* It Didn’t Take
A DEPRESSION
to make electric rates come down
The average price ot electricity in homes served by this
Company is 26.3 per cent lower than it was in 1913.
It is approximately 35 per cent lower than it was in the
post-war days of 1918-20, when high prices for labor and ma
terials forced it to the ONLY rise it has taken in its history.
It is 30 per cent lower than in 1927, the first year of operation
of the present Georgia Power Company.
Glance at the average prices since 1927:
. Year Average Price per
’ * kilowatt hour (*)
' 1927 - 7.59 cents
1928 -l 7.17 cents
1929 6.29 cents
2930 5.73 cents
1931 5.36 cents
v* 12 mos. ending .
May, 1932 5.27 cents
(*) There’s nothing mysterious about a “kilowatt hour" — it’s simply the measure
of electricity, by which you buy your current as you do milk by the quart,
flour by the sack, sugar by the pound, cloth by the yard.
Sensational recent drops in the general cost of living all have
taken place since 1929. But electric rates didn’t need an economic
crisis to bring them down. With one exception,

The chart shows clearly that
while the general cost of liv
ing long has been and still is
much higher than the 1913
level, the cost of electric
service to homes served by
this Company is far belo’O
the pre-war price.

the trend has been STEADILY downward. Ir
1929, a full year before depression, the average
residential rate was reduced more than 10 per
cent. Today it is lower than ever before in
history.

