JEFFERSON, GA.. JULY 5. 1934.
OUR NATION’S BIRTHDAY,
JULY 4TH, 1776
Our second president, John Adams,
poured out his very soul in support
of the Declaration of Independence
before the document was signed. We
quote herewith:
“But whatever may be our fate,
be assured that this Declaration will
stand. It may cost treasure, and It
may cost blood, but it will stand,
and it will richly compensate for
both. Through the thick gloon\ of
the present, I see the brightness of
the future, as the sun in heaven. We
shall make this a glorious, an im
mortal day. When we are in our
graves, our children will honor it.
They will celebrate it with thanks
giving, with festivity, with bonfires
and illuminations. On its annual re
turn, they will tears, copious,
gushing tears, not of subjection and
slavery, not of agony and distress,
but of exultation, of gratitude and
joy. Sir, before God, I believe the
hour is come. My judgment ap
proves this measure, and my
heart is in it. All that I have, and
all that I am, and all that I hope, in
this life, I am now ready here to
stake upon it. And I leave off as
I began, that, live ox die, survive or
perish, lam for the Declaration. It
is my living sentiment, and by the
blessing of God it shall be my dy
ing sentiment.
“Independence now, and Indepen
dence forever!”
There is not a real American who
does not thrill at the story of how
colonial leaders affixed their signa
tures to the Declaration of Indepen
dence—the document which gave
birth to our mighty nation. Let us
stimulate a greater spirit of patriot- j
ism, and thereby deal telling blows!
to those in America who seek to un
dermine our constitution.
GEORGIA MARBLE FIRM
GETS HEADSTONE ORDER
Tate, Ga.—The war department
has just awarded a contract to the
Georgia Marble Company to furnish
10,000 headstones of a special design
which are to he erected at the grave
•of any man who was killed in action
or who has died since participating
in any war in which the United
States has been involved. Most of
these headstones are for the World
War soldiers, Confederate head
stones are next largest in number
snd Spanish-American third. There
are occasional requests for Rcvolu
tionaiy War and the War of 1812
headstones.
The Georgia Marble Company has
furnished approximately 50,000 of
these headstones in the last five
years. During the past year these
stones have been shipped into 40
states and some foreign countries.
They are made of white Georgia
marble quarried at Tate and cut ac
cording to the government’s specifi
cations. The atones for veterans of
different wars are of different de
sign and have an emblem cut on the
face to denote the particular war in
which the SQlider fought.
Citing an old story of the man
biting the dog, Mr. John K. Ottley,
president of the First National Bank
©f Atlanta, in a speech to the Geor
gia Press Association in Savannah,
said: "It is news when a bank fails,
but it is not news when Georgia has
334 banks and 17 branches with
their doors wide open doing business
as usual. Two of these banks are
69 years old. Thirteen have been
operating for over half u century,
through three severe depressions,
including the most recent, during
which the value of listed stock de
clined 90%, bonds <50%, commodi
ties 65 %, and the only investment
worth one hundred cents on the
dollar was deposits in sound banks.”
During July 3.301 Georgia youths
between the ages of 18 and 25 will
be recruited for Citizens Conserva
tion Corps camps in this state.
There are thirty-two ramps in the
state now. Recruiting depots will
be in Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Sa
vannah, Albany, Valdosta, Warm
Springs, Blue Ridge, Eton, Homer
ville, Brunswick, Soperton, Baxley,
Thomasville, Butler, Athens and
Clayton. Each recurit will enlist
Joy a period of six months.
BUSINESS GAINS MAINTAINED
IN SOUTH
The return of prosperity in the
1 south continues its steady march, ac
j cording to figures in the May review
| of conditions issued by the Federal
! Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
Department store sale* for the first
J five month* of 1934, in the sixth
i federal reserve district, have in-
I creased 36.5 per cent over the same
I period in 1933, while in Atlanta the
I increase for the same period has
J been 32.6 per cent.
