CARROLL MAN MAY
RON FOR CONGRESS
HON, SHIRLEY BOYKIN, OF CAR
ROLLTON, SUGGESTED AS
CANDIDATE FROM FOURTH
DISTRICT IN PRIMARY.
The name of Hon. Shirley Boykin,
of Carrollton, has been mentioned as
a candidate for congress from the
Forth district in the primary of this
summer.
The present congressman is Hon.
E. M. Owen, of Griffin, who was
elected two years ago to succeed
Hon. W. C. Wright, who declined to
stand for re-election. Mr. Owen who
is serving his first term, was former
ly solicitor general both of the Flint
and the Griffin judicial circuits.
The Fourth Congressional District,
clue to the reorganization bill, con
tains fifteen counties, as follows:
Butts, Henry, Clayton, Spalding, La
mar, Pike, Fayette, Newton, Upson,
Coweta, Carroll, Troup, Heard, Meri
wether, Harris.
The Carroll County Tmes in its is
sue of March 15 has the following to
say concerning the probable entry of
Mr. Boykin:
Friends of Hon. Shirley C. Boykin
are sugegsting him as a candidate for
Congress from this, the Fourth dis
trict, and insist that he permit his
name to be used as such in the pri
mary to be held in September next.
Mr. Boykin was urged by many of
his friends to enter the race on the
withdrawal of Hon. W. C. Wright in
1932 but the time was so short that
he had not sufficient time to meet
the voters of the nine new counties
that were added to the Fourth dis
trict and he declined to make the
race at that time.
Mr. Boykin is conceded to be one
of the most brilliant and most capa
ble members of the bar in the Cow
eta circuit, and is not without legis
lative experience, having ably repre
sented his district, the 37th, in the
State Senate and also his county in
the House of Representatives, hence
would not enter the National House
as a novice, but a ripe and experienc
ed legislator. He is a close student,
not only of law but also of politics,
and by that term we mean states
craft, not merely the ways and tricks
of the office seeker.
Should he consent to make the
race his friends have no fear but
that he would hold the District up to
the high standard built and main
tained 'by her by the two last lament
ed Congressmen from this district,
Hon. W. C. Adamson and Hon. W. C.
Wright, both native sons of Carroll
county.
The Times can and does most
heartily present Mr. Boykin to the
voters of the Fourth district as
worthy of their heartiest support,
feeing safe in doing so, knowing him
as we do.

Sunday School Lesson
>
(By Rev. Charles E. Dunn)
Review
Lesson for March 25. John 10:7-
16.
Golden text: Isaiah 9:G.
During this first quarter we have
studied some of the principal epi
sodes in the life of Jesus, and have
come to grips with basic emphasis in
His teaching. Beginning with His
birth and childhood, we considered
His baptism and temptation, and saw
Him launched into the varied phases
of His dramatic ministry. We also
read the Sermon on the Mount, that
sublime epitome of His teaching. We
listened to His testimony concerning
His own power to heal, cheer and
comfort. And we learned lessons
from His parables.
This Sunday assigned for review
affords an excellent opportunity for
taking stock. Suppose we ask, “Why
is Jesus still indispensable? Why is
He real today?
One answer is to be found in the
timelessness of His glorious message.
What is this messsage? It is sum
med up in that splendid proclama
tion He 'heralcd at the beginning of
His ministry, “The kingdom of God
is at hand.” What is this kingdom?
It is a realm over which a sovereign
God presides. It is a commonwealth
in which love and obedience, not fear
and calculation, reign. It is a socie
ty in which the individual human
soul has absolute value. It is a be-'
loved community where spiritual
purposes are supreme. And finally
if is a brotherhood whose inward
spring is the living Person of Jesus.
Another reason for the Master’s
continued hold in His sureness of
tread in the religious field. He spoke
with authority, as one long familial
with the truth He proclaimed.
But a more important explanation
of Jesus’ attractiveness today is His
constant companionship with God.
As Dr. Henry Coffin says, Father
and Son are united in conscience,
toil, and endurance. The Master re
leased His spirit so completely into
the larger life of God that He became
one with the Father. And there can
he no doubt that He found in God
the resources He needed.
The first census in the United
States was taken in 1790 and was
conducted by a group of less than
700 marshals at an expense of about
$700,000.
The Mason and Dixon line is the
boundary 'between the states of
Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Southern Paid
$6,604.66 To
County in 1933
In connection with the increase of
tax valuation of thirteen railroads
and telephone companies by the
comptroller general, it is interesting
to note that the Southern Railway
Company, whose valuation was hiked
from $12,000,000 to $58,000,000,
paid Butts county last year the sum
of $6,604.66 in taxes. Of that
amount $5,096.79 was for county
purposes and $1,507.87 for schoos.
It is reported that the railroads

and telephone companies will fight
the increased assessment in court,
and that no taxes wil be paid this
year, pending final decision in the
case.
Butts county receives approxi
mately one-half of its income from
corporation taxes, including the
Georgia Power Company, Southern
