MARTIN INSTITUTE
Fall Term of School To Begin On
M onday, September 2. Pupil* Re
quested To Be At School Building
Thursday and Friday, August 29-
30.
Martin Institute will open for Fall
Term Monday, September 2, 1935.
Everything will be ready for the
opening of rchool on above date.
All pupils are requested to come to
the school building on Thursday and
Friday, August 29 and 30, for regis
tration. If you are an old pupil or
a new pupil, please visit the school
on the above dates, so that you can
register, get list of books and all
needed information necessary for
the opening of school.
All pupils living in Jefferson, Dis-
trict Number 1, Thyatira and Aca
demy School Districts enrolling in
the Elementary School will pay SI.OO
incidental fee on opening of
School. If you live in any other
school district, and wish to attend
the Elementary School, the pupil will
be expected io pay the incidental
fee and a tuition of $2.00 per month.
All High School pupils will pay only
the entrance fee of SI.OO. There is
no tuition fees for High School pu
pils, since Martin Institute is the
County High School for Jackson
County. Please pay your fees to Mr.
Guy Strickland, City Clerk, at the
City Hall. He will give you a card
to bring to the school showing that
your fees have been paid.
The text books for the first seven
grades will be the State Adopted
books. The High School books will
be the same that was adopted five
years ago, and have been in use for
that time. Pupils that were promot
ed can secure books from the grade
above. In case you wish new books,
you will find a supply on hand at
school building for sale for cash.
There were a few failures at the
end of last school term. Some have
worked during the year to make up
their failures, and have made up the
failures, and will be ready for the
next grade. Probably some have not
gone to school during the summer,
but the school wants to give you a
chance to make up those failures. If
you wish another opportunity to pass
of your work, please be ready for
re-examination on Monday and
Tuesday, September 2 and 3. A
schedule of the examination will be
given you on date of registration.
These examinations must be taken
on the above dates. Regular class
work will begin Monday morning,
hence it is very important that all
examinations and everything else be
out of the way before classes get
started. The examinations will be
given by the instructor who taught
that subject.
There have been some changes in
the faculty during the summer. All
the vacancies have not been filled,
but all vacancies will be filled by the
opening of school, then the complete
faculty will be announced.
I sincerely hope that every pupil
will be ready to begin school on the
opening day of school. Every day is
important, and to miss one day you
have missed something that goes with
the school, and the subjects that you
are studying. Vacation should be
over by the opening date of school.
It is now time for a good year of
school work. Please come to school
on the opening date.

HEARD IN REMARKABLE
SERVICE SUNDAY
(From Winder News)
Colonel George W. Westmoreland,
lay leader for the Gainesville dis
trict of the North Georgia confer
ence, was the speaker at the First
Methodist church here Sunday. Col.
Westmoreland delivered one of the
most stirring and thought provoking
messages heard in Winder in many
months.
The speaker took as his subject
"The Mastery of Thought” and based
his remarks on the Bible text ‘‘As a
man thinketh in his heart so is he.”
In a most logical manner he clearly
pointed out the fact that as a man
continues to think and desire cer
tain things he is impelled to go out
after these things to the forgetful-
ness of all else.
He made an impassioned appeal
for church people everywhere to lay
down their projudices and shoulder
the responsibility of building the
Kingdom of God. He declared that
it is much cheaper to build churches
for people than it is to support peni
tentiaries and chain gangs.
Colonel Westmoreland lives at Jef
ferson, and is one of the outstanding
attorneys of this part of the State.
Rogers Wit Gleaned
From Passing Years
Irvin S. Cobb, now an actor in
Hollywood, today recalled the time
he made a bet with Will Rogers that
he couldn’t make the late President
Calvin Coolidge smile.
Rogers and the President were in
troduced.
Rogers said: “Pm sorry, I didn’t
catch your name.”
Coolidge said: “Pm Calvin Cool
idge,” and laughed out loud.
First American.
Will Rogers was a true American.
There was Indian blood in his veins.
“Maybe my ancestors didn’t come
over on the Mayflowers, but they
met the boat,” he once declared.
Strange America.
A few years ago an English states
man was visiting Rogers’ studio and
he was explaining the sights.
“Over yonder s supposed to be old
Arizona, where they fry eggs in the
ice box; and this is a town in Texas,
where men are men and women run
for Governor; and this is a street in
New York, which has just been an
nexed to Los Angeles.”
Ambassador.
The late Dwight W. Morrow was
a close friend of Rogers, and this
was the tribute the actor paid him:
“Morrow was the best ambassador
that ever lived, for he admitted that
he wasn’t one and knew nothing
about it.”
Peace Maker.
War-torn Europe had a chance to
chuckle in 1914 when Rogers, then
in the Midnight Follies in New
York, commented on Henry Ford’s
peace khip to Europe.
“If he’ll take these girls we got
right here in this show and let ’em
wear the same costumes and march
’em down between the trenches, be
lieve me, the boys will be out of the
trenches by Christmas.”
Brotherly Love.
“It says in there, ‘There is to be
no more war,’ and there is a para
graph further down telling you where
to get your ammunition in case there
was one.”
Candidate.
When in 1928 Rogers was put forth
as a possible candidate for Presi
dent by his friends and after Cool
idge had made his famous “I do not
choose to run” statement, he re
marked:
“Rogers chews to run. The nomi
nation leaves me dazed, and if I
can stay dazed, I ought to make a
swell candidate.”
Family.
Rogers joked at times about his
popular family, saying the family
polo team was broken up when Mary
‘‘went society,” and Mrs. Rogers re
mained “old-fashioned” by refusing
to bob her hair, but he never permit
ed any reference to his life at home
to get in the newspapers if he could
prevent it.
Only a few days before he went
on his last flight, he was asked by
a friend from New England to come
to dinner “and bring Mrs. Rogers.”
“Can’t do it,” he said. “She’s go
ing east to see Mary back in that dam
Yankee country you come from.”
Cotton Plan.
Will Rogers had his own ideas on
cotton reduction long before the AAA
was born.
The comedian, speaking in Mem
phis in October, 1926, said, in serio
comic earnestness:
“My plans would be to bring back
the boll weevil. Then I would en
courage the Texas flea. My second
plan would be to increase the de
mand. I would manufacture little
cotton wads for members and attend
ants of the thousands of luncheon
clubs to stick in their ears so they
could not hear those after-dinner
guys talk about something they don’t
know anything about.”
On his last trip there in 1928
politics was the major topic and
Will drawled:
“Hoover came south for the flood,
met the southerners wading in wa
ter and got ’em out and rung ’em
out and dried ’em out —but still left
’em democrats.”
Appropriate.
Representative Green, democrat,
Florida, said he was talking to Rog
ers one day at the capitol when the
roll call bell began to ring.
“They want you in there to vote,”
said Rogers. “I think they want to
appropriate something.”

