Ordinance Against Chickens
Running At Large
Be it ordained by the Mayor and
Council of the City of Jefferson,
that no person, or persons, shall per
mit their chickens, turkeys or fouls
of any kind to run at large, but
shall keep them confined on their
own premises. Any person violating
this ordinance, upon conviction
thereof shall be fined as prescribed
in section 42 of the ordinances of
said City.
This 4th day of June, 1934.
Geo. W. Westmoreland,
Mayor.
There are more complaints to us
about people breaking this ordinance
than any other ordinance we have.
Good people who do not have a gar
den, and who do not want one, will
deliberately turn their chickens out
to destroy their neighbors gardens,
without any regard to property
rights, or to the observance of the
law.
If one could hear what others say
of them who violate this ordinance,
and in so doing disregard the rights
of those who obey it, it would seem
that any action from us would not
be necessary. However, if law and
order and the rights of others mean
nothing to you, there is nothing left
for us to do but protect our law
abiding citizens by enforcing this
ordinance, even though it takes the
arrest of all violators.
Respectfully,
Mayor. and Council.
HCW TO KILL WEED TASTE IN
MILK
We hear numerous complaints
that certain weed in pastures that
cows eat is rendering the milk and
butter useless, on account of the bad
taste. This can be overcome by a
formula that we have just located.
It has been tried out, and, if used
according to instructions, the milk
will be O. K. Here it is: 1 lb. salt,
5 cents worth of sulphur, 1-2 gallon
char coal, and one 5c box of soda.
Mix ingredients thoroughly and give
each cow 1 table spoonful TWICE
a day.—Gainesville News.

take particular notice of the antics
of his old friend, Brother Stork, last
week.
One night last week he was called
out in a hurry to a home near Mays
ville. Shortly afterwards he was
announcing to the proud father,
“They’re boys!”
He went back to his home to get
a good night’s sleep. But that was
not to be. Within eight hours he
was again called out a second time.
This time the twins were girls.

L. D. Loggins, and the twin daugh
ters of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lynch,
who are all doing well and yelling
lustily, may celebrate their four
birthdays on the same day. And Dr.
Deadwyler, well, he’s just a little
more surprised- than usual.
But to cap the climax, Old Man
Stork hurried down to Nicholson
May 22, and with the assistance of
Dr. G. O. Castellaw, presented Mr.
and Mrs. Herbert Baird with two
fine baby girls.

PITTMAN DECLARES
TALMADGE IS TRYING
TO ‘STICK’ TAXPAYERS
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance)
Chaining Governor Tslmadge and
his henchmen ’ with a conspiracy to
finance their campaign out of the
state treasury and at the expense of
tax papers. Claude Pittman, the
governor’s opponent, returned to his
home in Cartersville this week and
began plans for other speaking en
gagements in his campaign for the
governorship.
Announcement was made that the
next speech will be at Carrollton
next Saturday afternoon at 3
o clock, to be followed by an ad
dress at Camilla Saturday week,
June 16, at 11 a. m., eastern stand
ard time. Other engagements in
the Pittman campaign to carry the
issue straight to the people will be
announced later.
The statement charging efforts to
saddle upon the tax payers expense
in connection with the opening
speech of Talmadge was issued from
headquarters in Atlanta when
Claude Pittman returned from the
annual meeting of the State Bar
Association.
When asked about his Swainsboro
address, Judge Pittman expressed
gratification over the reception ac
corded him when he addressed a
crowd of more than 3,000 in that
city on Wednesday, May 30.
The Swainsboro address was re
ceived with as much enthusiasm as
the first speech delivered at Calhoun
in his native county of Gordon,
four days before, although the anti
cipated attendance was cut consider
ably by steady rains which swept
the section for several days.
A number of Talmadge “hench
men” were reported in the crowd at
Swainsboro, but since their poor
success at heckling Pittman at Cal
houn, they restricted their activities
to circulating in the crowd and ha
rassing the listeners. The Swains
boro police intervened on several oc
casions and ordered the crowd of
hecklers to remain quiet or leave
the scene.
Prominent residents of Emanuel
county reported that representatives
of 25 counties heard Judge Pittman
speak, and predicted that all of the
surrounding counties would be in the
Pittman column by overwhelming
majorities.
The statement from the Claude
Pittman headquarters follows:
“The ‘House of Talmadge’ is re
sorting to desperate efforts to insure
a large crowd at the governor’s op
ening speech at Bainbridge on July
4, and as usual, they are planning
to let the tax payers foot the bill.
“It is reported that State em
ployees operating automobiles are
being urged to fill their cars with
voters and carry them on July 4 to
the scene where Talmadge will
‘formally launch’ his campaign for
re-election.
“State employees operating auto
mobiles on State business are given
an allowance of five cents for every
mile traveled.
“Therefore, there is no telling
just how much one Talmadge speech
would cost the tax payers as the re
sult of State employees driving to
Bainbridge on the usual five cents a
mile expense basis. Certainly the
cost would amount to a very con
siderable sum.
“The word that is being passed a
long to employees is generally con
ceded to be a command to appear,
initiated by the chief executive
himself. If the plans the ‘House of
Talmadge’ is making for the Bain
bridge speech should go through as
planned by the Talmadge supporters,
every State employee would be as
sembled at the South Georgia city
after giving free rides to the gover
nor’s backers at public expense.
“The people of Georgia may be
willing to finance Governor Tal
madge’s campaign, but if they are,
the funds should be raised and con
tributed privately, and should not
come out of the State Treasury.
“The Pittman headquarters con
tinue to receive gratifying pledges
of support from all sections of
Georgia. Both the Calhoun and
Swainsboro speeches of Claude Pitt
man made profound impressions all
over the State, and the response has
been gratifying and enthusiastic.”

