Resolutions
We, the resolution committee se
lected at county mass meeting of
cotton producers of Jackson county
in meeting at Jefferson, Georgia,
May 4, beg to submit the following
resolutions for consideration of all
present.
Whereas, Records show that prior
to May 12, 1933, date the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration be
came law, the prices of staple farm
commodities were at a price below
cost of production, and these prices
on March 15, 1933, were approxi
mately—cotton; 6c per pound; corn,
20c per bushel; wheat, 34.5 c per
bushel, and hogs $3.22 per hundred
weight.
Whereas, The Agricultural Adjust
ment Act includes the power for the
levying of a processing tax on com
modities in support of the program,
and this processing tax being paid by
the domestic consumption of the
commodities.
Whereas, The Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration Act makes it
possible for cotton producers to join
together and let their wishes be
known and heard by the Adminis
tration, as well as assure co-oper
ation with the Administration.
Whereas, The cotton crop of these
United States has been in the past
the major product in bringing foreign
money into these United States, and
that at all times in the past the pro
ducers investment and labor being
unprotected while practically all of
manufactured cotton products and
products used in production of cot
ton were protected by import tariffs.
Resolved, That we, cotton pro
ducers of Jackson County, Georgia,
assembled together in county mass
meeting in Jackson county court
house, in Jefferson, Georgia, this
May 4, 1935, go on record, and
that we unanimously endorse the
Cotton Production Control Program
under the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, and ask that a simi
lar program be continued in the
future years at any and all times
when records show that it be for the
best interest of cotton producers to
control the production.
Be it further resolved, That even
though the investment and labor of
the production of raw cotton in
these United States in the past until
May 12, 1933, was not protected,
and at same time the investments of
cotton manufacturing interests and
labor were protected, we, cotton
producers, think it is only just that
our investments and labor be pro
tected at all times on a fair basis
with the protection given the cotton
manufacturing interests for their
investments and labor. This protec
tion we think is being practically
given us through the present process
ing tax on cotton, and we ask that
this be continued in future.
Resolved, That considering the ex
pression of cotton producers of
Jackson county in the Bankhead Act
Referendum Vote on December 14,
1934, and said vote being a total of
2002 votes, and almost 18 to 1 in
favor of continuing the Bankhead
Act. Be it further resolved, That
this be an expression from the in
dividual cotton producers, as well as
consolidated expression from Jack
son County, Georgia, that we are in
favor of Cotton Production Control
further, That we, cotton
producers of Jackson County, Geor
gia appreciate the present Admin
istration making it possible through
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration for our wishes to be heard
and considered by the National Ad
ministration on equal basis with the
wishes of other interests of these
United States.
Be it further resolved, That copy
of these resolutions be furnished
Hon. Henry A. Wallace, delegates to
attend Washington meeting May 14
and 15, press for publication, and
copv filed with other papers in Coun
ty A. A. A. Office.

Graves Are Inviolate Even If Not
Set Aside
It is not necessary to have a pri
vate burying ground set aside as
such in a public or private sale of
surrounding land to have the law
protect those who rest there, the
Georgia Court of Appeals ruled Fri
day.
The high court upheld the prose
cution of Arthur Pritchett in the
Murray Superior Court on a charge
of disturbing the private burying
ground of Farrish Carter, Sr. The
contention of Pritchett was that the
burying ground was not exempted
from cultivation in the purchase of
the adjoning land by him.
The Court of Appeals pointed out
that the plot had been set aside for
burial purposes since 1867 and was
therefore protected from desecra
tion by long usage.
Stork Overtakes Woman Passing
Trough Toccoa
(From Toccoa Record)
Just a few minutes after Mrs.
S. L. Burton, of Mashall, N. C.,
drove her car into Toccoa Monday
afternoon, alone, she became the
mother of a fine baby boy. Mrs.
Burton drove up to the doctor’s of
fice, explained her situation, and
asked help. Accompanied by the
flapping of the stork’s wings, aid
was summoned and the woman was
rushed to the upstairs operating
room of the doctor, where almost im-
mediately the new arrival made his
entry into the world, announcing his
presence with a loud wail. As the
youngster’s entire wardrobe consist
ed only of a sparse shock of black
hair, a predicament arose as to what
to dress him in. Mrs. P. J. Ridg
way volunteered to remedy the situ
ation, and made a canvass of this
section of town, gathering a dress
here and a you-know-what there, un
til the semblance of a complete
wardrobe was accumulated. Doc
Kimsey produced a bottle of milk
from his store, and others helped in
various ways to prepare the young
ster for the immediate future. The
mother, however, is entirely without
funds to get home on. Mrs. Doyle
Ramsey head of the local relief office,
was notified of the case Tuesday and
was investigating.

