candidate resulting in Smith being
nominated on the first ballot and
every true democrat should be sat
isfied.

Editor Nugget:
I notice you ask if Gov. Al
Smith should withdraw from the
presidential race on accouut of
Sheriff Jackson being opposed to
him. I am very apprehensive that
Jim Davidson will also bolt the
democratic party, which would he
very disastrous to the party of the
South, and he an impediment to
detm cratic victory this fall.
Shall we vote for tho man that
our negro delegates to Kansas City
selected tor us?
The South has always advocat
ed rights, and in fact si ceded for
that principle. I believe Gov.
Smith to lie the stronge.-t a Ivocate
of state rights since Thomas Jef
ferson.
Jint "houl 1 vote for Al and have
his wet dream come true.

Mr. Rone Stiffens, who is on ti e
John Bryant farm, in the eastern

first cotton bloom last Saturday,

We see where a person was
awarded several thousand dollars

good size nose and wouldn’t mimj
letting a monkey trim it up if we
could make a few thousand dollars
this way.

twice we let it go. In making out
monthly statements for Advertis

they need not advertise with ns - .
Since writing another local
about Master Sgt. Rice, he made
another trip to Dahlonega and
dropped in to see us last Saturday.
He informed us that his thirty
years service expired in June.
He served 23 years straight time
and was given seven years double
time while in the Philippine Is
lands. And after two more months
extra service will leave the army

pires Mr. Rice will moter hack

mand in St. Louis.
Mr. Guy F. Jenkins, of this
county, who has been attending
the Martha Berry School is at
home spending his vacation, and
comes this time very much delight
ed because he won the second prize-
for speaking, and the first prize
for general excellency, where there
is an attendance of eight hun
dred hoys and girls. This is a won
derful school, which gives either
a boy or girl who is willing to
work the opportunity of receiving
an education and pay for it in la
bor. Here the girls are taught to
cook and do other house work. And
the boys to farm or learn a trade.
They have two thousand acres,
giving labor to many desiring to do
farm work. Among other pro
ducts are many acres in strawber
ries. When they first come in and
the price is high the berries are
put upon the market. When get
too cheap to market are eateu,
thus teaching economy, and learn
ing the young people how to make
farming profitable when they
take hold of this occupation after
they complete their education.
They first try a boy by giving him
a pretty hard job to see if lie is la
zy. If so ho is not wanted. They
build ninny log houses. They first
put Guy to daubing the cracks
with mud. He got very tired but
stuck to it. Then lie was put
with a mechanic. These houses 011
the inside are finished up as fine as
workmen can do it. This student
is learning cabinet work, and
in three more years will leave the
school with a good education and a
fine trade, like thousands of oth
ers have done since the institution
has been established. Girls know
ing how to do house work. Tiic
rules of the school are strict and
must he obeyed. Twenty-five stu
dents were expelled at one time for
not doing so. There is blit little
time lost in hall playing and it has
to he done on the grounds. The
boys and git Is are not allowed to
be together except on special oc-
casi >ns—a pic nie, barbecue or
some'hing similar. No courting
is mix il up with their studies or
work. There are two pools for |
the students, one for each sex. T! 0 |
boys ami gills are not allowed to
bathe or swim together.
