Gainesville District Leaguers At
Winder Sunday Afternoon
About one hundred Epworth Lea
guers, from the different Leagues in
the Gainesville District, held their
Quarterly meeting with the Winder
Epworth League Sunday afternoon.
As host, the Winder League pre
pared the program and it was both
attractive and instructive. A Mis
sionary Pageant written by Mrs.
Alva Maxwell of Atlanta, was well
done by the Winder young people
under the leadership of Mrs. W. T.
Irvine. Of course refreshments
were served in the Baraca room and
enjoyed by both the young and
older people alike. The next quar
terly occasion will be with the Beth
lehem church, also in Barrow county,

Strengthening Knox Bridge
A crew arrived the first of this
week to strengthen historic Knox
Bridge which spans Tugalo River.
This old bridge, built more than
eighty years ago, still carries a good
load. But plans were made before
South Carolina voted for beer to re
pair this structure and make it ample
to carry any weight load. The re
pairs will be of wooden timbers and
will last for several years. Of course
at some time it is expected anew
concrete bridge will span Tugalo at
this point. The decision of the Pal
metto state to have beer 3.2 in
strength may have hurried the job
along, for if folks go over there after
it like they talk about it there will
n eed to be a strong structure across
the river to carry the load. But old
Knox bridge might be able to carry
more now than the fellows who drink
could.

Legislature Passes Law
For All Officials To
Make Monthly Reports
Hoschton, Ga., April 24, 1933.
The Jackson Herald, Jefferson, ta.
—Dt Sit The Legislature at the
last session passed an act sponsored
by Burjf.n ot Barrow, and Allen of
Jackson, and which applies to Bar
row and Jackson counties only, and
which (provides: “That from and af
ter January Ist, 1934, it shall be the
duty of Ordinaries, Commissioners
of Roads and Revenues, Clerks of
Superior Courts and City Courts,
Sheriffs, all Bailiffs, Tax Collectors
or Tax Commissioners, County Treas
urers or County Depositories; Coun
ty School Superintendents, and
Treasuirrs of Consolidated School
District* and Local School Districts
to prepare, submit and deliver to
|the Ordinary of the county in which
said officers serve a type written
monthly statement, with carbon
duplicates, showing or reflecting the
financial condition of said officers
records, including an itemized state
ment of all moneys of every charact
er collected during the month for
which report is made, and showing
all transactions \with reference to
receipts and for disbursements of
said urioneys. Said report shv.ll be
delivered to the said Ordinary on or
prior to the tenth of each month, and
between the Ist and 10th of each
month; said officers shall be required,
upon the demand of the Ordinary, to
submit their books, vouchers and ac
counts to him for inspection and ex
amination, and said officers shall
furnish such information to such
Ordinary as may be necessary to a
proper understanding of the finan
cial transactions of such officer or of
ficers, including deputies or /assist
ants therein.”
Section 2 provides that:
“The Ordinary shall be required to
receive such monthly reports of the
books, records and accounts of each
of the county officers hereinabove
mentioned and file the same in the
office of the Ordinary of said county,
whose duty it shall be to keep and
preserve the same on file in his of
fice, to the public for inspection.
It shall be the further duty of such
Ordinary to make an annual report
of such examination and submit the
carbon copies of said financial state
ment to the first Grand Jury con
vening each year in said county.”
Section 8 provides that:
“The Ordinary shall publish a de
tailed and itemized statement of
public funds disbursed by any of
said officers showing in detail to
whom paid and for what purpose
paid and with sufficient detail to ad
vise the public fully as to such pay
ments. Such publication shall be
made quarterly in the newspaper
carrying the advertisements of the
Sheriff’s sales.”
Believing this information will be
of interest to the people of the coun
ty, I am submitting same for publica
tion in your paper. Above includes
the essestial provisions of the bill.
This law simply turns on the light
and lets every tax-payer know what
goes with his money. This law is
original. I know of nothing else
like it anywhere. It should cause
little‘or n6 trouble to any official.
All officials who handle public funds
are supposed to keep a cash book.
If there be any officers who do not
keep such cash book, this law will
necessitate their doing so in the
future. All that such officers will
need to do jn order to comply with
the law, will be to make, at the
first of each month, a copy of all
items on his cash book for the pre
vious iporith, and submit same to
the Ordinary. In case of the more
important officers, this can be done
by a clerk or stenographer.
After all is said about taxes, it is
not our 5 mills state tax that is
hurting us, and which i* not likely to
be lowered soon, it is our local coun
ty and municipal taxes that is bear-
ing down on us so heavily.
Very truly,
L. C. ALLEN,
Rep. Jackson County.

