ALONG THE WAY
At the recent term of Jackson
Superior Court, Traverse Jurors for
the first week were released from
further service on Monday, except
one panel which tried a case that
was not finished that day. The
second week jurors were all dis
charged the first day. Except di
vorce cases, the above mentioned
case was the only one tried. At
this term, records showed that only
one person was sued for debt. There
was not a trial of a criminal case.
The Grand Jury was in session only
two days the first week and the
same number of days the second.
Not many true bills were returned
by the Grand Jury. From this, it
is evident that there is little bad
conduct among the people of the
county and they % are also meeting
their financial obligations. This
record of the court speaks well for
the people of Jackson County as
law abiding citizens.

The report to the Grand Jury of
County Treasurer, Miss Cully Rob
erts, shows that the finances of the
County are in healthy condition.
Cash on hand December 31st, 1945,
was $57,642.62, while the total cash
assets six months previous were
$44,697.63. The cash balances had
increased nothwithstanding purchase
of equipment and doing much road
work. The Chairman of the Board
of Commissioners, W. A. Wages, re
ported that the county bought a
soil loader, two portable rock crush
ers and some other equipment. He
says the county expects to soil at
least 100 miles road this year, be
sides building permanent bridges,
putting in culverts and doing cer
tain special work in using crushed
stone in many places. The Chair
man reported that the convicts are
kept busy on the roads. It is better
to keep them there than in fields, j
* * * *
The County is free of debt. It
now pays no interest, our road work
on county roads is paid for by the
county as the work is accomplished.
The county, so the Chairman states,
could use successfully the labor of
several additional convicts. There is
no better plan to use the labor of
convicts than on the highways. It
would be profitable to the counties
and economy to the state if some of
the convvicts now in the prison in
Tatnall county were put to work
by the counties on the highways.

Many have been the favorable
comments made on .the speech of
Rev. E. H. Collins delivered recent
ly in Jefferson Rotarians, Subject,
“Too Busy to Live.” There is no
doubt that wjvle the United States
were in war, there has been such a
scarcity of help that many people
are overworked and they should
rest and relax. They are tired and
nervous and less work and more
rest would improve their health and
increase their efficiency. One man
said of this speech, “It is good for
a man to have calm and quiet
meditation and time to study him
self. Someone has said, “Know
Thyself." One should criticise, com
mend and explain to himself, but
one thing he should never do and
that is to pity himself. Instead of
self pity, he should remember the
words of David to his son, Solomon.
“Be thou strong and show thyself a
man.’’ The address of Mr. Collins
has certainly caused much favor
able comment.

After his name had been mention
ed as a possible candidate for Gov
ernor, H. L. Wingate, president of
the Farm Bureau of Georgia,
promptly gave an interview in
which he stated positively and un

equivocally that he will not seek
the Gubernatorial nomination. This
prompt expression from him was
gratifying to the members and
friends of the Farm Bureau which
has a big and important work to
do for the famers of Georgia. It is
a great organization. Wingate’s
present position as head of the
Farm Bureau will enable him to do
more for the cause of agriculture
than he could in the Executive
Chair of the State. Besides, if the
head of this organization should
seek political preferment, it would
impair its prestige and influence.
The Farm Bureau is now increasing
it's membership rapidly and its
value to the farmers is now just
being fully recognized. It has a
great work before it and its presi
dent has a tremendous responsibili
ty. Wingate is performing the du
ties of his office with splendid suc
cess. He has a big job. Let him
keep it and not seek office.

Senator W. M. Holsenbeck of
Winder said about the new sena
torial district reorganization in
Georgia: “Jackson, Barrow and Oco
nee are all in the same soil conser
vation district. When counties con
stitute the same soil conservation
district that almost eliminates coun
ty lines. These three counties, to
gether with Clarke, are working in
perfect harmony for soil conser
vation and increased productivity of
the land.” Then along comes Bob
Kelly who says that the Jackson
Electric Membership Corporation
serves three of these counties on
the Oconee River Soil Conservation
district with electricity through the
corporation of which he is the
manager. So it seems that there
is no objection to the work of the
Legislature in putting Barrow,
Oconee and Jackson in the 27th
Senatorial district.

