LINT CONSUMPTION TOPS
STATE CROP
Georgia’s textile mills last year
consumed more cotton than the
farms of the state produced, accord
ing to State Commissioner of Agri
culture Columbus Roberts. Georgia
ranks fifth among the states in cot
ton growing.
Roberts, commenting on National
Cotton Week, said the state last
year produced 1,090,000 bales. Two
hundred textile concerns at the same
time were weaving and spinning 1,-
387.000 bales of cotton.
The commissioner ranked Georgia
as fourth in the nation as a textile
state. Massachusetts, North and
South Carolina exceed it, he said.
Despite diversification if crops
farmers still lean on cotton as the
•chief money-maker in the state.
Roberts said king cotton still is the
leading cash income crop in Georgia.
The total value of the cotton crop
to farmers last year was $83,975,-
000. Next in value was tobacco
which turned in $17,700,000 to
farmers’ pockets.
The Georgia farmer is combining
his cotton growing with other farm
pursuits more than ever. Varied
crops and the dairying and livestock
business caused the farmer’s income,
which formerly was supplied mainly
by cotton, to jump.
That cotton is still the major
crop. Roberts said figures showed
all except a few of Georgia’s 250,-
544 farms annually grow cotton.
UNIVERSITY CENTER URGED
FOR EMORY
Atlanta.—Dr. Harvey W. Cox,
president of Emory university, re
porting to the board of trustees at
the start of the institution’s 97th
commencement urged support of a
p rogram of co-ordinating educa
tional facilities to create a universi
ty center here.
Saying that southerners seeking
advanced training in special fields
now are forced to go north to get it,
Dr. Cox said so many of them fail
to return that the South is being
"drained” of the cream of its tal
ent.
Under the program suggested, fa
cilities of all institutions of higher
learning here would be so co-ordi
nated as to permit development of
a graduate school offering advanced
training in medicine, business ad
ministration and the general profes
sional callings.
The idea behind the movement, it
vras explained, would be to supply
facilities for advanced study com
jrarable with that available any
where else so that southerners
might get this type of training with
out necessarily going outside the
South for it.

Of the thirteen foreign nations
indebted to the United States for
loans made during the World War,
only one of that number has kept
faith with this government and that
one is the little country of Finland.
The semi-annual payments of inter
est and principal will be due on the
15th ol June, but Finland is the
only debtor nation to signify its in
tention of meeting its obligation.
Finland has notified the state de
partment in Washington that its
p; yment would be met promtply
when due.

sociation held a most interesting and
helpful session in Jefferson Monday
evening. Following supper served
at the Harrison Hotel, routine mat

der; Grady Coker, Canton.
The following resolutions were
passed:
Dr. C. B. Almond
On Friday, the 16th day of April,
Dr. Charles B. Almond entered in
to eternal rest. It must have been
a glorious scene, when he, the last
male charter member of the Winder
Baptist Church clasped hands with
those who, one by one had gone on
before him, uniting again the chain
in heaven, the one broken on earth.
"Earth’s loss is Heaven’s gain.”
He was loyal to his church, loyal to
his profession, and loyal to his
friends. He proved himself to be
a “worker who needeth not to be
ashamed,” ever ready to do what
ever came to him for the upbuilding
of our city, our county and our
society.
Our Medical Society is bowed with
grief at the loss of this treasured
member, whose presence was always
an inspiration. His life work was
so splendid, so loyal, sincere and
faithful in the discharge of every
duty, that his memory will ever live
in the hearts of his friends,
Therefore, Be It Resolved—We
bow in humble submission to His
will, and that we hold in fond re
membrance his Christian character
and the years of useful service ren
dered; and be it
Resolved, That we extend to his
widow and family our tender sym
pathy in this hour of trial and sor
row and affliction, and commend
them to the keeping of Him, who
looks with compassion upon those
who mourn; and be it
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to Mrs. Almond,
The Jackson Herald, The Winder
News, and the Commerce News.

All accidents are not traceable to
automobiles. A total of 2,738 ille
gal train riders and other trespassers
on railroad property lost their lives
during 1936, according to figures
just placed in the hands of Atlanta
railroad executives. This is the
largest number of fatalities to tres
passers on railroad property for any
year since 1923, except for the year
1933. Because of the danger, every
effort is made by the railroads to
prevent such trespassing, which, ac
cording to the survey, is fatal in
fifty per cent of the cases.