YOUTHFUL GEORGIA
BANDITS CAUGHT;
LOOT IS RECOVERED
Perry, Ga., June I.—The law
worked fast today to capture two
young bank bandits and recover
their loot.
A few hours after the Planters
Bank of Hawkinsville was robbed,
Sheriff C. C. Pierce and four depu
ties captured two men near here
who had with them $12,511.00, al
legedly taken from the bank.
The men were identified as Char
les Muse, 22, a Macon grocery clerk
and Cleo Areorn, 26, Columbus.
Sheriff Pierce said they admitted
robbing the Hawkinsville bank.
Muse was quoted by the sheriff as
saying he was driven to the robbery
because he needed money for an
operation. Neither of the men had
a previous criminal record so far as
local officers knew.
The bandits forced two bank offi
cials and a customer to lie on the
floor while they looted the bank
vault. They sped away in a wait
ing automobile.
Racing into this county the rob
bers passed a car driven by a man
named Nolan, a few minutes before
their machine crossed into a ditch.
Nolan stopped to aid in the wreck
and the bandits, uninjured, forced
him, his mother and his father out
of his car, jumped into it and re
sumed their flight.
Then Sheriff Pierce and his dep
uties got on the trail. The bandits
made a wrong turn and they found
themselves on a little used country
road, where they abandoned the
stolen machine. Close on their
trail, the officers chased them into
a negro cabin where they offered no
resistance to capture.
Besides the money found on the
men were two pistols and a shotgun.
The car in which bandits fled
from Hawkinsville was burned after
the wreck. Sheriff Pierce said Muse
and Areorn admitted setting it a
fire.
The wrecked automobile was stol
en yesterday irl Macon from James
King.
Muse and ‘Areorn were held in
jail here tonight for Hawkinsville
officers.
GRAY-CLAD HOSTS
TO MEET AGAIN ON
OLD BATTLEFIELD
Chattanooga, Tenn.—Though their
legs are wearier now than they were
back in the 60’s, and the weight of
years bears heavily upon their
shoulders, the hosts of the Confed
eracy are preparing once more to
take the death-ridden battlefields of
this historic southern city.
About 1,600 of the gray-garbed
old soldiers, including many who
followed the Stars and Bars at
Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge
and Chickamauga, “the River of
Death,” will arrive next weeif from
as far away ‘ as California for the
forty-fourth annual reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans. Be
ginning Wednesday, the reunion will
continue through Friday.
There have been reports here and
elsewhere that) this would be the
last great gathering of America’s
oldest soldiers, but these are vigor
ously put down by the veterans’
leaders.
“As long as there are two Con
federate veterans alive,” said Quar
termaster General Charles A. De
Saussure, of Memphis, Tenn., “we
will meet in annual reunion. In our
hearts there remains the yearning
to get together.”
WEBB—HOLLAND
Announcement has been made of

garet Beryl Copelan of Greensboro
and Mr. Roper B. David of Comer.
Rev. Harry Lee Smith, a close
friend and school mate of Mr. David,

and Mr. and Mrs. Richey England,
Jr., of Atlanta, were guests Thurs
day of Mrs. C. O. Brock.

