Official Organ of Cherokee County North Georgia Crihuhr JA REAL NEWSPAPERS FOR NORTHGEORGIA 8 PAGES TODAY VOL. VI No. 42 CANTON, GEORGIA FRIDAY, OCT. 20. 1939 PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY Think o’ That By TOM ARNOLD Mildred Seydell, who writes daily for the Atlanta Georgian and tra- vels a lot of the time, is hopeful that the Russians will not bother Finland. Which reminds me of a thought- ful postal card she sent late in the summer from the tip of the world where she was salmon fishing, in Santa Claus Land, which is on the maps as Lapland, just over and up from Finland. She reported having a great thrill uv in the artic circle. Making friends with those peo- ple who live in the land of ice and snow and reindeer must have been a thrill. And then she went to Fin- land, where she found a model go- vernment, 16 of the Parliament (Diet) women, and all doing a fine job, a happy people altogether. We agree, it would be too bad if Red Russia should take Finland.

Tha is the story of Paul Wil- banks, who recently opened a large new hardware store in Chattanoo- ga. Paul, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ezell Wilbanks, started his hard- ware venture in 1932, depression time, and prospered. A story in the Chattanooga Free Press tells of his recent expansion. The old store is now made into a feed, seed and fertilizer sales room, while the new one with 4,000 feet of sales space and 11,000 feet of storage, houses Chattanooga’s first one-stop hardware store. It sup- plies contractors with every build- ing need, in addition to its retail trade of sporting goods, farming tools, and smaller hardware of every description. Congratulations to Paul and his Red Bank Hardware Company. County tax books are open for the payment of 1939 taxes. Com- missioner Wright announced, pre- paratory to starting his tax rounds next Wednesday. Mr. Wright lists the dates he will visit the various communities this week, in a card in the Trib- une. He also has had printed some single cards which he will post at the various tax centers, so that all may know when he is making his rounds. Annual homecoming day will be observed at Shiloh Campground on Sunday, October 29. Basket din ners will be served. The public is Pepsters to Meet Scobs in Opening Game Tuesday invited to attend and bring filled baskets. well Bible School At Waleska Church The Rev. W. N. Pruitt will con duct a Bible school at the Wales ka Baptist Church, beginning Oc tober 23 and continuing through the 27th. Classes will begin each evening at 7 o'clock. Citizens Must Serve Government To Be Free, Asserts Hawkins Twin peppers, the hot variety, were brought to the Tribune this week by Willie Hawkins. They grow two full-sized peppers from one stem, a freak that Mr. Hawkins discovered accidentally in his gar- den. He has not yet decided whether each pepper is twice as hot as the other, which would be somewhat hotter than just plain hot. Incidentally, Mrs. Hawkins, alarmed at Ott Sherman’s big snake story, found one behind her kitchen woodbox. It wasn’t such a big snake, but it had lots of life. Mr. Hawkins was away. She cal- led neighbors who killed it and put it under a big box for safe keeping. The snake came to life, dug out of the box and crawled across the yard where it died a second time. Mrs. Hawkins says it is no use to keep the men at home because snakes will get them indoors or outdoors just the same. Long weeks of pretty weather, woods dry as tinder, and no fires yet in the woods, has encouraged Forest Ranger Reinhardt. It seems that people have a new re- gard for growing timber and have decided to protect it for the value it has rather than burn it just to see the fire and smoke. People have learned about boll weevils too. They used to think they had to burn the woods to be rid of that pest. One of the best farmers in the county said recently that he has learned the boll weevil will not grow anywhere except on cotton and a few ornamental shrubs. That view is supported by an nouncements from the department of agriculture. So that burning woods has no effects on the boll weevil at all, it would seem. He breeds and feeds only on the cot- ton and stays in the cotton field. If people fail to exercise the rights of freedom they have in America, how long will they be free ? This question was posed Tuesday at the regular Canton Rotary Club luncheon by Judge J. H. Hawkins, of the Blue Ridge Circuit Superior Court, in an address to the club. Judge Hawkins enumerated some of the rigths and responsibilities of American citizens and comment- ed on them. Of religious freedom he said that right has been denied 500 million people in the last decade. It re- mains a free privilege in America. Yet, he said, only 42 per cent of the people of America avail themselves of the privilege of be- longing to any church, and of those that do, only 40 per cent exercise the right of attending worship. The right to vote, freely guar- anteed in America, he said is rare- ly exercised by half those who qualify and unnumbered thousands never qualify, in order that they may have