The flurry of talk about Govern
or Rivers being a candidate for a
third term has died down as quick
b as it flared up which was to De
expected since there was nothing 10
it.
The Governor’s supporters
started the talk were truly hard up
for something to talk about They
must have had their tongues in their
rheeks when they started it. Nobody I
knows be.ter than Governor Rivers
that l e cannot be a candidate for a
third term, but he let the boys keep
their talk going go, g as lon^ long as the\ the.
eould get some publicity, for it did
nobody any harm.
On the subject of the term of the
Governor, the Constitution of Geor
gia is plain and clear, the provision
bein- as follows: "The Governor
shall hold his office during the term
of two years, c until his successor;
shall be chosen and quaiiiied. He
Shall not be eligible to be ejected af
ter the expiration of a second
tor the period of four years.
This means, of course, exactly
what it says; which is that a Gov
emor can serve two term in sue
cession, and after that must step
•side and wait four years t he
is eligible to serve again.
Were it possible for a Governor of
Georgia to serve a third term in sue
cession, Eugene Talmadge would
certainly have been a candidate for
• third term in 1936. He "made out
like” he was seriously considering
the idea, and kept his opponents
guessing down to the day when the
entries closed. But he did not run,.
for the very simple and sufficient j
reason that he was not eligible for.
a third term. Next year Mr .Tal
n.adge will be eligible, -.nd everyone
takes it for granted that he will
• candidate.
The writer the other day asked a j
friend, an able and scholarly and
distinguished gentleman, what ne j
thought of the situation of the Unit
ed States in relation to the Europ
ean War. His reply was so impress -1
lve that the writer took it down
verbatim, and herewith passes it on
as being worthy of profound con
•ideration:
“I am Willing for (he United
States to go to war if any nation or
group of nations should attack us,I
and will support my country' in a
war of self-defense with everything j
not willing for the United States Europ-! to!
be drawn into the present
ean War. Those nations started it;
let them fight it out.”
Otis Brumby, the very able editor
Cf the Cobb County Times, and vice
president of the Georgia Press As
•ociation, calls attention to a steady
Increase in what he terms "white
collar farmers” in Cobb County,
Where Mr. Brumby himself conducts!

There has been some criticism of
t be action of Governor Rivers in
borrowing 11,700,000 of highway
funds to make a payment on ac
count to Gecrgia school teachers,
but the commendation has heavily
outweighed the criticism.
Former Governor Talmadge is not
famous for singing the praises of
the Rivers administration, yet the
use temporarily of highway funds to
make a payment on the large
amount due the school teachers.
$5,000 000 in round figures, has his
approval. As far back as July,
Talmadge was urging that this be
done rather than increase taxes.
The amount of highway
borrowed by the Governor will not
pay in full the amount due the
teachers, but it makes a substantia!
of their account, and Gov
Rivers is working on a plan
to pay them in full from the pro
of a forthcoming sale of high
refunding bonds,
An interesting sidelight on the
made the teachers is that
M. D. Collins, State School Su
perintendent, received a part of the
due him. When the State
