Roosevelt Holds Loyalty,
Digest Poll Reveals
New York.—Four out of five per
sons who voted for Franklin D.
Roosevelt in 1932 still are loyal to
him, and one out of every three who
favored Herbert Hoover have swung
over to the New Deal, it was reveal
ed in the Literary Digest poll Sat
urday as balloting passed the million
mark.
Out of a total of 1,169,827 votes,
727,700 favored Mr. Roosevelt’s poli
cies.
Vermont was the only state in
which the chief executive did not
obtain a majority. Seven states
voted three to one for the New Deal,
ten others favored it two to one,
and twenty-eight states gave the
chief executive a greater ratio than
they did in 1932.
The heaviest trend to the Presi
dent from Mr. Hoover was in the
northwestern states and .Ohio, Ore
gon, Kentucky and West Virginia.
Twenty states returned _ a smaller
ratio for Mr. Roosevelt than at his
election.
Returns from colleges showed a
favorable ratio of 64 per cent, in
more than 13,000 ballots. The great
est was at the University of Wiscon
sin, with 72 per cent, and the small
est at the University of Illinois, 57
per cent.
CARRIER WEARS OUT 6 HORSES
AND COVERS MORE THAN 224,-
075 MILES DURING SERVICE
After wearing out six horses and
traveling approximately 224,075
miles in carrying the United States
mails, Julia M. Shafer is going to
settle down and do a little real trav
eling—on the train.
One of the first regular women
mail carriers in the United States,
Miss Shafer served a rural route
near Knoxville, Md., for 30 years.
And what snow and rain and storm
couldn’t do during those 30 years
the government has done. It has
stopped her from carrying the mails;
it has retired her.
Long before automobiles began
scaring the horses and cattle along
the roadside, Miss Shafer was cluck
ing to her horse into the dawn six
mornings a week, carrying letters,
seed packets and catalogues.
If her horse could not pull her
through she shouldered the mail
pouch and walked for help, because
the mails could not be stopped. She
rode nearly 25 miles a day, and
many times it was night before she
returned home.

A Poem On Africa
(From Athens Barnner-Herald)
Jimmie Storey, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Storey, decided to write
about Africa when he wrote a geo
graphy poem in his class at Chase
Street school. Here ’tis:
Northern Africa with its desert
sands
Is most covered with caravan bands,
They eat for food, milk and dates,
And do not have any pies and cakes.
In central Africa where the jungles
are thick,
The natives hunt with knives and
In Southern Africa are diamonds
and gold,
And the climate there is almost
cold.
JEFFERSON, Jackson County, Georgia.

GINNERS ATTEND CONFERENCE
IN ATLANTA
Messrs. H. S. Fite, J. A. Johnson,
I. W. Ethridge and other ginners of
this county attended a meeting in
Atlanta last week, where they con
ferred with representatives of the
Department of Agriculture of the
United States concerning rules and
regulations for operators of ginner
ies this year. A majority of the
ginners insisted on fixing a flat
price for ginning, but presiding of
ficials of the Federal Government
explains that “price fixing” is not
permitted.
Whether or not the type of gin
ning used should be standardized
was a scource of considerable dis
agreement. Most of the ginners
were of the opinion that the bagging
should be of good grade, but that
the ginner should get a net profit of
at least 25 ( cents on it.
The conference, which was hejd in
the old postoffice, building, was one
of a series in progress in the south
and southwest through which federal
authorities hope to smooth the way
for cotton growers.
Mrs. Miller Stockton and little
daughter, Virginia, of Palataka, Fla.,
spent some time last week with Mrs.
J. W. Stockton.
WARM SPRINGS 4TH
TO OVERSHADOW ALL
POLITICAL RALLIES
Georgia s gubernatorial campaign
which already has aroused the peo
ple of the state to a fever of inter
est unprecedented ten weeks prior
to the primary will be' overshadowed
on Independence Day, July 4. by a
gigantic raliy as testimonial of his
adopted state’s faith in President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The rally assembling what is ex
pected to be the largest crowd in
the history of the state, will be stag
ed at. Warm Springs, the part-time
home of the President and the locale
of the “Little White House” of the
nation.
Judge Claude Pittman, of Carters
ville, candidate for Governor and an
outspoken champion of the Presi
dent and his policies which has
meant so much to the welfare of
Georgia and the people, will be
principal speaker.
Judge Pittman’s address will be
patriotic in nature, dealing largely
with the national administration and
the great strides that have been
made in the 16 months since Roose
velt’s inauguration. He will pay
tribute to Roosevelt and will call
upon the people of Georgia to con
tinue to give whole-hearted support
to the man who was chosen to lead
the nation out of the greatest eco
nomic depression it lias ever felt.
The address will begin at 11
o’clock, and will be fallowed by a
huge barbecue and picnic. Thou
sands of Georgians in celebration of
the signing of the Declaration of In
dependence 158 years ago will make
the‘journey to Warm Springs with
their families. *
While Judge Pittman is speaking
at Warm Springs, William Schley
Howard, former congressman and
an outstanding Georgia leader for
30 years, will be guest speaker at
another rally at Lithia Springs, in
Douglas County, only a short dis
tance from Atlanta.
Noted as one of the most out
standing stump speakers the state
has produced, Colonel Howard will
“tell the truth about the Talmadge
administration” and is expected to
expose policies which have been de
clared destructive to the entire state
and the state government.
Colonel Howard earlier in the
spring made two addresses in which
he favored a constructive program
of taxation and support of schools,
and has been outspoken in his criti
cism of the Talmadge administration.
Urged to make the race himself, he
announced when Claude Pittman en
tered the race that he would support
the Cartersville jurist.
Judge Pittman, who in four pre
vious addresses has had audiences
totaling approximately 20,000, will
make his fifth campaign speech Fri
day, June 29, at Augusta. Ar
rangements for the Pittman rally
are in charge of Richmond county
friends who have reported that in
dications point to another enthusias
tic throng as an audience.
Reports coming into Pittman
headquarters in Atlanta emphasize
the earliest belief that the campaign
he is taking “straight to the people”
is sweeping the state, and no candi
date in recent history has been as
sured of more enthusiastic and ac
tive support from all sections ol
Georgia.
RITES AT KENNESAW
TO HONOR UNKNOWN
SOLDIER OF SIXTIES
Exercises commemorating the Un
known Solier of the War Between
the States will be held July 1 at 3
o’clock at the Kennesaw Mountain
National Battlefield, with high mili
tary officials of the state and na
tion participating.
iSeveral months ago the remains
of an unknown soldier were uncov
ered on the battlefield at Kennesaw.
Seventy years after the battle exer
cises enshrining this “unknown
soldier” of the conflict will be held.
The battle site today is in a re
markable state of preservation. In
tricate Confederate breastworks,
built by negroes pressed into ser
vice, successfully withstood the
heavy bombardment of the Union
forces and may be seen today.
The public is invited to attend the
exercises.
Rev. and Mrs. T. D. Johnston and
Miss Elizabeth Johston were guests
of friends in Greensboro on Thurs
day.

