NOTES from the national
CAPITOL
(By E. B. Betts)
The governor of the state of Min
nesota was named keynoter of the
'Republican National Convention,
which meets June 24, to nominate a
candidate for president and vice
p'esident to be voted for on Novem
ber sth, 1940. The committee meets
here, April 17. This young keynoter
only 33 years of age. The con
vention will be held at Philadelphia.
Hon. J. W. Martin, Jr., the republi
can minority leader of the house
from the fourteenth district of Mass
achusettes, was recommended for
permanent chairman of the commit
tee. They are both fine men of the
Alexander Hamilton School of poli
tical thought in the political arena
of America.
tt t t
The writer on April 17 received a
nice letter from Hon. Joshua L.
Johns of the eighth district of Wis
consin. This is a copy of the let
ter: “I want to take this oppor
tunity of thanking you for your
kindness in inserting in your column
in the Jackson Herald of Jefferson,
Ga., a note on the passing of Mrs.
Johns. It was kind and thoughtful
of you and I want you to know that
I appreciate it. Sincerely your,
Joshua L. Johns.”
Mr. Johns was first elected to con
gress from the eighth district of
Wisconsin in November, 1938, re
ceiving 33,354 votes against Hon.
George Schenider’s 29,035, the pro
gressive incumbent; 28,221 for Hon.
John E. Cashman, democrat, and 1,-
513 for Hon. Peter J. Bloud.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution are in session here this
week from the 48 states of the
United States of America.
tt t t
Mr. Richard F. Wagner, who at
the age of eight years enlisted in
the union in the war of 1861-1862,
1863 and 1864, died here on April
16, at his home here at the age of
83. He was buried in the congres
sional cemetery on April 18th.
tt t t
Justice Peyton Gordon of the
District of Columbia court, who will
be 70 years of age on April 30,
1940, is quite ill at home here.
tt t t
This year, 1940, will probably be
the last general election held in No
vember. A bill slated for passage in
both houses of congress would
change- the federal election laws to
move the time to October. The
reason is that with congress meet
ing now on January 20th, instead
of March, November elections allow
too little time for congressmen and
senators to settle contested election
for new members; to get their pri
vate affairs in order and for leading
democrats and republicans to pre
pare for congressional political bat
tles.
YOUNG MAN, CAN YOU SAVE
MONEY?
(Albany Herald)
The ability to save is just as com
mendable today as it was when Ben
jamin Franklin was writing maxims
for Poor Richirrd’s Almanac. Tak
ing care of the pennies and watch
ing them grow into dollars does not
seem to be anything like as popular
today as it was in an earlier time,
for there are too many things for
which to spend pennies—and dollars.
Young John D. Rockefeller saved
his pennies and dimes till he had a
nest egg of a thousand dollars, which
was the foundation on which the
Rockefeller fortune was built. In
later years Mr. Rockefeller said that
getting his first thousand dollars was
more difficult than was the accumu
lation of millions in later years, but
the result fully justified the self
denial that was rigidly practiced.
The young man who can save
money (and there are some who
can) will manage to get along. In
all likelihood he will some day own
a business—and make a success of
it because he learned the value of
money when he undertook to save it.
NUMBER OF MILES INCREASE
YEARLY ON RURAL DELIVERY
In 1897, Rural Free Delivery was
inaugurated in the United, States
and each year since, excepting two,
the number of miles covered has
been increased.
Last year nearly 5,000 extensions
of service were made, adding 66,-
000 families to the network of re
ceivers and providing improved ser
vice for 79,000 other families.
In the past 10 years 97,000 miles
have been added to the regular
schedules. R. F. D. now covers 1,-
387,000 miles and serves 26,000,000
individuals.
PAYMENT TO THE UNEMPLOYED
Unemployed workers in Jackson
County received no benefits from
the Bureau of Unemployment Com
pensation of the State Department
of Labor during the week ending
April 13, 1940, Commissioner of
Labor Ben T. Huiet announced.
Total payments to Georgia work
ers that week amounted to $75,923.-
01, represented by 12,563 checks
which went into 116 counties of
the state.
Jive hundred fifty-nine payments
for $4,609.93 to workers in other
states who previously had establish
ed wage credits in Georgia, brought
the total to $80,532.94.
Number and amount of checks
mailed by the Bureau ranged from
two checks for $1.60 in Clayton
County to 2,223 checks for $16,-
818.98 in the Atlanta area, which is
composed of Fulton and DeKalb
counties.
A good farm fence adds greatly
to the attractiveness of a farmstead.
It is a mark of thrift. And, it is
an important item in farm manage
ment, since fences may be used to
protect farm properties and lesson
losses of both crops and livestock.

Anew circular designed to aid
Georgia farmers in growing lespe
deza has been published by the Geor

INSURANCE
Jefferson, Georgia
Born of the necessity for articulate leader
ship in the still stormy years that followed the
War Between the States; nurtured early on the
substantial, soul-filling ideals that burn in the
hearts of Atlanta and Georgia people; striding
through militant, clear-eyed youth into vigorous,
seasoned maturity as an ever-dependable cham
pion of its own good neighbors—The Atlanta
Constitution, from editor to copy-boy, always
has been and always will be as southern as a
platter hot biscuit. As Georgia and the
South have moved forward, so has The Consti
tion. And —as this richly endowed region con
tinues its swift forward pace—this newspaper
will move along with it, as close to the head of
the procession as deep interest, complete sin
cerity, spirited enthusiasm and an unswerving
and unswervable devotion to its city and its
state and its people can ever place it. Such na
tures don’t change overnight, especially when
they have been growing stronger for as long as
71 years.
