the County Home one of the gradu-

and supervision of the county physi

after the sick, crippled and infirm of
the Home.
We of the Home wish through
your paper to express our appreci
ation of the term of Dr. F. P. Hol
der, whose time expires July 1.
Dr. Holder, during his stay with
us, has taken our interest at heart,
given each individual case his entire
attention and his whole medical
training, and we wish to express our
highest appreciation.
There are very few who would
give their time and knowledge so
generously, as there is little compen
sation attached to the place. Dr.
Holder has been a god-send to the
institution.
Situated as he has been, complet
ing his studies at the college, requii’-
ing his attendance every day, Dr.
Holder was always willing and ready
to respond to any call, at any hour,
during the night, either at the Home
or the surrounding neighborhood.
Although a young man, he has
shown the mentality of a man twice
his age, and has handled the situa
tion as well as an old experienced
physicain.
Dr. Holder’s work will always be
remembered. We regret to have
him leave, but we know he will go
far in his chosen profession. And
with him goes onr best wishes, May
he have all the success in life he may
wish for.

HAVE - BEEN READING HERALD
59 YEARS
Editor of The Jackson Herald,
Jefferson, Ga.—My husband was at
tending school at old “Martin Insti
tute’’ when The Herald began its
career in 1875, under the name of
“The Forest News.” He subscribed
for it then, and we have taken it
continuously since. 69 years, read
ing the same paper, seems a long
time, and altho there are left only
a few familiar names recorded from
my old home town on its pages, still
it has become like a member of my
family, and I would miss it if it fail
ed to come. So am enclosing check
for another year’s subscription.
“You may break, you may shatter
the vase if you will,
But the scent of the roses will hang
round it still.”
Most sincerely,
Mrs. W. H. Nunnally.

Dreams That Rcosevelt Sent Him a
Farm Mule And Learns It’s True
Sparta, Ga.—Jerry Andrews, ne
gro farmer, dreamed that President
Roosevelt sent him a mule and came
to town to get it.
Sure enough when executives of

serving farmers, Jerry Andrews’
name was there. He had been ap
proved as head of .a farm family
needi tg; a mule and other farm sup
plied to make a crop.
Out to the mule lot went Jerry.
He took the halter off a mule which
“looked most like the one I saw in
my dream” and went .home rejoicing.
“Mr. President Roosevelt is the
greatest friend the poor man ever
had and God will certain bless him,”
he remarked before leaving.

PITTMAN SEES
LOSS IN POWER
FOR TALMADGE
Camilla, Ca., June 16.—Speaking
before a tremendous gathering hero
Saturday that assembled citizens of
a dozen counties, Judge Claude C.
Pittman, brnging his governorship
campaign into southwest Georgia,
declared “The myth that Eugene
Talmadge is invincible is rupidly dis
sipating into thin air.”
“That balloon of Talmadge pro
paganda has been punctured,” he
told an audience of approximately
5,000 persons who gathered to hear
him launch his campaign in this sec
tion of the state. More than 1,700
automobiles by actual count brought
visitors to the meeting.
The judge came to Camilla at the
invitation of the active “Pittman
for-Governor Club” that has been
formed in Mitchell County and he
was given an enthusiastic reception
as he outlined the platform on which
he is making the race for governor
and delivered a vigorous attack on
Governor Talmadge for what he
termed the “gross deception the Tal
madge administration has perpetrat
ed upon the people of Georgia.”
Balks At Farm Aid
Judge Pittman scored the gover
nor for “posing as a friend of the
farmer, while he opposes and tries to
block every effort made by Presi
dent Roosevelt to bring prosperity
back to the farm.”
“The governor claims to love ev
ery farmer in Georgia from the bot
tom of his heart, and is forever pro
claiming that he has done wonders
for the folks who earn their living
from the soil,” the judge declared,
“but just go back over tfie record
and try to find what real benefits
the farmers of Georgia have receiv
ed at his hands. He has made plen
ty of promises and claims to have
their interests at heart, but his re
cord is barren of real accomplish
ments for the farmers of this state.
His attitude in opposing President
Roosevelt’s recovery program, which
is founded on agricultural and in
dustrial readjustment, shows the
governor’s complete lack of under
standing of farm problems and his
obstinate refusal to <jo-operate in a
constructive program that will put
Georgia farmers back on their feet.”
Corn, Potato Profits
Judge Pittman charged that Tal
madge had sold produce from his
Telfair County farm to county pri
son camps at prices in excess of
those at which the food could have
been purchased locally.
Judge Pittman said that on one
occasion 700 bushels of corn from
the Talmadge farm had been pur
chased at a price’ of 75 cents per
bushel, shipped to a convict camp
and then hauled ten miles in high
way trucks. He said the fregiht was
sllO, and added that the warden of
the camp had been buying corn from
local farmers “at 55 cents and less a
bushel.”
He said also that from 500 to 1,-
000 bushels of sweet potatoes were
ordered shipped to a convict camp
from the Talmadge farm, but it was
discovered that only 50 bushels were
sound enough to ship. Thse pota
toes were shipped from Scotland to
Bullard, Ga., by rail.
“Potatoes were then selling at
from 35 to 50 cents per bushel, but
Talmadge got from 90 cents to $1
per bushel for his potatoes. The
original vouchers for the com and
potatoes are in the Highway Depart
ment files, in the Highway Building
in Atlanta, Ga., and can be examin
ed by any interested person.
