JOHN HOLDER FOR GOVERNOR
Where would Georgia have been
today had it not been for John Hol
der?
When many citizens and also
every daily newspaper in Georgia
■were advocating a hundred million
dollar bond for road building,
Mr. Holder ndvorated a pay-as-you
jpi plan. * The bond issue was de
feated, and today the people of
Georgia appreciate Mr. Holder more
than e-er, uml u-e he was
right.
The State* of Tennessee, North
and South Carolina issued bonds by
the millions, and now they can not
raise money enough to pay the in
tercs oh the bond indebtedness.
Georgia would have be: n the same
had she issued bonds for road build
ing.
Mr. Holder advocates the pay-as
you-go plan for every department
of Georgia, and it is the only busi
ness-like method for the state to
follow.
He is also advocating a reduction
in taxes on land for state purposes,
and a reduction in the expenses of
the state, beginning with the gov
ernor's office, and going through
very department.
Mr. Holder has done a lot for
Georgia in the way of good roads,
and has devoted his life to the up
building of the state in general. He
in the most deserving man in the
race, in our opinion, and we believe
the people of Georgia think so, and
will give him a good majority on
September 14,—Dawsonville Adver
t iser.
The members of the Jefferson Bar
will be guests this, Thursday, even
ing at a dinner at White Sulphur
Springs, given by the Gainesvyie
Bur Association, in honor of Judge
I. FI. Sutton, Judge of the Court of
Appeals, and Judge B. P. Galliard,
Jr., Judge of tfle Supeftor Courts of
the Northeastern circuit. All the
lawyers in the 9th District have been
invited, together with the Justices
■of the Supreme Court, Judges of the
Court >f Appeals, and the Judges
of the Superior Courts. It is anti
cipated that about two hundred
prominent lawyers over the State
will be present.
In a pooch before the Traffic
Club of Atlanta, C. .1. Haden said:
“In Georgia there are approxi
mately 700,000 children in the pub
lic schools. Of the taxes making
up the fund from which teachers
are paid, the railroads pay approxi
mately one-third. The money witpi
which the railroads nut these tax
demand- for 1931 was borrowed by
them. Further borrowing is impos
sible and unless the earnings of the
railroads are increased they cannot
meet their tax obligations for 1931’.
Then the schools must close at least
for a portion of the year.”
Approximately 17 cars of water
melons have been shipped up to
date by the Terrell County Water
melon Growers’ association, and, al
though the crop is comparatively
short, many melons are still in the
fields and will prohably be fed to
hogs, as there ib now practically no
market for the fruit. Unfavorable
prices have prevailed throughout
the season, and the melons which
have moved forward have been
shipped on consignment.
According to the Moultrie Ob
server, the depression has hit the 4
watermelon crop. Editor Allen
says: The customers simply refus
ed to take the watermelons this
year. Even the Fourth of July
trade was a frost, and the melons
up on the tracks for two or
three days preceding the Fourth
when the demand should have been
sufficient to dean up all the hold
ings. it is not likely now that we |
will see any more profitable ship
ments of melons this year.
Without spending a cent or mak
ing a speech, Will Rogers, 33-year
old school teacher of Moore, Okla
homa, lead a field of 25 candidates
for the Democratic nomination for
congressman-at-large in Oklahoma s
primary. Flabbergasted politicians
laid his victory to the fact that his
name, on the ballots, was the same
as that of Oklahoma’s famous cow
boy philosopher, and that many per
sons thought they were voting for
the latter. Now Rogers will oppose
the runner-up, Mrs. Mable Bassett,
in a runoff primary.

TRIBUTE OF LOVE
With Sorrowing Hearts, Jefferson
Chapter, U. D. C., Offer* Thi*
Tribute of Love To Mr*. Nancy
Elizabeth Bailey
Our organization has lost a Con
federate widow and an understand
ing friend, but the memory of Mrs.
Nancy Elizabeth Bailey will always
remain a vivid thing in our #earts
and lives.
In the quietude of her home,
surrounded by her loved ones, she
passed on into the greater life.
She was devoted to the South and its
cause, and lived in “that time that
stirred men’s souls,” forgetting the.
bitterness she cherished io the
glories of a hallowed past.
A fadeless light is gone, but it
gleams today over a Shining Shore.
There are voices of the past,
Links of a broken chain,
Things that bear us back to times
Which cannot come again;
Yet God fotbid that wc should lose
The echoes that remain.
She was loved and honored by all
who knew her, and her eighty-two
years have been spent in an unself
ish , life. For her in memory’s
wreath we fain would place the
fairest immortelles.
Such souls forever live, ,
In boundless measure of the love
they give.
Words cannot express our sym
pathy for those bereft; and we
wish to point them to a fairer re
gion, far away, where she waits to
meet her loved ones.
In the light of a perfect day,
Waits in one of those fair mansions
That are not- built by human hands,
That rise perfect in their beauty,
Where glorified, with Christ, she
stands.
