I TALMADGE ATTACKS I ATLANTA - (® — Governor Eugene Talmadge told a group nifl Clayton county farmers today he would get them out of the “grip” of the federal government next year if they could ‘grin and bear it” until after the 1936 national elec tion. ! With G. C. Berry as their spokes- | man, the farmers vigited Talmadge in his executive suite at the capi-‘ tol, asking advice. Berry said they were all on fed eral rehabilitation farms near Jon eshoro, Ga., that the governmenti was “taking everything we canl make, selling it and leaving us with | nothing.” s dials Talmadge literally snorted: MThis AAA ig the worst proposi tion known to the history of the United States, and we're going to |} get vou out of its grip.” . Continuing a description of their conditions, Berry said that 102 re~| ‘habilitated farmers in Clayton county had no clothes, their chil dren had no school books and that they were in a “desperate plight.”| Berry asked this question: I “Governor, what can we do? Tell! us and we will do It.” ! Besides Berry others in the dele-| gation included E. D. Hand, Barney Betsill, Ben Carter,r Ed Waller, Grover Parker and 8. A. Hudgins. Hand told the governor he har-‘ vested one bale of cotton last week. : He gaid he put it in a \vm'ehnuse,l got his receipt and returned to the | farm. A few days later, he said a,l government agent came to him and, asked for the receipt, saying he h:id' sold the cotton to pay rent on the farm. ! 1 didn’t give him the receipt; 1 told him to try and get it,” Hundl ?added. 1 | - ! lMamuana Patch ] Found By Agents' I ATLANTA — (B — Federall | agents =said here today they had| !r:ti«lml and destroyed a large patch of Marijuana plants being grown near the business section in Col- | | umbus. i | T.
