SOUTH GEORGIA TOWN
TO CELEBRATE FREEDOM
FROM DEBT JULY FOURTH
The little town of Guyton, Ga.,
in Effingham county, is planning a
big celebration on July 4th. It is
going to be 'out of debt by that
time and the event is to be observed
with fitting ceremony. Guyton has
about 700 population and is believ
ed to be the only town of that size
in the state entirely free from debt
Several years ago it bonded itself
to build a municipal water plant.
The bonds were sold to the Supreme
Lodge, Knights of Pythias. Then
an individual came along and
bought the plant for enough to re
tire the bonds. There were also
some other debts that had to be
met.
By practicing strict economy the
administration of Mayor Sowell has
been able to clean up all that the
town owes—or it will do so by
July Ist.
NAIL IS REMOVED FROM GIRL’S
LUNG AFTER FOUR MONTHS
(From Atlanta Georgian)
Toy Mae Mullinax, 3-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R.
Mullinax, of Ludville, Ga., was un
der the watchfull care of physicians
Wednesday a six-penny nail
that had been embedded in her lung
for four months was removed in a
delicate bronchoscopic operation.
The operation was performed by
a noted surgeoq at the Georgia Bap
tist Hospital and was said to be one
of the most unusual ever done here.
The nail was encrusted with rust
and had sunk into the wall of the
lung, the tissues having begun to
grow over it.
Special instruments were used
and much time was needed to find
the nail and remove it without in
juring the lung.
The child was placed under an
oxygen tent Wednesday and skilled
nurses were in constant attendance.
For the past four months the
child has been suffering from a
series of lung ailments, pneumonia,
whooping cough and others. Puz
zled by her condition, her parents
questioned her closely and she con,
fessed she had “eaten” a nail.
Doctors advised that she be rushe
here and an X-ray examination re
vealed the presence of the nail.

Drug Store And Post Office
Suffer Loss By Fire
Wednesday Night
The McDonald building, on the
public square, in which is located
the post office, Dr. Lee’s drug store,
Dr. E. M. McDonald's office, and
several up-stairs apartments, was
discovered on fire about 12 o’clock
on Wednesday night of la&t week.
The fire followed a severe electrical
storm, and it is thought that the
lightning struck a tree near the
building, jumped to a pipe running
under the floor, and set fire to the
sills. Several persons detected the
burning wood for some time
beore the fire was located. The
flames ate their way through the
wall between the post office and
drug store, and burned a hole
through the lower and upper floors.
Those living in the upstairs apart- j
ments escaped from the building in J
their night clothes. The fire de
partment fought the flames with
great difficulty, but succeeded in
saving the building, although the
contents were either burned or bad
ly damaged by water. Both floors
were flooded with water.
The post office was opened for
business as usual on the morning
following the tire, but the Lee
drug store was closed for several
days awaiting adjustment by the
insurance company. The building is
owned by Dr. E. M. McDonald, and,
unfortunately, insurance that he
had carried for several years had
elapsed a short time ago, and he had
failed to renew the policy.
Laborers are working between
office hours repairing the building,
and while those occupying the same
will suffer much inconvenience, the
work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible until the damage is all re
paired.
Those who occupied the up-stairs
apartments were Dr. E. L. Pirkle’s
dental office, Mr. and Mrs. O. B.
Borders, Mr. and Mrs. John H.
Lord, Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Lord, Mr.
and Mrs. Guy Johnson.

ROOSEVELT, IN ECONOMIC
PLATFORM,’ RAPS SPECULA
TIONS BY FARM BOARD
New York The “economic plat
form” of Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt, candidate for the demo
cratic presidential nomination, is
outlined in this week’s Colliers. He
says:
“This nation needs progressive
leadership. We must recogniTe two i
parts of the problem:
"First, adequate immediate na-,
tionui, st and local aid to pre
vent actual want in the present and
immediate future.
“Second, a comprehensive plan
covering all phases of our economic
and social difficulties.
“I can cite only one phase of this
in this limited space. The farming
interests represents half our popula
tion. They have lost buying power
and this has been largely responsi
ble for depressing industry. We
must at once take the farm board
out of speculation in wheat and
cotton and try anew plan to insure
getting surplus crops out of the
country without putting the govern
ment in business, and set up ma
chinery to save the mortgaged farm
by cutting down amortization and
lowering interest rates.
“These immediate steps must be
followed by a land-utilization sur
vey in order to eliminate marginal
lands and start reforestation and
flood control program.
“Finally, we must give assistance
to those families ip cities who may
wish to return to good land.
“I use these as illustrations of the
broad planning and active leader
ship which must extend to all other
problems because it is clear that
the solution lies not in opportunism
or in last-minute remedies but in
going to the sources of the trou
ble.”
GROWERS SAY MELON
CROP WILL BE SHORT
Anthracnose has appeared in
practically every part of the South
Georgia watermelon belt, according
to reports. This will mean a short
crop, according to melon growers. .
This is the earliest in the season
that anthracnose has appeared since
1923, melon men state. Efforts will
be made to control the disease, but
since it has appeared so early this
will be very difficult, farm authori
ties claim.
Melon prices arc holding fairly
well, but so far the movement from
Florida has been under 100 cars a
day and the weather has been open
and hot in the big consuming cen
ters. In the event production is as
light in Georgia as it promises to
be at this time growers may get
profitable prices for the melons
they ship.
TAX ON CHECKS TO BE
HANDLED BY BANKS
Collection of the new two cent
tax on checks, drafts and similar
instruments which goes into effect
on June 21, will cause no inconven
ience to bank depositors of the
country, but will be handled en
tirely by the banks.
The interhal revenue bureau said
Wednesday the banks would pay the
tax to the treasury at the end of
each month. During the period the
banks will keep count of the num
ber of checks drawn by each de
positor’s cancelled checks. Count
er checks which are cashed by the
depositor at the bank are not tax
ed.
PAYNE —BARNETT
Mr. and Mrs. Roy R. Smith of
Loganville announce the marriage
of their sister, Bernice Paul Payne,
to Albert Dean Barnett of Nichol
son, Saturday, June 18.
Automobile accidents continue
appalling. With continual improve
r.’.'mt in motor vehicles, constant ap
peals for careful driving, and all
manner of rules and regulations to
that end, it might be expected that
street and highway accidents in the
United States would decrease. Just
the contrary is true. They have
been multiplying for years. In
1931 they resulted in the death of
thirty-four thousand, four hundred
persons and in the injury of nearly
a million. The dally loss of lives on
this score averages little less than
one hundred.
