County Officials
Will Hold Session
Late Next
The Association of County
missioners of Georgia will hold
annual session in Macon on
25, 26 and 27. The program of
session is now being prepared
will be announced soon. Among
scheduled to speak are Governor E.
D. Rivers; W. T. Anderson, publisher
of the Macon Telegraph; W. D Mc
Oranie, Dodge County commissioner
Charles A. Matthews, county com
missioner of DeKalk County, whl
be elected president of the Associa
tion to succeed Frank M. Kimble,
of Worth County. Mr. Matthews, an
Aggressive leader in the commission
ers’ efforts to preserve local self
government in Georgia, has been
chairman of the executive committee
during the past year.
, The session of the commissioners
.this spring will be the most im
portant in many years. Unusual prob
lems have arisen for the county gov
ernments, due to the reduction of
V, their income by state legislation at
a time when they were compelled
to increase many of their services
to the public.
Numbers of counties already are
facing virtual bankruptcy, it was!
reported this week. One North Geor
gia county reported that its esti
mated income would be inadequate;
to pay the cost of operating the;
courts in the county, while anothei
county in the same area planned
rigid restriction of its previous policy
of maikng available considerable
to match Federal grants for Work.,!
Progress Administration relief pro
jects.
The past session of the Assembn.;
county leaders assert, increased the
cost of operating these local self
government units by almost a mu
lion dollars annually, while their rev-i
enues available for their regular;
services by more than twenty five per
cent.

Nothing take* the place of a good side dressing with
Natural Chilean Nitratt of Soda — "Natchel Sody”, as
. Uncle Natchel calls it.
Like children, crops need lots of food when they really
Start to grow. That’s why it is so important to side dress
your crop with Natural Chilean Soda — to supply quick
acting nitrogen just when it is needed.
Chilean Nitrate is valuable not only as a source of nitrogen,
but also to furnish or build up a reserve of small amounts
of other plant food elements naturally blended with it.

J Czechoslovakian troops
Will Czechoslovakia be "the Belgium of the second
World war?” That is the question being asked
in Europe where it is believed that Hitler will at
tempt to incorporate the 3,000,000 Germans in
Czechoslovakia into the third German Reich when
Nazification of Austria is completed. Meanwhile
the Czech government took a determined stand,
assistant attorney general in that
Department. Mr. Dykes was formely
occupant of the post to which Mr.
Boykin was assigned,
When farmers have a good supply
of hay, forage and pasture crops,
it is an easy matter to produce live
stock at a law cost during the win
ter.
Fifty laying hens to supply the
home with eggs and poultry will dc
a great deal to cut down expenses on
the farm. Where possible a farm
family should keep from one to five
hundred laying hens as a sideline
farm enterprise.
Premier Milan Hodza denying that German Czech*
were being mistreated and declaring that Czecho

“MRS. OSSIE SMITH”
We are very sad at heart this
week as our humble expressions
of sympathy is extended to Mr.
G. C. Smith and family, who lost
their dear wife and mother Mon
day.
Mrs. Smith's sudden passing
Monday morning was a shock to
all of us at Covington mills. She
was 48-years old and had liven
most of her life in and arount
Newton county.
Since childhood I have knowt
Mrs. Smith as “Mrs. Ossie.” Slu
was a sort that scattered hei
flowers for friends as she lived
Her passing has left a vacant
place in hearts that cannot bs
re-filled.
May these words tend to south*
the aching hearts that are, De
cause of the plucking of this flow
er. that so stood out in the garden
of friendship.

Rice Bros, and Gang
Appear Heard-Mixon
Covington, Ga. March 22—Radii
Ians and the public generally will
Welcome the personal appearanct
>f the Rice Brothers and Theii
Bang, who will present their splendic
Itage show at the Heard-Mixor
School Auditorium on March 28 at
8:00 o'clock P. M.
Hoke and Paul Rice are two Geor
£ia boys who made good in a big
Ray as radio stars at some of the
nation’s outstanding radio stations. 1
Home-sick for their home-state
however, they are back here with
one of the cleverest combinations
in the South.
As a feature attraction of the cel
ebrated “Cross Road Follies” broad
cast daily over WSB and WAGA
Atlanta, the Rice Brothers Gang has
quickly reached a lofty level of pop
ularity. Modernizing their entertain
ment through the use of a remark
able electrical steel guitar, The Rice
Brothers and their Gang strike a
new note for lovers of music, har
mony and comedy.
Capacity audiences have been the
rule wherever this unusual radio at
traction has appeared and a great,
crowd is expected for their perso
nal appearance at the Heard-Mixon
School.
It has been said that the shortest;
lapse of time is between the time

Private Liquor
Storage Barred
Under New Rule
No privately operated
warehouse for the storage of whiskey
| j will be permitted in Georgia, it was
announced by Grady Head, State
Tax Commissioner. All wholesale
liquor firms will be required, under
a joker uncovered in the measure
that legalizes the sale of whiskey In
Georgia, to rent space in State
operated warehouses,
The decision will affect many firms
that have already leased faculties
for storing whiskey, and will affect
adversely especially the beer and
wme wholesalers, who have been
careful in complying with the State
, law and , who . expected . . to . reap a gol ,
■
den , harvest . . when . whiskey-legaliza- ... ^ , ,
tion made . their .. . facilities . ..... valu- ,

ab!e
The State will set up its ware
houses soon, it is expected. The
establishment of the warehouses will
create many new political jobs, it is
believed. One estimate was that
establishment 1
of the State-operated
warehouses would increase the Stab
patronage lists by at least three hun -;
dred names, erecting an organization
that would be invaluable during the ]
summer political campaign. |

T he Clayton County News and

Since Judge T „, „ Hutcheson,” . . „ says the

that he will not offer for re-electicn
many candidates „„„ ,.. . have , been men
tioned as his probable successor.
One in particular that we are in
terested in is Gen. Robert Travis o:
Savannah. If Gen. Travis consents
run we believe he will sweep the
state. He is one of Georgia’s leading
lawyers, a man of splendid ability,
and of wonderful personality, and he
is well known all over the state. We
hope Bob Travis will consent to make
the race and if he does we promise
him all the influence at our com-
mand. He has been prominent
