THE BLAKELY
BAPTIST CHURCH
SPENCER B. KING, Pastor
Five Sundays in August, and these
‘Fifth Sundays’ call for marking
time in our Auxiliary meetings—no
W. M. S. or other meetings next
week. Then comes September, with
its renewal all along the line. Our
BULLETIN will begin a new volume
and all departments of our church
life will get busy with the hot sum
mer and vacations past.
For Sunday morning the pastor
speaks on “A Bugle Call,” and at
the evening hour, “A Dauntless
Faith.” How about walking to
church and enjoying three hours of
fellowship with God as we worship
him in Sunday School and in the
morning and evening preaching
hours? You will not regret it—■
the poet was right:
“A Sabbath well spent brings a
week of content
And strength for the toils of the
morrow;
A Sabbath profaned, whate’er be
gained,
Is a sure forerunner of sorrow.’
Our engagements, then, are: Sun
day School at 10:45; preaching at
12:00 noon; Training Union at 7:30;
preaching at 8:30. Monday night,
8:30, the Deacons meet in regular
session; Wednesday at 8:30 the mid
week Prayer Meeting—all ar, the
church.

Ed Bruner in Jail
On Charge Shooting
His Former Wife
A Blakely woman is in a Cuthbert
hospital in a serious condition and
her former husband is lodged in the
county jail as the result of a shooting
affray here early Tuesday night. .
Ed Bruner, a former Early coun
tian, is charged with shooting Miss
Inez Carter at her home on the Da
mascus road about 10:30 o’clock
Tuesday night. Deputy Sheriff C.
C. Swann, who arrested Bruner
shortly after the shooting, said that
a witness to the shooting said that
Bruner entered the home of Miss
Carter and shot her three times. As
to what caused the shooting, no one
kn e w.
Three bullets struck Miss Carter,
one in the abdomen, another in the
left shoulder, and the other in the
left leg. She was carried to a Cuth
bert hospital where her condition
was pronounced serious.
Miss Carter was divorced from
Bruner at the July term of Early
superior court. Deputy Swann ar
rested Bruner as he stopped to talk
to a friend on Church street short
ly after the shooting. The only
winess to the shooting, Deputy Swann
said, was the mother of Miss Carter,
who makes her home with her daugh
ter. With Bruner at the time of
the shooting was a young man who
gave his name as “Mister” Butler.
He is said to have stated that he
was sitting in Bruner’s car pnd did
not see the actual shooting. No
charges were filed against Butler and
he was released after questioning,
Deputy Swann said.

LARGE INCREASE
SHOWN IN USE OF
V-MAIL SERVICE
The Post Office Department an
nounced today that the V-Mail Serv
ice, inaugurated on June 15, 1942,
is now past the experimental stage,
with each week showing large in
creases in the number of letters
mailed to American soldiers overseas.
The Postoffice Department has in
creased its facilities to handle
promptly the volume expected in the
future, J. Emory Hooston, Blakely
postmaster, announced yesterday.
The War, Navy and Post Office De
partments all cooperated in develop
ing this service, largely with a view
to decreasing the volume of mail to
be carried overseas and providing
an expeditious service. The public
is urged to use it at every oppor
tunity.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
WASHINGTON
bAw
Washinfton, D. C. (NWNS) —Po-
litical “experts” who believed that
the charge of pre-war isolationism
would be a death-blow to any candi
date for political office, are still puz
zling over the success of isolationist
candidates, such as Hamilton Fish of
New York and John M. Vroys, of
Ohio, in the recent primary elec
tions.
Explanations have been running
thick and fast, but there is no doubt
that the anti-New Dealers are elated
by these victories and the New Deal
ers are plainly worried.
The anti-New Dealers are pleased
because they see these results as
clear evidence that the voters, in
spite of their support of the war
programs, are not going to vote ac
cording to advice from Washington.
The New Dealers, on the other
hand, are disturbed on two counts:
(1) That they may not get the ma
jority they anticipated in the com
ing elecion, and (2) that the sup
port of pre-war isolationists indi
cates that a lot of people are not
yet properly aroused by the war
program.
Pre-war isolationism, which was
expected to be one of the chief bat
tling points in the election, is now
likely to be side-tracked for the more
timely subject of the way present
congressmen voted on recent war
measures.
There is little doubt that there
will be considerable re-shuffling of
seats in congress in November and
the congressmen, now on unofficial
recess, are busily engaged in their
home districts in checking up on lo
cal sentiment.
Congress still continues to hold
sessions in spite of the fact that
the great majority of members are
away, and the house even voted on a
controversial measure recently with

