Qualifying Deadline of June 21 Recommended A deadline of June 21 as the final date for guber natorial and other state candidates to qualify to run in the Sept. 10 primary election has been recommend ed by a subcommittee of the Georgia Democratic Executive Committee.

Natural Gas Case Is Argued Before State Supreme Court The case of South Georgia Natural Gas Company against the Georgia Public Service Commission and Georgia Coastal Natural Gas Corporation was argued before the Supreme Court of Georgia recently. The Georgia Public Service commission granted to Geor gia Coastal a local Georgia certificate of conveince and necessity on March 29, 1957, authorizing it to serve the towns, of Alma, Baxley, Black shear, Brunswick, Claxton, Douglas, Eastman, Fitzgerald, Hazlehurst, Helena, Jesup, Lumber City, Lyons, Mcßae, Ocilla, Reidsville, Soperton, and Wrightsville. South Georgia Gas and in terstate operation in Georgia, Alabama and Florida, opposed the granting of the certificate and appealed the Commis sion’s decision which affirmed the Georgia Commission ' on October 18, 1957. The recent hearing was on the appeal from Superior Court’s decision to the Su preme Court of Georgia. The argument centered largely around the question of whether the supply of gas to the 22 communities shall be under local regulation or under the regulation of the Federal Power Commission in Wash ington. Attorneys for South Georgia Natural Gas contended that the Georgia Natural Gas Act was void and that the Georgia Commission was without reg ulatory jurisdiction and that the furnishing of the gas to these 22 Georgia communities was to be regulated solely by the Federal Power Commission in Washington. Georgia Coastal testified that since receiving the Geor gia certificate more than a year ago had spent a great deal of money and had com pleted arrangements for gas distribution to substantially all of the 22 cities and had recent ly made a supply contract for obtaining the necessary gas for this operation. The 22 cities in question con stitute the only Georgia area without natural gas service. 2 Areas Defeat Extension of City Limits Voters in areas effected went to the polls April 30 and rejected extension of city lim its in McDonough and Stock bridge. Only in Hampton did a proposed annexation meet approval. In Hampton a tremendous majority was recorded both inside the present city bound aries and the area to be an nexed. The tally was eighty nine to three in favor inside the present city limits and thirty-seven to nine in favor a mong voters in the section to be brought in. The extension issue failed in McDonough despite the fact voters residing within the town were solidly in favor of bringing' in the outside area. The vote was 149-51 in favor by town dwellers, but 84 to 46 against by voters in the out side area. The proposal in McDonough called for extending the city limits to a mile and one quar ter from the public square. In Stockbridge voters re turned an against majority both in town and in the out side area. The vote was 61 to 75 against in town and an over whelming majority of 116 to 16 against among voters in the area to be annexed. There was one vote disquali fied and one challenged in the city. There were five votes challenged in the outside el ection. The bill in Stockbridge if passed would have extended limits to two miles from a fix ed point on the railroad cros sing. Boundaries at present in Stockbridge extend approxi mately three-fourths of a mile in each direction. By voting approval of the proposal Hampton will become the largest town in Henry County in area. Boundries there will be extended from a point in the railroad tracks to one mile in an easterly di rection and to a mile and a half in a general westerly di rection from the same fixed point. Passage of city limit exten sion in Hampton is expected to be the forerunner of that com munity’s greatest growth in its history. Annexation of the area westward of the fixed railroad point will include the propos ed Civil Aeronautics Adminis tration building in Hampton. Woman Awarded $12,000 from City Os Jesup Following a trial which con sumed two days in Wayne County Superior Court, Mrs. Mary Middleton Eason of Jes up, was awarded $12,000 for injuries received on Feb. 15, 1957, when her car in which she was riding was struck by a police car making an emer gency call. The police car was of the Jesup Police Force, and the jury found the verdict a gainst the City of Jesup in fa vor of Mrs. Eason. Mrs. Eason was represented by R. L. Dawson of Ludowici and Ronald Adams of Jesup. The City of Jesup was repre sented by Charlie Gowen of Brunswick; Chris Conyers and W. Glen Thomas Os Jesup. Top Candidates for Two Positions Favor Segregation and Unit System Satilla REA Gets SIOO,OOO Equipment Loan WASHINGTON, D. C. — It was announced by Congress woman Iris Blitch recently that the Rural Electrification Ad ministration had approved a SIOO,OOO loan application from the Satilla Rural Electric Mem bership Corporation for help ing its members purchase and install electrical equipment. Mrs. Blitch said, “The grant of this loan carries out the intent of the Congress to pro vide through the Rural Elec trification Act continuous ade quate service to rural America as well as to serve all the un served. By its terms, farmers and their families will be able to buy needed electrical equip ment for their homes and farms. Even so, there are at least two million rural Ameri cans still without electric ser vice, and REA systems are scattered mighty thin, with the average only about three ser vices to the mile.” Rural users who will bene fit by the approved loan are residents of Bacon, Atkinson, Ware, Coffee, Pierce, Wayne, Appling, Brantley, and Jeff Davis Counties.

