Neighbor* And Friend*
Ranger A Real Pel
(From Winter Garden, Fla., News)
The proo. of man’s best friend
was again forcibly demonstrated
Sunday night in Winter Garden by
Ranger, Chief Mark H. Bailey’s fa
mous German Police and his con
stant companion. Shortly before
midnight the Chief nd Deputy J. B.
Kannon making their usual rounds
of the packing house district near
the negro quarters accosted J. B.
Sasser who was stumbling along the
road intoxicated. After some dis
cussion Sasser promised to go home
and go to bed. He was later seen
in a down town resturant with a
butcher knife in his coat allegly
boasting that he was going to “get
a man.” Shortly afterward Chief
Bailey found him walking down
South Main St. When the Chief
took hold of the prisoner he whirled
and threw the Chief several feet
across the sidewalk and struck out
running along the side of the News
building. But he didn’t get far.
Ranger seeing the assault on his
master went after him with venge
ance and threw him to the ground
before he had taken a dozen steps.
There he held him until the Chief
took possession. On the ground
where he fell lay an evil looking
butcher knife.

The Jackson Herald
Talmadge Draws
Fire Of Lindsay
In Eatonton Talk
Eatonton, Ga.—Governor Eugene
Talmadge's attacks on the national
administration were assailed Thurs
day by Paul L. Lindsay, bitter Tal
madge opponent, who charged that
the governor “would destroy the
very instrumentalities which have
brought us out of the slough of de
spondency.”
In an address prepared for deliv
ery before the Eatonton Kiwanis
Club Thursday, Lindsay, a repre
sentative to the state legislature,
said:
“Carping critics say we have
transferred the constitution; some,
especially our governor, say that Jef
fersonian democracy is the sole so
lution of our problems.
“You can’t feed the hungry mil
lions with the constitution, flavored
with Jeffersonian democracy, and
ease their hunger pains with high
sounding political platitudes.
Lindsay praised President Roose
velt for leading the country to re
covery and referred to the AAA as
“the long-sought Aladin’s lamp to
agricultural interests of our coun
try.”
He said all sections were depend
ent upon one another and that if
necessary the constitution should be
amended to permit congress to ex
ercise supervision over activities in
each section for the good of all.
“This is no time for carping criti
cisms. Now is the time for construc
tive critics to offer their ideas and
plans, but don’t undertake to feed
the hungry with high-sounding politi
cal platitudes. Hungry millions are
asking for bread—shall we give them
a stone and say to them, ‘depart, be
ye clothed and fed?’ ”
Lindsay said “we are hearing
howls of ‘socialism,’ ‘communism’
and ‘extreme radicalism’ as applied
to the present democratic national
government.
“Let us, as thinking men, pause
and seek the source from whence
come these howls.
“Did we hear it when Hoover, in
1932, upon the pleas of the rail
roads and insurance companies, beg
ged and obtained two billion dollars
from the government to stabilize the
railroads and save the insurance com
panies who held their bonds?
“Later in 1933, when Mr. Roose
velt again came to their rescue with
$750,000,000 more and placed them
on their feet, did we hear these
howls? No. Did we hear from
these howlers when in 1933 the
banking industry, prostrate and beg
ging for help, was granted several
billion to liquidate their frozen as
sets? No. Did we hear any howl
from New England cotton mill peo
ple when the import tariff on cotton
goods manufactured abroad was in
creased from 14 to 44 per cent? No.
“But oh, what a howl comes up
when these very people and interests
who have had free access to the
public swill until they are waxed fat
when in 1934 the triple A was put
into force for the benefit of the
agricultural interests, and the price
of cotton, wheat, corn and oats lift
ed to a reasonable basis for the bene
fit of the farmers of our country. It
seems that to help the big industries,
the railroads, the banks, the big in
surance companies is constitutional
and Jeffersonian democracy, but to
help the people, the farmers and the
working man, is socialism and com
munism, according to these kinds of
political parasites.
“Say what you please about Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. It cannot be de
nied that he found us in the worst
depression in history and has brought
us out into the sunlight of prosperi
ty, and our people are happy and
cheerful. Put me down as content
to be a Georgia Roosevelt Demo
crat.”
but with a greatly reduced number
of operators hoping that matters
will soon become adjusted and that
the mill can operate full time with a
full force.

