POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOR CHAIRMAN COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Butts County:
1 am a candidate for re-election as
Chairman of the Board of Commis
sioners of Butts County. In making
this announcement I want to assure
you that the business policies pur
sued during my tenure in office as
Chairman in the past will be strictly
adhered to in the future. My ambi
tion, wish and desire is to reduce the
tux levy of Btuts County to a point
lower than in any County in the
State, and that without curtailment
of any needed or necessary sei'vices
or improvements. I believe it can
be done, that I can do it, and I
promise you that I will do my level
best to bring about this enviable sit
uation if I am re-elected.
Thanking you for your confidence
in the past, assuring you that I will
merit and appreciate your continued
confidence, I am,
Respectfully yours,
O. B. HOWELL.
FOR CHAIRMAN OF BOARD
To The White Voters of Butts Coun
ty:
Sincerely believing that a public
office is a public trust and that every
citizens is entitled to an equal, fair
and courteous consideration, Ihereby
announce my candidacy for the office
of Chairman of the Board of Com
mssioners of Roads and Revenues of
Butts County, subject to the rules
if the Democratic Primary to be held
on May 18th, 1934. Having beer,
horn and reared in Butts County and
being directly interested in farming,
and taxation on real estate, I am in
tensely interested in the County’s
welfare and lower taxation of its
property. In spite of the fact that
the cost of all supplies and commodi
ties, labor and services which our
county has to buy has been greatly
reduced, Butts County, in economical
government, ranks’only in the 109th
place among the 159 counties of this
State. There are 108 counties in
Georgia with a lower tax rate than
Butts. Our reduction in taxes has
not kept pace with the reduction in
pi ices and reduced cost of county
1 government.
If elected, during my term of of
fice, I assure you that the Highway
Refunding Certificates issued to re
pay this county for its work on State
Aid Roads since 1919. will be applied
to the retirement of our outstanding
Bonds and FOR NO OTHER PUR
POSE; thereby practically eliminat
ing our present levy of 4 mills for
this purpose. If elected, I shall im
mediately condition the State Aid
Route from Jackson to Covington , as
designated by the State Highway
Board and under outstanding instruc
tions of the State Highway Board,
so that the maintenance of this road
may be taken over by the State
thereby relieving the C mnty of this
expense,— and further enabling the
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
County to receive its pro rata share
of the State gasoline tax, thereby
lessening the present burden on our
taxpayers by several thousand dollar?
per year. I pledge to the Tax PAY
ERS, if elected, an actual saving, in
these two items alone, of at least 25
per cent, in our total county tax, —
and that the Highway Certificates (in
the total sum of $82,818.10) will bt.
use solely for this purpose and that
by no subterfuge, will any other levy 1
be substituted nor will any other levy
he increased to supplant this saving.
If elected, I assure you that I can
and will co-operate with the various
Federal and State agencies, including
the State Highway Board, in obtain
ing all funds, labor and public im
provements available to our County
without cost to the tax payers, and
further reduce our tax rate accord
ingly.
If elected, I shall publish quarterly
an itemized statement of all purchas
es and warrants issued by the Com
missioners, showing the amount of
each, to'whom the money is to be
paid and for purpose, as the law re
quires, as well as an accurate state
ment of all supplies, including auto
mobiles, gasoline and oil, furnished
by the County to any officer, em
ployee of the county or to any other
person. If elected, I assure you that
during my term of office, 1 shall not
draw two salaries from county funds,
either directly or indirectly, but 1
shall follow the letter and spirit of
the law in paying salaries, including
my own, and in incurring and paying
ail other expenditures from county
funds.
I have no undisclosed, private or
selfish purpose in seeking this office;
and, if elected, I pledge to you an
honest, faithful, economical and effi
cient administration of the duties of
the office.
I shall appreciate your vote and in
fluence of your support.
Respectfully,
GEO. E. MALLET.

fl'ice I pledge you my best efforts for

sioner is my platform.

“Spirit of Dead” Moves
Image in Tribal Rites
Primitive tribesmen of the Island ot
Sumatra believe that the spirit of a
dead person returns a few months aft
er his funeral for one last celebration
with his relatives and friends. This
belief, according to the curator of an
thropology, writing In the Field Mu
seum News, Chicago, is fostered by
a form of faked spiritualistic seance
devised by native magicians who domi
nate the lives of their less crafty
tribesmen. ■
When tlie time arrives for the re
turn of a spirit the magicians make
a wooden figure in the image of Uie
deceased. The head, arms and tegs
of the figure are hinged, and connect
ed with strings placed on it under
neath the clothing. At the place of
asemhlage for the ceremony the figure
is placed before the people in semi
darkness, in such a position that the
mechanics of the scheme?' cannot be
seen. The tribesmen begin their cere
monial singing and dancing. A ma
gician solemnly summons the dead to
join them, and to indicate that lie is
amongst them by letting his spirit
enter and animate the ligure of his
body.
The magician then manipulates the
strings and the figure moves its head
and Jerks its arms and legs as if it
were joining in the dancing. This,
the natives believe, is the last commu
nication of the spirit with his relatives.
After the ceremony the spirit is
thought to separate itself forever from
the living.
Leeches Are Found Fatal
to Thousands of Ducks
Leeches have been found to be re
sponsible for the death of thousands
of ducks in Alberta, according to Prof.
William Itowan of the University of
Alberta. The hungry ducks greedily
attempt to feed on the leeches while
they are in their bug-like resting
shape. When the worms are disturbed
they clamp onto anything within
reach; in this instance the inside of
the duck's mouth or throat. By dis
tention when tilled with blood, they
then either choke the bird to death if
they are in the throat, or work into
the nostrils and prolong the agony.
The Dominion fish and game depart
ment has been trying to find some
goldfish or other water dweller that
will feed on the leeches, and thus
solve the problem of destroying them.
