Home
Thomanville, Ga.—G. C. Kenning
ton, farmer, reported to Thomas
County officers Saturday that a mot
orist had run over and killed one of
his hogs.

to the bushes. He carried off the
hams, the farmer charged.

Family Of 29 Children Keeps Negro
Busy
Quitman. —The necessity of feed
ing a family of one wife and twenty
nine children pushes the efforts of
Tobe Small, negro farmer, so strenu
ously that he is nearly always the
farmer in the county to bring in the
first bale of cotton.
He arrived in town Monday with
the first bale of the 1933 crop, which
weighed 525 pounds and sold for 11
cents. Tobe brought in the first
bale in 1931 and at that time said he
had twenty-seven children. Monday
he said the family had increased to
twenty-nine.

Moccasin Found In Kitchen
Cabinet
Sparta, Ga. —A large moccasin was
found coiled in the drawer of a kitch
en cabinet at the home of Mrs. W.
L. Garrett, when one of the
members of the family opened it to
put some knives and forks in it.
She almost fainted when she saw
the reptile but had the presence of
mind to shut the drawer. A few
minutes late Mr. Garrett, who was
called from his store here, killed the
snake. The drawer was high off the
floor and it seems almost impossible
that it could have crawled into the
cabinet at all.

Cents Cost To Mail Two
Cents Due The Government
Griffin, Ga.—What is probably the
smallest money order ever issued in
Georgia was sold to A. R. Pen yester
day at the Griffin postoffice.
The money order was for two (2)
cents.
It was bought to be used to pay
a tax due the federal government.
Some time ago Mr. Penn sent the
government a two cent stamp to pay
the tax.
The stamp was returned with the
notation that as it couldn’t be de
posited it could not be accepted in
payment.
So far Mr. Penn has spent: 3
cents on the first letter sending the
2 cent stamp; six cents for the money
order; 3 cents for a stamp to mail the
money order with.
Twelve cents expense, not to men
tion the trouble, to pay the two
cent tax.

Buyi Truck For $25, Discovers It
Runs
New York. Jesse Betcourt’s
friend, Juan Silva, bought a truck
for $25.
“Bet she won’t run," said Jesse,
climbing in.
He pressed the starter. The truck
ran—right into the East River, with
Jesse screaming: “Where’s the
brakes.’’
He swam to shore and got a sum
mons for driving without a license.

Tree* At Fair “Mixed” On
Seaton*
Chicago.—Florida’s orange trees
sent to the Chicago Exposition are
thriving on northern soil and bloom
ing heartily, although they are of
the Valencia variety which ordinarily
blooms in February and June.
Attention was called to the antics
of the trees, Thursday by Nathan
Mayo, Florida commissioner of agri
culture, when he dedicated his state’s
exhibits.
Grapefruit trees and other citrus
fruits transplanted from Florida to
the shores of Lake Michigan also are
blooming.

Within Scope Of NRA I
Requirement*
Washington.—Even a church may
fall within the scope of the national

While there has been no formal
ruling, the view was expressed by
officials there today that a church
has the same status as any business
concerns if it employs three or
more persons.