Atlanta are spending their vacation
with Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Bryson.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
MISSIONARY TO KOREA SPEAKS
TO METHODIST WOMEN
The Methodist Missionary Society
was most fortunate Monday after
noon in having as guest speaker
Miss Sadie Maude Moore of States
boro, a missionary to the Koreans,
who is at home on a furlough. Miss
Moore is a most attractive speaker,
with a charming personality. Her
gracious manner and pleasant, smil
ing face, together with the inter
esting facts she related of her work
in Korea, brought much pleasure to
her nudience.
Miss Moore has been a missionary
in Korea for the past thirteen years,
and this is her second visit to her
home during that time. She will re
turn to Korea in August. Her duties
in Korea are centered at Wonsan
and the outlying country. As she
appeared before the Missionary
Society Monday afternoon she wore
a dress fashioned according to the
style of that country. The dress
was presented to her as a token of
love and esteem by the band of
Christian women in Wonsan when
she was leaving for this country.
The skirt was of beautiful blue lace,
made very full, and in empire style,
and with it she wore a short white
jacket, similar to a bolero. All the
women, and even the small girls,
wear dresses of this style, and the
only change is that sometimes the
waist is shorter, or the sleeves are
smaller.
Korea is a small country, 700
miles long, and 150 miles wide. The
Christian church has had its exis
tence in that country only 50 years,
and the inhabitants are very primi
tive in their customs. They subsist
almost entirely on fish and rice, and
reside in two and three-room huts
of small dimensions. They sit on
the floor, sleep on pallets, and re
move their shoes on entering the
house. They carry their children
strapped on their backs. Female
children are not welcomed at birth,
and the women have to endure
many hardships. There are no
modern conveniences. Before being
washed, clothing is ripped apart, and
the ironing is done with two wooden
sticks that resemble short baseball
bats. The women beat the garments
with the sticks until they are
smooth, and then sew them together
again.
Korea has many religions, Bud
dhism, Confucianism, demon, or evil,
worship, etc.
Preceding Miss Moore’s talk, an
interesting devotional service was
led by Mrs. R. W. Green, who chose
for her subject, “Making of a Mis
sionary,” based on the life f St.
Paul.
The spiritual cultivation quarter
hour service was given by Mrs. H.
I. Mobley, who gave an impressive
and beautiful talk.
The business meeting was presid
de over by Mrs. H, R. Howell, and
interesting reports were given by
the chairmen of departments.
NOTED FILM ACTRESS DIES
Jean Harlow, known as the
screen’s “platinum blonde,” died
Monday t a hospital in Los Angeles,
following a brief illness from pneu
monia and its complications. She
was 26 years of age.
Miss Harlow won her first fame
in the picture “Hell’s Angels,” and
when taken with her last illness wa°
being starred with Clark Gable and
Lionel Barrymore in the new pic
ture, Saratoga.
It is said the studio may lose a
million dollars by her death, as
“Saratoga” will have to be scrap
ped, or 90 per cent of the scenes re
shot with another actress.
Miss Harlow was earning ap
proximately $4,000 a week, and is
reported to have an estate of nearly
$1,000,000. She had been married
three times.
Louie D. Newton, pastor of
Dtuid Hills Baptist Church, Atlanta,
says: “What a grand and glorious
world—green cabbage, spring on
ions, string beans, golden squash,
royal beets, tasty turnips for pot
licker, cornbread and buttermilk,
chickens ready for pie and frying—
and, with emphasis on the and—
and berry pie! And there are
mighty few people in Georgia who
couldn't have the aforesaid viands
if they are willing to work.”
John C. Hallman, aged 94, a lead
ing figure in the development of At
lanta, died in that city Sunday. Mr.
Hallman had the distinction of being
Atlanta’s oldest voter, oldest tele
phone subscriber, oldest director of
both the Georgia Power Company
and the Atlanta Title & Trust Com
pany, and oldest subscriber to The
Atlanta Constitution.
HOYT W. MURPHY
Talmo, Ga.—Funeral services for
Hoyt Wilburn Murphy, 34, who pass
ed away Saturday, June 2, at the
Downey Hospital, Gainesville, after
a brief illness, were held Sunday
afternoon from his mother’s resi
dence. The Rev. E. H. Collins of
Winder, pastor of the Talmo Baptist
church, officiated, and interment,
with Masonic rites, was in the Tal
mo cemetery. Pall bearers were R.
H. McEver, L. G. Blackstock, O. L.
Cato, Z. J. Bridges, R. L. Bowen,
and W. H. Simmons.
A son of the late Terrell Wil
burn Murphy and Mrs. Victoria
Simmons Murphy, he was a life long
resident of this place, and a member
of the firm of T. W. Murphy & Sons,
He received his education at the
Georgia Military College, Milledge
ville, and the Riverside Military Aca
demy, Gainesvile; was a member of
the Talmo Baptist church and the
Masonic fraternity.
Besides his mother, he is survived
by three brothers, Scott, Jack and
King Murphy, of Talmo; two sisters,
Mrs. H. E. Crow of Alto, and Mrs.
Paul Blackstock of Talmo, several
nieces and nephews, and a host of
friends who mourn with the family
the passing of one beloved.
Always a devoted son and brother,
he was ever lending the helping
hand, and his kind, sunny dispo
sition won for him friends wherever
he went, for truly, “to know him was
to love him.” He was stricken Fri
day morning with pain too intense
for medicine to ease or the hu
man heart to stand, and only God in
His infinite mercy could give relief.
This came quickly and gently early
Saturday morning. May this same
grace and abiding love strengthen
and comfort the bereaved family,
and His richest blessing be theirs.
Hoyt, always bright and cheerful
himself, would not have us grieve for
him. He was ever striving to bring
laughter and happiness to those with
whom he came in contact, and we
can do no less to honor his memory
than to emulate his courage and
joyousness and try to carry on his
mission of helpfulness to others.
“I cannot say, and I will not say
That he is dead—he is just away.
With a cheery smile and a wave of
the hand
As he wandered into an unknown
land.
And you—oh, you, who the wildest
yearn
For the old time step and the glad
return—
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of
Here:
Think of him still as the same, I
say,
He is not dead—he is just away!”

