Interest in the race for President
is becoming more intense each
week. There are four active candi
dates —President Harry S. Truman,
the Democratic nominee; Governor
Thomas E. Dewey of New York,
Republican candidate; Governor J.
Strom Thurmond of South Carolina,
heading the cause of Civil Rights;
and Henry A. Wallace, bearing the
banner of the Progressive Party.
The last named candidate will not
carry a state, Governor Thurmond
will probably carry some Southern
states, but the real race is between
Truman and Dewey. Thus far Tru
man has been the most aggressive
of all the candidates. All these stan-
dard bearers are speech making,
but Truman manes more each week
than any other. In his criticism of
Congress he is quite severe, espec
ially his denunciation of some of
the provisions of the Taft-Hartley
labor law. He has the support of
labor leaders except John L. Lewis,
who is vehemeht in his opposition
to the President, but there is little
doubt that Truman will receive an
overwhelming majority of the la
bor vote. Truman and Dewey are
both in favor of Civil Rights. Poll
takers and political analysts predict
the election of Dewey. The Repub
licans have plenty of funds for their
campaign, while the coffers of the
Democrats are not full. In Georgia,
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee named electors for the Demo
cratic ticket, all of whom have
stated they will vote for Truman if
elected. Good men were chosen.
Ever since the War Between the
Starts, Georgia has voted the regu
lar Democratic ticket. This year, the
Democratic Standard Bearer, Harry
Truman, has very active opposition.
He may carry Georgia but there is
a pronounced sentiment for Thur
mond and a large following for
Dewey.

One of the important assets of
agriculture is R. E. A. It is always
a pleasure to read of the progress,
achievements and benefits of this
organization. Walter Harrison, of
Millen, is the State President of the
R. E. A. Association of Georgia and
he writes us as follows:
“The farmers and business men of
Georgia will be given the oppor
tunity to hear at first hand about
the problems of R. E. A. and agri
culture in general, when Secretary
of Agriculture Charles F. Brannen
speaks at the Municipal Auditorium
in Macon, Georgia, on Wednesday,
October 13th, at 7 o’clock.
“Secretary Brannen is being in
vited to Georgia by the Georgia
Electric Membership Corporation
for the purpose of initiating plans
for the furtherance of the R. E. A.
program to every nook and corner
within the state. At this time, the
Board of Directors will take up with
the Secretary the matter of addi
tional allocations to this state and
many other kindred activities.’’
The Jackson Electric Membership
Corporation, one of the best units
in the U. S., will be represented by
President Seagraves, Superintend
ent Kelly and others.
The following letter is from one
of Georgia’s most brilliant, learned
and noble ladies, for whom we en
tertain sentiments of warm friend
ship and true devotion. Her kind
words will ever be remembered.
Monroe, Georgia,
September 30, 1948.
Mr. John N. Holder,
Jefferson, Georgia.
My Dear Friend:
I noticed in last week’s Jackson
Herald that you were to be present
ed a gold medal for having been a
member of Unity Lodge of Masons
for 50 years, and I am writing to
tender you my sincere congratula
tions. I have always been an ad-
The Jackson Herald, Jefferson, Georgia
mirer of or rather a lover of the
Masons. I have in my possession
now, a lovely tribute to my father,
who was a devoted member,written
and signed by W. A. Worsham. J. S.
Hunter and J.F. Harrjson, and dated
September the 24th, 1862. It was
sent to Athens, with a personal re
quest, by the lodge, that it be print
ed in an Athens paper. I found this
tribute in my mother’s old Bible,
and of course I greatly value it.
Then my husband was a Mason and
then my son, the late Dr. Harry B.
Nunnally, and his son, George B.
Nunnally, who was killed in action
at Angio Beachhead in the late
war and my son-in-law, Mr. George
M. Napier, was at one time Grand
Master of Georgia.
With best wishes and warmest
love to Mrs. Holder and yourself, I
am as always,
Your sincere friend,
Eula (Mrs. W. H.) Nunnally.
Mrs. Nunnally was Miss Eula
Gober before her marriage to W. H.
Nunnally. She was born, reared and
educated in Jefferson and is the
niece of another prominent Mason,
the late H. W. Bell, who for many
years was the Worshipful Master
of Unity Lodge No. 36, F. & A. M.
He vouched for us when we knock
ed on the door of Masonry and
sought admission to her hallowed
precincts, and he took an active
part in our initiation. Judge Bell
was not only a prominent and act
ive Mason, but a capable public of
ficial, having served the county as
Ordinary for twenty years. Also, he
was Mayor of Jefferson, played an
active and prominent part in estab
lishing enterprises in the city,
building school houses, for the edu
cation of the children of this county,
and he was a faithful and loyal
churchman. His name is inseparate
iy linked with the history of Jack
son County in peace and also in
war, as he was a brave Confederate
soldier. His niece, Mrs. W. H. (Eula
Gober) Nunnally was one of the
most popular young ladies ever
reared in this little city. We appre
ciate her letter congratulating us on
being a Mason 56 years. Our heart
abounds in deep gratitude to the
Giver of All Blessings for sparing
our lives to receive the beautiful
gold gift from the Grand Lodge of
Masons in Georgia.