Bishop W. A. Candler
Honored At Banquet
At the Biltmoro Hotel in Atlanta
one night last week a banquet was
given in honor of Bishop W. A.
Candler. High tribute was paid him
by a number of Georgia’s most dis
tinguished men. In response, Bish
op Candler said some very brilliant
and philosophic utterances. Among
other this, he said:
“I am going to preach until I die;
and I am going to put off dying as
long as I can.”
“I am reminded of the young
man who was courting with ardor
and told his beloved of the incom
parable beauty of her person and
soul. Her reply was: ‘I don’t believe
a word of it; but I love to hear it.”
“You talk about depression,” the
Bishop continued, “hut you really
don’t know anything about depres
sions. I was born in 1857, a panic
year. I went to Emory in 1873, an
other panic year. I recall that dur
ing the commencement exercises my
sophomore year three of us used the
same coat in which to make our
speeches. On my first circuit as a
preacher, 1 had a saw-back horse and
a slls salary. I earned all of the
salary except about $100.”
“I have been without sectarian
sharpness,” Bishop Candler said. “As
a matter of fact, I had to, because
I had three sisters; one a Presby
terian, another a Baptist and anoth
er a Methodist. One Candler, I am
told, was a Quakeress, and she
preached. No other Candler woman
that I know of has gone in for
preaching.”
Other observations made by the
bishop were:
... “I was one of eleven chil
dren. Ours was not one of these lit
tle retail families.”
“. . . We seem to be getting back
to the Paradisic state. The Bible
says that Adam and Eve, in paradise,
were naked —and not ashamed.”
“. . . John Wesley was great in
many things, but he didn’t know how
to court or how to marry. He tried
three different times. He missed
out twice and got the wrong one
the third time.”
“. . . I am not a pacifist. You
can’t do without soldiers any more
than you can do without policemen.”
“. . . A man who doesn’t have a
Bible and a volume of Uncle Remus
cannot hope to bring up a family
right.”
“We are going to have more pros
perous times than we have ever
had,” Bishop Candler said. “But
wealth has never made a people; and
poverty has never rained one.
“What shall we do with our wealth
unless we have a spiritual life strong
enough to control our material pos
sessions?” i
“Many of my old comrades are
gone, but if the River Jordan was
flowing by this table tonight I do
not know whether I would rather go
over and join those who have passed
along or stay with you dear friends
here.”
‘I have a request to make of
you,” Bishop Candler said.
“When I go away, take this little
body to my beloved Oxford and lay
it there in the little cemetery beside
Atticus G. Haygood, Alexander
Means, 'Ignatius Few and the others.
“I think I would enjoy eternity
better lying close to where they
slumber.”
There was a hush of reverence as
the bishop sat down.
It is unlikely that any other At
lantian has received a tribute so
warm, so friendly, so touched with
real emotion.
