The Georgia gubernatorial election is overl It was a long
drawn-out one, therefore most people rejoice in its ending.
Never in my years of politics have I seen an election quite
like it. Others that remember elections many years ago thorough
ly agree.
There was mud-slinging from the beginning my both major
candidates and their supporters. Itwasadirty, filthy race, and one
that no Georgian should be proud to relate. Every issue was cover
ed and even more
Actually, Georgians never learned the true facts about the two
candidates. Who was really the best qualified, and which one could
really govern our state best in the four years ahead? No, this
election Georgians did not have an opportunity to learn the candi
date’s qualifications. The many untruths mixed with the few4acts
detracted people from learning the qualifications of the candidates.
Let’s go back and see what Georgians have been told since this
hot campaign began several months ago. Did Mills B. Lane fi
nance Carl Sanders' campaign? Was the NAACP and the entire
negroid race supporting Sanders? Did Marvin Griffin and Peter
Zack Geer pay Carl Sanders to run for governor when Garland
Byrd was still in the running?
Did Carl Sanders pay Garland Byrd to leave the race and did
Byrd really suffer a heart attack? Did the Ku Klux Klan support
Marvin Griffin? Was Marvin Griffin and his friends responsible
for the racial disturbances in the state? Would Griffin's wife
divorce him when the election was over?
Other than state headlines what was going on in our county of
Taylor. Sanders’ supporters told that Garland Byrd was to vote
Sanders, and on the other hand, Griffins’s supporters told that
Byrd was pulling for Griffin.
Sanders' supporters said Herman Talmadge was to cast his vote
for Sanders, Griffin supporters said Griffin would get his vote.
There was other strong talk from both sides by local people. What
was so disheartening was that this ugly talk was about our own local
people and their welfare.
Of all of these strong statements, we in Taylor County do know
that.Garland Byrd did suffer a heart attack, and that he did remain
neutral in the governor’s election.
Yes, it was a bad sumer in the state of Georgia. The gover
nor’s election of 1962 combined with the severe racial problems
lowered the standards of our state.
At the time this article goes to press 1 will not know who is
the next governor of Georgia. There would have to be mixed
emotions in the minds of many Georgians as they enter the polls
on Election Day. They know not what to believe because they have
heard too much, What is believed will determine the next gover
nor Georgia.
It is my hope that the Georgia Governor’s Election of 1962
will never reach our history books. 1 believe our children are too
honest and decent to be remined of the evilly conducted campaign
of 1962.

