IVfAJOR JOHN S. COHEN, EDITOR
ATLANTA JOURNAL, PASSES
Atlanta, Ga. —Major John S. Co
hen, 65, president and editor of the
Atlanta Journal, vice chairman of
I the national democratic committee
and former United States senator,
died at 9:45 o’clock Monday night
at his residence, 941 Peachtree tst.,
N. E., following an extended ill
ness, ,
Major Cohen had been in declin
ing health several months and only
last week returned from Rochester,
Minn., where he went, for treatment
of an ulcerated stomach.
Hope was abandoned for his re
covery and members of the family
were summoned to his bedside fol
lowing his return home. All mem
bers of the immediate family, with
the exception of his daughter, Mrs.
Jean M. Bievenu, of Lisbon, Portu
gal, who arrived in New York Tues
day with her children, were at the
bedside at the time of his death.
Leader in Party
A leader in the councils of the
Democratic party, Major Cohen cut
short a prospective career in the
navy to distinguish himself as a
journalist and in the political field.
Besides his newspaner work and
political activities he was a cham
pion of good roads and education,
and an outstanding figure among the
builders of the new south. During
the Spanish-American war he served
as an officer in the United States
army.
He was appointed to the United
States senate by Governor Richard
B. Russell, Jr., in 1934 to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Sen
ator William J. Harris and remained
in the senate until Russell offered
for the office and was elected nine
months later.
That same year Major Cohen was
made vice chairman of the democra
tic national committee.
The acts of the president may be
communistic, revolutionary, radical
and any number of scary things. He
may have violated the Constitution
and scrapped the Decaration of In
dependence, and done many a thing
he should not have. Yet, the reply
that comes ringing back that is un
answerable is the indisputable fact
that extraordinary circumstances call
for extraordinary measures, and a
comparison of conditions today as
against those when he became presi
dent on March 4. 1933, show so de
cidedly in his favor that there can
be no argument.—Gainesville Eagle.
Instead of being an aid to the
farmers of Georgia in the production
and marketing of their crops, as is
its purpose, the Market Bulletin is
now being largely devoted to the
presentation of radical appeals to
prejudice and passions and the inane
contention that Georgia has a
right to secede. The use of the tax
payers’ money for such a purpose is
an outrage and should be put to an
immediate end.—Athens Times.
Congratulations to Jack Wiliams,
editor of the Waycross Journal. The
announcement comes from New Or
leans, where the National Editorial
Association is holding a convention,
that Mr. Williams’ paper has been
given the second prize in a national
general excellence contest judged by
committees from the NEA.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
LITTLE MARY BELLE HOWELL
PASSES AT HOSPITAL IN
' ATLANTA
“Even death ha# a wonderful mes
sage,
Though it rob# us of those we love.
It draws us from our surrounding#
To long for the meeting above.
No matter how heavy our loss is,
No matter how great our despair,
Doesn’t heaven seem nearer and
brighter
To know that our loved ones are
there?”
Following an illness of more than
a year, the spirit of little Mary Belle
Howell winged its flight to her final
home in the early morning hours
Tuesday. The summons came ? as
she lay upon her bed in Emory Uni
versity Hospital. The soft light fell
upon her pale, sweet face as she
seemed to sleep the peaceful slum
ber of childhood. Nothing save the
solemn stillness and the almost un
bearable grief of loved ones spoke of
Mary Belle was the only child of
Dr. and Mrs. H. R. Howell, promi
nent citizens of .Jefferson. She was
almost seven years of age. About
eighteen months ago, she contracted
whooping cough, then measles, fol
lowed by pneumonia. These fear
ful diseases left her with a weaken
ed body that became anaemic, and
the skill and proficiency of the best
medical knowledge in Georgia was
unable to combat the disease. Her
parents carried her to Florida, in
the hope that the sunshine and
balmy air of a more southerly cli
mate would bring back rosy cheeks
and a healthy body, but she did not
improve. Since the early part oi
this year she has been in a hospital
in Atlanta, and has had every at
tention that devoted parents, who re
mained constantly at her bedside,
and skillful physicians, who used
every remedy known to medical
science, could give, but “God moves
in a mysterious way his wonders to
perform," and she has gone Home
where the splendors are eternal and
there is no night and no suffering.