We miss those Monday morning
visits of Dr. John F. Yarbrough of
Decatur and Rev. W. E. Snipes of
Anderson. S. C. While serving as
pastors in this city they frequently
visited this office on Monday morn
ing and we enjoyed their philoso
phy, wisdom and their true stories
of life. Please do not misunderstand
us. We appreciate all the ministers
of our city, Rev. J. D. Matheson,
Rev. H. R. Allegood, Rev. Lamar H.
Watkins, Rev. C. li. Moncrief, Rev.
Milo H. Massey, Rev. Truman
Thomas and Rev. A. O. Hood, who
come by our office occasionally and
when they visit us they bring cheer
and pleasure and are an inspiration
to us in performing our duties. They
are all doing a good work here and
they are entwined in the hearts of
the people of this community, but
all this does not restrain ds from
missing the two good friends who
moved away.
A few davs ago Dr. and Mrs. H.
R. Howell carried us to ride in their
new car and we drove by the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Bryan, Jr.,
which is located in a forest just
outside the city limits near the old
Lawrenceville and Jefferson road.
We did not intend to stop, but a
water hose across the road necessi
j tated halting just in front of the
i residence. Mrs. Morris Bryan, Jr.,
| invited us into the home to see
the twin daughters of the house
hold, Mildred and Eileen. We
found Mrs. M. M. Bryan, Sr.
i holding Mildred, but Eileen was
I asleep. Both are healthy looking,
! beautiful children and promise to
J grow to be lovely young ladies.
The father of these attractive
babies, Morris, Jr., was in Chicago.
We met him a few days after our
visit and told him how much we
enjoyed seeing the pretty twins and
added, “They are the image of their
father.” We told him that until we
looked into the face of our first
born, we did not realize the great
responsibilities of life.
Boone Suddath, of Maysville,
came into our office early last
Thursday morning. While he is 87,
his body is erect, his step quick
and elastic, his words sparkled with
wit and humor. His large farming
operations receive his personal at
tention. Conversing and talking
with people bring him real felicity,
but he never indulges in argument
or street debate. So far as we are
concerned, there are two subjects
we never debate with people—
politics and religion. When the ar
gument is over no one is convinced
and the debaters are usually mad.
We are always glad to see Mr. Sud
dath, and enjoy his wise cracks.
We hope many more years are still
before him to continue to carry on
his business operations, to serve
the church and to render fruitful
and unselfish service to his fellow
men.
It was a treat to have Mr. and
Mrs. Roy Niblack, of Washington,
D. C., visit the Herald Office on
Tuesday. Mr. Niblack is the son of
V. A. Niblack and the late Mrs.
Niblack. For several years he has
held a very responsible position
with the Treasury Department of

the United States and his old Jack
son County friends are very proud
of the record he has made in this
office. When he retires we hope that
he and Mrs. Niblack will decide to
make their home in Jackson
County.
One hundred and twenty-seven
Georgia newspapers were given
Amendments to the State Constitu
tion for publication for nine inser
tions at a cost of SIBO3 for each
paper. After three insertions, the
Attorney General gave an opinion
that their publication was illegal.
The Amendments were printed in
good faith and each newspaper that
carried them,, we believe, should
be in full for three insertions
of these Amendments. This would
result in no financial benefit to this
paper as it was not on the favored
list of papers. We understand that
this matter will have to be handled
by the General Assembly.
AMERICANS BECOMING
A NATION OF SITTERS
America is rapidly turning into
a nation of sitters and forgetting
how to walk.
That’s the charge made by Otis
Peabody Swift, son of the late J.
DON’T PUT IT OFF!
Don’t put off until tomorrow what you should
do today .... Better to be safe than sorry . . . .
Tomorrow may be too late.
Our job is to INSURE all property values —
and this means your value to your family, your
earning capacity, and ability to work.
General H.T. MOBLEY , nsurance
JEFFERSON. GEORGIA
Otis Swift, founder of the Yosian
Brotherhood of Walkers.
“We travel sitting down, in cars,
trains, planes and buses. We take
our fun sitting down, in movies, in
armchairs next to radio sets, in
baseball grandstands and football
stadia. We are becoming a nation
of sitters,” declares Swift in the
October Journal of Living.
Walking is more than a physical
exercise. It is actually a cure for
moods, says Swift. If you are angry,
take a walk—angrily if you must—
and you will find reason rapidly re
placing your rage. If you are wor
ried, a walk helps to clear your
mind. Even if you are tired, a men
tally stimulating walk will help
to rest you.
Some self-evident rules for walk
ing are pointed out by the Journal
of Living article. Choose stout
shoes that support the ankles, mod
erate heels, and loose clothes that
do not bind. Walking stimulates
the circulation, so don’t dress too
warmly.
Three miles per hour is a pleas
ant pace. Do not hurry—
Above all, keep your chin up and
look about you. See the world with
a fresh eye and enjoy it, for walk
ing is still one of the pleasures you
can enjoy without cost.
