A Queer Antique
Until someone comes forward with
a better claim for the title Mrs. Alice
Torrence, a Georgia Woman, might
just as well be recognized as the
champion antique biscuit collector.
Her prized relic came hot and
brown from the oven 43 years ago
and two aging companions are veter
ans of the Spanish-American war.
The exclusive clique of biscuit
hoarders began to compare notes
last February when J. A. Stanford,
of Cartersville, was cited as claimant
to the oldest biscuit, a creation of
1909. The mail man got tired of
toting the correspondence the claim
started. Now, says Mrs. Torrence,
Stanford has written her that of all
the biscuits described in letters to
him her’s are the oldest. Her cham
pion biscuit was baked by her moth
er on March 3, 1890. Grandchildren
0n a visit found it in their luggage
"hen they got home and Mrs. Tor
rence saved it. The other two bis
®uits, baked in 1898, were brought
home by Mrs. Torrence’s brothers
w hen they returned from the Span
lsh-American war.

DEATH SUMMONS MRS. j
JAMES L. WILLIAMSON
“Life’s race well run,
Life’s work well done,
Life’s crown well won,
Now comes rest.”
The above words express the writ
er’s thoughts when contemplating
the passing of that "Mother in
Israel,” Mrs. Nannie E. Boggs Wil
liamson, who closed her eyes in the
last long sleep on Saturday afternoon
at 3 o’clock. Following a lingering
illness of several months brought on
by the natural decadence of advanced
age, Mrs. Willamson sweetly, peace
fully joined the hosts of angels on
the other side to hear the Master’s
commendation, “Well done, good and
faithful servant, enter thou into the
joys of thy Lord.”
Death came to her at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. J. R. Bullock, in
Athens.
Mrs. Williamson was a native of
Jefferson, having been born here
January 20, 1843. She was the last
surviving member of the family of
twelve children of Ezekiel Boggs and
Elizabeth Nichols Boggs, prominent
and pioneer citizens of Jackson coun
ty. She was educated at Martin In
stitute, where many of Georgia’s
leading citizens received their edu
cational training. In early childhood
she became a member of the Metho
dist church, and was a devoted and
faithful follower of the Christian
faith.
On Novemby: 21, 1865, she was
married to the late James L. William
son, at Jefferson, where they resided
until his death in 1911. There were
seven children in the family, and all
except two, Mrs. Olah Webb and Mr.
Clyde Williamson, survive their moth
er. The surviving members of the
family are the following daughters
and sons: Mrs. J. R. Bullock, Athens;
Mrs. S. T. Ross, Winder; E. L. Wil
liamson, Atlanta; W. H. Williamson,
Jefferson; Emory Williamson, Au
gusta. There are seven grand chil
ren, Miss MaNita Bulloch, Athens;
Mrs. Hugh W. Dobbs, Atlanta; Mrs.
Fred Northcutt, Toccoa; Mrs. Ernest
Allen, Augusta; Rowrth Williamson,
Augusta; Frank Williamson, Jeffer
son; Wade Hampton Williamson, Jr.,
Jefferson; and five great grandchil
dren, Sarah Williamson and Marion
Williamson, Atlanta; Fred Northcutt,
Jr., Toccoa; Ernest Allen, Jr., and
Antone Allen, Augusta.
The remains were brought to Jef
ferson Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock,
and lay in state at the Methodist
church until 4:30, where many loving
friends and relatives gathered to
view for the last time the sweet face
of a mother whose devotion was un
tiring, whose patience was unwaver
ing and whose sacrifices were un
ending.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Lester Rumble, pastor of
the First Methodist church of Ath
ens, and Rev. E. G. Thomason, pastor
of the Jefferson Methodist church.
The choir, composed of Mesdames
J. C. Smith, Paul Wilson, V. A. Nib
lack, J. Z. Carter, S. A. Boland, Dr.
C. B. Lord, Messrs. J. Z. Carter, W.
P. Thompson and Clifton Barnett,
with Miss Mary Ruth Wills at the
piano, rendered the songs loved by
the deceased, The Christian’s Home
in Glory, We’ll Gather at the River,
and God Be with You Till We Meet
Again. The pall bearers were, J. N.
Holder, W. W. Dickson, Claude
Boggs, George Storey of Athens,
Arthur Moseley of Danielsville, and
R. C. Stevens of Augusta.
Interment was in Woodbine ceme
tery beneath a mound of flowers,
silent tributes of the love and
thoughtfulness of friends and loved
ones.
The deceased had a long span of
life, being permitted to remain with
her loved ones 20 years' longer than
is allotted to man. The spirit of her
love will continue to breathe upon
the lives of loved ones left behind
like a heavenly zephyr. The remem
brance of her love will be a blossom
ever blooming in the hearts of
children and grand children. This
love will sweeten and brighten every
life she touched.