These figures are taken from the
I monthly review of conditions in the
sixth district made public Thursday
i by the Federal Reserve Bank of At
lanta.
Greatest advance for the year is
shown in building activities, building
permits having jumped 112.2 per
cent while contract awards show a
gain for the year, to date, of 193.8
per cent.
The month of May shows advan
ces in store sale, wholesale trade,
textiles and pig iron and coal pro
duction when compared with April,
while all show substantial increases
over May, 1933, with the exeception
of textiles.
TABLET TO HARRIS
Cedartown, Ga.—A bronze tablet
stands in a little sunken garden
here in memory of the late Senator
William J. Harris. It was unveiled
with tributes to the former senator
from numerous prominent Georgians
as 2,000 persons looked on.
Clark Howell, editor and president
of the Atlanta Constitution, present
ed the tablet on behalf of the Cedar
Valley Garden Club and it was ac
cepted by Prof. James C. Harris of
Cave Springs, a brother of the sena
tor. Miss Julia Harris, the senator’s
daughter, unveiled the plaque, which
marks the spot where Mr. Harris’
funeral was held two years ago.
It was the writer’s privilege to be
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. P.
Davis in Harrisburg district Satur
day when he was having his grain
threshed, and the dinner served was
as tempting as ever delighted the
tasle of man. And the commend
able part about it was that every
item served, except salt, pepper and
sugar, was produced on Mr. Davis’
farm. Mr. and Mrs. Davis are model
farmers. A few years ago they pur
chased a small farm on a credit, and
paid for it with produce grown on
the farm. They have bought other
lands and paid for these, built a
eommondious home, raised a fine
family, and educated their children.
This is all the result of industry,
economy, good management, but
especially because they not only
make a living on their farm, but
market a surplus of their produce.
In his opening speech for Commis
sioner of Agriculture last week, Tom
Linder said that Sisk, an opponent,
should not be elected because he is a
towyesr; Sutton, another opponent,
is a veterinarian, and knows little of
farm conditions; G. C. Adams, the
present incumbent, is incompetent;
and Columbus Roberts is a million
aire manufacturer and owner of
power company stock. Linder did
not tell of his own short comings, if
he has any, nor give any reason why
he should be elected to this office.
The contest for the position of
postmaster' in Athens, beginning
with thirteen applicants, has nar
rowed down to three, these having
received notification as eligible tor
the post mastership. The three cer
tified are J. R. Myers, Dr. J. K.
Patrick and DeLeon Southerland.
Neither of them is a native born
Georgian. Usual procedure is for
the commission to certify to the
Postmaster General the names of
three eligible candidates from which
one is chosen as the final selection.
The Postmaster General, before he
announces the appointment, usually
confers with the congressman from
the district in which the post office
is located, m this case Congressman
Paul Brown of Elberton.
A Methodist preacher’s daughter,
Miss Margaret Barrett, daughter of
Rev. G. W. Barrett, former pastor of
the church in Commerce, was award
ed first place in a state-wide contest
writing an essay “Life on the. Farm
Under the New Deal.” We doubt if
Miss Barrett ever spent as much as a
month on a farm.
The Branham family will hold its
annual reunion at the ancestral
home at Oxford, today, July 4, and
over 100 members of the clan from
all over Georgia and from other
states are expected. Bishop Warren
A. Candler, a close friend of the
family, is expected to be present.

Women voters in Georgia now
are campaigning for the privilege of
serving on juriea. After this privi

do as the men do—dodge jury ser-

Change of Front
It ia our candid and honest opin
j ion, judging from the change of
; front that has come under our
knowledge, that those who still be
lieve that Governor Talmadge is in
I control of a majority of the votes of
j Georgia, are due to receive the
' greateat surprise of (their life.
Things are changing, and changing
rapidly, and without a great rever
sal, Mr. Talmadge is due for a great
awakening. Swainsboro Forest

Drunken Drivers
A Chicago judge recently imposed
a 10-day sentence and a SIOO fine
against a young man, who was driv
ing an auto, while intoxicated.
