President Sends Message To
Those Who Must
Register
School buses will be utilized in
transporting young men to school
houses throughout Newton Coun
ty for military registration Octo
her 16, officials announced this
week.
Assistant State school superm
tender* Thompson said school
teachers and, school ofiicials are
planning to co-operate in every
wa y possible to make the regis
tration process easy for Geor
g ians
He pointed out that use of the
schools as registration places
wou i(j greatly speed up the work
in Georgia. He said there were
6,000 schools in the state, where
as there are only 1,600 precincts
or polling places.
Both white and Negro schools
whites and Negroes will register
separately.
Thompson explained that he had
received numerous calls from city
and county superintendents over
the state pledging their coopera
tion.
The school superintendents will
meet at 5 o’clock Thursday after
noon in the house of representa
tives to perfect final plans for the
October 16 activities. There willbe
no classes on that day.
The War Department incorpo
rated in its conscription program
Tuesday three more measures to
facilitate the training of men draft
ed for service, to encourage their
initiative and to foster their mo
rale.
Top item was creation of an en
tirely new peacetime system of
Army tactical corps commanders
whose “principal function” will be
to train Regular Army, National
Guard and drafted troops.
Disclosing for the first time that
draftees would be given an op
portunity to rise above a sergeant’s
grade, General George C. Marshall
said that plans were being made
for “candidates’ schools” which
picked enlisted men might attend
for the last three or four months
of their year’s training to work;
for lieutenants’ commissions. ;
President Roosevelt’s message
to the men subject to conscription
is “that each of us must willingly
do his bit if we are to hold fast our
American way of life—our nation
al existence itself.”
The President’s message will go
to every man who registers on
October 16 in the guide book
which is designed to provide the
registrant with all the information

W^I-nmed Like the Face of
Old Fr ~d Each Friday
Morning.
Proof that the Covington News
is read with a great deal of inter
est in other sections of the State
was received this weekinthe
v , as received lhis weck in the form
of a letter written by Mrs. J. N
1 Dobbs.
Mrs. Dobbs, an inmate of the
Alto Sanitarium, wrote A. Belmont j
Dennis, publisher of The News,
saying that the paper was “like
the welcome face of an old friend.”
It was evident from the letter that i
Mrs. Dobbs looks forward each j
week to receiving her copy of thej
paper.
“The News tells me all the news
and gossip-who and what's com
ing to Covington, familiar talk
of people, events from the Chat
terbox, and Mary Lane’s Porter
dale Prattle,” continues the let
ter.
The advertisements are also read |
with much interest as is the news
from Mrs. Dobbs own community,
Almon. Through the News col
umns it is possible for Mrs Dobbs
to find out all about her former
Sunday School pupils and since it
is impos§ible for her to attend
Sunday School, she derives much
help and entertainment from the
Sunday School leson carried each
week in the News.
She urges the News to use its
influence in getting a tuberculosis
clinic sponsored in Covington this
fall for the people of Newton
County. Mrs. Dobbs feels that such
a clinic would uncover potential
cases of the disease and do much
for those afflicted by early treat
ment, and also prevent many other j
cases.
In conclusion the letter says,
“nearly all the people here get
home-town papers and after see
ing theirs I’m afraid I d like to
do a little boasting about our Cov
ington paper. In other words—it s
the best!”
The publisher and staff of toe
News greatly appreciate these
words of praise from Mrs. Dobbs,
At all times they are striving to
give the readers a better papei.
They welcome letters and suggest
ions an dare always gla dto have
visitors enter the plant and see
where and how the papei is pie

Newton County Agricultural News
Given by County Agent McMullan
Jack Wright W ; n
Ribbons at S. E.
Fair.
Farmers of Newton county
should begin seeding grain imme
diately if they have not already
begun. Oats should be in the
ground not later than October 15,
if there is any way possible to get
it done by that date. Early seed
ing is essential to high yields. If
you plan to seed a few acres of
barley get this done as early as
possible. Be sure to treat both
oats and barley for smut. If you
are not equipped to use the Cere
san method then use the Formal
dehyde method. Mix one ounce
of formaldehyde with two gallons
of water. Sprinkle the grain with
this solution while it is being
turned or stirred. When all the
seed are moist, pile into a heap,
cover with sheets or bags and al
low to remain for 4 hours or over
n ight.
We have spent several days this
week at the Southeastern fair with
an exhibit of cattle from the coun
ty. The Jerseys were judged
Tuesday and the Black Diamond
Stables, owned by Jack Wright,
exhihbit from this county were
very successful. They won third
place with a 2 year old bull and
with a junior yearling bull. Sec
ond and third places with a jun
ior calf bull, second in calf herd
and fourth in produce of cow.
If you had seen the class of cat
tle being shown it would give you
a greater appreciation of the
c i a gs 0 f cattle being shown from
this county. Two of the herds on
exhibit have been on a show cir
cuit for several weeks and have
topped the winnings at the larg
est fairs in the United States.
When Newton county cattle can
place second and third against this
class of competition it speaks well
for our local breeders.
The 4-H club boys of the coun
ty have 14 fat steers from the
county on exhibit but they will
not be judged til today. We will
try to give you a list of their win
nings in the next week’s column,

October 1-8 Set Aside by the

Covignton News One of th«
Oldest Paper in This
State.
Newspapers, which seldom re
ceive anything but complaints
fropi the public, will be “saluted’*
for their service to community,
state, and nation October 1-8 as
National Newspaper Service Sa
lute will be observed all over thf
United States. *
That period has been set asid*
for two purposes: first, to renew
in newspaper men their sense of
obligation to the public; and, sec
ond, that the public may pause to
consider what their newspaper
means in the world of today.
Schools, churches civic clubs,
and other institutions and organ
izations are being asked to recog
nize National Newspaper Service
Salute, and to set aside time dur
ing the period October 1-8 in
which to consider the local news
paper. The governors of various
states are issuing proclamations,
asking for observance of the Sa-
1 lute; pastors are expected to
bring a word about newspapers
i into their sermons on October 8:
luncheon clubs will probably hav»
I special speakers on some phas«
of newspaper life or work; may
ors of most cities will officially
proclaim the period locally, am
the president of the United State
has been asked to proclaim it na
tionally.
“This is not just another week,
according to J. Roy McGint:
president of the Georgia Press As
sociation, which is sponsoring tl
