JEFFERSON, GA., MAY 18, 1933.
A GRATEFUL (?) PEOPLE
At best, nowadays, the average country newspaper
is having rather a difficult pull to exisit at all and, to be
sure, if it is any paper at all, it certainly deserves the sup
port of all business men and women within its range of
circulation. After saying this we go further and add that
it is surpassingly strange to us that the local newspaper
devotes hundreds of dollars’ worth of space during the
year, free of charge, to the matter of boosting the inter
ests of all the people within its territory, nearby towns
not excluded, and when opportunity comes for certain
business men and groups to have printing done, they will
send it to distant printshops—to people they have never
seen and will never see, and that without even asking
their home paper for a price on said work. Let’s hope
for a “change of heart” for these grateful (?) people.

WISE CRACKS
Don’t sit down in the meadow and
wait for the cow to be backed up and
milked—go after the cow.
Women are all alike in this; that
they are all different.
A conservative is a man who is
too cowardly to fight, and too fat to
run. .
A man is as good as he has to be,
and a woman as bad as she dares.
A committee is a thing that takes
a week to do what one good man
could do in an hour.
God will not look at you for med
als, degrees or diplomas, but for
scars.
If the Devil finds you idle he will
set you to work as sure as Hell.
There is no such thing as success
in a bad business.

IN MEMORIAM OF MRS. W. A.
CARTER
My greatest friend has gone to be
Heaven’s richest jewel. Her sweet
voice echoes in the stillness of her
home. Our souls continually call
Mrs. Carter, and the cold, quiet still
ness of her chamber answers: “She’s
gone away.” It is so hard to realize
the truth. She is so near, and yet
she’s gone. Her life and soul re
flects itself in every room; the many
beautiful pieces of hand work and
her flowers, are all fresh memories
of her sweet personality, and in them
she still lives with us.
For sixty-three years her rich life
has poured into our souls from its
fountain of fullness those elements
of power and influence that come
only from God. She continues with
us, very close and dear; and yet she’s
gone. Where? To that home “not
made with hands.” She is there now
preparing a room for the children,
the ones she implicity loved and
trusted above all others; the ones
she looked to for tender care during
a long illness, for words of comfort
and good cheer, for a message of
hope that she might live to continue
her ministry to her loved ones and
friends.
This mother was happy, even in
her painful illness, because of the
wonderful expressions in flowers
continually pouring into her sick
room. These unusual expressions of
love and sympathy were reflections
and outstanding testimonies of a life
of service unto others.
She was a good mother to her
children; many a time assuming and
acting the part of sympathetic pilot
when the way seemed dark and un
certain to them, leading on through
the tempestuous storms qf life into
che bright sunshine beyond the
shadows. She loved the things they
loved.
Our souls continually call Mrs.
Carter, and the cold, quiet stillness
of her chamber answers: “She’s gone
away.” Yet, we shall with in
creased anticipation and expectatipn,
continue to cry out to her; and soon
she shall step forth, open the door
of her palace and with a smile of
greetings upon her beautiful coun
tenance welcome us all into her
home “not made with hands.
Mrs. Bob Pinson.

SPECIAL AGENTS APPOINTED
TO COLLECT TAXES
Atlanta.—A hundred million dol
lars of property now escapting state
and county taxation is to be placed
on the tax books by special agents,
appointed by Governor Talmadge.
This became known today when it
wa3 found a commission, or execu
tive order naming them, had been is
sued May 4, by Governor Talmadge
to Henry A. Beaman of Atlanta and
C. I. Scarborough of Cedartown, as
such special tax agents for the state,
and clothing them with full authority
to make and enforce collections, is
sue fi. fas for unpaid taxes, etc.
Information is that the special
agents will proceed at once to cast
up the real value of bank assets and
deposits, cash value of outstanding
insurance policies held in the state,
contracts of special agents on insur
ance renewals, capital stock value of
incorporations, and such similar sub
jects of advalorem taxation, and
thereupon will proceed to enforce
payment of the amount of taxes due
to the state under law for a period of
seven years back. On such collec
tions the special agent, as set out in
the Governor’s executive order, are
to receive 10 per cent of the sums
collected, and no other expense of
any kind is to be attached to the
state.
A number of such special tax col
lectors were appointed by previous
Governors, particularly in the Rus
sell administration, but, when Gov.
Talmadge went into office, the com
missions of all these, including Mes
srs. Beaman & Scarborough, were
revoked by Gov. Talmadge, who criti
cized such super-government officials
as unnecessary. Gov. Talmadge at
that time took the position that the
state, in its regularly organized de
partments, has sufficient authority
and facility for the collection of tax
es due the state, and for enforce
ment of the tax laws.
FARM POPULATION INCREASES
The farm population in the United
States now Li the largest in history.
The gain of more than 1,000,000
in the farm population in 1932 was
he largest increase recorded sincp
1920, which is the first year for
which annual estimates are available.
The principal change in 1932 as
compared with 1931 was in the de
cline in the number of persons leav
ing farms to go to cities. The num
ber of persons going from cities to
farms was slightly less than in 1931.
These facts were made known
April 20th by the department of agri
culture being based on the annual
estimate issued by the department.

DRASTIC SLASHES
MADE IN COST OF
METHODIST BOARD
Nashville, Tenn.—Greatly reduced
income and consequent drastic re
ductions in appropriations for the
Board of Christian Education, Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, were
revealed in the report made to the
Board here Tuesday by its treasurer
and business manager, W. E. Hogan.
Mr. Hogan told the board, which
began its annual two-day session
Tuesday morning, that of the $350,-
000 assessed against the various con
ferences for Christian education, on
ly $132,943 had been collected.
His report revealed that only $30,-
000 of the SBO,OOO assesed for theo
logical schools was paid in, and that
of $125,000 allotted to the board
from the special kingdom extension
fund, $21,000 has been realized.
To meet this depletion of re
sources, Mr. Hogan said, drastic cuts
have been made in the allotments to
all phases of the board’s work, in
cluding appropriations for salaries
and other administrative costs, and
the staff personnel have been reduc
ed.
INJURED MAN CAN SUE
FOR INJURY IN AUTO
Atlanta, May s.—The Court of
Appeals today ruled a father is re
sponsible for negligent operation of
his automobile by another member
of the family when the car is provid
ed for general use.
The case was that of B. L. Ken
nedy against Tom Manis and his
daughter, Lucile. Kennedy sued for
SIO,OOO for alleged injuries received
in an accident involving his car and
one driven by Miss Manis.
Manis filed a demurrer asking to
be eliminated from the suit, and was
sustained by the Whitfield Superior
Court. Today’s ruling reversed the
county court.
Under the "family puropse doc
trine,” the higher court held, a par
ent “is resposible for the negligent
operation of an automobile operated
for the comfort and pleasure of the
family by an adult son or daughter
living with the parent as a member
of the family, where the automobile
is furnished to the family and such
members for the convenience, use
and pleasure of members of the
family.”
AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
“Read the top line,” said the ocu
list, handing the patient a test card
with letters HPTRVZBFHK.
Moments went by. The patient
stared at the card steadily but blank
ly. Finally the oculist grew impa
tient.
“Do you mean to tell me,” he bark
ed, “that you can’t read letters that
size?”
“I can see the letters all right,”
replied the patient, “but I can’t pro
nounce the bloomin’ word.”
TWO-HIGHWAYS
There is a right road and there’s a
wrong road
Which leads to every little thing;
There is a bright road and a song
road
That lead where joy bells ring.
But the best road is the right road,
And it has a golden lane;
And the wrong road, ’tis but the long
road,
Which leads to sorrow’s pain.
