $11.79 per month of
which amount the U. S. Govern
ment pays $5.89.”

Herald-
Of equal importance in high
way improvements to those refer
red to above is the paving of the
uncompleted portion of the But-
lerColumbus highway practically
assured before the end of the
year. The Columbus Enquirer of
yesterday carried the following
editorial reference to this project:
“The Enquirer is glad to note
that special efforts are now under
way to bring about the completion
of the paved highway from Co
lumbus to the Taylor county
towns of Butler and Reynolds.
“Announcement was made some
days ago that the Chamber of
Commerce highway committee,
headed by Leon K. Camp, is be
hind the proposal to pave a dirt
gap of 10.5 miles from Geneva to
Junction City. It was stated that
Sims Garrett, Jr., vice chairman
of the Highway Board, has been
actively interested in this project
for some time and that he was
hoping for an early letting of the
contract.
"Attention was focused on this
10-mile unpaved stretch during
the recent Hi-Neighbor program
which brought a delegation from
Taylor county to Columbus. It is
necessary to travel 79.1 miles, via
Ellaville, if an all-paved route is
taken from Butler to Columbus,
whereas the direct way over the
unpaved gap is only 50.3 miles. |
“This unpaved stretch most cer-!
tainly should be paved. The peo- 1
pie of Taylor and Talbot counties
are entitled to an all-paved high- j
way to Columbus. It is not fair to
them to force them to ride over i
dirt roads or to take another route
♦o Columbus-
“We understand that the Ameri
can Legion is behind a project, |
which appears to embrace the
proposal that the Chamber of
Commerce is pushing. A meeting
of Legion officials from Warner ‘
Robins, Fort Valley, Reynolds, But- I
ler and Columbus has been set 1
for September 8 at Fort Valley for !
the purpose of discussing plans I
for "getting a paved road from!
Warner Robins to Columbus
through Fort Valley, Reynolds and
Butler,” according to information
received here by local Legion oK,
ficials, from Victor H. Tomlinson, j
Jr., adjutant of the Frederick i
Withoft Post of Fort Valley.
“This effort by the Legion should
provide added impetus to the
movement for a good road to Ma-1
con and other central Georgia
points through Butler and Rey-1
nolds.”