attacked every kind of plant in the
garden, Dr. Hawkins reported, strip
ping off leaves and even eating the
bulb parts of radishes and other un
derground plants. He and his wife
killed 220 snails in one night in a

Grand Jury Denounces
Talmadge For Fight
Against Roosevelt
Governor Talmadge and Commis
sioner of Agriculture Linder were
denounced by the Fulton County
grand jury Friday for their attacks
on the President and the national ad
ministration, and Linder was refer
red to as a “political blatherskite.”
The presentments of the grand
jury go into a detailed criticism of
the two officials and are high in their
praise of Roosevelt as the greatest
President since the War Between
the States.
Discussing the attacks of Tal
madge and Linder on the national
administration, the presentments
say:
“We wish to go on record in
strong condemnation of the criticism
of the national administration by
the Governor of Georgia and the
Commissioner of Agriculture, es
pecially the reference of the Gover
nor to the President’s physical con
dition, which was cruel and unjust.
“Even with his physical handicap,
Roosevelt, in our opinion, has been
the greatest humanitarian ever to
occupy the Presidential chair.
“He has done more for Georgia
and the South, both by his financial
assistance and his various projects
and political favors, than any 1 resi
dent since the War Between the
St&tcs **
In reference to Linder’s suggestion
in the Market Bulletin, official state
publication, that Georgia might se
cede, the presentments say:
“The South engaged in four years
of the bloodiest war known to his
tory, and accepted our defeat and
spent seventy years in healing
wounds and co-operating with the
North, cementing friendships and
ties which a political blatherskite
seeks to sever.”

PROHIBITION RALLY
HERE SATURDAY,
MAY 11TH
Col. Abit Nix of Athens, and Rev. J.
F. Yarbrough to Speak. Rally To
Be Held On Court House Lawn.
Final preparations have been made
and everything is in readiness for
the big codnty rally to be held by
dry forces at the court house Satur
day afternoon, at which time Abit
Nix, one of Georgia’s outstanding
lawyers, and the Rev. John F. Yar
brough, presiding elder of the Gain
esville district of the Methodist
church, will make addresses. The
meeting will begin at three o’clock,
and will probably be held on the
court house lawn if the weather per
mits.
With the approach of the close of
the campaign against repeal, it is
believed that there is no doubt about
the fact * that this county will go
overwhelmingly dry on May 15. An
active campaign has been staged in
Jackson county, and those who have
taken part in this good cause are to
be commended for their noble ef
forts.
The campaign has been under the
leadership and supervision of Rev.
R. M. Rigdon, who has served as
chairman 'of the local organization
against repeal. Mr. Rigdon has giv
en his full time to this w r ork during
the past few weeks.
Three very enthusiastic dry meet
ings were held in the county during
the past week-end. On Saturday
night more than three hundred peo
ple attended a meeting at Braselton.
Mr. Rigdon and M. C. Frost were the
visiting speakers at this meeting.
Rev. Shell of Hoschton, and Rev.
Holland of Braselton, were also
present, and took part. The meet
ing was presided over by Arliss
Davis, prominent Braselton citizen.
On Sunday afternoon meetings,
attended by large crowds, were held
at Oconee and Center Grove. At
the Oconee meeting Rev. E. Bunyan
Collins of Lawrenceville, and Mr.
Frost spoke. A temperance pro
gram was also given by members of
the Oconee Sunday school, and the
meeting was presided over by Mr.
A. M. Head, who is one of Jackson
county’s outstanding men. Mr. Rig
don and Prof. H. J. W. Kizer ad
dressed the Center Grove rally, which
was presided over by Prof. Bob
Griffieth, well known school teacher
of the county.
In commenting on the campaign
today, Mr. Rigdon stated that there
was no doubt but that Jackson coun
ty will go dry if the people will
go to the polls and vote their con
victions on May 15th. He urged
them to take time from their work
next Wednesday and go out and
vote on one of the most important
issues ever to confront them.
