Lester Maddox was leading in the race for gover nor, according to latest returns from about 97 percent of the state’s precincts Thursday morning. Only about 400 votes separated the two candidates, Bo Callaway and Lester Maddox, but the write-in vote for Ellis Arnall totalled about 50,000 and it was expected that the legislature would have to elect a governor from the two top men. In the meantime the Civil Liberties Union entered a suit in federal court to try to prevent the legislature from acting until it is reapportioned. Maddox carried Brantley County 1475 to 210, with eight write-in votes for Arnall. Brantley Votes by Precinct Hob. Hie. Hor. Nah. Lui. Atk. Sch.

The infant, Janet Elizabeth Jackson, was the daughter of John E. Jackson, 111, of Black shear, and Mrs. Joann Erdmire Shields of Ladson, S. C. Mrs. Shields was also in the car when the wreck occurred. She was hospitalized and treat ed for head lacerations. The stepfather, Randall Thomas Shields, of Ladson, S. C. was You Pay 151 Taxes on Loaf of Bread As Government Tax Tenacles Spread By Edith Hills Coogler in The Atlanta Journal Food prices — you pay more, you get less. Why? If you start right now, you can get bundles of statistics from the Department of Agriculture and Labor and from the Government Printing Office. You do not have to be an econo mist to make something out of these. Normal intelligence soon will tell you that what you have got is the Sargasso Sea on paper. Already you are one-up on other groups investigating food prices. You have a keen sense of being unable to get the egg back into the shell. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men COULDN’T ... but they keep trying. One determined group is the New York City Council. They ask ed the Secretary of Agriculture to explain food prices this past Au gust. Orville L. Freeman told them, “It is easy to see how prices that are too high penalize consumers. But it is equally apparent, that in the long run prices that are too low also hurt consumers.” His speech was considerably enlivened by statistical charts. His personal choice was the zig zag line type of chart; he was endeavoring to prove that the farmer doesn’t get any more than his Fair Share — lay the blame somewhere else, see? Most chart-plotters prefer to draw a circle and call it the Food Dollar. They slice it into various seized wedges, as if serving a pie to people called Farmer, Proces sor. Wholesaler, Transportation and Retailer. Who gets what size chunk? That is the funny thing about it. All of these experts are bulwark ed by official, infallable statistics, and yet it seems that no two agree on who gets what size chunk. The whole thing may have become en tirely too complex for anyone to grasp, that’s the unnerving possi bility. But even if the experts agreed, the fractured dollar wouldn’t prove anything — ft shows gross profit, not net. In another story on Page 9-E, Mrs. Lee Ague, president of the Georgia Federation of Republican Women, states her intention to investigate another facet of the BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. treated for shoulder and knee injuries. Survivors, besides her pa rents and stepfather, include a brothre, John E. Jackson, IV, of Ladson, S. C.; mathernal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry A Erdmire of Black shear; paternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. John E. Jackson, 11, of Statesboro; maternal great-grand-mother, Mrs. John E. Jackson, of Blackshear. Graveside services were held at 2:00 Sunday in the Thomas Cemetery. Active pallbearers were Ray Thornton, Dudley Thornton, Doys O’Steen, and Ronald Thomas. If You Subscribe To The Enterprise, You Don't Have to Hunt All Over for A Copy to Read rising cost of food — hidden taxes. This is not a very easy thing to do. The Tax Foundation, Inc., in New York, has been trying to do it for a number of years, to make people aware of the unseen, un known taxes nipping away at the income. You pay a 3 per cent sales tax when you buy an egg in Georgia. According to a Tax Foundation study, you are paying at least — at least — 100 other taxes on that egg. These are in addition to your personal sales tax here. An earlier Tax Foundation study on the hidden taxes in a loaf of bread, started with a grocer in Indianapolis. “The grocer paid four Federal taxes . . . plus . . . “The baker kicked in with eight . . . plus .... “Then, we go back to the mill which made the flour . . . the railroad which hauled it ... the farmer who grew the wheat. . . . “You get the idea. The total — 151 hidden taxes.” The foundation pointed out, “Al though politicians like to talk of making corporations pay, it’s not difficult to see that most taxes on business are simply passed a long to the consumers in the form of higher prices. “The squawking heard through out the land around Income Tax day would probably be even loud er if the average American realiz ed he is paying much more for government than he thinks he is. “(People) pay not only their own income taxes but much of the income tax on corporations which must be passed on some where. ...” The studies are restricted to simpler taxes. For example, to trace state taxes paid by railroads shipping different ingredients for a loaf of— impossible. “Our pic ture of hidden taxes on a loaf of bread would have been expanded beyond manageable scope.” The Foundation approached it from another direction last Janu ary in “Monthly Tax Features.” This study was based on a typical American 8-hour work day. To pay for food and tobacco, you work an hour and 16 minutes. To pay for housing and house hold operations, you work an hour and 30 minutes. To pay taxes, you work two hours and 19 minutes.

Consumers Can Get Information At Ext. Office All of us want to provide happiness and satisfaction for our families. But this depends on more than how much money we earn. It also de pends on how a good a job we can do as consumers. If we are to be smart consumers, we need adequate and accur ate information. Such information is avail able—and has been for years —at the local county Extension office. In fact, the Extension office has been called “Your Consumer Education Center,” and with more than a little justification. Thousand of citizens regu larly avail themselves of the opportunity to be well-inform ed consumers by calling, writ ing, or visiting the Extension office. Far too many, however, guess at what to buy, and then guess as how to use it and how to care for it. Mrs. Virginia Raulerson, county Extension home eco nomist, and George A. Loyd, county agent, are cooperating in a national program to bet ter acquaint the general public with the wealth of consumer educational services available from office of the Cooperative Extension Service. They want their regular callers, writers and visitors to keep calling, writing and visiting. But dur ing the week of November 14, they would especially like those not familiar with Exten sion’s services to drop by for a firsthand look. Their office is located up stairs over the Brantley Coun ty Health office, (Phone 462- 5724) and it is open from 8:00 A. M. to 5:00 P. M.‘ Mon day through Friday. We hope every consumer in Brantley County—a n d that includes everyone—will accept the in vitation. You might be sur prized at what you find there.
