Jackson Dealer
Backs Agent Work
With New Auto
John W. Carter of Carter Motor
Company, Inc., not only supports
Extension work by enrolling his
children in,4-H club activities, but
has gone further and made available
for the farm agent a handsome new
Plymouth station wagon. The new
vehicle will be used in taking club
members to camp and attending oth
er meetings, farm tours, etc.
It is a gesture of friendship and
goodwill that County Extension
Agent B. B. Campbell appreciates.
Up to the present Mr. Campbell, who
does considerable traveling in the
county, as well as making many
trips to points in and out of the
state, has never had anything but
his own private automobile.
By placing the new car at the dis
posal of the county agent Mr. Carter 4
has rendered a fine service to the
entire county. It is a courtesy that
the public will appreciate.
The station wagon was received
from Atlanta last weekend and has
appropriate* lettering that will bring
desirable publicity not only to the
sponsoring firm but to the entire
county as well.
Carter Motor Company, Inc., is
agent for Dodge, DeSoto, Plymouth
and Chrysler cars and the firm is one
of the best known in this entire area
of middle Georgia.

Drivers To Get
1
Permanent Auto
Licenses Soon
Current Georgia auto drivel's li
censes were made permanent by leg
islation enacted at the last session of
the General Assembly.
License renewals are no longer
necessary and there is no longer a
fee charged for a license.
When the Georgia legislature
adopted the broad change in tax
structure, a number of so-called
“nuisance levies” were repealed. The
driver’s license fees were placed in
this category and collection of the
fees was stopped.
With the repeal of the annual re
newal fee provisions of the auto
driver’s act, the licenses were made
permanent, subject to revocation for
cause.
The department of public safety
has arranged to issue permanent li
censes in place of those currently in
use. Delays in printing have occur
red and fowns for the new perma
nent licenses will not be available
for about 30 days.

Plans Are Made
To Install Fire
Control in County
Effective July 1 Butts county will
have fire control and in cooperation
with the Georgia Forestry Commis
sion steps are now being made to set
up the work here.
George W. Lavender, Newnan,
I district forester, recently visited the
! county and selection of a graduate
forester to direct the work will be
made within a few days. There will
be an assistant, who will be a local
man, it is reported. During the ac
tive fire season there will be such
extra help as deemed necessary.
Selection of a site for a fire tow
er is now under study. It is planned
to erect one fire tower this year and
another tower during 1952. Two
towers, with the assistance of units
in adjoining counties, will be suffi
cient to adequately serve the county,
it is estimated.
Butts county commissioners at a
meeting in the spring voted to place
the county under fire control. In this
step the county board had the back
ing of a large element of land own
ers and taxpayers.
Records show that counties having
fire control suffer fewer fires than
unprotected counties. Because of
high winds and a dry spring the state
has suffered more than the usual
number of forest fires this year and
heavy damage resulted to growing
timber.
Full details concerning the instal
lation of the new program in the
county will be available before many
days.

$2.58 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
W. Earl Wells, 40, 150 Park, and
Mary Hopkins, 5, 3868 Prado, Ma
con, were drowned Sunday afternoon
when the home-made motor boat in
which they were riding capsized in
deep water in Jackson Lake near
Scout Island.
Saved were Dr. E. C. Hopkins,
and his son, E. C. Hopkins Jr., both
of Macon.
The boat capsized 150 feet off
shore. Playing a leading part in the
rescue of Dr. Hopkins and the boy,
who wore a life preserver, was Julius
Lindborg, Atlanta electric dealer,
who has a cabin on the lake front.
The body of the Hopkins girl was
recovered in about an hour after
drowning and she was given artific
ial respiration for more than thirty
minutes without success.
The body of Wells was recovered
by workers who' dragged the lake in
about two hours after the tragedy.
Mr. Wells was with the Naval re
cruiting office in Macon and former
ly was associated with the State
Employment Agency there. He had
lived in Macon six years, coming
from Athens. He was a veteran of
World War 11. He is survived by his
wife, mother, two brothers and a
sister.
Mary Hopkins was bom in Rich
mond county and with her parents
had lived in Macon for the past
year. Dr. Hopkins* is with the U. S.
Navy Department.
According to Sheriff J. D. (Bud)
Pope, who supervised dragging oper
ations, Dr. James C. Howell lent \aT
uable assistance in attempts to re
suscitate the young girl, and after
effort*, proved futile, pronounced her
dead.
Acreage Near
School Sold
To Macon Man
Sale of 97.83 acres of land lying
beyond the National Guard armory
and the old High Falls road as part
of the estate of Mrs. Hattie McKib
ben Lane to C. A. Yarbrough of Ma
con was recently closed. This is tract
13 of the Hattie McKibben Lane
lands, and a road runs through the
property.
The consideration, according to
records in the office of clerk of su
perior court, was listed at SB,OOO.
It is understood that the new own
er will develop this property and
likely have a subdivision in the area
near the school grounds and armory.
Investors and home owners have
turned their attention to property in
the vicinity of the school grounds
and this is perhaps the most rapidly
developing part of the city.
