JEFFERSON, GA.. SEPT. 23. 1937.
NO U. S. WAR PROBABLE,
SAYS OFFICER
Admiral Clark Howell Woodward,
■of the United States Navy, in a re
cent interview, said:
“Although I see no indication that
we will be involved in a major con
flict in the near future, 1 think the
best thing for us to do is to build
up a modern navy second to none,
ao that we will be prepared for any
eventuality,” he declared.
He indicated, however, that the
United States is better prepared to
fight a war today than any time in
her previous history. Asa result of
President Roosevelt’s program, he
predicted that the navy will reach
treaty strength by 1942.
Discounting the value of airplanes
as formidable war weapons. Admir
al Woodward cited the Spanish civil
war, the Ethiopian war and the
Asiatic conflict as instances in
which the air forces have not proved
as dangerous as many pacifists
* claim.
“Of course, we know that air
planes are capable of destroying
buildings and non-combatants, but
they have not put an end to any big
battle or succeeded in capturing any
thing, and after all, you must cap
ture something before you can win
ii war,” he continued.
-THINGS MADE TOO EASY FOR
CHILDREN OF TODAY
The Commerce News editor gave
an editorial picture last week of the
school child of today. She believes
if children were not induged so
much, they would be glad to return
to school duties. She says:
“The trouble with children today
that too little is required of them.
They have no jobs to perform, they
are never kept at home, all they do
is frolic from one place to another
the live-long day. Certainly the
hate for school time to come when
lessons must be learned and they
must attend with a fair degree of
regularity, this does make it had on
the poor darlings who are not allow
ed to walk or to carry their books,
the 1 imousene must be brought out
after junior has awakened usually
about fifteen minutes before leaving
for school, fed just the type break
fast food he likes, dressed in the
clothes that he indicates, he is then
driven to school.
“After he arrives the teacher must
be very careful in her teaching not
to wound his feelings or reflect in
any way upon the work he is doing.
“When school is over for the day
the car again drives up and he is
carried homo, where he remains for
■a few minutes prior to rushing out
to join the gang again.
'“lf one of these hopefuls could
be borrowed for a few months and
ryrven a real job that he had to do,
nude to rise at the same hour each
day and perform his tasks accurate
ly and well, real work, made to re
main at home all day and outside
of work hours find entertainment for
himself, then school would not be
such a bug-a-boo.”
CENSUS OF GEORGIA HIGHWAY
TRAFFIC
A census of Georgia highway traf
fic began Monday.
Two groups of trained men are
•doing the work.
The first group will count all
types of motor vehicles passing 270
key stations throughout the state.
The count will be made at all hours
f day and night under all weather
conditions. The second group will
obtain data on bus and truck traffic
at 54 selected stations. Crews of
five men will work at the stations,
which will be equipped with por
table scales. They will take the
weight of vehicles, loaded and un
loaded.
Both groups will rotate from sta
tion to station.

Fifty-four family members honor
ed Mrs. Betty Worley at a reunion
dinner at the old home place in
Lumpkin County Sunday, the oc
casion being the eighty-eighth anni
versary of her birth. From Atlanta,
Fort Benning, Jefferson, Gainesville,
Maysville, Winder and Dahlonega
came six children and a majority of
the thirty-three grandchildren and
twenty-five great-grandchildren.
SUCCESSFUL MERCHANTS BE
LIEVE IN NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING
That newspaper advertising pays
has been proven time and time again
by the largest and most prosperous
mercantile firms of the nation. Ex
penditure of 510,548,877 for news
paper advertising during 1936 by
Sears, Roebuck & Cos. was revealed
in a report from G. W. Cunningham,
general advertising manager of the
company.
Reaching an all-time high, this
sum was $795,597 more than the
amount expended in 1935, when the
largest previous expenditure was
recorded.
Additional figures showed that
Sears increased its newspaper ad
vertising expenditures in the state
of Georgia last year by 29 per cent
to reach a total of $153,199.
In his report Mr. Cunningham
stressed the fact that officials of the
company continued to regard the
newspaper as being Sears’ most im
portant and most satisfactory adver
tising medium. “Although during
1936 we spent more money for this
form of advertising than ever be
fore, resultant sales were more than
satisfactory,” he said.