"If you drink, don’t drive; if you
drive, don’t drink,” said the judge.
The Chicago judge said “gasoline
and alcohol” would not mix.
The drunken driver is a menace
of the highway. When the drunken
driver is involved in an accident he
always gets the worst of it in court.
Juries and judges forgive much,
but the drunken driver gets scant
consideration.
Drive only when sober—or don’t
drive.—Greensboro Herald-Journal.

More Milk On Georgia Farms
If every Georgia farm family
produced all the milk and butter it i
needs, we should have a richer and
sturdier State. Though cows are
supposed to be indispensable to
country life, there are many rural
families whose diet is lacking in
milk, a want which means that chil
dren are undernourished and that an
essential of sound economies, as well
as of vigorous health, is neglected.
—Atlanta Journal.
SENATE JOBS ATTRACT
MANY OFFICEHOLDERS
Senatorial ambitions are stirring
the breasts of an unusual number of
house members and governors this
year.
Thirty-five seats in the senate are
to he filled at the November elec
tions—l 7 democratic, 17 republican
and one farmer-laborite.
Some of the incumbents face stiff
contests in the primaries, and indi
cations are there may be a number
of new names on the senate roll call
next January 3, when the 74th con
gress convenes.
Democratic leaders have been spe
culting on capturing anywhere from
five to ten republican seats. Repub
lcans dispute this but concede they
have little prospect of taking any
from the democrats.
A lady, teaching in the schools of
ona of the neighboring states, told
us the other day that she frequently
went for six months without gatting
any pay. We would be willing to
wager that not one political office
holder in the entire state has failed
to get his check when due. Why is
it that we allow teachers to he neg
lected? They are training our
children to be rulers in the future
and it is certain that they will be
more interested and efficient in their
work if they are well and promptly
paid.— Duhloneg.t Nugget.
If the state begins to divert high
way funds for other purposes it will
set a dangerous precedent. Auto
mobile owners are socked with high
taxes, some of them unjust, but they
do not complain as long as the mon
ey is used to build good roads. If
the schools are not adequately fi
nanced, it is up to the legislature to
devise ways and means of raising
revenue without tinkering with the
highway money.—Jackson Progress-
Argus.
“Georgia banks evidently believe
it pays to advertise, for they spent
a total of $1155,000 a year for ad
vertising and over SIOO,OOO for this
amouut is spent in advertising with
Georgia newspapers,’’ John K. Ot
tley, President of the First National
Bank, of Atlanta, in an address be
fore the Georgia Press Association
in Savannah, June 22.
He is fortunate who can leave the
mistakes of yesterday with yester
day and face today with a clean
slate. Each new day is filled with
new hope, new opportunities, new
gladness and should not be marred
with regrets for the errors of the
day before.—Butler Herald.
FERA SENDS 40 TO
COMMERCE
Commerce. —Forty Federal Emer,
gency Relief Administration workers
have been sent to Commerce to work
on civic projects here.
The government plans to increase
this number to 200. The workers
are now at the camp formerly occu
pied by the Civilian Conservation
Camp workers, who were recently
transferred to Alabama.
Among the projects being consid
ered here are:
1. Building a municipal airport.
2. Constructing anew school
building.
Building anew municipal sew
erage main and cleaning up the town
generally. .
No specific plans have been made
tfotr construction, but the workers
are here to do any work for which
the city will supply the material if
the project is for municipal bene
fit.
JACKSON-BARROW MEDICAL AS
SOCIATION MEETS HERE
Members of the Jackson-Barrow
Medical Association gathered at the
Harrison Hotel Monday evening for
their regular monthly meeting. Af
ter enjoying an evening repast, the
members discussed problems that
daily confront the medical profes
sion. The principal theme for the
evening was, “Some Practical Phases
and Treatment of Rheumatism of
Children,” and the leading paper on
the subject was read by Dr. S. A.
