Sage Of Sugar Creek Denies
Affiliation With Garner
In the daily papers this week Eugene Talmadge
sometimes known as jthe “Sage of Sugar Creek” made it
very plain that he was not a party to any effort to pro
mote the interests of John Nance Garner for president in
the state of Georgia.
Those of us who know Gene were more than a
little surprised to see his picture in the expensive
phlet issued by Edgar Dunlap in the interest of a presi
dential primary in Georgia.
Most people are certain that the expensive pamphlet.!
issued in the interest of a presidential primary was
merely a cloak to promote the candidacy of Garner in
this state. The fact that the picture of Senator Walter
F. George appeared first in the booklet, even before that
of Garner, is an evidence that the money was supplied
by leftover funds of the George race for Senate.
Mr. Talmadge made it very plain that he was not aj
party to any campaign to promote any individual candi
date in this state for the presidency. He is busy in his
own woodyard and is quietly, and competently marshall
ing his own forces for the purpose of being elected Gov
ernor in the primary this fall.
That he has a very excellent chance of succeeding is
acknowledge bv all. There is no candidate with anything
like the background of popular interest so far developed.
Theie is a possibility that the position of Columbus Rob
erts may be improved in event he joins with the Progres-
8ive forces who have been left without a popular candi
date now that it is practically a certainty that Lawrence
Camp will be appointed to a Federal judgeship.
Should v olumhus Roberts, who w–s elected on the
Roosevelt ticket with the four “R’s” in 1936, Roosevelt,
Russell, Rivers and Roberts, once more join hands with
the Roosevelt forces of the state who are known as the
Progressive . Democrats, formerly headed by Lawrence
Camp, but now under the leadership of John Ferguson.
of Tifton, he would be a very worthy foe indeed.
With Camp’s vote of 73,000 as a starter he
be in much better condition than he now appears, His
business ability and integrity is well known and with this
nucleus of 73,000 votes and the assstance of his friends
who have worked with him in the Bureau of Agriculture,
he would command much respect throughout the cam
paign.
We may as well acknowledge though that as long
as Gene Talmadge is in the race any man must com
mand a number of votes to be able to be the next Governor
of Georgia. The only question mark that now appears
as to his success is whether or not Hugh Howell will be
able to make any dent in his following and whether or
not the above deal with the Progressive Democrats of the
state and Columbus Roberts is consummated.
It is a known fact that Edgar Dunlap, who is now
so much in print due to the fact of the above mentioned
pamphlets and his fight for the presidential primary, has
been awaiting the beckongmg call of any faction to be
Governor for lo, these many years. Each year he has laid
himself wide open for an invitation to run but so far the
invitation has not been received.
As we all know a man just can’t run for the position
of Governor without some hacking and influence and it
seems that none of these avenues of influence which open
the path for Dunlap for Governor have looked upon his
ambitions with favor.
It may be that his fight for presidential primary
primary at this time is another of his attempts to be
wooed. This being leap year he probably hopes that the
role of playing the shy maiden waiting to he wooed may
be discarded and instead be the bold, brazen female car
featured in the comic valentines and thereby win the notice
'
of the powers that be.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast but we
are afraid the spring will have to be eternal if it is per
petuated in the breast of Edgar Dunlap. We hardly be
lieve even his change of method this year will cause
thing worth mentioning.
A man who will ride one horse, as he did being chair
man for the Roosevelt Ball committee one years and turn
ing on the hand that fed him. even while holding a lucra
stive federal position, the*next year and switching entire
ly over, and becoming very angry because he was relieved
of his position, is in our opinion, very poor timber for the
Governor’s chair of Georgia.
Gracious Lady Passes
Friends throughout the state sympathize with W. G.
Sutlixe, editor of the gavannah Press, in . the loss of
his gracious and charming wife. She was the center of a
truly delightful home whose hospitality we have been
privileged to enjoy.
She will continue to live in the fins sons and daughter
in whom she has inculcated the principles of graciousness
and kindness, which permeated her whole being.
To her splendid husband, daughter and sons we
sincerely hope the Great Comforter will be with them in
their sorrow r,nd as time passes the pease that passeth
all understanding will , enter into , their souls, with the
knowledge that God has called her as His own.

Some time ago in a city in the
great Northwest, we were conduct
ing a revival campaign In a large
tabernacle. One night I dismissed
the crowd and started out of the
building. A feeble old man came
down the aisle and took me by the
hand. "I would like to speak to you
a minute, Brother Bob,’’ said the
old man, with a trembling voice.
“All right,” I replied, “I will be
glad to talk with you”
He looked at me a minute and
then said. “Let me get where I can
prop against the wall, for I am
feeble and old and trembly in the
knees.” We walked down the aisle
toward the door, and he leaned his
old stooped shoulders against the
wall.
“Brother Bob,” he began, “I am

1 everything was beautiful. We were
' happy in God’s work.
“After I began my ministry here
| in the Northwest tt occurred to us
1 that my denomination had no
school anywhere in this section of
the country. We preachers had a
conference. We said, ‘We must build
us a church school so we can edu
! cate our own children.’ We perfect
ed the plan. I subscribed a hundred
dollars a year- You know, I have
never made over a thousand dol
lars a year preaching. My dear sweet
wife made her pledge, and though
she wasn’t strong physically, she
did her own washing and saved the
money to give to the school. We
had but one child. He was a
boy.” .
The old mp’s face lighted as he
continued, “He was a groat boy.

He graduated from high school with
honors We were proud of him. He
was president of the young people's
society in my church. He prayed in
public. Everybody said he was an
ideal preacher
“The day came when he was to go
to college. It was the happiest day
of my life. Wife and I stood on the
Gospel. I came to the great North-
west as a missionary. It has been
nearly sixty years now since I ar

here I brousht my bride Oh, how
happy we were! We were young and
front step and kissed our darling
boy good-bye We both cried. We
didn’t cry because tve were sad. We
cried because we were proud of our
boy. He looked so manly and clean
as he went out the gate, and his
shoulders were so broad and he was
so erect. That night wife and I got
ready to retire. We knelt together
by the bed to say our prayers. I
put m y arm ar0 und her, and she
