County declined to hold a

At a preliminary meeting

another judge.
D. F. Herrin, clerk of Brant
lev Sunerior Court, will turn
the matter back to Governor
Maddox for selection of ano
ther iudve to hear the case.

Lavton' Johns filed a protest
of the recent runoff election
when Robert Johns won bv
one vote. PR2 to 1281. Lavton
Job nr alloyed a number of ir
reeularitmc and asked for a
run-off election of the run-off

Tobacco Growers
Advised to Fit
Crop to Market
Georgia tobacco growers
will do well to adjust their
production practices this year
to the buying patterns set by
the industry in 1967, accord
ing to Charles Roland, an a
gronomist of the University of
Georgia Cooperative Extension
Service, who specializes in edu
cational work on tobacco pro
duction.
Changes in the tobacco in
dustry are nothing new, the
agronomist said, pointing out
that in the past Georgia grow
ers have been able to adjust
their cultural practices to meet
the demands of the industry.
Growers who fail to .meet
industry reauirements, he add
ed. will feel a pinch in their
billfold at the end of the
marketing season.
He went on to sav that ripe,
mellow tobacco with medium
body, good tevture, clear
color and good flavor and a
roma has always had a good
market value.
The amount *he industry is
willing to pav for extremes in
ouajitv involving both heaw
and lich+-bod'ed tobacco, he
said, h’s changed s D vernl times
mmr the years. In 1967 the
nrw for red, henw-bndied
toharrn whi^h has hieh in nic
n+mo was drastically reduced.
Mr. Roland said that growers
nroncing tobacco with a high
nicotine content should take
steps to nrevent this haripen
ing in 1968. “Since nicotine is
a nitrnrrennns comnoimH ’* h°
oddod. “factors which will re
dure the amount of nitrogen
retting into the nlant will re
dnre the nercentave of nicotine
in the cureri leaf.”
These factors include nitro
gen fertilizer rates, soil tvoe.
time and h°irht of tqpning.
spacing. irrigation and nitro
gen residue from previous
crons.
■Nitrogen availability to the
nlant is the trigger tn th’S
cnmnlex system of miality to
banro production, he caM.
“Since a nitrogen antidote js
unavailable th« maior nreb’em
in ovality production is jrettinp
the h»st rate of nitrogen with
out having an excessive a
mount.”
Georgia farmers who have
been turning Out red. heavy
bodied tobacco, Mr. Roland
said, should consider reduo
inw the amount of nitrogen
tbcv use. They chnuld a'lsn

Tax Refunds Are
Not Automatic
Way cross, Ga. — Charles F.
Jackson, local Representative
of IRS, reminds taxpayers that
they will not automatically re
ceive a refund of tax withheld
from their wages unless they
file a tax return.
A tax return is not reauired
when the gross income receiv
ed during the year is less than
S6OO, but a return must be fil
ed to obtain a refund of any
Federal tax withheld. This ad
vice applies particularly to
students and other persons
who worked only a part of the
year.
Form 1040 or 1040A must be
filed bv everyone under 65
years of age whose grosq in
come for 1967 was S6OO or
more. If the taxoaver is 65 or
older, a return is required on
lv if total income amounts to
$1,200 or more.

Ordinary Rozier Issues
Statement Refuting
Charges of Undue Haste
Brantley County Ordinary
Perry U. Rozier has issued
a statement refuting the claims
of Attorney Sam Johnson of
Glennville, that he, Rozier
was hasty in certifying the
election returns in the sher
iffs’ race to the Secretary of
State, Ben Fortson.
Ordinary Rozier’s statement
is as follows:
Some people seem to get a
lot of good out of smearing
the good name of our county,
but to me some of the best
people in the state live in
Brantley County, and thank
God, the greater part of the
people are those that money
can’t buy.
"The Savannah Morning
news and the Waycross Jour
nal Herald of Saturday Feb.
3, 1968 carried news stories
quoting attorney Johnson as
saving that the law required
Ordinary Rozier to wait five
days before sending in the
Election Certification. These
charges are as irregular as
some of the others that have
been made to the press since
the election. I would like to
publish the Code Section that
has to do with sending the re
turns to the Secretary of
State, which are as follows:
“Section 34-1568. Returns of
countv and militia district of
ficers commissioned bv Gover
nor to be transmitted to Gov
ernor; Commissions; contest. —
(a) In case of the election 1 of
any county officer, justice of
the peace, constable or other
officer reauired by law to be
commissioned bv the Gover
nor in anv of the several
counties of this State, it shall
be the dutv of the ordinary to
transmit immediately to the
Secretary of State a certified
copv of the returns for alt
such offices. The Secretary of
State shall forthwith lay the
returns so made before the
Governor, and the Governor
shall issue a commission to any
persons elected to such offices,
notwithstanding that the elec
tion of anv su^h persons to
anv of such offices may be
contested in the manner pro
vided bv this code.
“(b) Whenever it shall ap
pear by the decision of the
proper tribunal having juris
diction of a contested elec
tion, that the person to whom
such commission shall have
been issued has not been le
gally elected to the office for
which he has been commis
sioned. then a 1 commission
sh«H issue to the person who
shall annear legally elected to
such office, and th“ issuing of
such commission shall nullify
the commission already issued,
and all power and authority
under such commission first
issued shall thereupon cease.
