The Federal Farm Board realizes
the serious situation of the southern
cotton farmer and is anxious to do all
that it can to help. For the last sev
eral days conferences have been held
between the Board and the officials

Very truly yours,

ident and .general manager of the
American Cotton Cooperative Asso
ciation :
| “Realizing the deplorable condition
of the cotton farmer in the South be- I
■ cause of the present low level of
.prices and with and through the as
sistance of the Federal Farm Board,
the American Cotton Cooperative
Association has arranged today to ad
vance to the various state cotton as-,
sociations for the benefit of their
members approximately 90 per cent
of the value of the cotton where 10-,
■eated. As the market advances or
: declines the advance will be adjust- 1
j ed. Both the Federal Farm Board
land the management of the American
Cotton Cooperative Association feel
that it is unwise to make a fixed ad- ‘
vance on cotton regardless of market
prices. It is now believed that on the
nrosent level of prices the amount
which can ripw be advanced to south-
I ern farmers on delivery of their cot
ton will enable a majority of them to
। tal^e advantage of cooperative mar-,
keting and in that way receive the ;
I benefit of any future advance in
.price.”

t
* P. H. McGowan, The Macon Tele
graph’s Washington correspondent,
sends that paper the following inter
esting political news:
| WASHINGTON, D. C.—Some in
teresting data is furnished by the
Congressional Directory as to what
house committee places Georgia will
lose in Congress when her represen
tation is reduced from twelve to ten,
after the expiration of the congress
, which will be elected in November.
‘ While no one here yet knows what
he Georgia legislature will do when
|it comes to the task of making ten
districts out of twelve, however, a
resume of what the state is likely to
lose in influence and power when two
of her members are legislated out
may be seen by the following com
mittee assignments which are in ef
jfect at the present time.
First district, C. G. Edwards —
' Rivers and Harbors, one of the most
important of all assignments. .
Second district. Eugene Cox—|
Flood control. Without this, many
sections of the South would be seri
ously crippled.
Third district—Charles R. Crisp—
Ways and Means. Without the bal
ancing power of the Democrats on
this committee Republicans would
nrobably make tariff rates even
higher than they are now and enact
other forms of taxation hurtful to
the South.
Fourth district. Wm. C. WrighU-
Another important position—Appro
priations. ।
Fifth district—Robert Ramspeck.
Sixth district, Sam’l Rutherford —
Census. Election of President, Vice
President and Representatives in
Congress: Immigration and Natural
ization; Pensions. At this time the
country is demanding a more rigid
enactment of legislation that will

