CHAIRMAN OF WAR
BOARD CITES NEED
FOR SCRAP METAL
All alortjf the Georgia farm front,
the new battle cry of “Scrap to Slap
the Jap” went up this week as farm
ers spurred their collection of scrap
iron and steel to feed America’s war!
machine.
“We’ve got to slap hard and step
quickly,” H. G. Woods chairman of
the Seminole County USDA War
Board, said in discussing the pressing
need for scrap metals. “Many of our
steel mills already have shut down,
and other* face the same prospect un
less they can get adequate supplies of
scrap iron and steel to use in charg
ing the furnaces. It may seem far
fetched to say that our folks down on
the farm can keep those steel mills
open, but it’« cold, hard fact. It’s up to
us to gather up every bit of scrap me
tal we can lay our hands on, and move
it into industrial channels swiftly.”
Last week, in calling for itu, co
operation of organized groups in push
ing the scrap collection drive, Mr.
Woods cited the fact that millions of
tons of American scrap metal, sold to

HARALSON REPLIES
TO CUMMINGS
(Editor’s note—The follwoing arti
cle is accepted and published as paid
political advertising. This newspaper
assumes no responsibility for proof
of any statements contained therein
and, beyond giving Mr. Cummings
an opportunity to reply through these
columns within the next t w ° weeks,
j will not in the future carry any fur-
Iter articles, regardless of payment
: or non-payment, which we do not con
• sider to be to the best interest of the
people of the county.)
Donalsonville, Ga.
March, 1942.
During the month of February this
year through the columns of the Don
alsonville News I charged the Tal-
■ inadge Administration and its cohorts
> with acts unpatriotic, unfair and de
grading. Among these charges I
; charged one of the members of the
j board of regents with dining negroes,
in his dining room for business rea
sons. I mentioned no mans name but
(asked the Governor to drag him out
and discharge him. Mr. John Cum
mings tikes this charge upon himself.
The only rooms i:? connection with Mr.
Cummings dining room are the. Sun
Parlor, Breakfast Room and the kit
chen, ( with all due respect for the ne
groes in their places we people of
the deep south sprye them jn the
kitchen) but in copuec.tio;) with in
stance Mr. Cummings does pot men
tion “kitchen”. The side room men
tioned is undoubtly either the sun
parlor or the breakfast room. When
he brings these negroes so close to the
dining room and don’t mention kitchen
he virtually pleads guilty and too, Mr.
camming?, why do you take excep
tions to a statejpeni which does not
mention your name. You dq not deny
! anything, you rely sojely upon the
I statement f»i negroes-
Mr. Cummings yvi) are slightly
shrewd in away but you are yery,
very dull in another. You do deny
dining those negroes (President and
Professor as you call them) in your
din«,g room, you rely upon cramming
down the tftfpats of the white people
of this county fins statement of ne
groes. Why don’t you up like a
man and take the medicine jf are
guilty.
Governor Talgmdge has culled and
reculled his board Twente until
they wait like young birds u« ti»e pest
with their mouths wide open ready to
spy “me too.” The negroes were
fought iP a finish in Athens for po
litical reasons some are dined in
■ a private home in Hrmjpole County
> for business reasons but ht»l ?n the
kitchen.
Few people of Seminole County
know that Talmadge and his board
of regents in distroying the school
system of Georgia and attacking the
DONALSONVILLE NEWS FRIDAY, MARCH 6TH, 1942.
negro have caused a civil suit to be
brought in the United States District
Court of Atlanta to recover the dif
ference in salaries paid white and ne
gro teachers. The State School De
partment has just issued a statement
that for one year alone the negroes of
the state will recover from the state
and counties ONE MILLION DOL
LARS. Under the law they can (and
they will) go back and recover for
seven years which will aggregate Sev
en Millions of Dollars, see the At
lanta Journal of last week and you
will see an account of this in the
STATESMAN a news paper issued
and sent out by Governor Talmadge.
This same board of regents of which
John J. Cummings is a member caus
ed this.
What will happen ? There will be an
enormous bond issue both of the state
and counties (and the school Bus
system will not be forgotton) to pay
back salaries to teachers. Take credit
for thjs Mr. Board Os Regents. When
the next primary is over (if Tul
madge runs) he will remind us of an
old battle scarred tom eat watching at
an abandoned rat holo,
I am in sympathy with you Mr.
Cummings I feel that, you have been
imposed upon and that your signature
to your article was just a mere “sign
here on the dotted line Johnie”. Mr.
Cummings why did you call on whis
pering, cotton mouthed sweet rumped
Eddie, the weird, mysterious (Senori
ta) sleeper, the strange man, the
strangeness of whjch Medical science
has pevpr yet understood tq write your
article or a portion of it, the man who
your people let go because they could
not trust him. Why did you trust him
to hand you with his long, harry talon
like fingers a pen wheih you grabbed
with the same eagerness, and sim
plicity as that of a hungry child
reaching out for a bottle of milk, to
sign a statement containing false
hoods.
By the instructions of “old Gene”
the lamb of the farm ease? up under
cover of darkness to Donalsonville,
epepps cautiously into the lair of
a did lipn, he moves as though
eminent danger lurks about him, a
fraid to speek, but when Leo Licks
his hand and his over grown cub plays
around his feet the powwow starts.
Lamb to Leo: “Gene sent me hither”.
We are demanded else we die political
ly to select and send to the next legi
slature a man who Talmadge can ab
solutely control”. Lawlassness run
ning jampapt oyer the state, winked
at by seventy five percent of the Tal
madge appointees together with the
Gqvernor’s disregard for the welfare
iwpjejy and the approach of thp
loss of seven million dollars has put
a crimp in his tail call off your dogs

Use of adapted varieties of poor
cotton seed is one-factor in increasing
per acre yields of this crop.
A dry shelter for the dairy cow can
be provided by using scrap lumber
ana other material.
Try new varieties of vegetables
conservatively and when they prove to
be better than the older ones, use
them.
“Some types of farm machinery
are built of angle steel, bolted to
