Garland Crumley Sentenced
To Life Imprisonment
Garland Crumley, on trial here
last week for the murder of Mr. W.
N. Jarrett of Center, was found
guilty, with recommendation of
mercy} which means a life sentence
in the penitentiary. The case went
to the jury at noon Wednesday, and
after deliberating throughout tbe
afternoon and night, the verdict was
rendered Thursday morning.
Crumley, it was proven, entered
the home of Mr. Jarrett about two
o'clock on the afternoon of Decem
ber 11, 1934, struck him over the
head several times with a blunt in
strument and left him unconscious.
After regaining consciousness Mr.
Jarrett made his way to the home of
a nieghbor and reported that the
man who had attacked him was one
he had seen riding in a car with
John Fitzpatrick earlier in the af
ternoon. Mr. Fitzpatrick was ques
tioned and said that he had picked
up Crumley, who was under the in
fluence of liquor that afternoon and
had let him out near Mr. Jarrett’s
home. Crumley was soon located at
his home in Commerce and was still
under the influence of liquor when
arrested. He was lodged in the
county jail where he has since re
mained. Mr. Jarrett died from the
wound he received at Crumley’s
hands a few days after he was at
tacked.
Mr. Jarrett was a bachelor, resid
ing alone on his arm near Center.
He was one of the county’s most
well known citizens, and a member
of a prominent, pioneer family.
Hart County Boy Wins First
Prize
Four Future Farmers of America,
boys who study vocational agricul
ture, have just been awarded cash
prizes totalling $200.00 for the most
economical production of cotton on
two acres in a contest sponsored by
the Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educa
tional Bureau, Inc. The followThg
boys, representing the four vocation
al districts of the State, were award
ed cash prizes of $50.00 each.
Roy Heaton, Reed Creek School,
Hart County, with a yield of 2031
pounds of lint cotton on two acres;
L. C. Armstrong, Roopville School,
Carroll County, yield 2080 pounds of
lint; Murray Massey, Sylvester
School, Worth* County, with 1272
pounds of lint; and Robert South
well, Brooklet School, Bulloch Coun
ty, with a yield of 950 pounds of
lint.
Each of the boys used from 150 to
200 pounds of Chilean Nitrate of
Soda per acre and from 210 to 800
pounds of ready mixed fertiliers
per acre.
Roy Heaton, who made the best
record from the standpoint of eco
nomical production, used 400 pounds
of 8-2-4 fertilizers, 200 pounds of
Chilean Nitrate of Soda, 1000 pounds
of stable manure, and turned under
a crop of crimson clover.
Roy, in discussing his accomplish
ment of producing a little more than
2 bales of cotton of 500 pounds each
per acre, had the fallowing to say:
“I attribute my success in making
such an outstanding yield per acre
to the following: Ist, turned under
a good crop of crimson clover; 2nd,
planted a good variety of seed; 3rd,
practiced thick spacing; 4th, used
poison to combat weevils; sth, used
a liberal amount of Chilean Nitrate
of Soda as a side dressing; 6th, prac
ticed good cultural methods; and,
7th, had favorable weather condi
tions.”
Mr. L. M. Sheffer, State Super
visor for Agricultural Education, in
commenting on the contest, said:
“All the winners in the contest used
pure seed of superior quality, fol
lowed good fertilizer practices, kept
accurate records, and practiced good
cultural methods. Such a contest,
in which recognition is given for
economical production, is very help
ful in stimulating interest on the
part of farm boys to study and learn
the best practices in growing a crop.

SCHOOLS CANNOT
RELY UPON U. S.,
COLLINS ASSERTS
The common schools of Georgia
will not receive the $2,562,869.78
federal aid asked for by Governor
ialmndge last week unless the pres
ent legislature increases the state
appropriation to the common schools
or tlie Federal Government c) 'nges
its new regulation:, State Schbol Su
perintended M. D. Collins declared
in a statement issued Saturday.
Superintendent Collins warned
teachers and school officials “not to
place too much dependence upon the
prospect of securing federal school
aid,” after receiving a discouraging
telegram from Dr. L. R. Alderman,
director of educational work for the
FERA, who pointed out that under
anew policy the Federal Govern
ment will not step in with aid until
all state, county and local resources
have been exhausted. The telegram
also said that “the attitude of the
governor and the legislature would
have a considerable bearing” on the
decision of the FERA authorities as
to whether or not they will come to
the relief of school-teachers in clos
ed schools or schools about to be
closed.
Last year the Federal Government
gave the Georgia schools approxi
mately $1,800,000, and prevented
many schools from closing down en
tirely or cutting then - terms short,
and the State School Department
will require more than $2,500,000 to
operate the smaller schools full time
this year, Dr. Collins said.

