CITIZENS WIRE
CONGRESSMAN AND
U.S. SENATORS
Requests Them to Urge the
Treasury Department to
Change Plans
SURPLUS MONEY FOR
POSTOFFICE SHOULD
BE USED IN BUILDING
Walton News .Says Mr. E. M.
Williams, of That City
Given Contract
A number of Covington citizens
wired Georgia’s two Senators and
Congressman from this District
urging them >o make efforts to
have the Treasury Department of
the United States change the
specifications on the new postof
fj ce building making the cost
amount to the amount of the ap
propriation.
The telegram to these men re
quested that the exterior trim
mings sills, platforms and all
initerior wainsco^tirug from con
crete to granite and marble which
would cover the remaining amount
of the appropriation above the
present bid.
Telegrams were sent to Sena
tor Richard B. Russell, Senator
Waller F. George and Congress
man Emmett Owens a6 follows:
“This telegram in regards t(
material for Postoffice building
We request Treasury Department
change exterior trimmings, sills
steps, platforms to granite, Ail
interior wainscoating to marble
as there is sifficient funds in ap
propriation above contract to make
such changes.”
The amount appropriated for
Covington’s Federal building was
$65,000 and approximately $24,
000 will be left unspent if the
Treasury Department continues
without changes,
According to the Walton News,
in Monroe, Mr. E. M. Williams of
that city, received the contract for
the building of Covington’s Post
office. The story carried in that
paper follows:
“General Flunkie,” Mr. E. M.
W’illiams, one of the best known
and most useful men of the state,
will, according to Congressman
Paul Brown, be awarded the con
tract to build the new $65,000
post office building at Covington.
Mr. Williams’, bid, being the lower
submitted, was agreed upon, and
just as soon as possible, he will
begin actual work of construction.
The very fine experience that
Emmett has ais a builder in many
lines, warrants the prediction that
he will give the people <\ New
ton capital a jam-up job, and at
same time meet with the approval
of governmental authorities. When
that is done, he, as contractor,
may well pat himself on the back.

Feb. 7, 1935—Well, I heard

us got
on our backs and they alnt
made no tax to take them yet.
And changin the subject, a of

down to the store yesterday and
sez to a small boy workin there
“Sonny, I want some shorts for
my mules.” The kid cocked his
head to one side an looked up
at the officer an sez, “Now,
listen, mister, don’t kid me,
you’ll be comin down tomorrow
askin for panties for the cows.”

Tells How You May Repair
Your Home With U. S.
Help
MAKES SUGGESTION
TO ALL THE AVERAGE
ONE HORSE FARMERS
Continues to Urge Farmers
to Help Stop Soil
Erosion
If your house needs repairing
or a coat of paint, enquire at your
local bank or Building and Loan
Association regarding' funds
through the Home Owner's Loan
Corporation. They will lend you
money at 5 per cent with monthly
installments for repayment:. or
annual payments with five years
to pay. This loan is purely for
repair purposes and improvement.
W T e know of numbers of farmers
who are ideally situated to install
water works using hydraulic rams
•r windmills for power to pump
the water. The hydraulic ram
is a very cheap source of power
if you are located near a small
stream. Investigate this loan
and do some home improvement
work.
Did you ever stop to think that
the average one-horse farmer
works as many acres in corn as
he does cotton and other cash
crops and after the crops are har
vested all he does with the corn
is feed his mule to make another
crop thus making the mule board
equal In cost and effort the
amount realized for the family.
The reason of course i6 low pro
duction per acre. Plant your
corn after winter legumes and
make sufficient corn for home
use on a few acres. Don’t give
one-half of your time to feeding
the mule you plow.
Korean Lespedeza sowed broad
cast on your grain after you apply
the soda and harrow will make a
good hay crop. We can get you
the seed for five cents per pound.
Twenty-five pounds sows an acre
so you see the cost is cheaper than
peas.
Farmers over the county are
doing quite a bit of plowing. Let
us urge you to get your iterraces
in good shape. We let too much
of our fertile soil wash off. Stop
erosion—sow legumes and your
soil will become rich and make
you rich.
Quite a few farmers of the coun
ty are receiving their checks for
the last loan on their 1933 cotton
options. Along with the check
you will receive a new Participa
tion Trust Certificate and two
forms for the sale of this last
certificate. Place these papers in
a safe and secure place. That
cotton is still yours as evidenced
by the Participation Trust Cer
tificate, costs for carrying are ac
cumulating at the rate of 30 cents
per monith per bale. If cotton
gets high enough for there to be
a profit above twelve cents after
the charges are paid you can make
another draw on this cotton so
keep the papers in tact and watch
the market.
Elections are being held this
week in .the various communities
for the purpose of electing commit
teemen for the 1935 acreage re
duction campaign, Next week
we will give you the names of
those elected along with the new
county committee.
Two farmers in the county are
putting running water in 'their
homes along with bathrooms us
ing septic tanks to take care of
the refuse.' We like to see farm
ers improving their living con
ditions.

CONSIDERATION
OF REPEAL BILL
BEFORE HOUSE
Governor’s Legislative Bills
Practically Completed by
Assembly
With the Governor’s legislative
program practically completed,
the General Assembly turned its
attention this week to whiskey and
launched a fight that is expected
to continue until the session ends
in March.
The Temperance Committee of
the House met Monday and de
cided to hold public bearings on
the question of repeal. From
those hearings will result a com
promise measure which the com
mittee will recommend to the
House for passage.
Bone dry advocates, outright
repealists, dripping wets, those
who favor a referendum—all will
have their day. Assembly lead
ers were betting, however, that
the bill ultimately passed will pro
vide for a state-wide referendum,
with the counties voting we: be
ing wet, those voting dry remain
ing dry.
Many members seemed to favor
the plan for state stores, proposed
in the Griffin-Townsend bill. This
plan would put the state in com
plete charge through an alcoholic
control commission, with sole
power to tax and regulate. An
interesting provision, in this bill
gives the commission the right to
contract with individuals to manu
facture whiskey for the s'ores—
in other words, to patronize a
home industry formerly designated
as “moon-shining.”
Through last week, the
question was held in abeyance
while House and Senate labored
to complete the Governor's pro
gram and sent him for signiture
seven of his measures. All bills
carrying out plans in the Gover
nor’s platform have been passed.
