BOARD MEMBER IS
INELIGIBLE TO BE
SUPERINTENDENT
A member of the county board of
education is not eligible to seek elec
tion to the office of county school su
perintendent, Attorney General Eu
gene Cook has held in an unofficial
opinion issued to J. R. Freeman of
Lincolnton,
However, Mr. Cook pointed out,
there is nothing in the law to prevent
a person who resigns his membership
on a county board of education from
offering as a candidate for the super
intendent's "post provided he meets
the qualification for that office as set
out in the Georgia Code.
The Attorney General based his rul
ing upon the Georgia law which pro
hibits any citizen from holding more
than one county office at the same
time. He said it “is clear” that mem
bership on a county board of educa
tion and the office of county school
superintendent “are both county of
fices.”

IS GEORGIA STILL
THE PEACH STATE?
Is Georgia still the Peach State?
The U. S. Department of Commerce
is waiting for the 1954 Census of Ag
riculture in South Carolina before it
will say.
But one thing is certain., There has
been a tremendous decrease in the
number of peach trees in Georgia since
1950,
The Commerce Department reports
the number has dropped from 5,335,-
666 to 3,645246 last year, or \ some
1,690,420, .
Although the final figures on the
number of South Carolina peach trees
have not been reported, incomplete
figures indicate the number there also
is rapidly falling.
In Spartanburg county, one of the
major peach-producing counties, the
number dropped from 2,545,671 in 1950
to 1,904,492 in 1954,