the Coach and the Principal are
also teaching classes.
Mrs. Avera chose this time
to tell Mr. Marchman the pa
rents appreciate his efforts and
the efforts of all the teachers
in trying to do the best job
possible in the circumstances.
Mr. Marchman continued by
saying “although there are a
number of individual cases
where the school is lacking,
since this school year is un
derway we should concentrate
on something for next year when
the situation will be even more
critical.” Directly asked what
he thought should be done about
the situation, Mr. Marchman
replied he thought this a ques
tion the Board or Mr. Elliston
should answer but he feels that
if the county continues to oper
ate two white schools each one
will need 3 more teachers next
year to provide even a mini
mum program.
At this point Mr. C. E. What
ley, Board Member from Reyn
olds District, said there had
been no complaints about the
Reynolds school. Also, that
in order to hire extra teachers
'the county was going to have to
have more money. The best
way to do this to re-evalu
ate our property for tax pur
poses. Several of the Board
Members agreed it was their
understanding the County Com
missioners had asked for bids
to have this re-evaluation done
but all the bids received to
date had been too high.
Mr. Marchman went on to say
that a school should not be
judged by the quality of the
graduates it produces. The col
lege-material student will get
by but the hundreds of students
will not or cannot go to college
are suffering for want of an
adequate high school education.
Possibly the new trade school
in Thomaston will be a relief
in this respect.
Giving his considered opinion
as a trained, professional edu
cator Mr. Marchman stated that
the people of Taylor County
have two choices if they wish
to correct the present educa
tional problem, i. e., (1) Either
have a property re-evaluation to
raise taxes in order to provide
the money for 5 or 6 extra
teachers or (2) Realistically
face the merits of combining the
two existing white schools.
After assuring the delegation
Butler High Scholl is still on
the accredited list, Mr. March-
man excused himself.
Mr. Elliston then rose to say
that he realized the county need
ed extra teachers more than
anything else. However, only
so much money is allowed for
school purposes and this has to
go for many more things than
teacher’s salaries alone.
As a matter of fact, Taylor
County has not paid 100% of any
teacher’s salary for last two
school terms. At present the
State of Georgia supplies a
teacher’s pay based on an al
lotment of one teacher for each
21 students in high school and
eac h 26 students in elementary
school.
Mr. Elliston distributed mi
meographed sheets to the de
legation shwoing the allotment
of 42 teachers to the two white
schools of Butler and Reynolds
for the year, 1961-62.
Mr. Harold Gates, Board
Member from Potterville Dis
trict, took the floor to speak
for the Board. “They all
realize something has to be done
to get more money. The Board
has all the state or anyone^
else will allow them and they
do not have enough to provide
any more teachers at the pre
sent time."
The delegation then wanted
to present a petition signed by
all the mothers and fathers
along a certain school bus route
asking that the route not be
changed. However, the petition
had not been given to the Board
Member who was to present it.
Also, the delegation went on
record as expressing concern
because the Board had lowered
the age limit for admittingchild-
ren to the First Grade thereby
working an addition hardship on
over - worked teachers. We
were told the County Board took
this action because the State
Board of Education did so.
The delegation did not get to
present all their complaints
because of the lateness of the
hour. However, we most cer
tainly appreciate the courtesy
extended by our Board of Edu
cation and County School Super
intendent in listening to us.
And to them and Mr. March-
man and Mr. Huling and all the
teachers of Butler High and Ele
mentary School for your efforts
in behalf of our children, a big
“THANK YOU".

RYE IN ROTATION WITH
PEANUTS
Priliminary research and
grower experience indicates
Rye may help to reduce certain
diseases of peanuts, thereby
improving yield and quality.
Peanut growers, particularly
those planting peanuts on the
same land more often than one
year out of three, should con
sider using more Rye for graz
ing preceding peanuts on land
that can ,be grazed. Rye vari
eties such as Elbon, Explorer,
Florida Black, GatorandWrens
Abruzsi that will produce good
forage yields in the Georgia
peanut belt are recommended.
' Land preparation for Rye
preceding peanuts should be
given Special consideration. If
Rye land is prepared by turning
in the fall, undecomposed crop
residue may be turned back to
the soil surface the following
spring. This practice will pro
vide a source of food for cer
tain soil orgainsms and may in
crease the incidence of “White
Mold" in the following peanut
crop. Therefore, it is recom
mended that land preparation
for Rye preceding peanuts be
accomplished by shallow dis-
kings rather than by turning
with a bottom plow.
Peanut yield and quality im
provement following Rye is not
generally sufficient to cover
the cost of planting, fertilizing
and seeding the Rye. There
fore, Rye preceding peanuts
should be utilized by grazing if
possible.
A substantial amount of Rye
growth may accumulate late
in the grazing season. Where
this is the case, it is recom
mended that the excess growth
be mowed at least one week
prior to preparing the land for
peanuts. Turning under large
amounts of green, succulent
crop residue causes a rapid
release of certain organic by
products which may be toxic or
cause damage to the peanut
root system. Allow at least
3 to 4 weeks after turning un
der Rye before planting pea
nuts.