a voice in the selection I of their officers. The right to criticize freely is guaranteed in the free speech pro- visions of the American Constitu- tion. But Judge Hawkins re- minded his audience that the ma- jority who does not vote has little moral right to complain of election results. And he observed that the loudest critics are those who often do not vote and the loudest com- plainers against taxes often are those who pay the least in taxes. Courts are provided for the pro- tection of lives and property of citizens, but as a court official. Judge Hawkins said he has found that many of the best qualified cit- izens for jury service are the most glib with excuses. He pleaded for an active interest of good citizens in jury service, and for those citizens to forget the excuse of business pressure in seeking to avoid serving. "How would you like for your person or property to be passed in judgement by men who have noth- ing else to do except sit on jur- ies?" he inquired. Citizens in civil or criminal liti- gation are entitled to intelligent, upright jurors, and without them government cannot succeed, he said. He explained the fair meth- od of jury selection, so that no man serve more than his reason- able share. He appeared on a program pre- pared by Jasper Keith, who called upon Judge John S. Wood, to in- troduce the speaker. Atlanta has adopted an ordinance Continued on Page 8 Beautiful Lights County Election Mar 27 For Holidays To County LICCIOI IdT. £1 Be Canton Cheer A number of Canton merchants have signed an agreement to light the business section of Canton from Thanksgiving to New Years. Many towns have adopted the idea of lighting their business sec- tions through the holidays, and have found it profitable to make this gesture of beauty. Canton's residence section cus- tomarily has beautiful holiday lighting effects. The merchants hope that all their fellows will join in this movement, and that the res- idential lighting will be more pro- nounced than ever. "Scobs from the Southern Col- lege of Business of Marietta, will face the Holly Springs “Woco Pepsters" in the opening game of their season at the Holly Springs gymnasium Tuesday night. This game, the first for each team is expected to be close as the teams seem to be evenly matched. The "Woco Pepsters", however, will be slight favorites. The lineup will be: SCOBS Wheeler Holcombe Howard Poor Austin for the two teams F F. C G Is Fixed by Committee Maginot His Baby Miss A. Kennett, Cherokee Teacher Dies Here Friday Miss Alma Kennett, beloved teacher who had been connected with the schools of Canton and Cherokee county for more than forty years, died early Friday morning following an operation for appendicitis. Miss Kennett was born here and lived here throughout her entire lifetime. She was modest, unas- suming, always mindful of others, doing kindnesses and speaking speaking words of comfort. Her cheerful life radiated happiness. Miss Kennett still lives for "to live in hearts we leave behind is not to die". Her influence will live and bless the world. She leaves the earth brighter because of the influence of a pure and useful life. She is survived by two sisters, Miss Sarah Kennett of Canton, and Mrs. Oscar Thompson of Hol- ly Springs, two brothers, Walter and Oscar Kennett, both of Can- ton. Funeral services were held on Saturday morning at the home with the Rev. R. P. Etheridge, pas- tor of the Methodist Church offi- ciating. Interment was in River View Cemetery. To this humble poilu. Private Andre Maginst (pictured during the First World War) goes the credit for the Maginot Line, the French wall on the frontier with Germany. He con- ceived and designed the great line of fortifications which France be- lieves makes her invulnerable to land attack. Former Pastor To Speak Sunday At Methodist Church Henderson Named Chairman; Hosea Is Vice Chairman Cherokee county's Democratic Executive Committee set March 27 as county primary election date at its meeting Monday, after elect- ing A. J. Henderson Chairman to succeed C. H. Peacock, resigned. Judge G. C. Hosea was elected vice chairman, the new office hav- ing been filled for the first time, S. R. Dawson continues as secre- tary and treasurer. Candidates for county office must qualify not later than Jan. 3, to be eligible to offer for the county pri- mary race, the committee decided. Qualification must be made by 12, Noon, Jan. 3, and the intent to offer must be filed in writing and accompanied by a fee of $75. The committee instructed Secre- tary Sam Dawson to notify the state committee that the county cannot hold the state primary in September without financial help from the state committee. Heretofore the state committee has used part of the fees paid by state candidates to pay the expense of the state primary. For the last four years, however, the state com- mittee has retained practically all the state candidates' fees. That has bankrupt the county committees. That was why it was necessary to increase the assess- ments for the county primary, ac- cording to statements at the county committee meeting.

