PATCH-WORK ROAD NOT
WANTED
Georgia citizens who live on Route
17 which traverses the eastern bor
der of the state have for some time
been using concerted efforts to get
that route paved, aad at a recent let
ting of road contracts, a small mile
age between Toccoa and Turnerville
■was let to contract. This has giv
en credence to a rumor that a plan
will be followed by the Highway de
partment to pave short strips, extend
ing southward from each of the
leading towns on this route so as to
spread the paving equally among the
counties. But this plan is not pleas
ing to the citizens along the route.
The Toccoa Record voices a protest
as follows: “Such a hodge-podge of
alternating pavement and mudholes
would do little to remedy the sit
uation, as it would still prohibit
through traffic to southern points
and would still necessitate Georgia
motorists going through South Caro
lina to get to Augusta and other
cities south of here.
“Of course, it would provide each
town with a short stretch of con
crete. But this would, at the most,
provide only a runway for the peo
ple of these towns to drive up and
down on Sunday afternoons; it
would not provide the required north
and south connecting highway.
“Half a loaf, we have been told, is
better than no bread. And we want
and need all we can get in the way
of paving, if it is murely a crust.
It.would, of course, be nice to have
a runway to exercise the family au
tomobile on Sundays. But this sec
tion needs u through route.”
REV. J. T. EAKES FORCED TO
TAKE A REST
Friends of Rev. J. Tillman Rakes
will learn with inexpressibl eregiet
that he has hud a nervous break
down and finds <t necessary to take
a rest for a few weeks. Rev. Ed A.
C aldwell 'of Monroe, who filled the
pulpit at Monticello recently for Mr.
Eakes said in the last issue of the
Walton News: Rev. Eakes has been
a member of the North Georgia
Conference for over forty yeurs, and
has proven acceptable, because of his
fine mind and deep spiritual bearings
—effective in every parish to which
he has been appointed. He and his
active and beloved wife, in these
days of his inability to carry on, are
thinking a little of superannuation
—-a thing Mr. Eakes doesn’t want to
do and that he will not do, so long
as he can stand on his feet, and
when talking to us, we thought how
wonderful it would be for some Mon
roe person or persons to give a su
perannuate minister like Eakes a
home—have it ready when he does
retire. He and his wife would make
us fine citizens, and somehow or an
other, since he spent some time of
his boyhood here, he has a longing
to get back among us. As we see
it, this fine fellow has prospects for
at least a half dozen more years in
the active ministry, and we, person
ally, assured him we hope he will be
“in the harness” at least that much
longer. '
COMMERCIAL RATE
FOR POWER IS CUT
$400,000 YEARLY
The Georgia Public Service Com
mission Friday ordered reductions in
commercial rates of the Georgia
Power Company estimated to reduce
revenues of the company approxi
mately $400,000 annually on the
basis of recent consumption.
The reductions range from 8 cents
per month for the smaller customers
to $6.83 per month for the larger
ones, such as Atlanta department
stores.
The percentage reduction ranges
from 5 per cent for small customers
to 30 per cent for larger ones, the
average’ being about 17 per contain
customer bills, it was stated. How
ever, commission officials stated that
there was no way of reaching exact
average reduction figures.
The reduced rates become effec
tive on June 15 and will show on
meter readings after July 15.

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
STATE ALLOTTED ROAD FUNDS
BUT ROW MAY DELAY
PROJECTS
Atlanta.—AUoted $9,884,916 for
road construction and grade cross
ing elimination, Georgia today lead
nine other southern and southeastern
states in sharing in $400,000,000 of
the federal work-relief fund ear
marked for this program.
Officials of the highway depart
ment were cheered by the news, but
they were still having their trouble
with the federal bureau of public
roads which threatened to delay the
flow of government money.
Chairman W. E. Wilburn said the
bureau had not yet approved proj
ects calling for the expenditure of
$1,500,000 left over from an old ap
portionment because of political dif
ferences between this state and the
Washington administration.
