JEFFERSON, GA.. DEC. 12. 193 H
John Garner Boomed
For The Presidency
Home-folks of John Nunce Garn
er gathered together in northeast
Texas for a rally that will formally
lauch the Garner-for-president move
ment throughout the nation.
Resolutions were submitted to the
rally stressing the frontier American
virtues of thrift, self-reliance and
hard work exemplified by his life
and political career.
Political friends have a ready an
swer to the question of whether Gar
ner would accept a presidential
nomination if it were forthcoming.
“Well,” one old-timer put it, “he
hasn’t said yes—but he hasn't said
no.”
The vice president has lent no
encouragement to the movement.
But those who know him best con
fidently believe he would accept the
responsibilities of that high office if
they were placed upon him by the
American people. ip
“John Nance harfn’t shirked a
public duty yet," his friends say,
“and he don’t shirk ttys one if it
comes along.”

THE JACKbON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL
CAPITOL
(By E. B. Betts)
In the death of Chief Justice Rich
ard B. Russell, Sr., of Winder, Bar
row County, Georgia, on December
3rd, the State of Georgia loses one
of her best citizens and aide judge
and jurist. Judge Russell, Sr., was
a fine man, with high ideals of life.
He was elected to the General As
sembly in 1882, from Clarke Coun
ty, and served two years with the
late Hon. Thomas E. Watson of Mc-
Duffie County, Georgia. He was re
elected in 1884 and 1886. He was
elected Solicitor General of the
Western Circuit, composed of the
counties of Clarke, Oconee, Walton,
Gwinnett, Jackson, Banks and Frank
lin, in 1891, and served four years.
He was defeated for re-election by
the late Hon. C. H. Brand, by the
General Assembly for said office,
who then lived at Lawrenceville, Ga.
Two years later Judge Russell, in
1898, defeated Judge N. L. Hutch
ins, of Lawrenceville, who had been
Judge of the Superior Court for 16
years. He resigned from the Su
perior Court in 1906, to matfqc' the
race for Governor of Georgia. Hon.
Hoke Smith was elected. Hon. J.
H. Estill of Savannah, Georgia, and
the late James M. Smith, of Ogle
thorpe County, were also in the race.
He was elected the same year in the
State election in October to the
Court of Appeals. He resigned in
1916, to make the race for Congress
in the Ninth District of Georgia,
against Hon. Thomas M. Bell. Mr.
Bell was elected. He practiced law
until 1922, and then ran for Chief
Justice of the Georgia Supreme
Court. He was elected over his op
ponent in the State Democratic
Primary by seventy-seven thousand
majority, in 1928. He was return
ed without opposition in 1934'. His
present term would have run until
1940 had he lived. Chief Justice
Russell, Sr., was a great man and
kind hearted gentleman of humani
tarian principals. May he rest with
the Great Chief Justice of the Uni
verse, who doeth all things well. He
was buried at Winder, Barrow Coun
ty, Georgia, on December 6, to wait
the call of the Chief Justice of the
Universe, who is the judge of all
mankind on earth. His family has
my deepest sympathy in this then
hour of bereavement.
On November 8, in the general
election in the Fifth District of
Massachusetts, Mrs. Edith Nouse
Rogers was re-elected to the Seven
ty-Sixth Congress, by seventy-one
thousand majority, over her Oppon
ent. She has been a member of
Congress since 1925. She is the
most popular lady in the House, and
has a great personality. She is
known by people in all walks of life,
and is very popular with Democrats,
as well as Republicans, on Capitol
Hill, as well as the Fifth District of
Massachusetts. Her home is at
Lowell, Massachusetts.

MRS. R. S. SAILORS GOES TO
HER REWARD
They are not lost who find
The sunset gate, the goal
Of all the weary years.
Not lost are they who reach
The summit of their climb,
The peak above the clouds
And storms. They are not loat
Who find the light of sun
And stars and God.
On Saturday morning, December
10, at 9 o’clock, Mrs. R. S. Sailors
passed from this world to the world
beyond, at Alien’s Hospital, in
Hoschton. For the past few months
her health had been impaired, but
she bore her suffering with Christian
fortitude.
She had been at the hospital near
ly a week, when peace and dream
less sleep came to bear her beyond
the horizon of earth to await the
coming of her loved ones.
Mrs. Bernice Roberts Sailors was
a member of the Baptist Church,
and was ever a consecrated Chris
tian and loyal church member. All
who knew her could say she was a
loving, devoted wife and mother, a
Christian neighbor and a loyal
friend.
The home will sadly miss her,
where she is survived by husband,
seven children and ten grandchil
dren. The sons are, Tom, Atlanta;
Frank, Soperton; Lewis, Pender
grass; Charlie and Y. Z., Jefferson.
The two daughters are Mrs. C. W.
Madden and Mrs. Polk Benton, Jr.,
Jefferson.
She was 63 years old. The funer
al was held at Academy Church.
Rev. R. M. Rigdon of Jefferson con
ducted the services. Her body was
laid to rest in the Academy ceme
tery, there to await the resurrection
morn; and the mound was covered
with beautiful flowers, the expres
sion of love and friendship of neigh
bors and friends, typical of the life
she lived.
You who loved her most
It only seems a little way
To that strange country,
“The Beyond,”
For it has grown to be the home of
those
Of whom you are so fond.
You need not think of it as death,
It is hut crossing with bated breath
A little strip of shore,
To find your loved ones waiting
there,
More wonderful,
More precious than before.

W. L. and Donald Barnett were
with Lawrence Hill awhile Sunday
afternoon.
Douglas Barnett spent the week
end with home folks.
We were sorry to hear of the
passing of Mrs. Robert Sailors at the
Allen Hospital, where she had been
taken for treatment. She had not
been feeling well for some time, and
her family and friends did not know
of her severe suffering until quite
recently. Nothing pleased her
more than to have her children gath
er at the old home for the week
ends and holidays. Indeed, a good
mother has passed on. We extend
our sympathy to the family.
Sorry to say our Sunday school
has been on the drag for awhile, but
we will meet at 2.30 next Sunday
afternoon, and Rev. Foster of Com
merce will be with us at 3. Won’t

ye scribe’s first time to be there for
a funeral, although he had been go

for over 50 years. He met many
old friends that he was delighted to
see and shake hands with.

PEANUTS PASS COTTON IN
SUMTER
Americus, Ga.—Peanuts have dis
placed cotton as Sumter County’s
No. 1 crop for the first time in his
tory.
Sumter farmers planted 1,000
acres more in peanuts than in cot
ton this year and are receiving,
minus government subsidy payments,
$672,000 as compared with an esti
mated cotton income of $383,880,
County Agent J. K. Luck said.
Although government payments
on cotton are ten times those on
peanuts, Sumter’s total nut income
still exceeds that of cotton. The
government is paying cotton farm
ers $300,000, making the total cot
ton income $683,880. Peanut grow
ers are receiving $30,000 in govern
ment checks, making their total
$702,000.
609 HOLC LOANS PAID IN
GEORGIA
Washington.—The Home Owners’
Loan Corporation has written “paid
in full” across accounts totaling
more than $100,000,000 and has
checked off its books the names of
4,000 American home owners who
only a few years ago faced the loss
of their homes through foreclosure.
In Georgia, 609 have paid in full,
the amount in total being $1,208,-
645.
Shooting of fireworks has already
begun in Jefferson. Many Georgia
cities have ordinances that prohibit
the shooting of fireworks within the
city limits, and we are inclined to
believe that the law is a good one.
It reduces fire hazards.
