Newton county. The deficit in school
funds for 1928 is $1,.549.884.85 and for

MHAT DO YOU WANT YOTJR
LEGISLATORS TO DO ABOUT IT?
YE ED SEES SNAKES
You have often heard it said that
for the Fourth of July there must he
some “snake bite”—that independence
cannot he fully maintained and enjoy
ed without it. So far as the back yard
of the News office was concerned,
there was no shortage on snake with
which to produce the bite. About 9:15
Wednesday night the editor was walk
ing along behind the office building,
,
and we do not exaggerate when we |
say we saw a large black snake, ap
parently five feet long, lying complac
ently on the ground. We called the
attention of a negro hoy to the reptile
and he said: “I am sho' dat is a snake.
.Tes’ wait till I gits back and I sho’
will destroy dat varmint.” The size of
the snake, judging from the darkey’s
antics was much larger and longer
than it really was. He never came
back—Walton News.
ABOUT RESOLUTIONS
,
When the Hoover resolution passed
through the Georgia House an amend- |
ment requesting the Democratic party
to remove Raskob from its head would
have been timely and in good order,
The said democratic party has carried
many a load of junk hung about its
neck, hut Raskob was the heavy one
that broke the camel’s hack.—Bain
bridge Post-Searchlight.
UNCLE HENRY COMPLIMENTED
Mr. Henry Branham, of the fish and
game commission is highly eompli- |
inented by the Cordele Dispatch. The i
editor says:
“We feel like saying that this is a
department whose example is out-!
standing in public service. It is so
progressive that we want those who I

Getting there ahead of the trouble
During the afternoon of March 17, 192B, an alarm
bell rang in a telephone £ad test station. This nu arit T '
**“•* P“ a a c,ure b “° -T^emen^y somewhere within 50
knew that the injury was
miles.
Highly developed locating devices were instantly
applied and in sixty-five minutes the trouble spot
was located. By 7:15 in the evening, before the
break in the sheath had affected service on any of
the 248 pairs of wires in the cable, the repairs had
been made without one conversation being of inter- the
rupted. This special alarm system is one
many mechanical and electrical wonders developed
by Bell System engineers to guard telephone con
versations.
Automatic warning signals, electrical locating de
vices, constant testing of all switchboard apparatus
and circUits-these are some of the ceaseless efforts
that so effectively reduced interruptions to service
on Bell lines in 1928.
There is no standing still in the Bell System.

NOMINATING CARSWELL
Hon. George Carswell would
make Georgia a great governor.
He knows more about Georgia af
fairs than any other two men in
the state—The Greensboro Iler
ald-Journal.
On this we’re agreed—if it will
do anybody any good to know it.
George Carswell Is a big enough
Georgian to grace the governor’s
office with much credit to himself
and his political friends.—The
Cordele Dispatch.
George George Carswell, we be
lieve. will bring more honest endeavor
and less small politics into the gov
ernor’s office than anybody whose
name has been advanced so far. The
Covington News agrees with the breth
ren above quoted.
THE POINT OF VIEW
Shooting innocent tourists isn’t
exactly our idea of enforcing the
prohibition law.—Greensboro Her
ald-Journal.
Also mureding officers of the law,
bombing the homes of witnesses, intim
dating jurors and judges is carrying
anti-prohibition just a little too far.
