47 Do?* Killed In Monroe Last Week
Municipal dog days—days follow
er warning to owners —disclosed the
more dogs were here than one
could imagine. In addition to those
nnr ,( up, according to the City
fcreet Man, Mr. Lewis Malcolm, 42
Jrown dogs and five puppies, due to
failure of owners to have them inoc
ulated againt rabies, were killed.
One hundred and sixty, having
been treated, were allowed to go
/ re o. This report was up to Satur
day night and we are informed the
town had not been fully covered. Un
]esS those not inoculated forthwith,
they, too, shall “bite the dust.”
At first glance, this seems cruel,
but dog owners were given ample
notice, and the life of one person in
our city is worth ten thousand times
the worth of any dog, be he ever so
well bred. Therefore, something had
to be done to protect human beings.

Chicken* Hatch Out After Hen
Deierts
Rev. W. A. Keel, Ph. D., pastor of
the Central Baptist church here, is
our authority for this actual incident.
It may never reach the famed col
umns of “Believe it or not,” but just
the same it is a chicken story that
rivals some of the fish tales told by
the old-timers.
Bill, as the minister is known
everywhere, set a hen some two and
a half weeks ago. After just that
much time had elapsed, for some un
accountable reason, that hen desert
ed the nest.
This morning Bill went out to the
nest and there was a biddy that had
just hatched.
Of course, it was the weather.
Maybe not the type that would fry
an egg, but the kind that will hatch
’em.

County Official Explains
Cotton Plan
A series of meetings towards or
ganizing Jackson county’s co-oper
ation in the Wallace plan to boost
cotton prices and cut acreage are
being held in various sections of the
county this week. Two meetings
were held on Saturday—at Jefferson
in the after, and at Braselton in the
evening. We are informed that
large crowds of representative citi
zens have attended the meetings,
which are under the direction of
County Agent W. Hill Hosch. At
the meeting in Jefferson Saturday,
a large audience listened intently as
Mr. Hosch outlined the plan and
made the various points clear.
Georgia’s quota of acreage to be cut
is 934,000 acres, and we predict that
the farmers will accept the plans and
plow up from 25 to 40 per cent of
the cotton now growing.

