Herald Presents Series
On The Communist Menace
Hie Herald is pleased to present, be
ginning this week, a series of articles on
communism, the ideology whose adherents
have vowed to control the United States and
the rest of the world.
1 his series is written by a Georgia Bap
tist minister, the Rev. Roger McDonald of
Newnan. The Rev. Mr. McDonald is a young
minister, a native of Rome, who has done
much study on the subject and lectures on
it frequently.
He writes a column for the Newnan
Herald-Times, “The Cleft of the Rock.”
and this series on communism appeared in
his column some time ago.
We present the five-part series as a
prelude to our celebration of Independence
Day on July 4. The first column appears
on page one. Succeeding columns may be
found on page 2.
It is our hope that you will take the
time to read these highly informative arti-

What Is our real quarrel with
communism? Ar*- we dealing
with two different philosophies
of government, which if handled
correctly could live in peace
ful co-existence? The answer
based on fact must be "No.”
At the roots of the issue
there is a war going on between
communism and a free demo
cratic society, also there is a
war between communism ar.j
the Christian faith which has
been the dominant religious
force within the framework of
the free society.
This means that our basic
enemy is not the Russian people
nor the Chinese people but the
Marxist philosophy.
What are the differences that
make peaceful co-existence im
possible?
One thing is our basic view of
history. The communist seeks
to coerce all history into the
frame-work of "Dialectical
Materialism.” The abbrevia
tion for this view is "Dlamot”
The term means human de
velopment takes place In the
cycle of changes and that all
of man's motives are econo
mically and materialistically
oriented. This m*?ans in the
mind of the dedicated com-
mnlst that there is an lnevit-
In the Manifesto Marx lists
ten changes necessary to bring
about the Communist Utopia.
1. Abolition of property in
land and application of all rents
of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or
graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of in
heritance.
4. Confiscation of the proper
ty of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in
the hands of the state, by means
of a national bank with State
capital and an exclusive mono
poly.
6. Centralization of the means
of communication and transport
in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and
Instruments of production own
ed by the State, the bringing
into culivation of waste lands,
and the improvement of the
soil generally in accordance
with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to
able evolutionary force at work latMr . tstabUshmc-nt oi Indus-
within history. This force or
process, they believe, to be

on U>etr side and express this % combination of agriculture
with manufacturing industries;
gradual abolition of the distinc
tion between town and country,
by a more equable distribution
of population over the country.
10. Free education for all
children in public schools.
Now this is the premise of the
Manifesto and the germ that
belief in such terminology as
"Time is on our side” and
"It is the will of history that
we will win."

Karl Marx ever considered
himself a believer of any kind,
Jewish nor Christian. He was 25
when he described religion as
"The opium of the people.”
After graduate study at the Uni
versity of Berlin, Marx edited a
radical newspaper in Germany.
When the newspaper VIA sup
pressed Marx had to flee from
Germany to escape arrest. He
went to Switzerland-—from
there to Paris and eventually to
England and to London where
he spent the closing years of his
life writing and lecturing.
Much of his support was pro
vided by a German friend,
Fredrick Engels, son of a
wealthy German cotton mill
owner, who had come to settle
in Manchester. While in London
Marx wrote "Das Kapltal.” But
before its publication Marx and
Engels collaborated In the year
1848 to publish the phamphlet
"Communist Manifesto”.
Tills work was the birth date
really of the communist move
ment It contained the science
of communist structure. It has
been described as the "Birth-
cry of Modern Socialism.” It
called on the worker* to unite
and overthrow their exploiters.
It was published at the request
of the Communist League* a
secret society In London. The
communists claim that the

Winder, who now holds the
post, is not running for re-

Much interest also will be
centered in the congressional
race, as a Jackson Countain,
Dr. J Albert Minish, opposes
Rep Phil Undrum. Dr Min
ish, a dentist, is now a state
senator and mayor of Com
merce. His platform calls for
and end to “give away pro
grams, deficit financing, big
government, increasing crime
and socialistic government."
“I feel that people every
where are fed up with the
mess in Washington," he said
in a recent statement. “It is
a sad day in America when
the mobs and hoodlums can
exercise so much authority in
our great country. I think our
citizens have heard and seen
too much marching, shouting,
demonstrating, looting, burn
ing and rioting."
Seeking to replace Dr. Min
ish as state senator are two
Lawxcnceville men, Earl P.
Story and Steve Reynolds.
Jackson County Rep. Mac

