LETTER n™ EDITOR^
Brantley Enterprise
Nahunta, Georgia
Dear Editor:
What are the real issues in this County Election? Some
say elect people with experience. I say no experience is
really necessary if the person is honest, reliable and capable.
We have proved that in the man who is now Chairman. Lets
keep him in office.
Also lets give another a chance to be Sheriff in a County
that has so long needed the right kind of law enforcement.
Help Clayton Riggins be elected and just remember the old
saying. “ Experience Teaches a Dear School, But fools will
learn in No Other.”
Thanks
Virginia Omick
Dear Editor:
To the citizens of Brantley County:
This is to clarify a rumor that has been started that I will
be the Deputy of Brantley County.
No. 1. No Sheriff candidate has offered me any such position.
No. 2. I would not accept it if it were.

If you are a producer who
has not produced 100 percent
of your quota this year, you
may desire to lease the re
maining quota that you have
available to other producers
who made in excess of 110
percent of their quota. In
this case, you should contact
the county office if you desire
to lease tobacco quota from
your farm.
There are certain eligibility
requirements under the new
legislation for transferring al
lotments and quotas. Growers
should check with the local
county ASCS office to determine
whether their farm meets the
eligibility requirements if they
desire to transfer quota under
the extended date for filing
flue-cured tobacco leases.
Clark is violating any U.S.
laws relating to sedition or
treason.
Thompson stated, ” It is too
bad that a former Attorney
General of the United States
would lend himself to supp
ort the propaganda activities of
the enemy and not condemn
the enemy for the thousands
of murders and atrocities they
have committed, or even con.
demn the North Vietnamese
for their refusal to comply with
the Geneva Accords on the
treatment of American POW’s
and MlA’s.
” What Clark should be do

American, is to demand an
international investigation into
the war crimes of the North
Vietnamese and not lend him

Mr, Paul Purcell, Fm HA Co.

not obtain loans from other

meet are encouraged to apply
to FmHA.”
Mr. Purcell adds that appli.
cations should be filed at his
office located at 201 state St.
Waycross, Georgia. Applicants
will be given prompt and sym.
pathetic consideration. Mr.
Purcell’s office can help also
in the selection of building