They’re the object of a gum-shoe investigation that promises to re- duce this form of violation and force visiting nimrods to lay the required $12.50 on the line for the game they get in Georgia. "This unfair practice has been going on for years," Ralph Corn- well, Chief of the S-Men, admit ted. "But until recently we have been unable to work out a plan to cope with it.” Cornwell said that close check ing would curtail the practice and he further explained that several cases already have been filed a- gainst visiting nimrods who had "crossed over" from adjoining states. Some of these hunters have been taking their limit of deer and tur- key, shipping them out, and then moving on to get another pair of these closely protected animals and birds. The Biological Survey is assist- ing in the investigation. It is esti- mated that scores of hunters have taken game in this manner in the past and every precaution is being taken to cut it to a minimum. Mrs. Guy Darnell, of Bremen, formerly of Canton, is recupera- ting at Coker Hospital from a re- cent attack of influence. She was admitted to the hospital last Fri day. record for big sweet potatoes this year, having brought one to the Tribune this week that weighed eight pounds. Mr. Weatherby, bringing some potatoes to pay for his subscrip- tion, filled a bushel basket with only 14 potatoes. RAMBLIN’ ’ROUND BY J. B. PARHAM Few days ago we decided to thin out our turnips and pulled out some of the little, skimpy ones. We hated to throw them away, and the thought entered our mind, we don’t know how, that Dr. Coving- ton might like to have this rough- ness. So we gave him two of these little turnips with the tops on. Wednesday morning Mrs. Coving- ton called us and said she had a funny experience one morning. She went out into the yard and there growing were two big trees. Thought we were through ordering when we were reaching again for the pencil and paper. There was Johnson’s Wax with no rubbing When the supply of paper was ex- hausted we resorted to the cuff. Written on the sleeves we have Pepsodent tooth paste, and them Tum Tums, for the stomach. They equalize and acidize the stomach after each meal. Three big boxes for only a quarter. Speaks for Himself Lands Visiting Four States On Motor Tour This Week Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Land, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Land, and son, Austin, The club presented roses to W. are spending this week in North W. Fincher, recognizing his birth- Carolina, South Carolina, Kentuc- day. ky and Virginia. Relatives and friends gathered Sunday at the home of the Rev. and Mrs. Sam Grimes for a reun- ion. The guest of honor was Mrs Ethel Taylor of Sayre, Okla, daugh ter of the Rev. and Mrs. Grimes, who is visiting her parents on her first trip to Georgia in over 15 years. Those who attended the reunion were: Mr. John Ghorley, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Ghorley, Mrs. Annie Marshall, Frank Ghorley, Mr. and Mrs. Ed- gar Waters, Vera Love, Faye and Bobbie Jean Waters, Mr. Glenn Grimes, Mr. and Mrs. Clar- ence Wheeler, Carolyn and Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. Grimes; Dean and Betty Grimes, Troy Otto Mr. It developed that Dr. Covington had stood the two turnips up against the garage and they had taken on new life and root and were growing nicely and promised to replace the shade of the giant oak that was blown down by a re- cent storm. But Mrs. Covington admitted that they managed to blast one of them from its moor- ings and had been eating on it for a week. She is undecided just what disposition to make of the other one. Probably they will ship it to the Belgians. Oh, yes, we must get a box of Energeme to take the grease spots out of our only suit. We really fell in love with that Sissy Tom who sells Peacock face cream. He’s a knockout. We must have an ac- cident insurance policy that pays up to $150 a month, on the slight- est provocation. There’s a poke of Postum that will allow Mor- pheus to grasp you in his embrace and you know nothing for 12 hours.

County Hunting License No Longer Can Be Used As Down Payment Talking turkey, Miles Standish, 69, direct descendant of the famous soldier of Massachusetts colony, spoke out against President Roose- velt’s proposal to move Thanksgiv ing Day from Nov. 30 to Nov. 23. John Bishop has proved his met- tlefor graowing turnips.He brought us a sample of his crop which were as big as Charley Jackson’s 1938 water melons. In fact, this has been a great fall for turnips. Every vehicle that comes by is loaded with turnips and greens. Then there’s that tooth paste that contains Eriam. If it aint got Eriam it aint got nothing • worth while, and this big offer is only on for a short time—probably 10 years. Dr. LeGear’s poultry med- icine might be ok, so we’ll take a box of that. We may have to go to Dr. Brinkley’s hospital in Del Rio, Texas, soon. We have the symptoms. And don’t forget that smile of beauty and the smile of health. Nothing but Ipana and Sal- hepatica has it. Last evening we settled down to the radio thinking we would listen to some music and find out what was new in the world. After a bit we retch for a pencil and paper to make a note to get a tube of giant size of that good Molay shaving cream. That over with we settled back down when we were making notes again. Just had to have a bottle of Peruna to ward off them colds and get one of them world maps that the Carter family is giving away out in Del Rio, Texes. Jack Lindsey and the Rambler are threatening to go to Press Davenport’s and buy five pounds each of ginseng and buchu bark and go on the air. All we lack is the price of the roots and some de- scriptive adjectives. But we had a great evening listening to the ra- dio. When the Ovaltine program came on we fell asleep right in the living room and didn’t wake up until next morning when the energizing and vitalizing yeast program came on. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 21.— A county license cannot be exchang- ed for a state hunting license, the State Division of Wild Life an- nounced today. The old practice of turning in a county license as part payment for a state license has run its course. Many hunters hithero have done this, being alowed to exchange his dollar upon payment of the $2.35 difference. From now on out persons buying county licenses will be required to pay separate state licenses should they hunt outside the county of their residence. The State Revenue Commission is handling collection of fees and distribution of licenses, it was pointed out. Son Is Born October 5 To Mr., Mrs. John Robinson Mr. and Mrs. John Robinson, of Winder, announce the birth of a son, on October 5, at the Emory University Hospital. Mrs. Robin- son is the former Miss Cora Couch of Canton.