DROUGHT TO SEND
CATTLE TO SOUTH
Serious droughts in portions of
the middle west makes the move
ment of livestock, possibly into the
South, necessary immediately.
Information from Washington to
day said that drought in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
Nebraska and eastern New Mexico
makes the move imperative. C. W.
Warhurton, federal director of ex
tension, wired that it was impossible
to move the stock into the corn belt
because that section “has seriously
curtailed hay and small grain acre
age.”
In view of the south and Georgia
being deficient in livestock, he asked
for a statement of the possibilities
of this “state as an outlet for the
surplus.”
Program of The All-Day
Singing at Mt. Olive
Sunday, May 27th, was a great
day in the history of Mt. Olive
church, and we trust a great day of
worship and praise in song service
to our Lord and Master. Professors
of music, music writers and many
good leaders and singers were pres
ent. This great gathering was esti
mated at fifteen hundred people.
The singing could not have been ex
celled by any convention. As they
sang, with tears welling up in their
eyes and trickling down their faces,
many of them were ljfting their
hearts and souls in praise to their
God and Redeemer, in song. In the
long years ago, when the souls of
the people were made happy, they
would shout their praises and hallau
jah’s to God, but now if they shout
His praise, it is only through song.
Following is the morning pro

Vol. 59. No. 48w
Southern Banner for 1858
Is Prized Possession of
Citizen of Commerce
(By W. H. Ussery)
Commerce.—One of the priced
possessions of W. 11. Garrison, 74,
is a copy of the Southern Banner of
November 14, 1850, left him by hit*
father-in-law, W. R. Haygood, who
worked for the paper when ho vets
a young man. Mr. Haygood died at
the age of 76, and, lived in Jackson
county.
The most heated discussion cun
sidered by this issue of the paper ia
that of leaving the union. Unionists
and dis-unionists fill column after
column with discussion. A meeting
held in Danielsville on October 6 was
held by friends of the Union, and
resolutions presented by Judge
Willis Strickland defending federal
acts and approving the stands taken
by “the Hon. Howell Cobb, upon the
subject of the slavery and territorial
questions. Also, the Hon. Robert
Toombs and A. H. Stephens” were
passed.
Similar meetings were held at
Gainesville, November 5, and in
Clarkesville on the same day, as well
as in Carnesville.
Judge C. Dougherty seems to
have been the leader of the “Dts
unionists— Fire-eaters Resistantri**
and answers charges that he and the
party are for secession in a letter
stating that he merely wants the
Southern Atlantic states to unite
and demand their rights. Editorial
comment points out that Judge
Dougherty ami the Disunionists are
backing out. A “Proclamation of
Absalom Trickum,” written in satiric
vein, ridiculing the Disunionists by
carrying their ideas to the extreme,
is published in this issue.
Instructions by Mr. Trickum
read, in part: “You are hereby com
manded personally or by substitute

ter) to be and appear at the Valley

MERCHANDISING UNDER
DIFFICULTIES
The following amusing article was
taken from an issue of the Gaines
ville Eagle published April 5, 18R3,
51 years ago:
“Mr. J. H. Hunt, of our city, one©
sold goods at Poter Spiring*. In
some way he became possessed of
only the small tract of land upon
which the store was situated. A
person who did not wish him well
owned the surrounding lands, and
closely enclosed his store with a
high paling fence, leaving only a
very small gate in front of the
store door to get in and out of the
enclosure. The fence was torn down
by Mr. Hunt, but as speedily re
placed. Mr. H. did not interfere
with his enemy any more but it *aa
a strange sight to see a first class
store penned in such a manner. To
attract the attention of pas.sersfcy,
Mr. Hunt was forced to climb a
large pine tree that stood in the
yard and hang his goods upon it*
branches.”