JEFFERSON, Jackson County, Georgia.
Here’s Uncle Sam’s Offer
To Dixie Cotton Planters
Washington.—The cotton option
contract, of which specimen forms
were made public today* provides
that Secretary Wallace will grant
options to growers in part consider
ation of their agreements to reduce
acreage.
These options will be at six cents
a pound of S3O per bale, the basic
price being for middling 7-Bth inch
staple cotton as listed by the New
York Cotton Exchange.
In no event will producers be liable
for any financial loss because of the
acceptance of this option, the con
tract says. The grower pay’s out no
cash for them, his gain being his
right to exercise the option so as to
provide him with any sum above six
cents as his profit.
The terms of the option contract
cover seven main points, which are:
1. That the option is non-trans
ferable and expires May 1, 1934, un
less exercised before that date.
2. Any exercise of the option
must be for the full amount, pre
venting growers from exercising part
of the option at different times.
3. The basis of the cotton cover
ed by the option is a bale of 500
pounds gross weight, middling in
grade, 7-8-inch staple.
4. To facilitate the execution of
the contract, the producer specifical
ly authorizes Wallace to convert by
any means he desires the cotton cov
ered by the option into cotton futures
contracts.
5. “On the form printed below
or on a form identical therewith the
producer shall give notice to the
secretary that he elects to have his
option exercised on a designated
date, and such notice, subject to re
gulations of the secretary and to the
terms of this contract, shall be ef
fective as an exercise of this option
when received at the place designat
ed for such notice. Upon receipt of
the notice, the secretary, in his dis
cretion, may sell for the account of
the producer, either:
“(A) Cotton held by the secre
tary in an amount covered by this
option, on any recognized spot mark
et at the earliest practical date, hav
ing in view the condition of the spot
markets, at any time after the date
indicated in the notice; or
“(B) Future contracts held by
the secretary covering an amount of
cotton specified in this option. If
future contracts are sold, the price
shall be fixed as of the close of the
New York Cotton Exchange for the
nearest generally quoted cover month
on the date specified in the notice,
unless the notice Is received after
4:30 p. m., eastern standard time, on
the date specified, or unless such ex
change is closed on the date specified,
in either of which events the price
shall be fixed as of the first opening
of the exchange thereafter.”
6. If the date designated in the
notice is prior to December 1, Wal
lace may postpone compliance with
the notice “until such time as in his
judgment a price of not less than
9 Va cents per pound can be obtained
for cotton covered by all like options,
the holders of which have given
notices to have their options exer
cised on such date; but in no event
shall such compliance be postponed
beyond March 1, 1934. Such post
poned compliance shall be deemed an
exercise of the option.”
7. Wallace is to pay to the pro
ducer “as soon as praticable after
the exercise of this option, the dif
ference between 6 cents per pound
and the price as fixed in paragraph
5 (B) —or if the option is exercised
pursuant to paragraph 5 (A) then
the difference between 6 cents per
pound and the price at which the
sale is made. In making such settle
ment no deduction shall be made for
carrying charges, brokerage fees, or
other costs or expenses.”
DRY POND HOME COMING ON
JULY 23
We received a notice last week too
late for publication that the date of
the Home Coming at Dry Pond
is on Sunday, July 23, instead of
Sunday, June 25. We regret that
the notice did not reach our office be
for The Herald had gone to press.
The “Home Coming” of the splendid
citizens of one of the county’s most
prosperous communities and oldest
churches is of great interest, and no
doubt July 23 will witness a large
crowd in attendance upon the “Home
Coming” program. It will be a great
day at Dry Pond.
All Forestry Camps In
Georgia Open
The rerSaming forestry camps for
the civilian conservation corps open
ed in Georgia Monday morning and
approximately 7,000 Georgians are
at work on reforestation.
Five national forests and four
state forest camps are already down
to regular work of preparing forest
fire breaks. Other camps already
manned and beginning work Monday
were at Warm Springs, Waynesboro,
Woodbine, Commerce, Mahunta,
Waycross, Gainesville, Toccoa, Jas
per and Butler. All other camps are
expected to be ready for work in
the woods this week, thus conform
ing with the requirement that all
camps be at work by July 1.
The State Forester, Mr. Lufbur
row, said the employment of this
great number of men on Georgia
forests, through the benefit of the
federal conservation program, would
prove “the greatest boon to the for
estry industry ever received in Geor
gia.” The conservation program will
accomplish what we could not other
wise have hoped to accomplish with
in many decades.
Six counties in the state are listed
for county-wide forestry work—that
is, all of the timbered area will be
worked in Burke, Truetlen, Jackson,
Union, Towns and Hart. Other coun
ties are making efforts to list all
their timberlands in timber protec
tive organizations and obtain the
benefit of county-wide activities.

TALMADGE MOVES
TO DROP SERVICE
OF DR. CAMPBELL
Atlanta, Ga.—Governor Taimadge
appeared to be in another official
row Saturday when friends of J. Phil
Campbell, director of the agricultural
extension work of the University of
Georgia, began rallying to save his
job.
The State Board of Regents fail
ed to re-elect Dr. Campbell at a
meeting Friday, although his assist
ant and staff were chosen again.
Consideration of Dr. Campbell was
postponed to the next meeting, which

Mr. E. B. Betts Everybody’s
Friend
From Athens, in Georgia, comes
our friend Mr. E. B. Betts, who is
everybody’s friend, and makes step
ping on the elevator for members
like finding the presence of Bill Nye
or Will Rogers. He likes to talk
with the writer about the party Gen
eral Lee attended at Gettysburg in
1863, and the impression he made,
and then to hear him in mild, good
natured laughter when we called at
tention to the hurried way General
Lee left Pennsylvania for home.
To have a real Southerner joke
about the Civil War as our friend
Betts frequently does, you get the
answer, which is that the war is
over—all wars are over—and the in-
dustry and good will of the two sec
tions is woven into anew fabric of
fellowship among men, and no one
is doing more to help the noble pur
pose than Betts, the elevator con
ductor whose good natured jokes on
the elevator are welding ties between
North and South that will find effect
today and in after years through the*
example, the leadership of the man
with a big heart and great soul, the
elevator man, Col. Betts.—Congress
