LOCAL ■COUNTY—STATE
BY THE OFFICE BOY
We extended congratulations to
Bob Arnold when he was made
Pres, of the Solid Braided Cord
Association. . . Ernest Camp, o£
the Walton Tribune read about it
* and st}/s, in the columns of his
splendid paper, The Walton Tri
bune, “Bob Arnold, of Covington,
has been made president of the
Solid Braided Cord Association. .
is this the concern that makes the
trappings for the Georgia Colon
els?. . . We see the Covmgton
News ie also being read down in
that hospitable city of Savannah.
We hand you a clipping from the
Savannah Evening Press, by Bill
Biffem, of course:
THE WORLD DO MOVE — WE
NOW HAVE A SINGING SWAN
WHEN FOR CENTURIES THE
SWAN HAS BEEN NOTED
ITS SILENCE.
of sweeter _
“We know no
* to sing Stanton's songs than that
of Mrs. Kirk Swann, who sang at
. the U. D. C. meeting.” —Coving
ton News Chatterbox.
We are glad the Chatterbox
interesting enough for Bill Biffem
to read and even thrilled to know
that it is also instructive. . . .
Seriously, Bill, the Swan has also
been noted for its beauty. . . you
brag about pretty girls in Savan
wait until come to 1
nah but you
Covington. The two young daugh
ters of the charming Mrs. Swann
we spoke of are two who would
win a beauty contest over any of
your Savannah beauties. . . sure
that’s a challenge to f nil a young
* lady prettier than Dot or Eleanor
Swann. . . They, the editors, keep
4 taking and comenting about the
picture used along with Mildred
Seydell’s Column in the Georgian
One lady thinks Mildred con
. .
ceited, etc. . . Mildred replies
that she is proud of that picture
because it flatters her. . . an
other young columnist states her
surprise upon seeing her at the
press institute because she didn’t
look like the picture. . . No, she
does not look very much like the
picture we agree, because as '• he
days and weeks go by she ias,
grown very much more charming
than this picture. head . . We her vote column forj |
a new picture to !
because we do not think this one
does her justice. In one of her
. .
recent columns she said, “Unfair
ness burns me up. For instance,
to have a woman use my telephone
to'hire my cook right out of my
1 kitchen.” The thing she resent
ed was not the loss of the cook,
but she had lost faith in a neigh
bor. As she says, ‘‘No one can
be happy without faith in people,
and when things happen to lessen
that faith it is a blow to future
contentment.” Well, we have
those problems in Covington, and
if you are guilty, just remember
that even though you may gain
a good cook you are having people
lose faith in you. . . or if you
don’t get the cook. . . they lose
faith just the same because the
4 * servant usually mentions the fact
that your neighbor tried to get
her. . . Mildred Seydell is a
wonderful writer, an interesting
person and a true friend. . . We
V read with interest her recent open
letter to Milton Fleetwood, offer
ing a silver shaving mug to the
best male columnist in the state
We see no reason why the
. .
ladies should not also be rewarded
and we hope Mildred wins the
first time. . . excuse us whi/e we
pen a note to Milton: Mr. Milton
Fleetwood, President Georgia
Press Association, Cartersville, Ga.
Dear Milt: We do believe
. . .
that along with other topics award
ed at the June meeting of the
Georgia Press Association there
should be one for the best woman
columnist in the State of Georgia.
The Office Boy. of The Covington
News (I’ll tell you my name when
I see you) therefore offers, not a
useless lovfng cup, but something
a lady will like. . . a silver vase
(probably plated as Mildred said)
to the best woman columnist in
the state, this to be awarded each
year at the annual meeting. . .
We offer a vase so she can fill it
with flowers and keep it on her
desk and really enjoy it. . .
Mildred said her Shaving Mug
probably would not be useful. . .
however we feel It is a good sug
gestiom to some of these country
editors wC often drop in on be
tween Press Meetings, Trusting
you will accept this offer, and
with best wishes, I am sincerely,
—The Office Boy.

FRICTION BETWEEN
HOUSE AND SENATE
THREATENS ACTION
House Passes Repeal and
Many Bills and Spotlight
Turns to Senate
SHOWS DISPOSITION
TO DELAY HOUSE BILLS
REPEAL BILL CHANGED
Manv Important House Bills
Will Probably Not Be
Acted Upon
Rising friction between the
House and Senate developed dur
ing the laet few davs into the
j acdor that. will control the out
come of mos; 0 f the important
pending before the gen
era j ass embly.
The g enate showed a disposi
tiQn tQ delay House bills, and
1>reside - j t Charles Redwine predict
e() f ., ee y that some cf tae
important would not pass.
Meanwhile the House was not
g j ow j. 0 take cognizance of the
situation and one member even
threatened to have the House
« march over t0 the Senate in a
^ od y pass out our bills and go
„
Prohibition repeal legislation
hung in the balance as the Senate
insisted on another public hear
ing on the bill passed by the House
and indicated that it would write
n sweeping charges that wou’d
throw the matter into a confer
ence committee.
Meanwhile, the Senate prepared
to tear the House beer biil to
pieces and indicated a tendency to
raise the tax considerably, hold
ing it to be merely a revenue
measure.
Both the House and Senate have
passed important bills, but few
have gone through both Houses
and the Governor for hie signa
ture.
House bills pending in the
Senate without action include the
5)000 homestead exemption bill,
0 j d age p ens j on hill, the state
hlghway patro , bm> a classi f ie d
tax, a chain store tax and many
other measures.
The House settled the repeal
question and passed the appropria
tions bill last week, Facing a
deadlock on prohibition, the
members switched to a compro
mise bill which provides for a
state-wide referendum May 15,
with counties voting later on their
own status, if repeal carries.
Cities and counties may set up
their own stores under this plan,
if the people vote to permit them.
The Senate has other ideas about
prohibition repeal, and it is un
likely that these differences will
be reconciled until the closing days
of the session, if at all.

CIVITANS WIN
OVER MONROE
Covington Civitans Down the
Monroe Kiwanis Team
28-17
Basketball fans of this section
witnessed a thrilling contest Mon
day evening at the Monroe gym
nasium between the Covington
Civitans and the Monroe Kiwan
ians. Covington won the game
28-17 which gave Covington the
victory after a tie game had been
played in Covington.
After getting off to a fast start,
both clubs showed that they were
well represented, This contest
not only started in a fast manner,
but kept a fast pace through the
entire game, The playing of
both teams remained about equal
in the first half.
This contest showed what really
could be expected of these clubs.
The game was as thrilling and as
laughable as any one could wish
for.
The highest scorers for the Civi
tans were Elliott, center for Cov
ington, with 14 points to his
credit, and Stevens, who played a
jam-up game at the forward po
sition, with a total of 8 points.

A recent ruling of the Agricul

gives County Committees author
ity to adjust 1934 contracts either
upward or downward if they de
termine from reliable information
that the figures in the contract
for 1934 do not relate the true
history of the land. Upward re
vision, however, cannot be made
in a county if the total figures
exceed the total allotment to a
county. After any adjustments
have been made on a contract they
must be accepted by the producer
and his failure to accept the ad

for 1935.
Measure your land before you