About 450 of the 1,400 camps will

OUR DISTURBING NEW HOUSES
(The Country Gentleman)
It is not without certain small
pricklings along the spine that one
contemplates the futuristic dwellings
in which, we are told, humankind
eventually will pass its days.
If the residences which compose
the housing exhibit at the Chicago
Fair were the ultimate in new design,
the outlook would be only mildly dis
turbing. To be sure, it might take
a little while to get used to the idea
of keeping the furnace in a closet
just off the living room, and at first
it might seem a bit strange to spend
one’s evenings sitting on the roof
tree instead of the piazza. But most
folks doubtless would soon succumb
to the advantages of these happy in
novations. A good many of us might
even learn to take a bath in a pur
ple bathtub without blushing.
But the Chicago houses, it seems,
are only symptomatic of what is
coming. They are only—heaven de
fend us!—the first step toward a
shining architectural goal.
The typical home of the future,
we are told, will not have fixed par
titions. The inner walls will be
movable, so that the size, shape and
number of rooms can be altered as
desired. At first glance, there would
seem to be nothing so alarming a
bout this, but when one remembers
the average housewife’s proclivity
for rearranging things, the dangers
become more apparent. Give a wo
man the opportunity to express her
self by shifting the walls of a house,
as well as the furniture, and a man
might come home some night and find
himself going to bed in the kitchen
sink.
It might be supposed that modern
plumbing had reached its zenith in
the gay bathrooms of the World’s
Fair houses, but apparently not,
The bathtub and the shower—both
laughably obsolete, it seems—are to
be supplanted in the not distant
future by a spray which will douse
the bather with a mist so fine that
not one drop of it will drip off. This
fragmentary dampness, together with
such dirt as has been knocked loose,
will be removed with paper- towels.
The advantages of the new bath
ing arrangement are readily seen.
One drain will be eliminated, and
the job of keeping the bathroom tidy
will be much simpler. Yet one has a
melancholy suspicion that there is
more here than meets the eye. Per
haps the next step, already planned,
is to convert the bathroom into a
coal bin or a smoking lounge and
send us all to the dry cleaner’s.
To such devlopments as these must
be added the sober proposal to in
stall an ice-skating rink on the roof;
the plan to substitute disappearing,
sound-proof curtains for doors; the
disquieting suggestion that the ideal
hoihe of the future will be built atop
a steel mast, where it will revolve,
like a pinwheel, to meet sun and
breeze.
In the end it may turn out that
our only refuge from all this creative
exuberance will be found in the
courts. Mist baths and houses perch
ed on steel masts may not be actual
ly unconstitutional, but there are
those who feel that the matter should
be brought to test.
THE BAREFOOT BOY
The number of barefoot boys has
declined by millions since the alleg
ed decadence of American villages.
Sixty years ago a village boy in
shoes was hard to find in June*—as
hard as it is to find a boy in red-top
boots in January.
That the happiness of boys has de
clined in proportion goes withput
saying. Both disappearances hkve
been a real misfortune. What old
man who did not live as a boy in a
city has forgotten when he first ven
tured forth with tender feet upon the
cool, welcome earth, when his cloth
ing consisted of short pants button
ed to a waist, and a cheap straw hat?
It was a wholesome and healthful ex
perience that had only one drawback,
the inevitable washing of the dirty
feet before getting between the
white sheets when darkness came!
And the red-topped, copper-toed
boots of winter. What a joy they
were when snow came, and sledding
was the order of the day! What
would we not sacrifice now to be a
barefoot boy again? dr to parade
proudly in red-topped boots? What
evil influence was it that put an end
to boots for boys? or for men? There
never was such foot comfort as boots
gave men fifty years ago—warm in
winter and cool in summer. —Ex-
change.
Proprietor—Any orders while I
was out?
Clerk—Yes. A man came in and
ordered me to put up my hands
while he emptied the cash register.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL
CAPITOL
(By E. B. Betts)
On August Bth, the State of Ari
zona, by a vote of 3 to 1, voted
to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment
to the Federal Constitution. This is
the 21st state to vote for repeal.
Fifteen more states are necessary
for it to become a law of the United
States. On the same date an election
was held to fill the vacancy caused by
Hon. L. W. Douglas resigning to be
come director of the federal budget
in President F. D. Roosevelt’s admin
istration. Mrs. Idabella Greenway,
national committeewoman for Ari
zona, was nominated in the democra
tic primary, over Hon. Harlan Akeis,
young Phoenix attorney, and Hon.
William Coxan, former secretary of
the Arizona Corporation Commission.
Her nomination is equvalent to elec
tion, as no Republican was in the
field.

Hon. G. C. Adams, Commissioner
of Agriculture of Georgia, was a
prominent visitor at the Capitol on
August 10. Mr. Adams was elected
in the Democratic primary of Sept.
14, 1932. His first campaign was
managed by Hon. G. D. Bennett in
1928. Mr. Bennett is now a citizen
of Athens, Ga. He formerly lived in
Jackson county, near Apple Valley.
He served two terms in the Georgia
Legislature from Jackson county
during the days of Democracy vs.
Populism in 1894 and 1896. He was
elected with Hon. L. F. Sell, of
Hoschton, Ga.
Hon. Harry P. Beam, of the Fourth
District of Illinois, arrived in the
District of Columbia last week to
spend a month at the Wardman
Park Hotel. He is very popular on
Capitol Hill.
‘EDUCATED’
Dr. Wiggam, eminent psychologist
and author, has been trying his hand
at defining “the educated man.”
Here is the result:
He keeps his mind open on every
question until the evidence is all in.
He has in him the Greek spirit of
instable inquiry, the Roman spirit of
teamwork, and the Christian spirit
of devotion to social welfare.
He always listens to the man who
knows.
He never laughs at new ideas.
He has the secret of getting along
with other people.
He cultivates the habit of success.
He knows that as a man thinketh
so is he.
He knows that popular notions are
invariably wrong.
He cannot he sold magic.
He links himself with a great
cause.
He fits his ambitions to his abili
ties.
He always tries to feel the emo
tions he should feel.
He keeps busy at his highest nat
ural level.
He knows that it is never too late
to learn.
He never loses faith in the man he
might have been.
He has a world outlook.
He lives a religious life.
With these qualifications a man
may be said to be culturally equip
ped for life, even for the practical
affairs of life.
When the school teachers find out
that they have been tricked and
humbugged there will be a growing
tide of resentment over the reduction
in the ad valorem tax rate. The
twenty per cent cut, ordered by the
governor, will save the big compa
nies thousands of dollars and the av
erage citizen not tnore than a dollar.
Practically all the “saving” will be
at the expense of the teachers. Butts
county, for instance, will save about
$1,500 and lose about $5,000, near
ly all of which went to operate the
public schools.—Jackson Progress-
Argus.
