JACKSON COUNTY CITIZENS IN
MONROE
We have no finer citizens than
W. B. Patrick and his interesting
family. Coming from some of Jack
son county’s best families, they were
transplanted in Walton some years
ago and have taken their place
among our most substantial resi
dents. Jackson county has been
rather kind to Walton, anyway.
Among those coming to us from this
neighbor county and adding great
ly to the civic, professional and cul
tural life are: Mrs. W. H. Nunnally,
Mrs. Kitty Burton, Dr. W. H. Lott,
Dr. J. A. Pirkle, Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Whitmire, Mrs. Kersey, superintend
ent of the Walton County Hospital,
Vernard Wright, and many others.
If you have others like these up in
Jackson, please send them down to
tis, for they will receive a hearty
welcome. —Walton News.
The writer failed to list the name
of the editor’s wife, Mrs. Ed A.
Caldwell, the former Miss Kate
Troutt of Pendergrass. Her name
should appear right along at the top
among those who are leaders in the
religious, educational, social and
cultural life of that city.
SEVEN STATE UNIVERSITY
BUILDINGS TO BE DEDICATED
(
The University of Georgia will de
dicate Thursday more than $500,000
worth of buildings and celebrate
completion of the first phase of the
school’s largest building program in
the 137 years since erection of Old
College, first building on the campus.
The buildings to be dedicated are
seven structures built in the last
two years with PWA and state
funds. Four of them, built in the
spring of 1937, were ready for oc
cupancy that fall; anew biological
science building, an agricultural ex
tension building, a men’s dormi
tory, and a women’s dormitory.
The three newest buildings, be
gun last spring, are n forestry build
ing, a language and letters building,
and anew demonstration school for
the College of Education.
Construction is going forward on
two more buildings, a dormitory for
men on the main campus and a
dormitory for women on the College
of Agriculture campus.
CHINESE IN U. S. DONATE
MILLIONS
Shanghai.—The Chinese war time
relief commission at Chungking an
nounced Friday that Chinese living
in the United States had contributed
30,000,000 Chinese dollars (about
$4,800,000) for defense and relief
purposes since outbreak of the war
with Japan.
Sin e the 1930 census showed the
Chinese population of the United
State-- to be 74,954, this would indi
cate a contribution of about SO4
per person. However, the sum pre
su> bly includes also gifts by others
in the United States forwarded
through Chinese organizations.
A CANDID ADVERTISER
Taylorville, 111.—A classified ad
appearing in a local newspaper read:
“Wanted—A wife. Must be over 65
and drawing a pension.” The ad
vertiser told the newspaper he was
in the seventies and drawing a pen
sion himself.
Tin Wesleyan Christian Advocate,
official organ of the North and
South Georgia Methodist Confer
ences, last week began anew year,
and three new pens came to the edi
torial page. North Georgia trustees
elected a layman, Dr. J. C. Wardlaw.
chairman of the Board of Stewards
of Glenn Memorial Church, as anew
editor from that conference, while
South Georgia trustees chose two
new men, both pastors, to join Rev.
J. R. Webb in forming the South
Georgia editorship. They are Rev.
O. J. Taylor, pastor of Grace church
in Savannah, and Rev. Paul Muse,
pastor of the church at Perry. The
two North Georgia men who haye
served before and who were elected
for this year are Rev. George L.
King, pastor of Monroe church, and
Rev. Nat G. Long, pastor of Glenn
Memorial church.
THE COUNCILS OF AMERICAN
NATIONS
Secretary of State Hull on board
the steumship Santa Clara spoke ft
final message to the American peo
ple just before the liner set sail in
which he hailed the Pan-American
Conference at Lima as “a solid
cause for hope in a world threaten
ed with despair.’’ The American
Ambassador to Germany had hasten
ed to the ship to deliver a gloomy
report to his chief just before the
final whistle blew for departure. Mr.
Hull said the delegation stood solid
ly for “the continued loyal obser
vance of the American system"
which, he added, was based upon the
powers of "consultation and cooper
ation."
If Herr Hitler or anybody else
nas been inclined to believe that
there is any division in the United
States about our fraternal relations
with laitin America, the appoint
ment of Alfred M. Landon as a
member of the delegation and his
public remarks before sailing, furn
ish the answer.
The Monroe Doctrine is 115 years
old. It was not a one-man idea, by
any means, as Jefferson, John
Qunicy Adams and other leaders of
that period backed the new Ameri
can doctrine that was proclaimed by
President Monroe. The Holy Alli
ahefc headed by the Emporer of Rus
sia was making threatening gestures
against new worid democracy, and
our “old boys” in the United States
thumbed their noses at the dictators
and told the Holly Alliance to read
the Monroe Doctrine, and be sure to
understand that it was not a bluff.
In years that have passed Latin
American countries have frequently
complained of the United States as
the “Colossus of the North," and
within recent weeks our State De
partment has been calling Mexico a
cheat and a fraud—of course in
diplomatic language. And there is
no doubt but what Mexico will be
asked to change its methods by the
Councils of American nations.
In fact Pan-America is no Polly
anna union of Nations. For 50 years
understandings have improved. Mis
understandings have been cleared
up in more than a half dozen con
ferences like the one at Lima. A
blast from the Old World accuses
the United States with “imperial
ism”—but that doesn’t matter.
RESPONSIBILITY OF CONGRESS
Several grave questions that con
cern peace and war have become the
responsibility of the new Congress
that will meet next month. The in
ternational situation can be describ
ed in the single word—BAD. It of
fers a challenge' to statesmanship,
and not a test of lung power to con
vince the public that America has to
be ruled by high-pressure political
appeals.
Senate Leader McNary for the
Republicans says that “responsibili
ty for legislation still rests with the
Democrats,” which is all right so far
as recognizing the power of the ma
jority party, but McNary is mis
taken if he is suggesting an alibi
for the minorities. War, or peace
is not the responsibility of political
parties—not at all!
In the present day legislators of
both the old parties are warned that
great difficulties will bo found in the
paths ahead unless the annual Gov
ernment deficits are reduced. Ob
viously the only way to reduce them
is to cut down running expenses.
This condition turns the national
spotlight on relief.
The Federal government com
menced administering relief to flood
sufferers, and unfortunates in other
disasters more than 20 years ago,
and in order to meet grave emer
gencies the New Deal assumed full
authority and made relief a national
business. There are strong trends
in both parties to pass administra
tion of relief back to the States.
Congress will undoubtedly agree to
continue Federal backing, but a
fight seems certain over the issue of
continuing the Government agencies.
By rail it is 731 miles from Atlan
ta to Chicago, and 890 miles from
New York to Chicago. Common
sense and fair play would assume
that it would cost less to ship the
same kind and same quantity of
goods from Atlanta to Chicago than
from New York to Chicago, inas
much as the Southern city is 159
miles nearer the point of destination.
The fact is, however, that it costs an
Atlanta shipper $1.91 per 100
pounds to send first-class freight to
.Chicago, whereas a New York ship
per is given a rate of $1.52, or an
undue advantage of 39 cents on
every hundred pounds.