Bureau officials intimated several
days ago they would approve no
more federal-aid projects initiated
by the state highway department un
til Gov. Eugene Talmadge had
brought abouf “greater efficiency" in
the department’s engineers.
Talmadge and the highway depart
ment retaliated with charges that
the program was being clogged be
cause Congressman Carl Vinson
wanted the Ball’s Ferry bridge in
cluded in the lettings.
The governor charged Vinson and
the roads bureau with trying “to
usurp” privileges of the state de
partment in initiating projects.
Unless these difficulties were re
moved quickly, officials expressed
fear that the flow of government
millions would be nalted indefinite
ly-
Wilburn declined to comment on
this attitude except to say he was
ready to launch the program for
highway, road and street construc
tion, and the elimination of grade
crossings upon receipt of definite in
structions from Washington.
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
Control your boll weevils. If each
farmer will follow the pro-square or
early boll weevil control method,
then all boll weevils in Jackson coun
ty will be controlled, and but little,
if any, damage to cotton crop will
be done. Many farmers have al
ready made first application of
poison. Many are applying first ap
plication this week, some second ap
plication this week, and a few the
third application.
Yes, I am sorry, but there are
some that have not applied first ap
plication yet. We hope that they
will get busy at ortce for their own
protection, as well as for benefit of
all.
CORN—Plant additional acreage
in corn, so as to have an abundance
for needs on farm for people and
present live stock, as well as oppor
tunity to increase live stock. Apply
Quick Available Nitrogen fertilizer
when corn plants are 2 to 3 feet
high.
HAY—Hay is one of the most
economical feeds we may produce.
Sow and plant cow peas, soy beans,
sudan grass, sorghum, cat-tail mil
let, *etc., for summer growing hay
crops.
GARDEN —Continue to plant and
keep cultivated and apply additional
fertilizer to gardens. Plant now
snap and lima or butter beans (bush
and pole variety), corn, peas, pepper,
tomatoes, sweet potato plants, etc.
Plant more than needed, and can,
dry or sell surplus.
TAX EXEMPTION CERTIFI
CATES—This week, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, June 13. 14, and
15, offices will be open in each cot
ton district of Jackson county for
cotton producers to make application
for 1935 Tax-Exemption Certificates.
The closing date to prepare applica
tions is June 15. All application
forms will be in the hands of the
Community Committeemen in their
respective cotton districts, and cot
ton producers are to go to the dis
trict in which farm is located to pre
pare application. After June 15, all
district offices will be closed, and of
course all prepared forms forwarded
to county office to complete prepar
ation and forwarded on to state! of
fice for certificates.

Rods, reels, hooks and accessories
are important articles in the lives of
many of the men these days, as the
fishing season, closed since April 15,
is wide open again. It is said that
on the opening day, June 1, the
banks of the Georgia Power Com
pany’s lakes in Northeast Georgia
were lined with fishermen, and some
from Jefferson had real good luck.
But remember it is against the law
to poison or dynamite a stream, or
engage in seining, netting, trapping
or gigging.
SCHOOL ITEMS
The announcement was made at
the close of school that all pupils
who had failed their work for year
would be given an opportunity to
make up this work during the sum
mer, provided they wished. Very
few pupils have signified their de
sire to make up this work. This is
the last call. If you dvaire to make
up the work before school opens in
September, see me in the office by
Friday, June 14. The cost of the
school depends upon how many wish
to take* this work. The work will
last at least six weeks. The school
will not honor work unless it is done
by a teacher acceptable to the school.
If you go to some private teacher,
you will have to take an examination
at the opening of school.
The school wishes to call atten
tion to the library Jhat is now open.
The hours are 9-12 • and 3-6, every
day execept Saturday and Sunday.
We would like for every one in the
community to visit the library and
use the books of the library during
the summer. You may have a book
for a week or two weeks if you de
sire.
