JTTATE HOSPITAL NEEDS MORE
FUNDS
Facts brought out at a meeting of
the state board of control in Atlanta
last week is said to indicate that un
less money can be found by the state
from some other than present sour
er*. the insane people counfined at
the state asylum in Milledgeville are
going to have to go hungry. More
over, though that institution is hous
ing, feeding and clothing nearly 6,-
©OO unfortunates at a per capita cost
or lit cents a day is in such danger
of being short cf the present 49
cents that the authorities frankly ad
mit unless they can get more money
somehow they are going to be com
pelled to feed them people less than
they are now being fed, and clothe
them more scantily.
Besides approximately 6,000 now
brlnir cared for at the institution in
Milledgeville there are nearly 1,000
other crazy people, legally adjudged
for commitment in common jails all
oxer the state.
SOME WOMEN WANT BEER
The Governor of Georgia has join
ed the “Weekly Press” forces, his
name now appearing as “associate
editor” of The Statesman, published
in Hapeville. The last issue of the
newspaper contained a two-column
Article.
His discussion of beer "began this
way:
“After I get home the phone starts
ringing and some little female voice
will answer, ‘we want v beer.’ Occa
sionally it is a male voice asking,
*when are ge going to have beer?’
“Most of these beer inquirers
sound like they are pretty well undqr
the influence of hard liquor before
they begin to think about beer! ,
“The other day a woman called nry
wife over the phone and began to
tell her what a fool husband she had
for not calling the Legislature back
in session to give beer to the people.
My wife asked ‘who are you?* She
Answered, ‘I am a voter.’ My wife
answered back and told her ‘you are
a fool,’ and had to hang up the
phone quickly to get away from a
long tirade of fussing and cussing.”
WORSE THAN WAR
It has been calculated that during
all the major wars in which this
country has engaged as a nation—
Revolution, War of 1812, Mexican
War, War Between the States, Span
i*h-Ameriean War and World War—
Americans killed in action or who
died of wounds numbered less than
300,000. The approximate total
duration of these six wars was 15
years.
During the last 15 years, for com
parison, Americans killed in automo
bile accidents or who died of such
injuries numbered 325,000.
Last year alone such accidents re
vealed a toll of 29,000 killed and
904,800 injured. That is a record
worse one made by all the
nation’s wars in a like period of time.
COHEN IS CONSIDERED
FOR GOVERNMENT POST
Washington.—Word came from
sources close to the Roosevelt ad
ministration today that former
Senator John S. Cohen, of Georgia,
is to be tendered tbe appointment as
commissioner of internal revenue.
Whether the Atlanta publisher
will accept remains to be seen. He is
known to have rejected a previous of
fer of a post of major importance in
tbe federal structure at Washington.
Heretofore Senator Cohen has in
dicated to administration officials
that he is unavailable for service in
"Washington, expressing a preference
for continuing his own business af
fairs in Georgia.

A MODERN KITCHEN ON
EXHIBIT
An all-electric kitchen-on-whcels
was the attraction on the public
square Tuesday morning, and drew
quite a crowd of interested specta
tors.
The kitchen, which is called a
“dream kitchen,” is constructed on
an automobile trailer, and furnished
throughout with all the equipment a
modern housekeeper needs for Rook
ing. Planned for the greatest pos
sible convenience, the kitchen is
fitted with modern, mechanical
equipment, and cabinets so placed as
to save time and space.
All-electric, this kitchen is a marv
el of electrical efficiency. There is
an immaculate electric range to do
the cooking. An electric refrigerator
is near at hand for the convenient
and perfect refrigeration of food.
To relieve the drugery of dishwash
ing, there is an automatic electric
dishwasher ingeniously built into the
sink. A ventilating fan, mounted
above the stove, insures freedom in
the kitchen from disagreeable food
odors and affords plenty of fresh air.
Various small electrical appliances
are near at hand to shorten the hours
of kitchen time. Modren electrical
lighting fixtures add to the general
attractiveness.
The kitchen was accompanied by
Miss Ruth Tabor, the Georgia Power
Company’s home service representa
tive, and by F. B. Williams, H. C.
Chestnutt and Guy Tillman.

anyone was looking for him and told
the manager of the kitchen that he
had traveled in several states since
he left home, wandering from place
to place.
The President some days ago or
dered the search for the boy at the
appeal of the youngsters’ mother.
The Children’s Bureau at Wash
ington reports there-are 150,000 or
more, boys and girls under twenty
one roving about the country.
MR. T. NEWT WRIGHT DIES
SUDDENLY
Death came suddenly Sunday to
Mr. T. Newt Wright, and without
warning his soul was ushered into
the unknown world. Mr. Wright
made his home on the Athens River
Road, Route 4, on the Holder farm,
and was well known to many people
in the county.
Funeral and burial service were
held Monday afternoon at Center
Grove. The services were conduct
ed by Rev. Guy Harbin.
Mr. Wright was twice married,
and is survived by his widow and six
sons.
The largest Protestant body in
the United States is the Methodist
Episcopal Church with 4,135,775
members. The second largest body
is the Southern Baptists with 3,70>2,-
315 members. The next bodies in
order are the Baptist National Con
vention (colored) and the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, with 3,510,-
000 and 2,346,000 respectively. Of
course, the Roman Catholics are the
largest body with 14,441,011 mem
bers, while the Jewish Congregations
with 4,081,242 members are larger
than any single Protestant group ex
cept the Methodist Episcopal Church.

