NEW ENTRIES INTO
STATE PRIMARY
THE PAST WEEK
J. J. BROWN WILL AGAIN TRY
FOR COMMISSIONER OF
AGRICULTURE.
ATLANTA, Ga.—There were
other entries into the state political
campaign during the past week.
Three candidates paid their fees
over the week-end, at least one of
them surprising state house officials
by so doing, and others are expect
ed to pay before this week is over.
All entries close next Tuesday, June
3rd, and several who have announced
they would seek office have yet to
fulfill requirements of the state
Democratic committee.
J. J. Brown, of Baxley, former
commissioner of agriculture, who was
defeated by Eugene Talmadge in
1926, was the man who upset the
political dopesters. Mr. Brown sent
his entrance fee to Mrs. Bessie An
derson, secretary of the committee,
on Saturday, but let it go at that.
No statement was forthcoming for
the press, and even unofficial spokes
men were lacking for the former
official. Several- state department:
heads said, however, that Brown’s.
entry insured political fireworks ■
this summer. Eugene Talmadge,
the present commissioner, expects to
run again, but has not made a for
mal announcement.
Others paying last week included
Adjutant General Homer C. Parker |
and B. M. Bullard, both seeking the
office of Comptroller General now
held by William B. Harrison. Mr.
Harrison is also in the race for the
office.
Early in the week United States
Senator William J. Harris stated
that he would mail his entrance
fees to the committee secretary. Op
position to Senator Harris so far has
been in the form of rumors only.
Former Governor John M. Slaton
and Stanley S. Bennet, of Quitman,
have been mentioned, but have not
formally announced intentions one
way or another.
In the governor’s race Richard B. I
Russell, Jr., is the only official gu
bernatorial candidate, he alone hav-,
ing paid his entrance fee. James A. ,
Perry, chairman of the Public
Service Commission, said he would
“take the cover off of things” in a
speech at Baxley, Appling county,
on Thursday night, however, and
George H. Carswell said his cam
paign plans were in shape.
John N. Holder, former chairman
of the State Highway Commission,
E. D. Rivers, former state senator,
and Gordon Chapman, Sandersville
editor, are others who have an
nounced for the governorship, but
remained silent during the past
week.
Mrs, Bessie Anderson, secretary
of the Democratic committee, said
Saturday that she was prepared for,
a last minute rush of fees as in pre
vious years. Many of the candidates
wait until the last minute, she said,
in order to see what, if any, oppo
■— sition they must face.

those pretty Blake twins apart.

A PROFITABLE
PEACH CROP NOW
SEEMS CERTAIN
QUANTITY AND QUALITY TO BE
HIGHER THIS YEAR,
TALMADGE SAYS.
Every condition points to a prof
itable year for Georgia peach grow
ers, with an increased crop, as com
pared with last year, when 5;298
cars were shipped, uniformly high
er quality, couple dwith abnormally
small yields in other sections, Eu
gene Talmadge, Commissioner of
Agriculture, predicted this week.
Georgia growers should net SI,OOO
a car after paying freight and sales
cost, Director Jones of the Bureau
of Markets, estimates, after a care
ful analysis of all factors that en
ter into the marketing of this year’s
crop.
The 1930 crop is estimated by the
Georgia Peach Growers Exchange
at 7,400 cars. If the estimated num
ber of cars and the net of SI,OOO a
car net turns out to be correct,
then the crop this year will bring
to the growers $7,400,000, for car
lot shipments alone. To this may
be added the value of peaches sold
locally, moved by truck or absorbed
near the groves by canners.
The total value of the 1929 crop,
from all sources, was placed at
$3,312,000. The total ( value of the
1928 bumper, when almost 16,000 k
cars were shipped, was placed at
$8,000,000.
“Georgia occupies a better posi
tion today with regard to her peach
industry than she has at any time
in the past ten years,” Commission
er Talmadge declares. “Reports
reaching my office are that the crop
will be larger than any other State
except California, and reports to
the Bureau of Markets indicate that
the crop is of higher quality than
those of the past several years.
Peaches are free from worms, grass
hopper bites and other defects, and
there is a larger percentage of high
grade fruit on the trees. In my
opinion Georgia has never produced
a finer quality of peaches than this
year,” says Mr. Talmadge.
FISHING SEASON TO
OPEN JUNE Ist
Peter S. Twitty, chairman of the [
state game and fish commission, an-!
nounced Tuesday that the fishing;
season would be opened in 40 ■
Georgia counties on June Ist.
Early county is listed in the 40 \
counties whose season opens on that
date.
Mr. Twitty said he had received I
hundreds of requests for information
concerning Georgia’s fishing law's re
cently and pointed out that it is un
lawful to dynamite, shoot, trap or
poison fish. It is also unlawful to
seine or net fish except in counties
where special permission has been
given.
It is contrary to the Georgia code
to fish on Sunday.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
I hereby announce that I shall be
a candidate for Representative from
Early county in the Democratic pri
mary to be held this year for nomi
nation to that office. If elected I
shall do my best to serve the inter
ests of our county and state.

SOUTHERN STATES
PLAN IMPROVEMENTS
Expenditure of $770,993,668 Will
Be Made This Year.
Atlanta, Ga.—Expenditure of
$770,993,668 this year for civic im
provements is being planned in cit
ies of the 17 southern states, The
Southern City, magazine published
here, has announced.
The publication said the data was
gathered in an extensive survey. A
total of $77,325,342.45 has been
allocated from 197 southern cities’
funds for projects varying from air
ports to sewers, the magazine quotes
city officials as reporting.
The 17 states will spend $300,-
000,000 for highway construction in
addition to expenditures of cities,
the magazine states, “which substan
tiates the assurance of bacis prosper
ity seen in proposed development ac
tivities for 1930.”
The Southern City announced fur
ther that of the grand total for cities
alone, $152,721,028 would be spent
for street paving and $103,415,170
for waterworks improvements.
All the expenditures will be for
improvements in addition to the cit
ies’ usual maintenance expenses.
The magazine says Savannah has
$2,285,000 for 1930 improvements;
Columbus $2,139,676; and Bruns
wick more than $300,000.
A survey by F. W. Dodge corpora
tion shows Georgia contracted for
$3,943,000 worth of building and
engineering work last month. Con
struction contracts for the first four
months of the year for the state
totaled $19,561,300, the Dodge cor
poration said.
TRAFFIC CRASHES COST
LIVES OF 33,060 IN 1929
An Economic Lois of $850,000,000
Is Also Shown.
Washington, D. C.—Traffic acci
dents cost the lives of 33,060 per
sons last year and caused an eco
nomic loss of $850,000,000, accord
ing to an Associated Press story.
In making public this finding, a
special committee on traffic accident
statistics said that deaths from such
accidents were increasing more rap
idly than those from other causes.
The committee predicted that “a
billion dollars worth of national
waste every year due to motor ve
hicle accidents will soon become a
reality unless something is done to
check the increase.
Since 1929 the increase in
fatalities due to motors has been 147
per cent, the report said. It noted
that “in sections of the country with
out drivers’ licensing systems the
traffic rate increased more than
twice as rapidly from 1920 to 1928
as- it did in areas with the licensing
systems.”
Last year’s high record of traffic
accidents meant that one person was
killed every sixteen minutes of every
day, while the number of fatalities
per year has now become 27.2 as
against sixteen in 1920.
The report advocated as a means
of reducing the accident rate that
safety education be emphasized in
schools; that official preparation and
promulgation of statistics relating to>
traffic accidents should be generally
adopted, and that police investiga
tions after accidents be more regu
larly undertaken.
