TO THE PEOPLE OF SEMINOLE
COUNTY AND THE STATE
OF GEORGIA
In the issue of the Donalsonville
News, of two weeks ago, Mr. J. L.
Haralson in a signed statement, in
which was marked “paid publicity”,!
Jibled a member of the Board of Re-!
gents ivhich was so pointed that I take;
it that he referred to me.
I feel personally, and a member!
of the Board of Regents that I can not I
let this lible go unanswered and I am j
therefore taking this means of re
futing his unwarranted accusations.
It is a matter of common knowledge
that Mr. Haralson is a chronic “belly
acher” and “AGIN'ER". When Gover
nor Talmadge was the chief executive
of this State before, Mr. Haralson
fought him with every means at his ;
command. He wrote several articles (
that were »e unfair in their criticism ;
as is the article in question and at hi:, j
own expense distributed theta oyer the j
state by the thousands. He did not
support the candidate E. D. Rivers by
being laudatory as to his ability but
supported him entirely through cri-,
i ticism of Governor Talmadge, LpoP;
the strength of his “Y'APPING” he de
! cided to make the race for a seat on
! the Public Service Commission and
the results of his race were a clear
indication at his strength and influ
ence. He carried three counties. In his;
; home county of Seminoje he carried;
onjy one precinct in the entire county.;
j After nil of Mr. Haralson’s support
■ of Governor Rivers he was refused
i any appointment of consequences by
I Governor Rivers and he turned his :
; venom upon him as bitterly as he had
done with Governor Talmadge. In the
next election he came out supporting
candidate Talmadge or governor in the
hope that he would secure a good job
by his support. He went to Atlanta,
and asked the Governor for a job and j
told him of a check made payable to,
cashed and endorsed by the cpljec^ot!
of Internal Revenue for his Income ;
1 Tax showing an income of aproxima-1
| teiy $6,000.00 per year. The Governor 1
(refused if, gjye him a job, taking the;
position that a lyjfh that much,
income did not need a job p?? n . v
people in the state needing employ-i
ment and who were competent.
When the Governor refused to give I
Mr. Haralson a job he then turned,
upon him and started his campaign of;
criticism and libel of the whole pre
sent administration.
I received an appointment at the
hand of the Goveraw but my position.
carries no salary whatsoever and I
am glad U> give my services to thej
people of this state, whatever their;
value might be. Since I am connected 1
with the administration Mr. Haralson I
has chosen to direct his slander at me.,
I am therefore attaching a statement j
of Benj. F. Hul»ert. President Georgia I
State College, which is the senior Ne-;
<ro college of the state signed hy
Benj. F. Hubert and three other pro-1
-essors of that institution which I am.
having pub|t«hed along with this let- j
ter.
Most faithfully yours.

To Whom It May Concern:
• This is to certify that on August 8,
1941. we made a trip to the Seminole
DONALSONVILLE NEWS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27TH, 1942.
Farm, located seven miles out from
Donalsonville, Georgia, for the pur
pose of selecting a registered, pure
bred Hereford bull and heifer for the
Georgia State College Farm.
While enroute to Donalsonville, we
had automobile trouble, which delayed
us. We feared that we would be too
late to contact Mr. John J. Cummings
before dark. When we arrived, we lo
cated Mr. Cummings on the Farm. We
explained to him why we were late.
We also told him we had not had any
thing to eat since breakfast, and ask
ed if he would allow us time to return
to Donalsonville, which w’as seven mil
es away, to get something to eat be
fore going out on the Farm to locate
the cattle, Mr, Cummings stated that
there was no ope pt the house except
his colored woman cook, but that he
would be glad to send her word to
give us something to eat.
We washed our faces and hands at
a spigot outside in the back yard. The
colored cook served us something to
eat. We ate in a small side room in the
r eSF part of the house. We did not
entei' the front door pf the house, nor
the dining room. While being served
by the colored cook, we were told by
her that Mrs. Cummings and other
women of the family were away from
the home in Atlanta, where they were
receiving medical treatment. We did
not see Mr. Cummings nor his son in
or near the house while the cook was
serving us. We later located Mr.
Cummings out on the Farm.
We spent several hours on the
Farm selecting the animals and ar
ranging tor thejr transportation to the
College. We left the Farm for the Col
lege about dark.

GET PARTS NOW TO
REPAIR EQUIPMENT,
FARM AGENT URGES
A bolt in time may save a machine,
a crop, a soldier or a battle, said
County Agent Bill Brigham this week
in asking county farmers personally
to do their patriotic part in solving
cue farm machinery repair problem.
Many farmers usually let their re
pairs or new purchases go until spring
I but in 1942, because of defense needs,
I some new farm equipment is going to
be scarce or at least hard to get, he
pointed out.
“There arp many good hours of ser
i vice left in old equipment if it is giv
j en a chance,” Mr. Brigham explained.
; “Your dealer is ready to help you put
; your equipment in condition to get
! those added hours of sprvjce.
I “Equipment manufppturpru have
i been allotted a definite amount of
i steel,” he continued. “'Whether this
i goes into new equipment or into re
pair parts for good used equipment
I now in farmers’ hands will be deter
' mined by the orders placed now by
wise farmers who have gone over their
; equipment carefully and planned their
i repairs.”
A good crowd was gathered at In
terjrise church Sunday to hear a very
inteiesting message given by Rever
end Luther Norris of Blakely. We in
viteeveryonc who will to attend next
4th Sunday, We are sure you will en
! joy Rearing Brother Norris.