Stay stitching is the answer
to the problem of garments
stretching out of shape from all
the handling it gets while sew
ing.
It is a machine stitching used
on any place where the garment
is not cut on the straight as
the neckline, the armholes, the
hip line on a straight skirt
and the waistline.
When stay stitching stitch in
the direction your fabric
stretches least. This means
to stitch a neckline from shoul
der to the center of the neck,
then from the other shoulder
to the center of the neck. In
the skirt you stitch from the hem
line to the waist.
Stay stitch the single layers
of the garment before you put
in darts about 1/4 inch into the
seam allowance from the seam
line. It should be done with from
10 to 12 stitches per inch.
Stay stitching does not finish
the seams, that's not its pur
pose.
Another helpful kind of stitch
ing sometimes confused with
stay stitching is under stitching.
Under stitching holds facings
so that tljey roll to the under
side of the garment. It is used
on neck facings, armhole
facings, collar, etc.
After stitching facing to gar
ment and seams are graded and
clipped, then turn seam to
facing, stitch the seam al
lowance and the facing together,
about 1/16 of an inch from the
seam. When stitching, stitch
with the facing side up, being
careful not to catch the garment.
TAYLOR COUNTY GOG
CHOLERA COMMITTEE TO
PREPARE FOR ERADICATION
A committee has been formed
to help promote the Hog Chol
era Eradication Program in
Taylor County. In order for
Faylor County to take part in
the State and Federal Program,
at least 60% of the hogs must
be vaccinated against hog chol
era. After this has been com
pleted and reported, any out
break which occurs and is di
agnosed as hog cholera by as
signed veterinarians, then the
next step will be the Indemnity
Payment.
As a condition for the pay
ment of indemnity in herds in
counties designated as eradica
tion areas, and after receipt of
the notice as previously re
quired and an official dagnosis
of cholera, idemnity will be paid
for all hogs which die or which
are destroyed because of being
infected with, or exposed to,
the desease; provided, however,
that indemnity for hogs which

completed an irrigation pond
dam or their farm in Crowell
Community. Cost sharing
through local A C P Program
was received on this project.
Robert Wilson has completed
8155 ft. of terraces and one
waterway. Assistance was also
received trough local ACP Pro
gram on this. Practically all
terraces were parallel and land
leveler was used in land pre
paration and cutting of water

PUT UNUSED DOORS TO GOOD

A doorway that is seldom, if
ever, used can easily be made
into book storage, suggests
Miss Ava Rodgers, Extension
home furnishings and art
specialist. Most doorways are
just about the right dept for a
book. It is already recessed,
and needs only the addition of
shelves. To make it a center
of interest in the room, paint
the back an accent color or
use an unusual paper on it,
she suggests.

Cleaning
It is now time for the fall
cleaning of Bethel Primitive
Baptist Church cemetery. Any
one desiring to help with this
worthy cause is either request
ed to go and clean your lot,
carry your tools or send do
nation to Mrs. W. A. Payne or
Mrs. H. E. Childres.
Mr. H. A. Sealy, Cha:
of the Taylor ASC CountyCom-
mittee, calls attention to the
fact that the time for request
ing ACP cost-shares for prac
tices to be carried out this fall
expires next Monday, Sep
tember 17. The Committee re
opened the program for receiv
ing requests during the period
August 15 - September 15 but
since the expiration date is on
Saturday requests may be filed
through Monday.
The popular practices that
are carried out in the fall are
seeding small grains and
legumes, liming farmland, and
planting forest trees. Fall is
also a good time to construct
terraces and farm pond dams.
The cost-share rate on these
practices is based on fifty per
cent of the average cost of the
seed, fertilizer, and lime. Lime
may be considered a component
and a legume in the small grain
will qualify the lime.
Mr. Sealy states that the
purpose of the Agricultural
conservation Program is to en
courage the installation of
needed conservation practices.
The persent ACP allocation is
insufficient to allow approval on
all extents requested, but the
Committee will make every
effort to approve extents on an
equitable basis.
Requests filed after Sep
tember 17 can be considered if
funds remain in the ACP al
location for the county.