MARKET BULLETIN MAY LOSE
STATUS
Washington, June B.—-After study
ing recent editions of the Georgia
Market Bulletin, published under
supervision of State Commissioner
of Agriculture Tom Linder, officials
of the postoffice department indicat
ed today that- steps may yet be tak
en to cite the publication for viola
tion of postal reuglations.
Latest copies of the Bulletin for
warded to Washington from Atlanta
are said by officials to contain an al
leged libelous attack on Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace in violation of
regulations prohibiting the publica
tion of political articles.
Similar complaints against the
state market organ prompted depart
ment officials to ask Postmaster Liv
ingston, of Atlanta ,for a report on
the situation recently. As the re
sult of an investigation made at the
time it had been understood the case
had been dropped, Commissioner
Linder being reported to have given
proper assurances against a repeti
tion of the offense.
In the light of the new develop
ments it remains to be seen what ac
tion will be taken.
It was intimated, the Bulletin may
be cited for violating second-class
mail privileges it now enjoys and a
hearing set to consider the charges.
Before any decision is made, Com
missioner Linder would be given an
opportunity to be heard, it was
stated.
Officials of the division of mail
classification admitted they had re
ceived all papers in the case from
Postmaster Livingston and that the
case was now under advisement.
Asked if the Bulletin was continuing
to publish matter barred to all pe
riodical publications issued by state
departments of agriculture, one of
ficial, who requested that his name
be not used, said that the latest bul
letin received in Washington con
tained political matter and that if
the situation were not corrected sec
ond-class mailing privileges would be
denied the commissioner <>f agricul
ture.
This same official declared that
he had received a written statement
from Mr. Linder as to what matter
was being published in the Bulletin,
with the explanation that he desired
to obey the law.
“But” the official declared, “1
have in my possession late copies of
the Bulletin which certanly contain
ed matter contrary to our regula
tions.” -

Georgia Farmers to Get
Fifty Million Dollars
On Cotton Loans
Fifty million dollars in federal
money will be poured into Georgia
within the next few months in the
form of cotton loans to 200,000 cot
ton farmers of the state, it was an
nounced by Erie Cocke, head of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
in Georgia and agent of the Com
modity Credit Corporation, which
handles the cotton loans.
Through the commodity corpor
ation, cotton farmers of Georgia are
enabled to borrow 12 cents on each
pound of cotton raised, or S6O a
bale. In the event the price of cot
ton advances, the farmers obtain the
full price, but if cotton quotations
drop below the 12-cent mark, the
government will absorb the loss.
Cotton loans are handled through
225 state banks in Georgia, 80 na
tional banks, 50 private banks and
50 private lending agencies, which
are the larger cotton merchants.
These lending agencies advance mon
ey to the farmers and the notes giv
en in return are taken up by the
Credit Commodity Corporation, ac
cording to Mr. Cocke.
Loans totaling $6,000,000 already
have been made by the corporation,
while $32,000,000 more have been
presented for examination and veri
fication. These latter loans are ex
pected to be approved by July 15.
In addition, the corporation expects
a demand for $15,000,000 more, Mr.
Cocke said.
Cotton notes handled through lend
ing agents or banks must be turned
into the Atlanta office of the Com
modity Credit Corporation by not
later than midnight of June 30, Mr.
Cocke said, even though arrange
ments have been made by such lend
ing agents for carrying the notes
under the new program of exten
sion, which expires February 1,
1936.
The original producer may con
tinue to make loans directly from
the Commodity Credit Corporation
until July 31.
The Commodity Credit Corporation
was incorporated under authority of
the National Industrial Recovery Act
but an amendment was made in the
act to continue the corporation’s ex
istence after expiration of the NRA
on June 16. The supreme court de
cision on NRA did not affect the
set-up of the corporation.
In view of its continuance after
June 16, the corporation recently ex
tended all cotton producers’ notes
from July 31, 1936, to February 1,
1936. It also has offered to enter
into supplemental contracts to pur
chase with banks, whereby the in
vestment of the banks in cotton pro
ducers' notes might be continued af
ter June 30, 1936.
“Loans made and contemplated
cover approximately 800,000 bales of
cotton,” Mr. Cocke said. “While our
branch of the credit corporation al
so makes loans to cotton farmers in
adjoining states, all but a small por
tion of the $50,000,000 will go to
Georgia farmers.
“These loans are proving the sal
vation of the cotton growers, as
were it not for the Commodity Cred
it Corporation, the lending agencies
would not be in a position to make
iuch loans.”
