GOV. TAMADGE
DENIES RIVERS IS
HIS MOUTHPIECE
Writes Editor of The News
Regarding Editorial Pub
lished Recently.
SAYS HE IS NOT IN
FAVOR OF THE SALES
TAX RECENTLY DRAWN
Letter Published Below
Information of Our
Readers.
Below we reprint a letter re
ceived this week from
Talmadge which is self explana
tory. The sales tax about which
the editorial was written was with
drawn a few days after the edi
torial was published.
The letter follows:
“March 15, 1935.
“Mr. A. B. Dennis, Editor,
The Covington News,
Covington, Ga.
“Dear Mr. Denn.s:
"I am quoting from an editor
ial which appeared in your paper
on March 8th, as follows:
“ ‘Speaker Ed Rivers, the
mouthpiece of our Governor, is
sponsoring a 5 per cent sales tax
bill. This means that out of every
dollar you earn, 5 cents must be
paid to the State. A man with a
large family who is making $12.00
per week will pay Ae State 60
cents per week out of that $12.00.'
“Speaker Rivers is not my
mouthpiece. 1 have never been
in favor of a sales tax.
“With all good wishes, I am,
“Sincerely,
EUGENE TALMADGE,
Governor.”
Editor's Note—We are very
glad the governor is not in favor
of the sales tax and hope he will
never favor such a tax in our
state.

GEORGE DIXON
HURT IN CRASH
Two Cars Crash Head-on Near
Almon on the Atlanta
Highway.
George Dixon, of Porterdale,
was seriously injured and two
other persons slightly bruised and
cut when a car driven by Dixon
crashed headon into a car driven
by John T. Edwards, of this city,
on the Covimgton-Atlanta highway
near Almop Saturday night.
Mr. Edwards And his wife were
enroute to Conyers and Mr. Dixon
was returning to his home in Por
terdale from Atlanta. According
to information received, Mr. Dixon
lost control of his car on a sharp
curve about a mile above Almon
and crashed head-on into Mr.
Edwards’ car. Mr. Dixon was
•thrown from the car onto the
paving, suffering a fractured skull
and severe cuts and bruises. Mr.
Edwards suffered an injured knee
and Mrs. Edwards several minor
cuts and bruises.
A passing motorist picked Dixon
| up and rushed him to Conyers,
where physicians rendered first
aid. He was then rushed to an
Atlanta hospital where he is re
ported in a serious condition.
The two cars were almost com
pletely demolished.
Saturday morning, a car driven
by Mr. Yan$ey, of Porterdale,
crashed into the rear end of a
two horse wagon driven by Mr. J.
T. Owens, of Flint Hill, on the
Coviington-Atlanta highway. No
one was injured, althought the car
was badly damaged.
According to information re
ceived, Mr. Yancey attempted to
pass the wagon, but failed when
he saw a car approaching from
the opposite direction. To avoid
crashing into the car, Mr. Yancey
headed his car toward the ditch
and struck the wagon.
Two cars crashed head-on Wed
nesday night on the Covington
Atlanta highway near Almon, but
the occupants escaped without in
jury. The names of the persons
in the cars were not learned, al
though It is understood that they
were from Atlanta. The two au
tomobiles were badly damaged.

THIS PAPER IS
COVINGTON’S INDEX OF
CIVIC PRIDE AND
PROSPERITY
COUNTY AGENT
TELLS OF FARMS
IN THE COUNTY
Mr. McMullan Advises Farm
ers to Sign Acreage
Contracts.
ALL PRODUCERS MAY
HAVE CONTRACTS THIS
YEAR UNDER THE PLAN
Gives Advice to One-Mule
Farmers in the
County.
If you want an acreage reduc
tion contract for 1935 now is the
time to sign up the proper papers.
See your county committeeman
immediately as we must rush the
sign-up if we are to be in line for
prompt payments.
All producers who did not have
a contract last year may have one
this year, provided the land they
were cultivating was planted to
cotton in either 1933 or 1934 .
The amount of rental and per
initted acres to be planted
year will be determined by
past history, of the land, The
plan has no provisions to take care
of a situation where a good farm
er follows a poor one or where
a farmer with several mules fol
lows one with one mule. The his
tory of the land is all that counts,
We would also like to call your
attention to the fact that you must
inqlude in your application for
contract all the land you own >r
control.
We know of several instances
in the county where a farmer
with one mule complained ,last
year that his acreage and cotton
allotment was too low on a farm
and this year the mules have been
increased on that farm and they
want a greater acreage and cotton
allotment on the farm to take care
of the increase in mules. Such an
increase in mules will only bring
grief. If the farm was entitled to
plant 6 acres last year and produde
tax free 1000 pounds of cotton
then that acreage and production
must stand for 1935 and the fact
that more mules have been added
will not increase the past history
of the land. So if four mules are
being worked where one was
worked last year, it will mean
that the four mules would be al
lowed the same acreage and tax
free cotton that the one was al
lowed in 1934.
Plant a good garden this year
and try to make a surplus of beans
and tomatoes for canning, We
have two canning factories in the
county that will be a great help to
you in sav.ng this surplus for win
ter use. You can put up a much
better product than you can find
on the commercial market and at
much less cost, Talk to some of
the people who canned beef last
fall.
The cotton market has been go
ing down at a rapid pace for about
a week. What does it mean and
what caused it? Some talk in
Washington regarding the discon
tinuance of the 12 cent loan caus
ed it. The world cannot buy our
cotton due to their lack of money
and we are producing more than
we can consume at home. It just
resolves it self down to this; sup
pose you had ten bushels of peas
set aside to raise the necessar)
cash you needed and I was the
only buyer you could find and I
already owed you a large sum of
money antf would not pay. 1
would buy your peas on credit.
Would you sell them to me? No,
because that would raise no cash
and would only lose your peas for
you. The world wants our cotton
but they already owe us and can
buy our cotton only as we lend
them the money, Now our gov
eminent to trying to hold up the
price for that portion of the crop
consumed at home. Do we appre
ciate this effort? It is doubtful
when we see the large number of
producers who only co-operate to
the extent that they are formed to
by regulations, We could be in
much worse condition—better co
operate in spirit. The world looks
topsy-turvy to us.

March 21, 1935.—The As
> sembly in Atlanta wuz fillin the
< papers up a few weeks ago
1 about investigatin the Relief in
t Georgia as Franklin Roosevelt
\ wuz administerin it, but all of
a sudden it quieted down an
5 now I can’t find a scribble
about it. They wuz sendin
I flcffks* all around everywhere,
but alas, that has come to be
history too. Well, it ain’t my
funeral they're preachin so I
roam forth elsewhere. I see
one .paper is drawin Senators
and/ Legislators’ pictures like
a comic section. If I wuz to
try to get away with somethin
like that, .they ud investigate
me to see if I had sense enough
to (enter the asylum. If they
want them kinder pictures
though, it seems like the first
or second grade in any school
could furnish urn free of
charge. Maybe I just ain’t mod
ern enough to understand them
sorter things.
Yours puzzled,
