Beil May Break Long Silence
Silenced for 45 years by order of
;y council, the bell at Bethany
or iist Church, corner D’Antignac
and Ninth streets, may soon resume
i long-ago but not forgotten duty
announcing services within the
rtals of the negro place of worship.
Back in 1888, an order was passed

DOGS ARE SAVED FROM
STONE MT. PRECIPICE
Stone Mountain, Ga.— It seems
that the canine tribe is n<-w explor
ing the north or steep side of the
famous Stone Mountain for anything
that may be found there, and after
reaching some part of the side their
nerve fails them and they can go no
farther.
About two weeks ago a dog be
longing to Mrs. Lucy Bradfield was
missing from it? home for a day or
two, and then someone with sharp
eyes noticed a dog on the steps that
lead to the Confederate Memorial,
and upon investigating it was found
to be the lost dog of Mrs. Bradfield.
William Thornton, being present and
of good nerve, volunteered to rescue
the dog, and with several of the citi
zens present, scaled the steps and
brought the dog to safety. The dan
gerous part of the rescue is that the
steps are very rotten and the slight
est misstep would mean a fall of
about four or five hundred feet down
the side of the cliff.
Last Monday morning W. H. Ven
able and Carl Borg, operators of the
information booth at the foot of the
Memorial, noticed more members of
the dog family perched on a very
steep part of the mountain. They
immediately tried to call the dogs to
the top after going to the place
where they were located. One of
them, not being so far down, finally
reached the top of the mountain
safe, the other was so far down the
side that it was impossible for it to
move without falling.
It stayed perched on the side for
forty-eight hours and a rescue party
was organized, consisting of William
Thornton, who by this time has quite
a reputation as a rescuer of lost pets,
L. A. Lanford, D. A Smith, R. H.
Camp, Julian Stovall, Frank Ander
son, V, E. Hix and Sam Goza. These
gentlemen located 400 feet of wire
cable and 360 feSt of grass rope, and
started for the top. Tying the rope
about him, Mr. Thornton was let off
the side and the others stood by as
sisting all they could and after a few
minutes of suspense, the signal came
for lifting and another dog was saved
for its owner.
It seems that the dogs, chasing
rabbits and foxes, start over the side
and before they know just what has
happened, they are so far that it is
impossible to get back.

TURBULENT WEEK
IN STATE POLITICS
COMES TO AN END
Atlanta, Ga.—A turbulent week in
Georgia politics, filled with develop
ments of far-reaching political in
terest, cairn to an end Saturday with
the governor—the central figure—in
Florida lor a week-end rest and resi
dents throughout the state studying
the affect of the fast-popping acti
vities.
Briefly, the developments were:
1. Governor Eugene Talmadge,
by executive order, forced the
price of license tags for all motor
vehicles down to a flat rate of $3.
The former range was a $11.25
minimum for passenger cars to a
maximum of $1,125 for a few large
trucks.
2. The name of Marcus McWhort
er, chief of the tag division, was
stricken from the payroll by Gover
nor Talmadge who said McWhorter
had been quoted as saying he could
not, under the law, sell tags at $3.
3. A great rush to buy the $3 tags
—authorities estimate 50,000 tags
sold during the week at $3 —after
the governor’s order became effec
tive.
4. Publication of reports that the
State Highway board was contem
plating the removal of 800 persons
from its payrolls because of reduced
income, due to the lowered price for
auto tags.
5. Comment by the governor that
the Highway board “ought to make
it 400 more—they have too many
employes anyhow, judging by their
activities around the house and sen
ate, and at shad suppers.”
6. Veto by the governor of an an
nual item of $50,000 for the veteri
nary division for 1934 and 1935, and
of an annual item of $20,000 for the
paper pulp experimental work at
Savannah.
7. Veto by the governor of 40
other bills, including proposed new'
banking legislation.
8. Signing by the governor of the
general appropriations bill, carrying
about $(0,500,000 annually for the 1
next biennium, compared to an origi
nal appropriation of $10,893,909 for
1932, and a net appropriation for
1932 of $9,750,626.
9. Announcement by the governor
that he had ordered a cut of 20 to
25 percent in appropriations for
1933, because of a sharp drop in
state revenues.
10. Comment by Dr. J. M. Sutton,
state veterinarian, that “any stop
page of the veterinary program . . .
will result ultimately in the com
plete destruction of the dairy and
livestock industry of Georgia.”
The veterinarian’s statement, is
sued Saturday, said it was “no part
of my duty to write appropriation
bills, pass or approve the same. The
statement said the general assembly
in 1931 fixed his term of office for
four years, to end January 1, 1936,
and that if the governor “thinks that
this division can function without
funds with regard to the livestock
industry of this state for the years
of 1934 and 1935, it is my duty to
carry on the work to the best of my
ability with the means provided.”
He said laws( passed since 1910
delegated to the veterinarian speci
fic duties, including control and
eradication of contagious diseases in
animals, “especially those which are
transmissible from animal to man,
such as tuberculosis, glanders, an
thrax of reinfestation of the “cattle
fever tick which has cost the citizens
of the state large sums of money to
eradicate.”
The vetoing of the veterinary di
vision echoed a long controversy be
tween Talmadge and Sutton. Tal
madge, as commissioner of agricul
ture, engaged in a lengthy legal tilt
with Sutton over control of the
veterinary division.
Sutton said Saturday that “with
out the proper functioning of the
veterinary division, other states will
quarantine against Georgia livestock.
The governor said he vetoed the
appropriation because it was “con
trary to law” in that it stipulated the
veteiinarian alone could withdraw
from the treasury the sum appro
priated.

CAN YOU TELL ME?
Listen, Folks:
There is a little information, re
garding the Jackson County Singing
Convention, that I' would like to
have. When I was elected secretary
a few years back, the records, so far
as Mr. Will Barnett possessed them,
were turned over to me, covering a
period from 1902 to date. The past
year’s session being marked the
“fifty-fourth annual session,” it ap
pears there are twenty-four years of
the records missing, including the
years from 1878 to 1901. If J ou
can possibly furnish me any infor
mation leading to the recovery of
these records, I will certainly ap
preciate the favor. Or, if you know
any facts regarding the organization
or any dates between the last years
mentioned, it will be a great favor
to hear from you.
Yours for singing,
Jewett Barnett, Nicholson, Ga.

POLITICAL POT BOILS
EARLY
Atlanta, March 20.—The custom
ary embryonic political candidacies
have started to take on life with the
ending of the legislative session.
Four men already are in the race for
the Presidency of the next Senate:
Hugh A. (“Jack”) Gunthers of Win
der, Charlie Redwine of x Fayette,
Clarenre Vaughn of Conyers, and
John C. Beasley of Glenville.
Howard Fnnis of Milledgeville will
be a candidate for Speaker of the
next House.
Speeches by Ellis, Arnold, anti Wil
mer Lanier brought to the surface
the fact that Ed Rivers is going to
run against Eugene Talmadge for
governor. That fight, however, will
not likely be confined to these two
men. Already there is strong talk
of a concerted movement to draft
some prominent business man, and
Robert F. Maddox of Atlanta is the
one talked of. If that should happen
it is a foregone conclusion Mr. Mad
dox would have to be actually
drafted, for he takes no part in poli
tics, and would not by any means be
a volunteer.
But he is accustomed to be drafted
for public service. That is the way
he was secured as a candidate for
mayor of Atlanta, when a strong
hand was needed at the helm.
MRS. BRYAN ENTERTAINS CLUB
Mrs. M. M. Bryan was' hostess re