■ ’ In this dark hour of our
national existence, when
our tradition, our freedom
and our very lives and homes are
being assaulted by a vicious and
deadly enemy, it is time for the
people of our State and our Na
tion to return to the simple faith
of our childhood.
At our mother's knee and in the
little country churches we were
taught that there is a God who
watches over the destinies of
mankind. Though our faith may
be sorely tried and our hearts
troubled, we were taught to cling
to that elemental truth.
We know that the Democratic
form of Government is the finest
the mind of man has ever devised.
We know that right will triumph,
evil will be uprooted and the
truth prevail, and that the truth
will set us free.
GEORGIA'S NEXT GOVERNOR
BUY WAR SAVING STAMPS AND BONDS"
perhaps the smallest group present
which has ever voted on any meas
ure. The vote was on a bill to give
immediate financial aid to the de
pendents of men in the armed serv
ices instead of waiting until Novem
ber, as provided by the present
law. Only 28 of the 430 members
of the house were present and they
voted for it unanimously and sent
the measure to- the senate.
A major shake-up in the press
sections of government departments
has now been started, following an
order issued several weeks ago by
Elmer Davis, new head of the Office
of War Information, that- all un
necessary public relations work
should be discontinued. The first
department to act was the war de
partment, which lias one of the
most unwieldy press set-ups of all.
Following an order by Secretary of
War Stimson, 75 per cent of the
approximately 100 war department
press sections are being eliminated.
Although the secretary did not
admit it, it is generally believed that
the plan .to reorganize the press
section of the army was rushed
through following the “hoax” story,
officially released by the army de
partment, about markers in fields
and woods prepared to aid enemy
aviators in reaching war factories.
Investigation showed these markers
were found last spring, had been
investigated and found to have
nothing to do with enemy plans. Be
fore the truth was discovered, how
ever, pictures and a story released
by one of the army offices was car
ried in newspapers throughout the
country. Immediately the newspa
pers asked that action be taken to
prevent the release of anything but
truthful and reliable information by
the army. The newspapers have
had a very difficult time getting
news from the army, which they are
willing to accept as a war-time ne
cessity, but this faqt made them
doubly annoyed when they found
that the first “good story” released
in some time was a hoax.
Increased pressure for a high
(sales tax, as the easiest means of
(raising the billions in taxes desired
by Secretary Morgenthau, is being
brought on the senate finance com
mittee. A spokesman for the United
States Chamber of Commerce rec
ommended a 10 per cent sales tax
and he was followed by J. Cheever
Cowdin, chairman _of the finance
committee of the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers, ' who recom
mended an .8 per cent sales tax as a
means of collecting $4,800,000,000
in taxes.
The committee is known to be
giving the subject of a sales tax se
rious consideration and is also con
sidering tax exemptions to a figure
lower than those approved by the
house. But it is still the general
opinion here that in spite of all of
the means of increasing taxation
which are being considered, the sen
ate committee is not apt to recom
mend new taxes above those ap
proved by the house until after the
election. The tax. bill is due to go
to the senate early in September, but
whether it will actually be voted on
before election is still doubtful.
POSTOFFICE TO OPEN

J. H. SMITHWICK
OF COLQUITT COUNTY
ANNOUNCES FOR CONGRESS
I
In making this announcement for a seat in the next Congress
I do so in the deep conviction that the next and immediately suc
ceeding Congresses will play the greater part in the determina
tion of the destinies of this nation, if not the whole world.
Not since the morning of time have the peoples been so per
plexed, worried and distressed, and rightly so. Now of all times
is not the time to play cheap politics. I am making this race
because it is my firm conviction that the people of this Congress
ional District need and want a change in their Congressman.
I have no illusions as to the responsibility my election to this
high and important office will impose upon me. I shall do noth
ing to retard the war effort but will do' everything that lies
within my power to be of some help in bringing this horrible
catastrophe to a successful conclusion. As long as the war is on
I will be loyal to our Commander-in-i Chief both on and off the
record.
I make no promises unless I know they can be fulfilled.
In the matter of recommendations for local appointments the
merit system will prevail in order that the people interested may
have the best possible service.
I solicit the votes of all fair-minded people of the district
and promise that if elected I will use all my time, all my energy
and whatever ability I may possess in trying to make a fair,
faithful and efficient Congressman for all the people and at no
time, under no circumstances wHI I play cheap, tricky politics to
perpetuate myself in office.
From now until the date of the Primary I expect to make an
intensive campaign, but on account of shortage in tires and gas
oline I know that I will not be able to meet all the voters in per
son. I WISH I COULD.
But if you will give me your vote on election day I want to
assure you here and now that your vote will not be wasted this
time.
Very sincerely,
J. H. SMITHWICK.