Extracts From The Pen Of
George Washington
George Washington, whose birth
day the nation will celebrate on
Friday, in letters written to a
friend is quoted as saying:
“My first wish is to see war, this
plague to mankind, banished from
off the earth.”
“Of all the animosities which have
existed among mankind, those which
are caused by difference of senti
ments in religion appear to me the
most inveterate and distressing and
(Tight to be deprecated. I was in
hopes that the enlightened and liber
al policy which has marked the pres
ent age would at least have recon
ciled Christians of every denomina
tion so far that we should never a
gain see their religious disputes car
ried to such a pitch as to endanger
the peace of society.”
“It has always been a source of
serious reflection and sincere regret
to me that the youth of the United
States should be sent to foreign
countries for the purpose of educa
tion. I have greatly wished to see
a plan adopted by which the arts,
sciences and belles lettres could be
taught to their fullest extent here,
with the means of acquiring the lib
eral knowledge necessary to quali
fy our citizens for the exigencies of
public as well as private life.”
“The more I am acquainted with
agricultural affairs, the better pleas
ed lam with them. I am led to re-,
fleet how much more delightful to
an undebauehed mind is the task of
making improvements on the earth,
than in the vain glory which can be
acquired from ravaging it by a ca
reer of conquests.”
“This government, the offspring
of our own choice, uninfluenced and
unawed, adopted upon full investi
gation and mature deliberation,
completely free in its principles, in
the distribution of its powers, unit
ing security with energy, and con
taining within itself a provision for
its own amendment, has a just claim
to your confidence and your sup
port.”
“Towards the preservation of your
government and the permanency of
your present happy state, it is re
quisite, not only that you discoun
tenance oppositions to its acknowl
edged authority, but also that you
resist with care the spirit of innova
tion upon its principles, however
specious the pretexts.”
“It is our true policy to steer
clear of permanent alliances with
any portion of the foreign world;
so far, I mean, as we are at liberty
to do it; for let me not be under
stood as capable of patronizing in
fidelity to existing engagements. I
hold the maxim no less applicable to
public than to private affairs, that
honesty is always the best policy.”
“Harmony and a liberal inter
course with all nations are recom
mended by policy, humanity and in
terest. But even our commercial
policy should hold an impartial hand,
neither seeking nor granting exclu
sive favors or preferences, consult
ing the natural course of things, dif
fusing and diversifying, by gentle
means, the streams of commerce,
but forcing nothing.
“Of all the dispositions and hab
its which lead to political prosper
ity, religion and morality are indis
pensable supports. ... It is sub
stantially true that virtue or mor
ality is a necessary spring of popu
lar government. The rule, indeed,
extends with more or less force to
every species of free government.”
“Promote then as an object of
primary importance institutions for
the general diffusion of knowledge.
In proportion as the structure of a
government gives force to public
opinion, it is essential that public
opinion should he enlightened.”
“Asa very important source of
strength and security, cherish pub
lic credit. One method of preserv
nig it is to use it as sparingly as
possible, avoiding occasions of ex
pense by cultivating peace, but re
membering also that timely dis
bursements to prepare for danger
frequently prevent much greater dis
bursements to repel it.”
“Observe good faith and justice
towards all nations; cultivate peace
and harmony with all; religion and
morality enjoin this conduct; and
can it be that good policy does not
equally enjoin it? It will be worthy
of a free, enlightened and, at no
distant period, a great nation, to
give to mankind the magnanimous
and too novel example of a people
always guided by an exalted justice
and benevolence.”

FARM REVIVAL CHIEF
AIM IN RELIEF PLAN
Washington, Feb. 16. The Roose
velt administration today had set it
self to anew and active program for
the revival of American ugriculturo
hth! the economic secilrity of the
30,000,000 people directly depend
ent upon it.
The program is largely one of
public works which .hall provide for
development of the rural areas and
compensatory employment for the
idle farm workers. It Include :
Rural electrification.
Construction of.ru al highways.
Elimination of grade crossings.
Building of rural schools.
Erection ol subsistence home
steads.
All these plans are wrapped up
in the 4,800-million-dollar public
works and relief appropriation which
has been adopted by the House and
is now struggling through a tortu
ous existence in the Senate.
General Robert E. Wood, presi
dent of Sears, Roebuck & Company,
was selected to be President Roose
velt’s principal adviser in the expen
diture of this proposed fund large
ly because of his familiarity with
the requirements of the farm popu
lation.
Among tlie most liberal o tho
New Deal subordinates, there has
developed a serious apprehension of
' whether the adventurous farm pro
gram can achieve ultimate success. -
Cotton exports have approached
the lowest ebb in the history of the
country. Pork and pork products
have dwindled appreciably. Wheat,
fruits and dairy products have skid
ded downward.
Because of the New Deal’s policy
of restricted production, American
farm products t havf steadily lost
the dominance they once enjoyed in
the world markets. This condition
forms the thesis of Secretary Wal
lace’s observations that “America
must choose” whether she is going
to struggle to regain the lost world 3
markets or cater only to her own
domestic market.