Mrs. Helen D. Mankin was elect
ed to Congress last week from the
sth Congressional district of which
Atlanta is a part. Mrs. Mankin is a
lawyer and an able and conscientious
legislator. She has repressented Ful
ton county very successfully in the
Georgia House and she will without
doubt make a capable Congress
woman. She financed four-fifths of
the expenses of her campaign and
made no promises to any firm, cor
poration or individual. She is the
first woman ever elected to Con
gress in Georgia and will be the
j 10th woman member of congress.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
At present there are four Democrats
and five Republican women in Con
gress. The election of Mrs. Mankin
will mike an equal number of
Democrats and Republicans in the
National House of Representatives.
In one voting district in Fulton in
which the voters are practically all
colored, Mrs. Mankin received 962
votes and her closest opponent,
Thomas L. Camp, only 7. She is a
great campaigner and a very smart
politician. She knows how to get
votes of all colors and different oc
cupations.
The Pearl Harbor investigation
continues. What certain people
sought to show was that President
Roosevelt knew in advance of the
Japs intention to attack and de
liberately withheld the information
in order to “trap” the American
people into war. Recently, Justice
Roberts, who headed the first in
vestigation v/as on the witness
stand. He is a Republican. He ex
ploded the claim that the original
Roberts reports were suppressed by
President Roosevelt. He swore the
President ordered it published down
to the last detail. Every effort by
this investigating committee to dis
honor President Roosevelt haa prov
ed a boomerang. Failing ir, \jheir
efforts to defame and to detract
one iota from the greatness of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the commit
tee should now find out and publish
the information to the world the
name of the person who informed
Thomas E. Dewey, Republican can
didate for President, that the Unit
ed States Army had deciphered the
Jap Code.
DISTRICT WARDEN
CONVICTS FIRE SETTERS
Mr. E. H. Terry, District Fire
Warden of the Georgia State De
partment of Forestry, announces
the sucessful conviction of two per
sons in Rockdale County for setting
forest fires.
These fires burned last year, at
which time they were investigated
by Mr. Teerry, and the guilty per
sons caught and their bonds set at
$500.00 each. Later their bonds
were forfeited and court ordered
their bonds raised to $1,000.00 each.
During January they were brought
to court and convicted of felony by
the jury with recommendation of
the jury to the court as a misde
meanor. The court allowed \ the
guilty parties to pay $500.00 damage
and a fine of $25.00 each, and a
12 months suspended sentence in a
labor camp.
It is through the District Warden’s
work with the Judges throughout
the Gainesville District and proper
explanation of the new forest fire
laws that we are receiving such fine
cooperation in matters against fire
setters.
A proud new father telegraphed
the glad news to his brother in
these words: “A handsome boy has
come to my house and claims to be
your nephew.’’
The brother, however, failed to
see the point, and telegraphed
back: “I have no nephew. The
young man is an imposter and a
raud.”

islature requires all baby chicks
produced or sold in Georgia to be
from flocks thaht have been tested
and found to show less than 4 95-

Another provision of the law re
quires hatcheries and dealers to be

"Here's How"
Q. How do I make liquid milk
from milk powder?
A. Use one cup of powdered
milk for each quart of water or one
fourth cup of powdered milk to
one cup of water. Measure the
water and pour it into a mixing
bowl, then sprinkle the milk powd
er over the surface and beat until
dissolves. ’J’he water may be cold
to war/n.
Q. How should eggs be prepared
for freezing?
A. Use only clean fresh whole
eggs. Wash thoroughly to avoid
bacterial contamination and do not
let any egg shell get into the broken
egg. Eggs may be frozen without
separating whites from yolks, or
whites may be frozen in one con
tainer and yolks in another.
If not to be sparated, break each
egg separately into a clean bowl.
Discard any with any abnormal ap
pearance of the white or yolk.
Mix yolks and whites with a fork
but do not beat air into them. To
each pint of stirred eggs add one
teaspoon of salt or one tablespoon of
sugar, honey or corn syrup and mix
again. This addition decreases the
gumminess of thawed eggs, making
them more fluid.
Put the broken eggs into moisture
and vapor proof containers. Small
containers are recommended.
Q. Will you suggest a sound
program for a farm family to follow?
A. Such a program might in
clude (1) grow all the food and feed
crops necessary to maintain live
stock and people, (2) grow a variety
of cash crops for sale, (3) cover the
land with such crops as lespedeza,
Austrian winter peas, vetch, crim
son clover, kudzu and sericea, (4)
increase the livestock on the farm
when the feed crops and pasture
warrent expansion, (5) prevent and
control forest fires and practice se
lective cutting in the farm woodlot
for fuel wood and forest products,
(6) stress health and home life and
utilize health facilities in the county.
Q. I would like information in
preparing a sweet potato bed.
A. February is a good time to
LADY’S STOMACH WAS
LIKE A GAS FACTORY;
MEALS TURNED TO GAS
One lady said recently that her
stomach used to be like a “gas
factory!” That is, when she ate a
meal it seemed to turn right into
gas. She was always bloated, had
awful stomach gas pains, daily
headaches and constant irregular
bowel action. Now, however, this
lady says she is FREE of STOMACH
GAS and she says the change is due
to taking INNER-AID. Her meals
agree with her. No gas or bloat
after eating. Headaches and consti
pation are gone. “Oh! what re
lief!’’ states this lady. “Why don’t
other gas and constipation sufferers
get INNEJI-AID.
INNER-AID contains 12 Great
Herbs: they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable peo
ple soon feel different all over. So

construct, repair or renew fire-heat
ed or electric type beds. Equip
ment needed for the electrical beds
should be ordered immediately,
since delivery of this equipment
may be slow, and the materials for
the flue-heated bed should be as
sembled as soon as possible so that
work can start without delay.
If an old bed is used, it’s a good
idea to renew it now. All old dirt
should be removed and the bed,
framework and surrounding area
should be drenched with formalde
hye solution. Prepare the solution
by mixing one pint of formaldehyde
in 15 gallons of water and use
sprinkling can in drenching the bed
and the area. Allow the bed to air
at least a few days after disinfect
ing. Do not use manure as a source
of heat in potato hotbeds as manure
is liable to cause or spread disease
in theh bed.
