JEFFERSON, Jackson County, Georgia.
MR. ELLIS B. BETTS
COMPLIMENTED
The “Crackerland” Column in the
Atlanta Journal, written by Ralph
Smith in Washington City, has the
following regarding a well known \
Jackson county citizen:
t t $
“Among the better-known Geor
gians employed on Capitol Hill is
E. B. Betts, of Athens, who con
fesses to have many up-and-dowhs
and to liking them. ... He is the
captain of a private elevator in the
house wing, reserved for members of
congress and members of the press
gallery. And there are few he
doesn’t know by name. Fewer still
who don’t know and appreciate him.
A native of Jackson County (Jef
ferson) Brother Betts has claimed
Athens as his home since 1914 —a
fellow townsman of the late Con
gressman Brand, with whom he came
to Washington. . . . And be it said
to his credit and glory, he reveres
the memory of Judge Brand, of
whom he often speaks.
Nothing more appealing to Broth
er Betts than politics, and he isn’t
particular whether it’s county, city,
state or national politics. He knows .
politicians, too, and revels in the re
citation of political incidents. It is
an education and a joy to ride in his
car, for rare are the occasions when
he doesn’t entertain you with a stir
ring recollection of this man, or that,
usually a Georgian—Hoke Smith,
Clark Howell, Jim Smith, J. H.
Estill, Tom Watson, Billy Hardwick,
Hugh Dorsey, Cliff Walker, John
Holder, Lamartine Hardman, Dick
Russell, ’Gene Talmadge. ... All
about the break between Watson and
Hardwick, Watson and Smith, Wat
son and Dorsey . . and the Russell-
Smith debate at McDonough, what
Plain Dick said to Marse Hoke.
A quick wit and quicker tongue,
too, has Brother Betts. The other
day, a Democratic congressman,
thinking to kid him challenged his
loyalty to the Democratic party.
“Well, sir,” said he, “I contribut
ed $8 toward the election oi Roose
velt, and I’ll warrant that if all
others gave in like proportion to
their ability there wouldn’t be a de
ficit in the party treasury now, and
I include Democratic congressmen in
that category.”
ROAD PAYMENTS
ARE HELD VALID
The validity of -certificates given
Georgia counties by the state high
way department obligating the state
to pay $27,000,000 spent by coun
ties in building roads, was upheld by
Judge J. H. Hawkins, of Cobb su
perior court.
His decision may be appealed to
the state supreme court, it was said
by John T. Dennis, attorney for the
Madronah Sales Company, of At
lanta, which brought the proceedings
as a taxpayer to contest payment of
the certificates.
The Madronah company sought to
show that the law providing for re
imbursing counties was unconstitu
tional in that notice of the referen
dum at which it was approved was
not advertised in the tenth district
60 days prior to the election.
Judge Hawkins held the amend
ment was constitutional and that the
certificates were of full force and
effect.
The amendment providing for re
payment of funds spent by the coun
ties was approved in 1932. It call
ed for annual payments by the state
of 10 per cent begining in March,
1936.
REV. R. M. RIGDON IN ATLANTA
Rev. R. M. Rigdon, pastor of the
Jefferson Baptist church, is in At
lanta this week, conducting a series
of services at the Inman Park Bap
tist church. Rev. Lowe, pastor of
the church has announced that the
young people of the church will lead
in the meeting, with a young person
presiding every night.
A special feature of every service
will be the young peoples’ 10 minu
tes, in which time short talks and
prayers will be made and special
songs rendered. Pastor Lowe, of the
church, announces that, in his judg
ment, adults can find no greater
source of spiritual inspration than
in a great revival in which young
people render spiritual service.

and sees Martin taking off in a my
stery plane. Johnson makes his es
cape from Gray and Davis by means
of a smoke bomb, as Martin arrives
at the mine and is introduced as the
Black Ace. At the cave the boys
overpower the guard, when Davis ar
rives telling them Johnson has es
caped. Fred tricks the mechanics
working on the planes, locking them
in the steel room. Davis discovers
the flying suit of the Black Ace, just

leaps out - completely enveloping
the boys.