FORESTRY WORK
Nan* For Reforestation Work} En
rollment Started For Jackson
County
Enrollment for places in Jackson
county’s allotment of 45 men in the
Civilian Conservation Corps will be
started this week. The recruiting
will be handled by the relief organi
zation that has dispensed emergency
relief funds of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
The following well known citizens
of the county compose this commit
tee: A. J. Murphy, Chairman; Mrs.
A. B. Deadwyler, Vice-Chairman, Dr.
J. C. Verner, J. A. Crook, Greene
Brastlton, A. L. DeLaperrierc, Judge
C. L. Bryson, Mrs. M. M. Bryan, W.
Hill Hosch. Luther Elrod is repre
sentative of tht committee.
Georgia’s allotment of 6,000 was
proportioned among the counties in
direct relation to the population, and
thus Fulton leads the list with 692
men, followed by Chatham, with 217;
Bibb, 159; Richmond, 151; DeKalh,
145; Muscogee, 119; Floyd, 100, and
the others in order of population.
Work is to be given primarily to
young men between 18 and 25 who
are citizens of the United States, un
married and unemployed, who wish
to volunteer for this work and who
wish to allow a substantial portion
of their S3O monthly cash allowance
to their dependents.
In addition there will be selected
a certain number of older men, mar
ried or unmarried, who live near the
national parks or forests, who are
unemployed and who have had actual
experience in work in forests. No
one is being drafted for emergency
conservation work.
All applications are voluntry. No
one should apply unless he is ready
to fit into camp life with a group of
200 men. Selection will be made
first from men who have the most
dependents and whose character, pur
pose and ambition best fit him into
this job.
Applications accepted will receive
food, clothing and shelter, probably
tents and camps for six months, in
addition to a cash allowance of S3O
a month, most of which will be al
lotted to people dependent on him, as
a man will not need more than $2.50
or $5 a month in cash for incidental
expenses. >
As soon as a local agency in
counties which help select these men
is notified that more men should be
sent for, that agency will get in
touch with a suitable number of men
who have applied and will instruct
them to go to a recruiting station
for preliminary examination. The
machinery of the army stations are
being used because they are more
convenient and it is the most effec
tive way of handling the enrollment.
Enlistment in the conservation
corps, however, is not an enlistment
in the army.
A*fter the men have been accepted
and placed in recruiting stations for
physical examinations, they are to
be sent at government expense to
conditioning camps at army posts,
whefe they will remain two weeks or
more for a more thorough physical
examination.
Men then will be sent at govern
ment expense to forestry camps for
the remainder of the six months.
Some of these camps will be in na
tional or other forests and work will
be under the supervision of the for
est service. Camps will
be in charge of officers of the United
States army, which will supply camp
equipment, supply service and camp
management.
Pay for the men will begin as soon
as they have taken the oath of en
listment and will be paid twice
monthly. The allotment for depend
ents will be mailed directly to them.
If the men get ill or have an acci
dent while in camp or working they
will receive free medical care and
hospital care if needed.
At the end of the six months the
men will turn in their clothing and
camp equipment and be sent back at
government expense to the recruit
ing station where they originally ap
plied or to their homes.
The new giant dirigible Macon, on
its trial flight, carried 105 persons,
including eleven officers, thirty-one
engineers, eight members of the
naval board of inspection and Good
year-Zeppelin Company inspectors.
It is the biggest airship in existence,
785 feet long.