ey in the Atlanta regional office of

Gainesville-Midland Taken
Over by New Company
Federal Judge W. H. Barrett, of
Augusta, signed an order in Atlanta
Monday morning confirming the sale
of the Gainesville-Midland railway to
a newly organized company, headed
by Forest Greene, of Atlanta. The
price was said to be $127,000 plus
the assumption of certain obliga
tions. Greene is president of the
Georgia Car and Locomotive Com
pany.
The new company, which will op
erate the line, is the Gainesville Mid
land Railroad Company. The sale
was executed at Gainesville last Oc
tober 4.
Officials reported the road had
been in receivership under the juris
diction of the southern Georgia fed
eral court district since the early
1920’5. W. B. Veazey, of Gaines
ville, and Gordon C. Carson, of Sa
vannah, are the receivers.

A sprightly volume of verse and
prose called “Autumn Anthems,” by
Ernest Camp, editor of the Walton
Tribune, is just off the presses of
that publication. The author shows
himself master of many forms—the
ode, the lyric, and the prose poem
are found in these pages, as well as
several sketches and a short story,
“John Simpson’s Gift.” Of the
sketches, outstanding is a portrait of
an old southern negro, Uncle Henry.
Mr. Camp is Poet Laureate of the
Georgia Press Association, and is
well known as a Georgia poet and a
newspaper writer.
Ambassador Wilson was recalled
from Germany because our govern
ment is out of patience, and out of
sympathy with Germany. So long
as Germany leaves us alone, we will
treat that government the same way.
But, it is certain that all this pre
paredness movement is due, almost
entirely, to distrust of the German
government. Ambassador Phillips
returns to his post at Rome. Mus
solini may not be running his gov
ernment our way, but the United
States does not feel apprehensive
about Italy.

endangered near-by buildings.
A negro hardware store worker
was slightly injured in rescuing
records from the burning structure.
All records were reported to have
been saved.

MOTHER OF THREE SETS
OF TWINS HAS TRIPLETS
Camden, Mich.—lt’s a wise father
who can tell one child from another
in the Ivan Nichols household.
As if the situation were not al
ready complicated by the presence
of three sets of twins, Mrs. Nichols
gave birth to triplets Friday. In
addition to the twins and triplets,
the 35-year-old mother has borne
six children, the oldest of whom is
18.
The collective weight of the boy
and two girls, at birth was 17%
pounds.
Of the 15 children borne by Mrs.
Nichols all except one are living.
The father, a 39-year-old day
laborer who is on relief, said he was
proud of the triplets but added that
the latest turn of events had left
him “sort of bewildered.”

The administration of the Tennes
see Valley Authority is challenged in
the investigations before the Senate
Committee, and the part the govern
ment performs in operating a great
power and light service in competi
tion to privately-owned utilities, is
a constant reservoir of quarrels.
On account of all the dissatisfaction,
there will be bitter fights in Con
gress to prevent the building of
more Government power plants in
other parts of the country.
A mother of eight children decid
ed that nine days was too long for
her youngsters to be around the
house just before Christmas, so she
asked the Kenosha, Wis., Board of
Education to shorten Christmas va
cation. Her plea, supported by a
delegation of other mothers, moved
the board to keep schools operating
until December 21 and take three
days off the Easter vacation.
When tablecloths wear thin in the
center, cut up the outside into 12 or
16-inch squares and hemstitch.
These make napkins that will wear
