The first cotton bloom from the
Newton County 1938 crop was
brought to the News office or
urday by J. H Dalton, who resides
cn the Perry place, near Mansfield
Close behind Mr. Dalton's
came two from the neighboring
Burge Plantation, one of which had
already reached its deep red color.
Two others were brought in by
Homer Holifield on Route 5. One
these also had reached its red col
oring.
Apparently the honors for
first bale will go this year to
Mansfield-Newborn community.
Several more blooms are
to be received at the News
today. They are coming in from
over the county, furnishing an ex

No delay will be experienced in

We were in conversation with the
Athens office this week regarding
payments to this county under the
1937 Fram Program. The contracts
had been certified by the Athens of
fice to the Disbursing Office in At
lanta on June 16th. It seems the
Disbursing Office works rather leis
urely and it is not expected that
the checks will come down earlier
than ten days to two weeks from
June 16th.
Progress of measuring farms for
compliance under the 1938 farm pro
gram is being made at a satisfactory
rate of speed and it is expected that
all measurements will be completed
in ample time for marketing to pro
ceed in a natural and normal man
ner. The field work can be done
much faster than can the office
work and we have started a night
shift in an effort to keep the office
work apace with the field work.
We were in conversation with Ab
ner Harper the other day and he
stated that there was a boll weevil
in every bloom on his cotton. We
expect all cotton blooms in the coun
ty at this time are in the same fix.
Mr. C. B. Bailey reports that he
j is finding quite a few squares
punctured on his early cotton. Other
farmers have reported weevils in
abundance in the buds of young
cotton. This heavy weevil infesta
tion along with unfavorable weath
er over the belt is the reason for the
recent rise in cotton prices. It seems
that in spite of all that can be
a good price is dependent on a

to begin with. If you are successful
with this then it is a matter of only

Petition Signed
For Dial Phones
Subscribers of Telephone
Service Urged to
Sign.
Announcement was made Wednes
day that a large number of sub
scribers of the local telephone^ ser
vice in Covington have signed a pe
tition at the city hall requesting the
Georgia Public Service Commission
to Illow the Southern Bell Telephone
Company to install the Dial System
in Covington.
According to local officials, a ma
jority of the subscribers at this time
must sign the petition before the
Public Service Commission will per
mit a change. Those who have not
signed the petition in the possession
of Clerk J. H. Wood are urged to do
so at the earliest possible time.
The introduction of the new tele
phone system will result in the re
moval of poles on the public square
and the stringing of new lines
throughout the city. There will be
no charge to Mansfield under the
new setup and Conyers will probably
be hooked up with Covington later
The present operators will be given
jobs elsewhere, the head of the
Southern Bell Company said last
week. The dial system is much simp
ler and has many advantages over
the present old time battery sets.

Covington Sunday
The Congregations of the three
churches of Covington will worship
together in a Union Service at the
Methodist Church Sunday Evening

the Presbyterian church will preach.
It has been decided that the
three churches will cooperate in a

those services very worth while.
Politics In the
State Warms Up
“Many Take Sides”, Observ
ers say, “Too Early For
Predictions.’’
The political situation in Georgia
continues to be an unsolved puzzle
according to the best and most
careful observers despite the fact
that many citizens and papers have
gone so far as to predict a certain
outcome.
Apparently, tills those who are making
predictions early in the cam
paigns are themselves supporting the
candidate and “hope that he will
win” according to those in many
sections of Georgia who reliably In
form the public of the political sit
uation in Georgia and the nation.
A number of observers stated this
week that they would not go so
far as to select any winner as any
thing could happen between now
and September 14, when the voters
will solve the puzzle of candidates.
During the past several days, the
! mails have been flooded with book
lets, stickers and other papers "tell
ing why this candidate is the man
for the job.” Many of the papers of
Georgia have apparently taken the
attitude that the “fence” is the
best place to be and expect to remain
that way unless they are, of nec
cessity, forced on one side or the
other.

Joe Louis Stuns
Fight Experts
By Quick K. 0.
80,000 Pay $1,000,000 to See
Minute-and-Half of
Fighting.
Joe Louis stunned the world at
large Wednesday night when he
knocked out Max Schmeling, of
Germany, in less than one and
a half minutes of fighting in the
first round of their scheduled 15
round fight, in New York, re
taining his title of heavyweight
champion of the world.
The thing that took most ev
eryone by surprise was the man
ner in which Louis started his
attack. The Brown Bomber is
usually a slow starter, In this
fight he did just what he had
already told everyone he would.
He tore into Schmeling and let
go with rights and lefts until the
German could no longer hold on.
Schmeling’s seconds knew from
the outset of Louis’ whirlwind at
tack that their man was whipped.
Maxie went down for a count of
four, a badly beaten man. However,
he pulled back to his feet only to
meet more “black lightning.’’ His
handlers swarmed into the ring at
the” count of eight to save their
fighter from further suffering.
Schmeling was able to ;et in only
one good right in the fight. The
blow stunned Louis a bit and for a
brief second he stood there with
his hands held in front of him. He
recovered quickly, though, and
stung Maxie with a sharp left and
right. Schmeling was hurt and
Louis knew it. He jumped in with a
wheel-horse attack and let go with
seven or eight lefts and rights to
the jaw. Maxie went down, half
hanging on the ropes. His eyes were
glassy but he managed to pull him
self up to meet the “end.”
Schmeling, the lone fighter that
the world felt would stick in there
just as long as the next one, proved
to be the first boxer to crumble be
fore the fist of a champion In less
than two rounds.
Max Baer will meet Louis in Sep
tember for the championship.

Agent J. O. Porter
Reports as carried in last weeks C:
issue of the News, of the probaoie to
early construction of an addition to 3.
the Osprey Mill at Porterdale were es ■
erroneous, according to Mr. J O ,et
Porter. Resident Agent at Portjrda'e 1 idi
for the Bibb Company.
When interviewed on the mat! r ?
subsequent to the publication, of the fat'.
article, Mr. Porter stated that bn
announcement was premature, and 111
founded on nothing more than ’ho
fact that a survey had been mndf* .
to secure data for use at some futur ,
time should production requireme <
demand it.
“The Company is anxious to t.a kv;
advantage of any profitable oppor
tunity to Increase its investment at
Porterdale, and though It has given ,tji
consideration to the possibility of !ti
building a new Weave Shed, it tias lit(
no plans for doing so at any time I M
in the near future. Business con- Ine
ditions will have to improve to the
point where the Bibb can obtain * na
enough business to run its present V
plants full time before it gives any ui
seriou consideration to expanding
them,' he concluded. m