The body was brought to Jefferson
Tuesday morning, and carried to
the Howell home on Washington
street. Funeral services were held
Wednesday, and interment was in
Woodbine cemetery.
As Dickens wrote of Little Nell,
so may we write of little M. ry Belle
Howell: “When Death strikes down
the innocent and young for every
fragile form from which he lets the
panting spirit free, a hundred vir
tues rise, in shapes of mercy, char
ity and love, to walk the whole world
and bless it. Of every tear that sor
rowing mortals shed on such green
graves some good is born, some gent
ler nature comes. In the Destroy
er’s steps there spring up bright cre
ations that destroy his power and
his dark path becomes a way of
light to heaven.”
MR. J. R. HOSCH, MEMBER
OF THE FIRM OF W. B. JOHN
SON AUCTION CO., VISITS HERE
Representatives of the W. B. John
son Auction Company of Atlanta
have been here several times during
the past two weeks, making plans
for the sale of the property of Mrs.
Ruth S. Campbell. The sale will
take place on next Saturday, May
18, and the property to be offered
for sale consists of the commodious
residence of Dr. and Mrs. Campbell,
located at the corner of Church and
Martin streets, the vacant lot at
the corner of Church and Institute
streets, 309 acres of farm land, and
nine shares of First National Bank
stock.
One of the representatives ot the
Auction Company here last week
was J. R. Hosch, Jr., son of the late
John R. Hosch, who spent his life in
Hoschton and represented Jackson
county in the General Assembly, and
was one of the county’s most promi
nent citizens. The younger Mr.
Hosch seems to be a chip off the old
block, and his father’s many friends
were glad to give him a glad wel
come to Jefferson.
LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES GO
TO WASHIGTON
Messrs. Arthur DeLaperrier, A. J.
Murphy, G. O. Shackelford and W.
Hill Hosch left Sunday by auto, and
Mr. L. L. Davis left Monday by
train, for Washington City, t# join
with the other 250 farmers from
Georgia in expressing to the national
administration their approval of the
AAA, and urging a continuation of
the cotton processing tax. The meet
ing to be held in Washington is vol
untary on the part of the farmers of
the nation, and the national admin
istration is reputed to have had
nothing to do with it. It was insti
gated by the farmers themselves to
offset the rising tide of opposition
against the New Deal agricultural
policies, particularly the processing
tax.
The Athens Times came to -our
desk recently in a splendid edition
of thirty pages, celebrating its first
birthday anniversary. The paper is
climbing to the top as a leading
Georgia publication, and the man
agement is due much praise for their
enterprise and progress in giving
this section a splendid morning
daily.
The Commerce High School will
close May 24, and the commence

The Webb-Crawford Cos., wholesale
grocery firm of Athens, celebrated
its 50th anniversary last week.
This firm was organized in 1885 by
the late J. N. Webb of Jefferson, and
Hiram Crawford of Athens. Ed D.
Wier is now president of the com
pany, and Carter D. Daniel, another
Jefferson citizen, is one of the direc
tors. Both of the original founders
of the company, Mr. Webb and Mr.
Crawford, are dead, but the business
is still conducted under their origin-,
al company name of Webb-Crawford
company.
The continued eruptions of Secre
tary of Agriculture Linder, in which
he reiterates his foolish contention
that Georgia has the right to secede
from the Union if it desires, is pop
pycock which can not only do no
good, but is holding the state up to
ridicule of the nation. Something
should be done to gag a state official
so unwise in his utterances. Athens
Times.
Dr. John McSween has resigned
the presidency of Presbyterian Col
lege, at Clinton, S. C., to accept the
pastorate of a church in Chester, S.
C. Dr. McSween is well known to
many Jeffersonians, having occupied
the pulpit of the Presbyterian church
in a series of services.
