Government Loan To Keep
Cotton Off The Market
Washington, Oct. 7.—The govern
ment has extended a $.'10,000,(>00
credit to co-operative marketing as
sociations for the orderly marketing'
of the cotton ciop.
Available
A. G. Williams, chairman of the
federal farm lean board, assured the
co-operative organization in a mes
sage today that the government was
willing to extend any “proper credit”
for marketin': the cr p. Of the $30,-
000,000 in commitments made by the
intermediate credit bank;, $7,(100,-
OOfl in loans already has been drawn.
The me ; re of Mr. Williams to
>ne of the managers of a co-oper
.idjvc association read: “Intermedi
ute credit bank: are able and will
ing to extend proper credit for the
■orderly marketing of cotton through
soundly organized and properly
managed co-operative marketing as
sociations.
“I am confident you will find a
willingness on the part of all in
terests to eo-operate in any sound
plan for marketing this year's cot
ton crop.”
No Speculation
While it is believed by some of
lcials that perhaps more than sllO,-
000,00 credit v iJi be required to
market the crop satisfactorily none
would state how far the federal land
bonks or tho immediate credit banks
would go in this regard.
Testing The Pension Law
* .
A case is being made in Dougherty
county to test the pension law. An
effort will be made to force the
State to pay the dependent heirs
of a deceased Confederate veteran
any sum from the pension fund that
was due the veteran at the time of
his death. It seems to us this is a
just debt and should be paid. We
agree thoroughly with the Savannah
Press, which rays:
“By every right of reasoning the
State should pay this claim. If there
is. no law for it, there should be such
a law. It is all wrong to say that
when a Confederate veteran dies
with the State owing him a pension
that the obligation is cancelled. There
is more reason for paying the pen
sion under these circumstances than
there would be if the veteran was
alive. The small amount given by
the State to the old wearers of the
grey is none too much, but it would
come in very handily when the widow
is left without sustenance and with
out even the meagre support her
elderly husband might have given her.
"Let’s reverse the case: If the
veteran owned property and owed
the State taxes on it, his death would
no.t pay the tax collector. Not a bit
of it. The officials would be around
very promptly demanding that the
widow pay the taxes or surrender
the property against which the a
mount duo wju a lien. Bat now we
are told no matter how great the
sum of back pension is that has not
been paid, and no matter how long
a veteran was kept out of it when he
lived, that when he died the State
escapes all responsibility and is with
out all obligation.
"If this i; the law all we’ve got to
say is it is a very unfair one. We
cannot make this any stronger and
get this issue of The Press through
the post office.”
CHILD THROWN FROM TRAIN
AND KILLED
An inquest was held in Gaines
ville Saturday to investigate the
death of a 16-months’-old boy, whose
body was found along the Southern
Railway tracks near that city late
Friday. Police expressed the belief
that the baby had been thrown from
a passenger train. The child's skull
was crushed.
A passing workman found the
body and notified railway officials.
Coroner D. C. Stowe said that his
preliminary investigation indicated
the baby had Iv **n thrown from a
train window and their theory was
strengthened by the fact no reports
have been received of a missing child.
The child was neatly dressed. At first
it was thought the child was of white
parentage, but ater the jury pro
nounced it to be colored.
Mr. Sanford M. Ayers of Atlanta
spent Sunday with his parents, Col.
and Mrs. J. S. Ayers.
The Election’* Result
(From Atlanta Journal)
The people are sovereign, and when
they have spoken, The Journal, as a
believer in democracy, accepts the
result with good will. During the
long campaign which ended with Wed
nesday’s "run-over” primary in the
election of Dr. L. G. Hardman we
contended for certain principles and
policies of government in which our
faith i still unshaken. The proposal
to burden the state with a bond issue
for public improvements which should
be made to far better advantage by
efficient use of current revenues,
drew The Journal into the field to
fight what it conceived to be a peril
.and a wrong. For that reason we
opposed the calling of the extraordi
| nary session of the legislature last
l winter; for that reason we combat-
Ited the bond bills which were intro
duced and which, thanks to clear
thinking in the house and senate,
were defeated; and for that reason,
in the subsequent contest for the
governorship, we supported Hon.
John Holder, whom the logic of cir
cumstances made the anti-bond candi
date.
So firm is our conviction of the
merit of that cause that if the same
peril were to arise again we would
adopt the same course, though we
knew in advance beyond a
vcrlure that the same result ensue.
Nor do we begrudge so much as one
moment given to such a battle. IVn-h
--er, we note with satisfaction that, in
the closing stages of the cimpaign
the gentleman who is to be Georgia’s
next governor saw fit to declare him
self opposed to a state bond issue;
and with peculiar satisfaction do we
note that newspapers which had led
tho charge for bonds and which
leading the war on Holder, were mov
ed to insist with utmost emphasis
that bonds were not an issue in the
election of October the sixth. Evi
dently, the rank and file of Geor
gians are against encumbering the
state with a bonded debt for road
building or for any other purpose,
when funds therefor can be procured,
as unquestionably they can be with
proper management, by ways less
costly and far less hazardous. Such
an assurance would cover a multi
tude of disappointments.
As for Mr. Holder, he kept the
faith and fought a good fight, which
i ever the better part of victory.
Handicapped from the outset by a
highway department record which
was rightly chargeable, not to him,
personally, but to the fact that only
within the last year or so did the de
partment have anything like an ade
quate fund for building state roads,
he bore the brunt of bitter and un
warranted attacks, stood valiantly
for what he believed to be true, and
at the sacrifice of his own interests
led the battle for an economic prin
ciple of exceeding moment to the
commonwealth. Let these matters,
however, pass into history, along with
this one other fact which shines like
a fixed star to the glory of the de
feated: Wednesday John Holder car
ried his home county, which is also
the home county of his opponent, by
three hundred and five votes, or a
majority nearly twice as large as
that which he received in the first
primary. Better praise no man can
earn than to be trusted by those who
know him best.
To Dr. Hardman, The Journal of
fers sincere congratulations and wish
es him a term of office that will be in
every sense a term of service. We
assure the Democratic nominee for
governor that in his every effort to
strengthen, to protect, to upbuild,
and to honor the commonwealth to
which true Georgians of all parties
and all opinions are devoted, he will
have The Journal's unfailing good
will and unstinted cooperation.
The Peoples Bank, anew financial
institution will open its doors in

Newspapers throughout the state
are extending; deep sympathy to the
Hartwell Sun on account of the death
of one of the editors, Mr. Leon Mor
ris. Mr. Morris and his brother, Mr.
Louie L. Morris, have edited the
Sun for several years, and have
made it one of the outstanding; pa
pers of the state. To the surviving
brother, we express loving condolence
in this hour of sorrow. Though we
do r.ot always understand the ways
of Providence, He who rules the uni
verse has a wise purpose in calling
His children home, and some day the
purport of this untimely death will
be revealed.