Boland. Those present were Drs.
S. T. Ross, C. B. Almond and R. P.
Stinchcomb of Winder, F. M. Hub
bard, Paul Scoggins, Leatus Sanders,
of Commerce, and S. A. Boland of
Jefferson. Miss' Ruth Sanders of
Commerce accompanied her father
to the meeting.
REV. JOHN H. WOOD GIVEN
NEW CAR
Before leaving Friday for Rome,
where Rev. J. H. Wood will become
pastor of the Christian church of
that city, citizens of Winder, mem
bers of every denomination, joined
in presenting to Mr. Wood, a new'
as mark of their appreciation
for the many things that he and his
good wife have accomplished for
this section of the state.
During the past half a centui’y Mr.
Wood has. served the Winder Chris
tian church as pastor more than
twenty years. His work has been
surpassed by no other person who
has ever served the community in
any capacity. He and Mrs. W’ood
carry with them the love and confi
dence of ev'ery citizen of this entire
section.
MAGILL BACK WITH BANNER
HERALD
Dan H. Magill has resigned his
position as editor of the Athens
Times and has accepted a position
with the Banner-Herald.
Mr. Magill was connected with
the Banner-Herald for a number of
years prior to last September, w-hen
he organized a weekly newspaper
called the Georgia Democrat that
later merged with the Athens Times.
The name of M. L. St. John ap
pears at the mast head of the Times
as managing editor.
Prejudice against the railroads has
just about brought them to bank
ruptcy—some of them are bankrupt
—and sooner or later, if the poli
ticians have their way, the power
companies will be forced to bite the
dust. We have no sort of sympathy
with the socialistic tendencies that
would destroy property because it is
popular to do so. When we begin
to destroy big business we begin the
destruction •of little business; in
fact we begin the destruction of all
business.—Butler Herald.
Georgia has come a long ways in
highways since 1919 when the pres
ent highway system was started. At
first the expenditures amounted to
but little; now millions are spent. It
is a wonderful and inspiring story
of progress. Much of the credit for
inaugurating Georgia’s highway sys
tem belongs to John N. Holder. He
is really the father of the good
roads movement in Georgia.—Jack
son Progress-Argus.
Talmadge has at last found out*
who this man Pittman is. They met
in Cedartown at the unveiling of the
tablet to the late Senator William J.
Harris. They shook hands, and a
greed the weather was hot. We
opine that between now and Septem
ber 12, Talmadge will become
thoroughly acquainted with a man
named Judge Claude Pittman.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
AT BLACK’S CREEK
The Sunday School Convention of
Sarepta Baptist Association will
meet in its fifty-sixth annual con
vention at the Black’s Creek Church,
ifl Madison County, Tuesday, July
17, 1934. This is one of the largest
associations in the state, comprising
parts of Jackson, Banks, Madison,
Elbert, Oglethorpe, Oconee and
Clarke counties. A large delegation
is expected to be in attendance.
Among the noted speakers on the
program will be Col. Abit Nix of
Athens, Dr. C. C. Tooke of Com
merce, Rev. E. B. Collins of Law
renceville, and others.
Threat to withdraw federal high
way funds from Georgia may be the
weapon held open by the adminis
tration to force compliance with the
wage code on state road contracts.
Every effort should be put forth to
co-operate with the national officials,
as it would be a great blow to Geor
gia should she lose the Federal aid
funds.—Dahlonega Nugget. .
Georgia’s 1934 cotton crop will
come well within the Bankhead limi
tation of 787,197 bales, it is predict
ed. Co-operation by Georgia farm
ers last year and this year with the
government’s program has resulted
in the material reduction of plant
ings, and the, firm toe-hold given to
the boll weevil by unusual rains will
further cut the production.
A memorial tablet to the late Sen
ator William J. Harris was unveiled
at Cedartown last week. The tablet
was imbedded in natural stone on
the spot close by the big spring
