The supreme court holds that
the State Highway Board has no
power to increase the state aid

Everybody in discussing poli

The Protestant Episcopal church
in the opening sermon at Wash

ninth triennial convention was
urged to climate politics from pul

Do you want the white ladies
and negroes employed at Washing
ton by the government now hav
ing to work side by side and using
the same toilets, by order of Mr.
Hoover, separated? If so vote for
Gov. Smith and the party which
is opposed to such a mixture. The
white lady employes are appealing
to you for a change. Are you go
ing to help do it or turn a deaf
ear?

Senator Curtis, candidate for
Vice-President on the republican
ticket, when asked a question by
a party up in Iowa while speaking
last week, instead of answering
said : “You are too damned dumb
to Understand,” when a demand
was made for nn apology. A man
asking for a position like vice
should have a cleaner mouth, than
to use such language than this, is
what we think about it.
Persons having hogs and cattle
oil the government lands in the
western part of Lumpkin county
and across the line in Union lmye
until the 15th of November to get
them off. After the wild lings,
which were once tame, are captur
ed and found on the reservation
they will be shot by forestry men.
After this time no hunting willbe
allowed on these lands by any one
with a gun. This is to protect the
game from being scared. Strin
gent regulations have been pro
mulgated and state laws passed.
Trespassing is punished with a
fine of not more than $500 or im
prisonment of not more than six
months or both.
Mr. W. W.McEver, living two
miles of Braselton, notifies ns that
he is in the race for Congress on
the republican ticket in the Ninth
District. And says if elected one
time and he doesn’t raise
more h—11 for the common classes
in two years than lias been done
since Tom Watson went to Con
gress 30 odd years ago that lie’ll
never ask for another public office.
Also proposes, if sent to Congress
to give half of his salary of $0,000
each year to the churches of the
Ninth District to be distributed to
the poor and needy. We will state
that Mr. McEver will never be
put to any of this trouble. No
h—1! will be raised in Congress,
neither will lie ever have any such
salary for distribution, because lie
will be defeated so bad that it will
be a hard matter for him to tell
which end is up, and will turn so
sick every time he hears congress
ver who has raised the question of
the social equality of the races.
I have no prejudice against the
negro. I like him in his place. I
sympathize with him in his efforts
properly to bettor liis condition. I
believe in respecting his rights,
but social equality is not his right,
The man who advocates social
equality for the negro is not his
best friend, even though he is a
candidate for president.
With the negroes working in
separate rooms from the whites in
the Department of Commerce,
Hoover recently issued a 11 order
scattering them among the white
employes. Under Hoover's order
white girls from the South are re
quired to sit and \Vork side by side
with negro men.
Senator Stephens, of Mississippi
protested to Hoover about bis anti
segregation order.
Hoover replied to Senator Ste
phens : “Jf such action as was
taken is against the interest of
cither the white or colored em
ployes, they have a full right to
present the matter to me. 1 have
received no complaint from either
group.” Congressional Record,
June 4, 1928, page 10804.
This monstrous order was issu
ed as nn exigency of personal and
party politics.
It was issued on the demand of a
negro who wijs running for dele
gate at large from Ohio to the
Kansas City convention. That
negro candidate defeated U. S.
Senator Fess in a state wide Re
publican primary in Ohio—the
homo of republican presidents —by
the support of white men and wo
men republicans of that state.
He voted for Hoover at Kansas
City.
The national Republican con
vention was crowded as usual with
mgro delegates. From Mississ
ippi and Georgia the delegations
were nearly solidly negro. They
all voted for Hoover. One of his
seconding speeches was made by a
negro delegate. Recently the
tiounl committee-woman from
Mississippi, called by the race
equality Republicans up North
“Mrs.” Booze, appeared in Wash
ington and had her picture taken
in a group with the white ladies of
the national Republican catnmit-
tee.
Is not that a pretty kettle of fish
for our white women of Alabama
who are threatening to vote for
Hoover?
Have our people forgotten the
declaration of President Harding

