It is always a pleasure to com
ply with requests to publish com
munications. but we have not the
space nor the office force to print
sermons, speeches and long essays.
In sending us matter not strictly
news we request the elimination of
all non-essential phraseology and
condense until only the important
substance remains. Except on extra
ordinary subjects, manuscript when
transposed into type should not oc
cupy more than one column of
newspaper space. We appreciate
the splendid work of our corre
spondents in gathering news and
local happenings. Their weekly con
tributions constitute an important
part of our newspaper. If the pub
lication of correspondents’ copy is
delayed sometimes, it is due to un
foreseen contingencies. It is our
sincere desire to avoid delay of their
publication. We are very proud of
our correspondents and the splen
did service they are giving to the
readers of this paper. We think our
force of newsgatherers is unsur
passed.
In his address to Jefferson Rotary
last week Pittman Carter, County
School Superintendent, showed his
thorough familiarity with school
matters in Jackson County. School
data, statistics and needs for the
entire county and every local school
in the county were at the tip of his
tongue. There was in his talk an
absence of the “ego,” but in speak
ing of the solution of problems in
operation of the schools, it was “we”
—the County Board, teachers, the
people and the children themselves
who must aid in their solution.
When informed by the State De
partment of Education that the
State would provide only 100 teach
ers next year instead of 106, the
number the State pays for now, he
did not complain nor criticise, but
proceeded at once to solve the prob
lem by deciding to carry out the
suggestion of the State Board of
Education to levy 15 mills for edu
cation in Jackson instead of 12,
thereby doing a little more our
selves. His address was one of the
most informative and interesting
heard by the Jefferson Rotary Club.
A copy of a book, “Front Porch
Farmer,” written by Channmg
Cope, has been received. Mr. Cope
writes for the Atlanta Constitution
and broadcasts over WCON each
day. In addition he owns a farm of
700 acres named the “Yellow River
Farm,” which is located in Newton
County. In his book he tells how
he farms from the front porch of
his home. We appreciate the book
and we have been entertained, in
structed and fascinated in reading
its pages. Mr. Cope has “made over”
the Yellow River Farm by practic
ing soil conservation. He has con
verted a worn out, eroded, gullied
and impoverished farm, into a year
round green pasture where cattle
feed themselves. Mr. Cope has made
the land “live again,” and in so
doing has brought substantial finan
cial reward to his own efforts. We
especially enjoyed reading that part
of his book where reference is made
to Will Johnson and Aunt Susie,
Ida and Ada the mules, Jack the'

dog, Goosie and Gandhi, his pets,
and the achievement of his tractors,
plows, harrows and rakes. We were
born and reared on a farm and ever
since we attained our majority have
engaged in agricultural efforts. We
know something of the trials, tribu
lations and hardships of farming.
We are glad to know that Mr. Cope
has learned a better and easier
system of farming than toiling and
sweating, making cotton, fighting
the boll weevil.
Mr. Cope’s “Front Porch Farmer’
portrays a plan to produce greater
profits to the land owner and at
the same time conserve the soil and
make the land more productive. We
think the book is a valuable contri
bution to Georgia’s agriculture.
The following information comes
from G. E. Metz, Registrar of Clem
son College, S. C., to Mrs. D. F
Gasaway, “It is indeed a pleasure
to send you the enclosed copy of
our recent honor list. Glen qualified
for the list and we feel sure you
have every right to be proud of his
excellent record. With congratula
tions and best wishes.” The Glen
referred to is Glen P. Gasaway of
Jefferson, son of Mrs. D. F. Gasa
way and brother of R. D. Gasaway.
He graduated from old Martin In
stitute of this city with first honor.
He is married, his wife being the
former Miss Ella Grace Toney. They
have one child. Mr. Gasaway is 2nd
Lieut, in the Reserve Corps. He will
graduate in Textile Engineering
from Clemson College next Febru
ary. Of the ten subjects he is now
studying he made grade A in eight
and grade B in two. He is a young
student of whom Clemson/ College
and friends here at home are very
proud.
The manager of the Gainesville
Midland Railroad, Mr. Wilson, is
making improvements on the road
by putting in new crossties, recon
ditioning the roadbed and ballast
ing with crushed stone the roadbed
and track. Where this work has been
done the G .M. now looks like a
sure enough standard gauge road.
The service the railroad is giving is
satisfactory. The express office
should remain in the G. M. depot.
There is some talk of moving it
elsewhere, but Mr. Maffett is ren
dering such splendid service not on
ly as depot agent but also as express
agent, that it would be a mistake
not to let the office remain in the
depot, so Mr. Maffett can continue
to fill both jobs and thereby give
better service than to separate the
depot and express offices.
The express office does not pay
enough to employ a person all his
time, but both offices just about
keep one man busy. So both should
remain, it seems to us, at the G. M.
Depot.
At the recent commencement of
Braselton High School, each one of
the three Braselton brothers, Henry,
Green and John, was presented a
diploma for thirty years service to
the school. About thirty years ago
Braselton Brothers at their own ex
pense constructed a modern school
building. Not long after its comple-

tion, a storm not only wrecked pri
vate property of the three B’s to
the amount of about a quarter of
a million dollars, but destroyed the
new school house. With faith, cour
age and a good credit, the new
school structure was rebuilt and
their private losses rehabilitated. It
required hard work, good judgment
and economy to pay for the dam
age done by the storm. During all
these years of repairing losses the
support of the school came first and
it is one of the best high schools in
the State system.
It was an expression of appre
ciation of the people of that com
munity in insisting on the school
giving to the Braselton brothers
diplomas of faithful and efficient
service to the school covering a
period of thirty years.
The profession of acting was con
fined entirely to men in ancient
Greece, according to the Encyclo