Glorious Promises
We have dutifully and studiously
read the platform enunc'ated by
Eugene Talmadge at the great gath
ering which honored him at his
city of Mcßae Monday, but we have
not discovered how Mr. Talmadge
proposes to bring us into the Pro
mised Land of virtually free auto
mobile tags and no ad valorem tax
and a dozen other things which he
promised us.
Mr. Talmadge said that he would
pay the school teachers promptly
and provide adequate revenue for
the common schools; he would con
tinue the highway program as it is;
he will reduce the price of automo
bile tags to $3 each, saving the tax
payers $3,250,000 a year, according
to his figures; he will pay the past
due obligations of the state and the
Confederate obligations of the state
and the confederate pensions
promptly, and, all of it is to be done
without increasing taxation in the
state. The only tax change he will
make is to put a tax on intagibles,
which, if Mr. Talmadge does not
know it, is a movement instituted
several years ago and is in the form
of a constitutional amendment to be
voted upon at the November elec-
tion.
It may be that later in his cam
paign, Mr. Talmadge will be pre
pared to tell the voters how all his
financial miracles are to' be achived,
but he is wholly indefinite now. He
will not get the money from the in
tangibles, because the value of the
miraculous intangibles which we are.
going to tax is so depressed now
that even if we confiscated them,
we should get very little out of them
now. He is not going to take the
money from the Highway Board, be
cause his platform declares against
that.
Nevertheless, he tells the voters
that he is going to reduce their au
tomobile tags by $3,250,000; that he
is going to wipe out a $5,000,000
deficit; that he iu going to do away
with ad valorem tax revenue of a
bout $7,000,000 or $8,000,000 an
nually—all without increasing tax
es. It is the usual stuff from politi
cians who find promising easy.
The promises are in line with the
logic and the common sense which
Mr. Talmadge has employed in the
past.—Macon Telegraph.
READ CHARACTER IN MEN’S
EYES, GARNER SAYS
Washington.—Speaker John N.
Garner, the Democratic vice presi
dential nominee, is a man of simple
tastes and philosophy, and voices
the latter in the colorful language
of the southwest.
Frequently when asked about
something he has not studied close
ly, Garner will say:
“I*ll give you a horse-back opin
ion, but until I know all about the
question I won’t answer it.”
“As far as enacting legislation
for the benefit of the common good
of the people is concerned it does
not matter how you do it, just so
you get it done,” Garner quite often
says when he is criticized about
house procedure.
“I never like inferences,” he said
once. “I lijce to know what is on a
man’s mind and I want him to speak
it in dealing with me.”
Other sayings and doings of the
speaker include:
“I never pay any attention to how
a man is dressed, but I look him in
the eye to learn his character.”
“A lot of the best politicians re
ceive their training in judging peo
ple over the poker table.”
“I like to sleep beneath the stars
and to eat my own cooking when I
go out hunting or fishing.”
Another time Garner said in
speaking of John F. Curry, the lam
many Hall boss, and Mayor Anton
Cermack, of Chicago:
“I like to meet men who control
a lot of votes. They have kac'.er
ship in them and exercise it.”
Garner likes to visit the zoo, and,
once asked why he spent so many
Sundays in Washington at the Na
tional Zoological Gardens, he re
plied :
“Animals are natural, and I like
natural things.”
On other occasions he said:
“Some men are always the same
to every man and they are not
strong men.”
“Give mo men with judgment
first.”
As to his reputation as a political
strategist, he often says:
“I fool the enemy by telling him
the truth.”
A law has been passed and signed
by the President making it a feder
al crime, punishable by 20 years’
imprisonment or five thousand dol
lars’ fine, to mail letters threaten
ing to kidnap or demanding ransom.
Lest You Forget Your
Garden
Do not neglect the fall garden. It
is of more real importance than we
usually think. Make successive
plantings of:
Corn—Sjowell’s Evergreen, Tuck
er’s favorite Golden Bantam.
Beans— (Snap bunch Giant
stringless, Green Pod, Burpee’s
Stringless.
Beans—(Snap pole)—McCaslah
and Kentucky Wonder.
Butter Beards —(Bush) —Hender-
son Bush Lima.
Cucumber—White Spine, Long
Green, Stay Green.
Squash—Yellow Crook Neck.
Peas Blackeycd and Sugar
Crowder.
Beets—Blood Turnip, Crosby’s
Egyptian*
Plant seed deep. During the sum
mer seed should be planted near
twice as deep as in the spring in
order to get them down out of the
hot soil into the moist soil. If the
rains continue we need not worry
for fear of needing moisture, but it
is safe to plant a portion of the fall
garden in a branch bottom so in
case of prolonged drought you will
have some vegetables to rely upon.
Transplant collards, cabbage and
tomatoes for fall crop. The suckers
or limbs of tomatoes may be set
rather than young plants. The
plants made from suckers produce
well and the quality is good. These
transplatings should be made by
last of July for best results.
Irish potatoes—a half-acre patch
of irish potatoes can be planted late
in July or first of August to supply
potatoes for family use thrugh the
winter. Because of the hot dry
weather we usually have in the fall
it is safer to select a reasonably
moist second bottom piece of land.
Green mountain is the most popular
variety for fall use, though other
varieties, such as cobbler, are often
used. If spring grown potatoes are
to be used for seed let them become
thoroughly dry in a cool dark place.
About two weeks before planting
time spread thinly in the shade and
cover with sacks or straw, or both,
and keep moist until they begin to
sprout. If small potatoes are used
plant the whole potato. Otherwise
cut into large pieces, about twice
the size used for spring so they will
not dry out before the plants be
come established. In heavy soil
cover about four inches.
CHAPLIN, PICKFORD,
FAIRBANKS AT TOP
OF FILM WEALTHY
Los Angeles.—Three of Holly
wood’s most famous figures—Char
les Chaplin, Mary Pickford and
Douglas Fairbanks —all of whom
were pioneers in the film industYy,
are indicated as the screen colony’s
three wealthiest individuals in tax
assessment rolls published today.
Chaplin listed taxable stocks and
bonds at prices prevalent on March
1 of $7,687,570. Cash and solvent
credits amountnig to $290,000 also
were listed by the film comedian.
Second to Chaplin on the tax rolls
is Mary Pickford, with stocks worth
$2,316,940, interests in foreign
trusts amounting to $176,190 and
real estate valued at $192,260.
Mary’s husband, Douglas Fair
banks, ranks third with stocks worth
$1,384,690, interests in foreign
trusts of $236,760 and real estate
assessed at $75,480, in addition to
his home, listed at $70,170.
How much wealth Chaplin, Fair
banks and Miss Pickford have in
non-taxable securities was a matter
of conjecture.
the bell of the angels
There has come to my mind a le
gend, a thing 1 had half forgot,
And whether I read it or dreamed
it, ah!—well, it matters not;
It is said that in heaven at twilight
a great bell softly swings,
And many may listen and harken to
the wonderful music that rings
If he puts from his heart’* inner
chambers all passion, pain and
strife,
Heartache and weary longing that
throb in the pulses of life—
If he thrusts from his soul all ha
tted, all thoughts of wicked
things,
He can hear in the holy twilight
how the bell of the angels rings.
And I think there lies in this legepd,
if we open our eyes to see,
Somewhat of an inner meaning, my
friend, for you and me, }
Let us look in our hearts and (.ques
tion, Can pure thoughts enter in
To a soul if it be already the, .dwell
ing of thoughts of sin? ;
So then let us ponder a little, le
us look in our hearts and see,
If the twilight bell of the ai}ge s
can rin* for us, yo^ni JJ,.