Georgia Preacher Holds Rattler In
The Pulpit to Show His Faith
(From Dawson News)
Holding a Bible in one hand and
a huge rattlesnake in the other while
his flock looked on in awe, the Rev.
J. R. Saunders, a Holiness preacher
at Odom, near Jesup, demonstrated
his faith Sunday night at the regu
lar service in his church.
The rattler had nine rattles plus
a “button” and was furnished to the
minister by a young man of the
neighborhood.
The preacher took the text for his
sermon Mark 16, the subject being
“Signs Following Believers.”
Standing in the pulpit, the Rev.
Mr. Saunders proceeded to take the
snake from a box and wrap it about
his neck.
Walking too and fro on the ros
trum with the Bible in his hand and
the snake about his neck, the min
ister said he was “demonstrating his
faith in God.”
The snake, with its head weaving
about, made no effort to strike the
minister and appeared perfectly
contented.

Fox Paid Roger* SB,OOO Per Week
New York.—Will Rogers, humorist

from Fox Film Corporation. That
was brought out Thursday at a meet
ing of Fox Film stockholders, at
which President Sidney R. Kent said:
“We pay Will Rogers SB,OOO a
week and we make money on him.’
Rogers reputedly was a million

from his writing and other sources.

Gainesville, Ga.—Deputy Sheriff

wine and liquor.
He said legalization of wine and
beer had not tended to promote
sobriety and had not put the boot
legger and liquor hauler out of
business.
Tree Association, a tip on how to
handle his education campaign for
tree planting.
“Rogers told me,” said Pack, “that
I was on the wrong track in trying
to educate people to the value of
putting idle land to work growing
trees. “Pack,” he said, ‘you go down
to Washington and get congress to
pass a law prohibiting tree planting
and you’ll have everybody doing it
in a week.”
Barbour.
Sitting in lobbies and about lunch
eon tables in Washington, many con
gressmen talked of Rogers and Post.
Senator Barbour, republican, New
Jersey, a tall, heavily-built man, re
called that when he first came to
the senate, Rogers greeted him with
“Well, Barbour, I never realized it
before, but certainly you are too big
for a man and too small for a horse.
Silk-Hat Owner.
Others recalled how Rogers once
made a political speech for Ogden
Mills in which the humorist said
Mills, then a candidate for congress,
was the only one in the race “who
owned his own silk hat.”
County Sunday School
Association At Apple
Valley September 7-8
The annual meeting of the Jack
son County Sunday School Conven
tion will be held in the Apple Valley
Baptist Church, Saturday night and
Sunday, September 7th and Bth, ac
cording to announcements made
from the office of the Georgia Sun
day School Association, whose office
is in Atlanta.
Great plans are being made for
this meeting, and it is hoped that it
will be one of the greatest meetings
of its kind ever to be held in Jack
son County. The public is remind
ed that it is for every Sunday School
worker of every denomination in the
entire county. Every one is invited
to come and bring your lunch and
spend the entire day Sunday. This
day promises to be one of fellowship
and inspiration and great good times,
and it is hoped that each Sunday
School will have a large delegation
present to reap the benefit of these
trained workers’ knowledge and ex
perience.
The” theme of the convention is
“Launch Out,” and it will be dis
cussed from every angle, and will be
given you through presentation,
demonstration, addresses,
and conferences.
The Georgia Sunday School As
sociation is a co-operative effort on
the parts of the churches and Sun
day Schools all over the state to pro
mote Sunday School work. This or
ganization is sponsoring this meet
ing. It has been functioning in this
capacity for over 68 years, and at
present it is working in some hun
dred counties in the state.
Mrs. J. J. Simpson has been di
recting this work for several years,
and she is trained and experienced
in every way. She is the general