In connection with the library, we
are planning a Story Hour for the
children during the summer. Com
plete plans are not available at this
time, but as soon as all details are
worked out, we expect to make the
announcement for all the children.
The Accrediting Commission has
notified the superintendent that
Martin Institute is again in Group
1, without criticism. Heretofore we
have beer, in Group 1, but we were
short on a few things, such as li
brary, laboratory or teaching load.
This Is the first time we have been
able to meet the full requirements
of Group 1 without criticism from
the Commission.

The latest kidnaping is reported
from Valdosta, in this state. The
victim was Royal Daniel, one of the
best known editors on the Georgia
press. Just why a kidnaper would
select a newspaper editor for his
victim is beyond our conception.
Not that newspaper editors are not
valuable citizens, but for anyone to
have the least hope of securing a
sum of money as a ransom for the
return of an editor, is just unbe
lievable. But, mhybg Mr. Daniel has
something on the side that none of
his brother editors know about.
Surday, Jufie IC, has been desig
nated by someone as “Father’s
Day.” One newspaper writer sug
gests that fathers be permitted to
do just as they please on that day.
We were under the impression that
they do as they please every day.
Instead of sending him flowers, it is
suggested that he be given a tie, or
a shirt, or some candy, or a golf
club. Let us suggest that fathers
give their wives and daughters some
extra change on next Saturday, so
that the above presents will not be
charged on the account they will
have to pay on July 1.
Georgia farmers would be un
grateful to the last degree if they
did not endorse President Rooseyelt
and his efforts in their behalf. Dur
ing his two years as the leader of
this great nation the AAA spent
more than one billion dollars in pay
ing benefits to farmers and for ad
ministrative purposes, including
wages and expenses of employes.
Benefit payments totaled 727 mil
lion, 391 thousand dollars. The
processing tax collections totaled
524 million, 430 thousand dollars.
The Orlando Sentinel-Star, one of
the leading newspapers in Florida,
has nominated Walter Rose for the
office of Governor of that state.
Walter Rose is a native Athenian.
He lived in Athens until his young
manhood when he moved to Florida.
He has succeeded in business, real
estate, insurance, investments and
banking. He represents the 19th
senatorial district of the General As
sembly of Florida.
The Atlanta Constitution says
that Tom Linder’s defiiant state
ment that he will continue to discuss
political subjects in the Bulletin and
will “keep right on taking the Bul
letin to the postoffice” is foolish
and in line with his recent silly ad
vocacy that Georgia secede from the
Union because of his dissatisfaction
with the policies of the national ad
ministration.

Only Georgia Made Wine
May Be Sold
Legal sale of wine is limited to
vintages made in Georgia from home
products.
The Governor proclaimed rules
for the production and sale of wine
drawn up by Commissioner of Agri
culture Linder, with the consent and
advice of Attorney General Yeomans.
As provided in the wine act rat
ified at the referendum of May 15,
the Governor’s proclamation forbids
production or sale of wine either
made outside of Georgia and fer
mented from grapes or fruits grown
elsewhere.
The regulations drafted by the
Commissioner of Agriculture limit
wine stores to Georgia products.
These stores may sell Georgia
wine only between the hours of 7
a. m. and 11 p. m., and then only
in bottles. No sale by the drink is
provided for.
Georgia vinters are forbidden to
fortify their wine with brandy or al
cohol. Sugar, however, an essential
of wine-making, may be used to ef
fect fermentation.
Any individual or company desir
ing to start a winery may apply to
the commissioner for a permit.
There is no state tax, either for the
manufacture or sale of Georgia
wine.
Each bottle of Georgia wine
placed on the market must bear a
label stating in what section of the
state it was made and that it was
produced solely from Georgia pro
ducts.
The state officials concerned con
tented themselves with promulgating
the rules.
Their enforcement, they indicat
ed, is up to the counties.