WILL ROGERS AT BEST
AS LOVABLE, LAUGHABLE,
WITTY “DAVID HARUM”
The most laughable and lovable
character in American fiction, as
only Will Rogers could play him,
brings delightful humor, thrilling
romance and gripping action to the
Roosevelt Theatre when “David
Harum,” Twentieth Century-Fox’s
adaptation of the novel by Edward
Noyes Westcott, opens on Monday.
In the perfect role in his greatest
picture Rogers plays a canny and
kindly match-maker who helps young
love along, climaxing his efforts by
winning the most extraordinary
horse-race ever filmed.
Hard-headed, soft-hearted David
Harum is a small-town banker with
a grasping reputation but a soft
spot in his heart for Evelyn V enable
and Kent Taylor.
Because the young man is in
such financial straits that he dare
not pursue his courtship of his rich
young debutante sweetheart, Rogers
induces Taylor to bet all of his
meager savings on the outcome of a
trotting race in which he, Rogers, is
to drive.
Interfering with the orderly pro
cess of the race is the peculiarily of
the horse, who can win only when
hearing a favorite tune.. The rous
ing chorus of a stadium full of peo
ple singing to a blaring band sweeps
Rogers and his horse on to brilliant
victory, the lovers on to “they
lived-happily-ever-after.”

NEW YORKER PAYING BET
IS HEADED FOR ATLANTA
Atlanta. —Governor Rivers doesn’t
know it, but there’s a man looking
for him. A man pushing a wheel
barrow. And he doesn’t want a
job either. All he wants is the
Governor’s autograph.
The wheelbarrow pusher is Eman
uel Jonidas, of New York, a WPA
worker, who lost a bet when Presi
dent Roosevelt was re-elected, and
who started out Monday pushing
the barrow, weighted with a 50-
pound rock.
Jonidas left New York for Al
bany, where he wants to get Gover
nor Herbert Lehman’s autograph for
his collection of 6,500 signatures of
political celebrities. From there, he
will push on to Washington, where
he will give the President a special
ly-bound copy of Plato’s “Republic.”
After Washington, Jonidas will
continue to this city, where he plans
to obtain the Rivers’ autograph.
Pushing a wheelbarrow long dis
tances is nothing new for Jonidas.
In 1933, he pushed from Litchfield,
Conn., to Los Angeles.