CONVICTS MUST NOT BE WHIP
PED SAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL
Return of the lash to punish Geor
gia convicts would be unconstitu
tional, Attorney General M. J. Yeo
mans ruled.
Chaingang wardens, assembled
early this month to discuss means
of stopping “wholesale escapes,”
favored the lash as punishment for
ebnvicts violating camp rules.
The whip was abolished more than
10 years ago, and was replaced by
stocks, in turn replaced this year by
solitary confinement in cells.
The attorney general based his
decision primarily upon a section of
the constitution providing “neither
banishment beyond the limits of the
state, nor whipping as punishment
for crime, shall be allowed.”
Judge W. W. Stark spent a few
hours with Col. S. R. Jolley Wednes
day afternoon, and met many more
of his old friends here. The Judge
has been coming to this town every
year for the past fifty years. First
as a struggling young lawyer, later
on he acquired a lucrative practice
in this county, was judge of superior
court 1 6 years, and now he comes as
a successful business man and law
yer, who has accumulated enough of
this world’s goods to take it easy if
so desired. But, very likely, he will
work until he dies.—Banks County
Journal.
The executive board of the For
eign Missions Conference of Noi-th
America agreed Sunday to withdraw
all missionaries from the “dangerous
areas” of China. According to the
request of Secretary of State Hull
that all Americans be withdrawn,
Dr. Leslie B. Moss, secretary to the
Missions conference, announced all
except those “essential” to the “war
time basis” of missionary work
would be asked to leave.
Farm leaders called to Washington
to formulate a 1938 program, dis
closed the administration will make
a definite attempt to control acre
age of major crops next year. The
leaders were handed a tentative
draft of a 1938 program which calls
for definite limitation on cotton,
corn, tobacco, potatoes, peanuts and
rice. Secretary Wallace and AAA
officials, who summoned the farm
leaders declined definite information
on the proposals.
Georgia’s controversial chain gang
system and the shackels from which
it takes its name would be abolished
under a legislative program outlined
by Governor E. D. Rivers. The
move, the governor said, will be a
part of a broad system of prison
reforms being worked out by a
special senate and house committee
appointed at the general assembly
this spring. The group will report
at a “Thanksgiving to Christmas”
special session.
Japan has purchased $16,000,000
more cotton in the United States in
the first eight months of this year
than in the similar period last year.
This explained reports to its San
Francisco office that Japan had
enough cotton to last through De
cember and may not buy any more
this year. This year’s purchases
through August totaled 786,000 bales
valued at $56,019,000, compared
.with 599,000 bales valued at $38,-
360,000 last year.

JACK HALEY OFFERS MENU
FOR LOVE AND LAUGHTER
IN “SHE HAD TO EAT”
“She Had To Eat,” Twentieth
Century-Fox laugh-hit, featuring
Jack Haley, opens Monday at the
Roosevelt Theatre, with Rochelle
Hudson, Arthur Treacher and Eu
gene Pallette in the cast.
Happy-go-lucky Haley ik a coun
try innocent in the new film, believ
ing that two can starve as cheaply
as one, until he finds ffvat “She Had
To Eat!”
It all begins when Pallette and
Treacher, obsessed with a mighty
hunter complex, leave their train to
go gunning for Jack’s pet rabbit,
“Cactus.” The comic performance
nets Jack a ride in millionaire Pal
lette’s private club car, from which
he is ejected when Pallette sobers
up.
Cast adrift in the big city, Jack
meets Rochelle Hudson, an appetite
that—well, she could eat a bull on
the hoof.
But in the end it’s “Cactus” who
puts back on a smooth path the true
love for which he was responsible in
the first place.
Congressman Whelchel issued the
following statement Monday: “Since
returning from Washington I have
made a survey of the cotton situ
ation as it exists in the southern
states and as a result I expect to
call on the President on or about
October 15 to ask that the cotton
subsidy be paid not later than De
cember 1. The present price of
cotton is inadequate to cover the
cost of production, leaving cotton
farmers in a destitute condition.
This presents a serious situation.
The Secretary of Agriculture has
power to provide rules of co-oper
ation now and this should not be
delayed.”