Georgia Power Company FREE!' Many U. S. Senate Committee Duties Keep Herman Busy WASHINGTON, D. C. — Seldom, if ever, in the long history of the U. S. Senate has a sophmore senator been given as many important committee assignments as has Georgia’s Sen. Herman E. Tal madge. He's loaded down with them. But this didn’t just start with his second year in Con gress. It actually began al most as soon as he arrived in Washington for his first ses sion last year when he was placed on the Agriculture and Forestry committee and the pcwerful Rules and Adminstra tion Committee, an almost un heard-of thing for a freshman senator. And more and .more key assignments have been coming his way ever since. Just within a recent week, for instance, he was appointed to the Rules-Administration Committee’s Subcommittee on Privileges and Elections and the Agriculture-Forestry Com mittee’s Tobacco Industry Sub committee as chairman. Both of these are regarded as extremely important assign ments. The Privileges and El ections Subcommittee handled all election contests and over sees the enforcement of elect ion spending and fair cam paign practice laws. The to bacco Industry Subcommittee considers all legislation af fecting tobacco. His other current committee assignments include: Subcom mittee on Agricultural Credit and Rural Electrification; chairman of the Restaurant Subcommittee; Smithsonian Institute Subcommittee; joint Senate-House Committee on the Library of Congress; the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee and the Senate Legislative Review Commit tee. Not only that, Sen. 'Tal madge also just recently com pleted assignment as chairman of a special subcommittee on Rule 22 of the Rules-Adminis tration Committee which held extensive hearings last year on proposed changes in the Senate rule relating to free dom of debate. is Unsurpassed,” Says Glenn Ralston, Valdosta, Georgia, of his GE Weathertron Planning to build or remodel?

Name _ Address Georgia I 1 Leading aspirants to Geor gia’s two highest offices — Governor and Lieutenant Gov ernor — appeared at the re cent fifteenth annual spring meeting of the Peace Officers Assn, of Georgia, held in For Valley, and had their say. Talks were limited to 20 minutes for the prospective gubernatorial candidates; 15 minutes for those who may an swer the opening gong for the lieutenant governor’s race. While each speaker had a different pitch, all followed the same line on at least two present-day issues — segrega tion and the County Unit Sys tem. Without exception, they vowed to support both with all their being. As an example of how the discussion went on these issues Lieut. Gov. Ernest Vandiver, regarded by many as an odds on favorite to become Geor gia’s next governor, set the tempo when he vigorously at tacked Atlanta Mayor Wm. B. Hartsfield’s federal court suit seeking to abolish the County Unit System and pledged to support segregation “as long as I draw a breath.” Vandiver said the mayor could better spend his time “preserving separate schools in his city rather than seeking to deprive the people of Geor gia of any semblance of fair representation in the conduct of operations of their state government.” He declared the County Unit System “stops pro-integration, would-be dic tators at the county line.” Rep. W. T. Bodenhamer, a Baptist preacher of Ty Ty, who recently resigned from his position as executive di rector of the Georgia States Rights Council reportedly to run for governor, said: “I will fight to the last drop of blood in my body for segregation of the races in Georgia.” The prospective candidates for lieutenant governor spoke in the same vein on these two issues. They were: Garland Byrd, of Reynolds; Rep. C. J. Broome Jr., of Alma; Rep. A. A. Fowler Jr., of Douglasville; Rep. Charles L. Gowen, of Brunswick, and Rep. W. Col bert Hawkins, of Sylvania. Another thing all the pros pective candidates agreed on: Fort Valley folks can really put on a barbecue.