County Agent Column
Cotton Acreage Reduction
Be request of Secretary Wallace,
I of U. S. Department of Agriculture,
I we wish to announce that a campaign
will be held in Jackson County, Geor
gia, during the week of June 26th,
1933, for the purpose of giving farm
ers and others information about the
cotton acreage reduction plan, and
to determine acreage that farmers
will wish to plow up.
Cotton is one of the basis crops
listed in the “Agricultural Adjust
ment Act,” and this bill gives the
U. S. Secretary of Agriculture the
power to reduce the acreage and to
pay the farmer a certain amount in
return for the expense he has gone
to with crop, also partly based on
prospective yield. Space will not al
low me to give detail information a
bout the plan that is proposed. This
information will be given at the sev
eral meetings I expect to hold in
Jackson county at the following
places and at dates and hours as list
ed.
I wish to urge all farmers and
others that may be interested to at
tend one of the meetings. Please tell
your neighbors about the meetings.
Where crop is owned jointly by land
lord and cropper, or tenant, I suggest
that both attend meeting.

Martin county, Fla., is said to be
a “busted county.” The total valu
ation of the county is about $1,500,-
000 less than the total indebtedness.
The public debt is $l,lOO per capita,
and the county and cities have de
faulted on about $500,000 interest
to date. It is another instance of
not adopting the pay-as-you-go
policy.

HIGHWAY BOARD
FLANS WORK ON
FEDERAL FUNDS
Atlanta, Ga.—The state of Georgia
has been allotted more than $lO,-
000,000 in federal aid funds, avail
able on July 1, and has already plan
ned more than $6,000,000 in new
construction work, it is announce*!
by Chairman J. W. Barnett of the
State Highway Board.
The work is to be distributed wide
ly over the state to aid unemploy
ment, and will complete all the main
trunk highways that are now only
partially paved, Chairman Barnett
said.
While Chairman Barnett did not
say so in that many words, it is be
lieved in State Capitol circles that
the federal aid appropriation will
make the Highway Department inde
pendent of Governor Talmadge for
the time being. The public works bill
as it passed" the lower house of
congress contained an allowance for
engineering, as well as overhead and
administration expenses, in the con
struction of federal aid highways.
Five per cent has been allowed in
previous federal aid appropriations
for engineering.
It is pointed out that even ff the
State Highway Department cannot
pay all its employees out of tht
federal allottment, it can at least as
sign the five engineers struck off the
state pay roll by the governor to
federal aid construction, and pay
them from this source. B. P. Mc-
Whorter is still recognized as the
state highway engineer by the Fed
eral Government, desipte the fact
that his name was stricken froo*
the budget by Governor Talmadge on
April 15, when the new prolonged
controversy between the governor
and the highway department got un
der. way.
Highway Department officials do
not take seriously the claim of
friends of Governor Talmadge that
he plans to apply the impounded
funds—the $2,000,000 taken from
the banka—to the general debts of
the state. It was pointed out that
the governor can not transfer state
funds from one account to another,
unless he can replace the money
within twelve months, and also the
approval of the comptroller general,
the state auditor and the state treas
urer are required on requisitions an<jl
warrants against all funds in the
treasury.
The six million-dollar program
with federal funds which the Depart
ment has plans and specifications
ready, will complete the paving of
the following highways:
From Atlanta through Athens to
Augusta.
From Madison to Macon through
Eatonton.
From Macon to Augusta through
Sparta.
From Columbus to Macon.
Route 3 from Atanta through
Griffin, Americus, Albany and Thom
asville to the Florida line.
From Macon to Savannah through
Dublin.
The Florida short route from Co
lumbus through Albany.
Route 80, between Waycross and
Tifton.
Route 30, from Richland through
Claxton, Pembroke and Lyons to Mo-
Rae.
Route 5 from Atlanta through
Canton, Ellijay, Blue Ridge to Cop
perhill, Tenn.
From Brunswick through Jesup
and Baxley.
There are many other short pro
jects in widely distributed sections
of the state also on the program,
Chairman J. W. Barnett of thp
State Highway Board said.