million adherents are the Northern

Church in the United States of A
meriea, and the Disciples.
Senator W. H. Lovett of Wrights
ville, after a conference with the
governor, predicts an extra session
of the legislature in the fall to han
dle state finances and beer. “What
we need in Georgia,” the senator
said, “is some form of tax as pain
less as possible that will provide a
steady stream of revenue such as
that afforded by the gasoline tax. I
think we are coming to a general
sales tax because our ad valorem
system of property tax has broken
down and revenues are dropping off
at an alarming rate.”
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
CO. AGENT COLUMN
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
Variety Of Cotton To Plant
Plant one of the standard varieties
of cotton that has proven to be a
good yielder per acre, also one that
will produce a staple one to one and
1-16 inches in length.
For the past three years the Fed*
‘eral and State Departments of Agri
culture eo-pperating have conducted
research work at one of the gins in
Jackson county, and this work has
been the sampling of each bale of
cotton, also pulling the staple of
each sample. The results of these
three years work shows tha,t .over
eighty per cent of the cotton ginned
at this gin had a staple of 7*B inches
in length or less. What does that
mean? It simply means, jhat the
farmers who produced this cotton for
the past three years have lost |2.50
per bale, or more, because they did
not grow a cotton that would pro
duce a staple one inch in length, or
little better. That is, these farmers
lost about five thousand dollars each
year for past three years, or fifteen
thousand dollars. This result I ex
pect would be about the same at any
other gin in Jackson county; and if
that be true, then it is time our
farmers change the variety of cotton
they are planting, and plant a variety
that will give them the greatest
possible profits. '
In the past, some farmers have
used the very short staple varieties
of cotton, and talk about yield
per cent of lint from certain number
of pounds of seed cotton on wagon,
but this is wrong way to Judge cot
ton. The proper way judge .re
turns from cotton if,t;o consider the
number of pounds of seed cotton and
lint per acre yield, and then the
price received for cotton per acre,
and when this “yard stick”
against the very short staple varie
ties it is seldom that they win in
yield or value per acre. Riant a
variety of cotton that will give a
good yield, alsq produce a staple one
to one and 1-16 inches in length.
If you need to purchase good cot
ton seed, and wish me to, I will glad
ly assist you in locating seed that you
may need.
Yours for service,
W. H. Hosch,
County Agri. Agent.

A court fight seems imminent
challenging the legality of the per
sonnel of the Board of Regents.
This action is being considered by
Georgia Tech Alumni in an effort to
nullify the order of the regents in
abolishing the Tech School of Com
merce. At a mass meeting 400 Tech
students of the Commelce' 1 >! '§bhool
protested against Vne regents action,
and signed a pledge not to attend
any qther school controlled by the
State of Geergia. ‘ ‘ Thd '’Albany
Herald thinks the Tech students
wouldn’t have minded if their school
of commerce had been moved some
where else, in Union or Charlton
county, for instance, perhaps. But
to carry it to Athens—this waS too
much.
Within the past week the State
Agricultural Department has appoint
ed 40 short-term fertilizer inspectors.
They are to work under six long
ierm inspectors, who, likewise are
under a chief inspector. A fund of
$19,000 to pay the salaries of these
employes of the department already
has been set up and approved by
Governor Talmadge in the quarterly
budget of the department. As most
of the fertilizer has already been
sold and is in the ground, we do not
see the need of this number of in
spectors.
In an address before the Georgia
Educational Association, Governor
Talmadge was quoted by the Savan
nah Press as saying th-at he prefer
red to see homely school houses on
an unimproved road, rather than pre
tentious bitildings on expensive high
ways, and the Savannah Press says
his audience seemed to be with him
about this, because they cheered him
to the echo.

April 24; Mrs. T. T. Benton, presid
ing.
Meeting opened with the Lord’s
Prayer. Minutes read, and adopted.
Treasurer reported sixty cents dues,
and seventy cents missions.
The work for this month was visit
ing, and several reported visits made
to sick and shut-ins, and visits in in
terest of church and Sunday school.
A splendid personal service report
was also made. No further business,
began the study, “Missions In the
Bible,” conducted by Mrs. Rigdon.
We are greatly enjoying this
and realize more fully our duty and
responsibility toward missions.
After the meeting, the hostess
served delicious fresh strawberry
cream and cookies.
G. A. MEETING
The Girls Auxiliary of the Baptist
W, M- U, held their April meeting in
the home of their Counselor, Mrs.
Rigdon.
Minutes of March meeting read
by secretary, Sallie Bryan, who also
made a report on the G. A. visit out
to the County Farm.
Each girl was requested to grow
a pot plant, and carry out on the
next visit to the Farm.
Much interest was aroused in the
drawing of a peanut sister. The
name of each G. A. had been enclos
ed within an empty peanut shell,
and the G. A.’s present, eleven in
number, were invited to draw for
her peanut sister, and to be especial
ly nice to her sister.
Following the business meeting,
the program, subject, “Entrusted
with The Gospel,” was given by the
following girls: Mildred Kell, Ann
Appleby,- Edith Rankin, Blossom
Davis, Ruth Nunn, Emilyn Rigdon,
Claudine Robinson, Linda Lord,
Kathryn Stockton, Sallie Bryan.
After the program, refreshments
were served by Mrs. Rigdon.
In its columns of 68 years ago,
the Gainesville Eagle carried the fol
lowing news item regarding the re
sults of an election: “The follow
ing counties elected negroes to the
legislature; Bibb, Baldwin, Dougher
ty, Hancock, Harris, Jefferson, Jas
per. Liberty, Macon, Morgan, Mon
roe, Muscogee, Richmond, Wilkes.”
The Jesup Sentinel thinks that
farmers, instead of borrowing money
from the government to buy seed and
fertilizer, should save and sell seeds
and make their own fertilizer.