Herald Has Birthday
Ninety-three ye«r» ego today, a new
newspaper was issued in Jackson County.
It was The Forest News, predecessor to
The Jackson Herald.
The office was located in a second flo
or area on the Northwest corner of the squa
re in Jefferson. Publisher was The Jackson
County Publishing Co. and the "managing
and business editor" was Malcolm Stafford.
Subscription rates were $2 a year or $1
for si* months. Advertising rates were $2 a
column inch — well over twice what they
are now. Marriage and obituary notices we
re free, up to 10 lines, with regular adver
tising rates prevailing for space beyond the
10 lines.
The publishing day was Saturday.
The Forest News, which was changed in
1881 to The Jackson Herald, had numerous
editors over the next few years, but in 1891
John N. Holder became the editor and pub
lisher and retained the newspaper for 69 ye
ars. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Buffington pur
chased The Herald in 1965.
Circulation for the newspaper on its
93rd birthday is at the highest point in its
history — over 3,000. ,
The publisher wishes to express hts ap
preciation to everyone who has helped The
Herald grow and to pledge continued ef
fort. to provide you with a « < f < ^}„"* w * p * P ^'—

BOE continued from 1A
a reserve fund of nearly $ 2 million June
30. 2019. The reserve fund at the end of
this year is projected to be $2.2 million.
The millage rate, from which local
property taxes come, will not be set until
August.
Supt. Joy Tolbert said the projected
local taxes in the FY 2019 budget is $3.2
million, up $100,000. She said that is an
estimate because the school system does
not yet have the final tax digest numbers.
Other school districts in the area are
receiving “rollback” rates - a millage rate
less than the current one that would gener
ate the same amount of revenue next year
as was expected this year.
The board approved tabling the budget
until after the public hearings and the July
meeting.
As part of the budget work, the board
unanimously adopted a spending reso
lution, which will keep spending at the
current levels until the new budget is
approved.
The school board also includes federal
funds, capital projects - which are large
ly funded from ELOST, education local
option sales tax - and debt service. Those
funds total a bit less than $3.6 million for
the next year, compared to just more than
$3 million for the current year.
The biggest difference is that the lease
payment to ABM Solutions for energy
conservation start in January. That pay
ment will be $373,613. It will come from
ELOST money. Debt service, paying for
school buildings now in use, will go up
about $130,000 to $1.46 million.
The capital projects also include
lease-purchase payments for three buses
and a payment on one bus, $57,928. It
is the second of five payments for the
buses. The district also is replacing 16
computer servers. A payment on that will
cost $10,754 in the next budget. Finally,
the system will pay $18,039 on a total of
$65,000 to upgrade the broadcast video
studio at Commerce High School.
In the general fund, the largest item
every year is instruction. For the next bud
get, it will increase 17.5 percent - from $8
million in the current year to an estimated
$9.4 million.
Supt. Joy Tolbert said the district is add
ing only two courses next year - agricul
ture at the middle school and a part-time
position for chorus/drama at CHS. The
person also will be a part-time parapro-
fessional at the elementary school. The
agriculture program will replace a health
program.
She said other increases in instruc
tion include $400,000 for the teacher
retirement fund and $201,668 for RES A
programs, mostly special education. The
retirement fund has been taking large
jumps in local funding the past two or
three years. Tolbert said state officials tell
her it will level off or drop some after one
more year.
Instruction also includes “step” increas
es for employees, based on education
and experience levels. Tolbert said other
increases may be for new teachers who
might have more experience or a higher
degree than who they replace.
School administration is projected to
increase $117,000 - from $783,000 to
$900,000; maintenance is expected to go
up about $100,000.
Health insurance costs are anticipated
to increase about $77,000. Insurance costs
the district $11,340 for each employee.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business, the board:
•approved price increases for adult
meals in the school cafeterias. Student
prices will remain the same for the 2018-
19 school year. Students pay $1.40 for
breakfast at all four schools. Elementa
ry and primary students pay $1.95 for
lunch; middle and high school students
pay $2.40 for lunch. The adult prices will
increase from $1.60 to $1.75 for breakfast
and $3 to $3.25 for lunch.
•heard Tolbert report that the May
ELOST revenue was more than $125,000.
The total for the current ELOST is $1.6
million.
•heard Tolbert say the principals are
trying to keep up with teacher resignations
and new people added this month. The
board had a closed session at the end of
the meeting to consider personnel.