MULE COLTS
Mr. Hosea Barnett Ha Some Pretty
Colt., One of Which Can Do
Stunts; A Pleasant Visit To His
Farm.
.—a—— %
“Is there anything in the way of
yojir making a visit with me to the
country on Monday afternoon?” ask
ed Colonel W. P. Frost of the edi
tor. When told there would be no
barrier, he said, “Be for you Mon
day, then.”
So on Monday afternoon he car
ried us to the farm of Mr. Hosea
Barnett, who is a native son of
Jackson, and lives near the place
where he was reared. Colonel Frost
said, when we reached there, "Mr.
Barnett has a stunt mule. So far
as I am concerned the only use I
put to these quadrupeds is to work
them, but Mr. Barnett believes he
has a real show mule.”
Mr. Barnett brought out from his
barn a mule colt just one year old
in July. At eleven months old the
colt weighed five hundred and eleven
pounds. It has three white legs,
and the other leg white to the knee.
It also has a white spot on its hip.
Mr. Barnett said, “Whoa, Talmadge;
don’t be so frisky.” “Yes,” said
Mr. Barnett,” his name is Talmadge.
When he was born I was in a quan
dary whether to name him Russell
or Talmadge. If named Russell, I
knew he would be braying and mak
ing a big noise and never do any
thing. If named Talmadge, he
would kick over the traces and raise
thunder; but I decided to name him
Talmadge.”
Mr. Barnett held the mule’s head
high, and said, “Talmadge, how does
a gentleman greet a lady?” He
lifted Mr. Barnett’s hat from his
head.
Then he said, “Talmadge, when I
get old, what are you going to do
for me?” The mule put his mouth
on Mr. Barnett’s coat and stripped
him of this garment.
Mr. Barnett said, “Talmadge,
show us how a dead mule looks.”
The colt lay on the ground, and
stretched himself at full length.
One day Mr. Barnett asked him
if he would rather be a dead mule
than a mail carrier, and the Balaam
shook his head. Colonel Frost laugh
ed at this.
Mr. Barnett said he thought the
mule would be able to answer a
number of questions by the time he
is two years old.
Mr. Barnett has two other mule
colts, a little less than three months
old, which are certainly pretty speci
mens of the mule tribe. The moth
ers are twin sisters, just five years
old, and are very pretty, and well
trained for work. They look very
much alike.
On his farm Mr. Barnett has a
crop of O-Too-Tans growing. He
said, “It is so easy to grow other
things than cotton, that I am gradu
ally getting away from cotton. Only
sixteen acres are planted by me to
cotton this year, which is much less
than my quota. Raising mule colts,
calves and chickens, and producing
milk, butter, hay, corn, beans, peas
and other things on the farm is
more profitable to me than cotton.”
About this time Billy Frost sug
gested we go to the fish pond. Mr.
Barnett has two small ponds, in
which are hundreds of bream. The
federal government stocked the
ponds. He said, “I expect to have
fish large enough to eat in about a
y.ear. I will then have a big fish
fry. Right now I invite you, Colonel
Frost and Billy to come to it. Judge
Dickson is another man who must
come, without fail.”
Mr. Barnett drew a bucket of
water at his barn, and in offering
us a drink out of the bucket, he
said, “I regret I have no other re
freshments to offer you gentlemen
than water, but it is hard to equal
when one is thirsty. I am real sor
ry I have no dipper, gourd or glass,
but we will take it good and cool
just out of the well bucket.”
In returning from Mr. Barnett’s,
Colonel Frost brought us by the old
home place of Captain A. T. Ben
nett. It is the birth place of some
of the noblest sons and daughter*;
ever reared in Jackson, or any other
county. Captain Bennett was a
genius, a leading farmer, an able
psychologist, a shrewd politician, a
good neighbor, a loyal friend, and
one of the best of parents. His
name is inseparably linked with the
history of Jackson county and the
State of Georgia, as he represented
this county a number of years in the
House of Representatives.
P. S. Regret Mr. J. W. Jackson,
county agent, was not with us on
this visit.
Mr. and Mrs. Jewell Barnett of
Athens were guests Sunday of Mr.
and Mrs. F. D. Wilhite.
