THE JACKSON HERALD
$1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE
PUBLISHED WEEKLY
Entered at The Jefferson Post Office
As Second-Class Mail Matter
ALONG THE WAY
There was no column last week,
“Along The Way.” We were disabled
from performance of daily duties by
Flu, which affected our throat and
bronchials, but a course of Penicillin
soon overcame this malady. As this
remedy was administered we could
not fail to think of the wonderful
progress made by medical science
in the development of not only
Penicillin but Sulpha drugs, Strep
tomycin and other remedies for pre
vailing ills of the human family. If
socialized medicine should be put
into practice it would, in our opin
ion, greatly hinder if not stop the
marvelous and progressive efforts of
medical science. It has been stated
upon good authority that the gen
eral health of this nation is higher
than that of any other in the world.
Freedom from government inter
ference, but government co-opera
tion, has played a great part in indi
vidual and private research and
initiative. Nothing should be done to
discourage and hinder these efforts
to keep people well and to make
them well when they become ill.
Last week as above stated we
could do nothing towards helping
print the Herald, so Mrs. Holder and
Mr. Fuller had every task to per
form and just about midnight the
press wheels began to turn and the
folder to put the paper in shape for
mailing. So the next morning Mr.
Cody found the papers ready to be
sent out as usual to the readers. Last
week was one of the most difficult
ever experienced in preparing,
printing and mailing this publica
tion. We try never to be a day late
in getting the paper frcm the press.
Last Sunday our daughter, Mrs. 1
Carroll Griffin of Atlanta, paid us
a visit. She had never seen the new
Andrew Jackson Hotel in Com
merce, so we carried her to Com
merce where we all participated in
the midday meal, which we enjoyed
very much. The thing, however,
that gave us even more pleasure
than a feast was meeting in the
dining room, Mr. and Mrs. Mose
Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Bolton,
Mrs. C. W. Hood and R. L. Rogers.
After leaving Commerce we drove
down the Athens-Commerce high
way via Nicholson and Center to
the Classic City. We are very proud
that this road is now paved from
beginning to end.
It was our good fortune to attend ,
the 30th Anniversary of the Albert
Gordon Post of the American Le
gion, held last Wednesday night in
the City Hall. Polite and suave Fos
ter Eckles is the Commander, and
popular Miss Jewell Alexander is the
President of the Woman’s Auxiliary.
C. E. Robinson and Byrd Martin
have seen to it since the organiza
tion of this Post that the Editor and
Associate Editor have an invitation

each year to this splendid gather
ing of patriotic sons and daughters
of Jackson County. We enjoy these
meetings and the entertainment giv
en and the feast provided. The en
tertainment by Mr. and Mrs. B. C.
Hill, and the feast last week has
never been surpassed in the history
of this Jackson County organization.
Since we have six grandsons, five
of whom were in World War 11, we
feel mighty close to the American
Legion.
An election has been called by
Judge L. B. Moon on April 5, for
the voters to determine whether ad
ditional taxes shall be levied in the
State to provide more revenue for
education, highways, pen si o ns,
health, etc. Every county in the
State will hold this election on the
above named date. Old registration
holds good for this election. It is true
people are already heavily burden
ed with taxes, but more money is
needed to meet the emergencies
named in the subjects above. A sales
tax and some more income taxes
are the two principal sources from
which to obtain funds. Some people
are very much averse to a sales tax,
but several neighboring states have
it and are apparently well pleased
with it. Let Georgia try this method
of raising more revenue. If they
find they are not pleased with it
they can repeal the law.
It is not a scientific problem to
grow sweet potatoes. Almost every
farmer has a sweet potato patch,
but the big problem is preventing
potatoes from decomposing, famil
iarly known as rotting. We know of
one farmer who is a success in carry
ing his sweet potatoes through the
Winter and in the Spring when he
opens his bank finds them sound
and palatable, and that man is Carl
ton Sims of Apple Valley. For sev
eral years he has demonstrated to
us that he knows how to prevent
potatoes from decaying by bringing
us a bushel of sound, well flavored
and uniform in size sweet potatoes
each Spring. We appreciate his gift
and enjoy partaking of this palat
able and healthy food. Mr. Sims is
a valuable asset to Georgia.
Night Marshall Marcus H. Bailey
was making his last rounds for the
night and went down to Rat Row
where he visited Blue Heaven Cafe.
Two Negroes were discussing Civil
Rights. One asked a question of
Marshall Bailey, who answered:
“Well, as long as we have the right
to choose our own wife, the school
to which to send our children, the
church in which to worship God, the
community in which to live, the doc
tor to practice in our family, the
candidate for whom to vote, the
bank in which to deposit our money.
“We should not complain. We
have many rights and blessings
The Jackson Herald, Jefferson, Georgia
which people in some other lands
do not enjoy. Here in our country,
we can select our own occupation,
and we are protected in travelling
our highways unmolested and we
are permitted to express our senti
ments either in private conversation
or public print. I can truly say it is
great to be an American citizen.”
His listeners heard him with intense
interest.