LEGISLATOR BACKS
TALMADGE’S RACE
J. B. DANIEL PRAISES WORK OF (
COMMISSIONER. SAYS BROWN
TRYING TO GET OFFICE BY DE
CEIVING PEOPLE.
Eugene Talmadge, candidate for
re-election as Commissioner of Agri
culture, has received a letter from |
J. B. Daniel, former representative
of Troup county in the legislature,
espousing the cause of Commissioner
Talmadge in his campaign against J.
J. Brown, former Commissioner of
Agriculture. The letter was as fol
lows: ।
“J. J. Brown is up to the same old 1
trick trying to obtain office by de- I
reiving the people as to facts.
“The same crowd of hotel loung
ers and street corner warmers who
held office under Brown, arc circulat
ing a fake statement from the audi- !
tor’s report to prove greater ineffici- 1
ency under Talmadge than under
Brown.
“Mr. Brown chooses the years 1926
and 1929 for comparison. Let’s see
what the reports of the auditor do
: show. The audits show that Mr.
| Brown expended $487,740.37 in 1926
that Talmadge expended $445,838.54
'I in 1929, or a saving of $41,901.83
i in gross expenditures.
i “In 1926 Brown spent out of the
- fertilizer fund $88,040.81 and took
5,200 samples of fertilizer, represent-
i ing a eost of $17.60 for each sample
I of fertilizer drawn and analyzed. In
i 1929, Talmadge used out of the fer
: |tilizer fund $123,532.18, and took 16,-
1 1800 samples of fertilizer, represent
ing a cost of $7.32 for each sample j
-of fertilizer drawn, analyzed and re
■ ported. At the same time, Talmadge
l ’has published bulletins (giving the
names aild addresses of persons en-
• titled to rebate^ o^ fertilizer found to
; be under the guarantee. And thous
-1 ands of dollars have been refunded to
■ the farmers of th state on fertilizers.
! I The fertilizer bulletin issued by Mr.
^.Brown for 1926 does not indicate that
Many one in the state of Georgia w&S
• I entitled to a rebate on fertilizer found
- under guarantee.
t “All members of the legislature re
- member when in 1925 Mr. Brown, as
t Commissioner of Agriculture, appear
- ed before the legislative committee to
» defeat a bill introduced by Tom
- Linder, of Jeff Davis County, to pro
- vide adequate protection to the
Maimers of Georgia in buying ferti-
- *hz-er.
“Every member of legislature
k knows how Eugene Talmadge, t as
g Commissioner of Agriculture, stood
I with his back to the wall fighting
I unt l an adequate bill was passed.
| “The auditor’s reports show that fn
111926 Mr. Brown paid for automobiles
I $10,978. In 1929 Talmadge paid for
I automobiles $3,125, a difference of
I $7,853.
I “The auditor’s reports show that in
I 1929, by act of the legislature, Tal-
I madge expended for fruit inspection
I $24,318.09 and for tuberculosis erad-
I ication in cattle $14,028.82, neither
I of which activities Mr. Brown was
I required to pennorm in 1926.
; “I remember how, during the cam-
I naign of 1926, Mr. Brown said that
I if he was defeated he would appoint
I inspectors to serve under his succes-
I sor. I also remember that Mr. Brown
I did appoint inspectors to serve under
I Talmadge, knowing in advance that
I they would be antagonistic to Tal-
I madge’s administration, and Tal-
I madge, when he went into office, fir-
I ed them, which he should have done.
I Ever since they have been busy suing
I the state, trying to get pay for work
I Hiey did not, do. Finally, when they
I found out they could not get the pay
' out of the state they began harass-
ing Talmadge bv suing him person-
I ally and his bondsmen. They are do
ing th's now. I imagine, too, that
these fellows are busy strewing liter- ।
ature for Mr. Brown.
“The people of Georgia have not
forgotten how Mr. Brown used the
‘oil boys’ to perpetuate himself in of
keen out of America much unskilled
labor, including peons from Mexico |
working on cotton crops in the south
western states.

fice, and .it is now apparent, even to I
the most casual observer, that the
same old gang are the ones who are
now circulating the literature of J.
J. Brown. The auditor’s report of
1926 shows that Mr. Brown expend
ed for the Bureau of Markets SI,OOO
more than his appropriation.
I “The acts of the general assembly
of 1927, pages Nos.’ 13 and 14, show
that Mr. Brown left unpaid bills
amounting to $6,900 against the Bu
reau of Markets, while it is a fact of
general knowledge that Mr. Brown
suspended publication of the Market
Bulletin because he had no funds to
print it.
) “As a member of the general as
sembly during the time when both
Mr. Brown and Talmadge have held
office. I have observed the workings
of the department under Mr. Brown’s
administration and under Mr. Tal
madge’s, and the increased interest .
| and efficiency under Talmadge is ob
vious.
| “Also, it is a fact that since Tal
lmadge became Commissioner of Ag
riculture the legislature has been
free of undue influence by the de
partment.
“I remember under Mr. Brown’s
administration no bill could be passed .
.without interference on the part of
Mr. Brown and his employees.
“In closing, I wish to say this for
Gene Talmadge: He is a hard worker.
He does what he believes is right.
Os course he makes errors. Any man
who is trying to do something majcesl
‘hem. but in the main that boy’s
heart is with thr down-trodden farm
ers of Georgia and he lets the peo
ple know it on all occasions.”

WORK IN NEW BUILDING.
EIGHT TRUCKS BRING STU
DENTS FROM OVER COUNTY.
The public schools of Monroe coun
ty opened Monday and the work is
making good progress. There are
fewer white schools in the county on
account of a number of consolida
tions, but the attendance at each
school and the corps of teachers is
very satisfactory and it is believed
that the cause of education has, been
advanced by the consolidation.
The Forsyth school had no formal
exercises at the opening on account
of the seats not having been installed
in the auditorium. The pupils of
the grammar and high schools met at
their respective schools ami this week
as been given over mainly to the
work of organization and the holding
of such examinations as were neces
sary.
The Forsyth grammar and high
schools already have an enrollment
of around 600 pupils on account of
other schools being consolidated in
.whole or in part with the Forsytn
schools The Brent, Collier, Rogers,