superintendent of the organization,
and will give to the Jackson County
friends a program on how to “Launch
Out for Better Sunday Schools.”
Mrs. Simpson will be assisted by
other speakers from other parts of
Georgia. The State Association is
the Georgia representative of the in
ternational Council of Religious
Education, and is the only agency
in the field promoting a state-wide
program of co-operative Sunday
School effort—it is the only organi
zation which aims to help every
Sunday School.
THE “TAKE-A-CHANCE CLUB”
You won’t find the address of the
“Take-A-Chance Club” in any tele
phone book or city directory. It has
never been incorporated, and it has
no club-house. But a good many
thousand Americans belong to it—
though £hey wouldn’t admit it—and
no “fraternal” organization in the
world exacts such high dues.
The ritual of the club runs some
thing like this:
“I will always take a chance when
driving my car. I will cut corners
and drive on the wrong side of the
road if I happen to feel like it. I
will make a regular habit of passing
other cars on hills and curves. I
will always drive faster than road
conditions warrant, and I will be
especially careless when it is raining
or snowing and visibility is poor. I
will not make regular inspections of
my car’s lights, brakes and steering.
I’ll take it for granted that they are
good enough. I will make no effort
to learn the traffic laws of my state
and community, and if I do happen
to discover some of them accidental
ly, I will break them at every op
portunity. I’ll let the other driver
watch out for me as well as him
self, and I’ll act as if the highways
and streets were my private proper
ty.
“I’ll pay no attention to traffic
lights and stop signs, and I’ll do my
best to practice none of the courtes
ies of the road.”
The members of the “Take-A
„Chance Club” follow this ritual to
the letter, and the result is that each
year some 30,000 people are need
lessly killed in automobile accidents,
and property is destroyed to the ex
tent of $1,000,000,000.
Are you a member of the club?

HEAVEN ON EARTH
Passed a vacant store on a side
street at noon and in the doorway
was a young negro, his head propped
against one side, his feet against the
other. His mouth was wide open
and he was fast asleep.
That’s the life, he probably didn’t
have a dime nor a job, but he was
happy—or apparently so.
He didn’t have a mortgage falling
due. He wasn’t bothered about back
payments on a car. No life insur
ance company was reminding him of
a premium. No note at the bank
was accumulating interest. He
wasn’t worried over pyorrhea. He
wasn’t fearful of losing his job, be
cause he didn’t have one. And he
had no dignity to preserve. If he
felt like taking a nap in a doorway
he simply hunted up a doorway and
took a nap.
After a while he will wake up. He
will be hungry. He will find a rag,
wipe the dust off somebody’s car be
side the curb, get a dime tip, and eat
lunch. Then he can take another
nap.—Dudley Glass in Atlanta Geor
gian.

Bull dogging, calf roping, trick

coaches, cactus plants, boom-town
saloons and corrals for the horses
will be found this year.
MORE GOLD PROSPECTORS
We are told that several more
prospectors for gold have been look
ing over the fields in Flatwoods. Wte
are also informed that Mr. McHugh,
who we mentioned some weeks ago
as seeking to obtain options on two
or three known gold-bearing loca
tions in that section, has about clos
ed negotiations for one or more of
them and is making arrangements to
begin operations at an early date.
Prospectors have found plenty of in
dications of the precious metal in
that section of the county and it is
not improbable that we may have a
Klondike rush to this region in the
near future. *The government hav
ing recently increased the price of
gold for minting and for revenue
has created a great demand for the
metal over the country. We are hop
ing the prospect for activity in our
gold-bearing section will soon be
realized.—Oglethorpe Echo.