The County Board lias decied to

much but it will give those who

It must not be forgotten that
the republican parly of the North
must depend upon the negro vote
in many doubtful stales. What
ever the negro politicians demand
at the expense of racial, social and
political eqality, the Northern re
publicans are ready to grant.
Senator Blease, of South Caroli
na, received a letter, published in
the Congressional Record from a
white woman in Hoover’s depart
ment from which 1 quote extracts:
“Now because Hoover has a
fight in Ohio and Indiana, and
wants the colored votes, he as list
ed the negro politicians and has
put these colored people among the
white clerks in the department for
first time. They have always been
in a section to themselves on the
firs: floor and had a toilet to them
selves. Now we have to use the
cars and it was so dusty

The little girl of Postmaster

Mr. McCormack, while here last
week, informed us that it was no
trouble to build roads down where
he lives, in Florida , if they had
anything to do it with. The land
is mostly all low and level, and
ua " when they come to a little rise,
hill they call it, they never cut it
down. It is like we told the gen
tleman, the lower country people
who never saw any of our moun
tains believed that we vvero throw

Prof. Angelberg, the instructor
in music at the Collego is a very
busy man just now. He has 21 in
his baud class, all new exccept
six, and the others are doing a
lot of puffing and blowing, re-ceiv-
the sympathy of these six, because
they once stood at the foot of the
ladder of music and were some
time in getting on the first round,
but when they did they had but
little trouble with the assistance
of their very able instructor, in
going on up, ond who discharges
his duties with much pleasure.
Wo forgot to tell you that Mr.
Ilenry Brannon, of Atlanta, who
came up here some time ago and
had pictures taken of various
water falls, hills, mountains and
animals, including the editor of
the Nugget, wrote 11s a few days
ago that they were about leady to
be exhibited. We have since no
ticed they are now ready to exhibit
their motion picture of Georgia’s
wild life. The pictures taken all
over Georgia cousist of six reels
a>. gi rgat ing 6,000 feet and requires
abmi’; two hours to exhibit. In a
short while they will begin to ex
hibit this motion picture in pub
lic schools and other appropriate
places, accompanied by a lecture.
A gentleman remitting from
New Haven, Conn., writes: “I
have just read an account of your
remarkable paper through the Ed
itor & Publisher, New York City,
I am a newspaper man and know
that communities over the country
need just such human news med
iums a syours.”
Before the Civil war and the ne
groes (now called colored persons)
were under bondage, one could do
a lot more work in a clay then
than a white person. Not so now
with many of them. Their in
dustry seems to have gone with
their bondage. Only recently
We noticed one of these colored
persons building a small pen for a
hog. He was nearly a day in
naking it. Stopping frequently.
Planning, we suppose.
The following letter from Mr.
E. Newell Janes, New York, ex
plains itself: “A certain eminent
doctor, who is connected with
John Hopkins, in Baltimore, has
poken so highly of your paper
and .the refreshing nature of its
contents that he has greatly excit
ed my interest. If you would
send me a copy of your paper I
would esteem it a great fa
vor indeed. I have a warm spot
in my heart for Dahlonega. I
shall never forget that day, nearly
ten years ago, when as a member
of Boys’ High School (Atlanta)
football team, I swapped hair and
hide for a 7 to o victory over Dah-
lonega College. Nor the hospital
ity which followed the battle, I
hope they’re as hard to lick as they
were then.”
A gentleman of Lakewood, R.
I., who learned to set type on the
Patterson (N. J.) Daily Guardian
in 1863, having his attention call
ed to an article in the Editor and
Publisher of October 6th, likes our
views so well, he says, that he
remits in order to hear more from
us, saying : “I am a deacon in
the Baptist church. We are re
quired to give large sums for mis
sions aud our church building is
only half completed and the debt is
