General Election
(Continued from Page One)
Swann, Coroner; E. L. Ficquett,
County Superintendent of Schools;
and Isaac Robertson, County Com
missioner.
Other races of local interest are
the post of Representative in the
77th Congress from the Fourth
Georgia District, in which A. Sid
ney Camp, incumbent, was nom
inated; the nomination for the
State Senator for the 34th District
Won by R. P. Campbell; the Solic
itor-General for the Stone Moun
tain Circuit, in which Roy Leath
ers is the nominee; and the Repre
sentative in the General Assembly
in which Thomas G. Callaway, Jr.,
was nominated.
The official ballot this year car
ries the names of five parties:
Democrats, Republicans, Prohibi
tion, Independent Democrats, and
the Independent Party:
Franklin D. Roosevelt heads the
Democratic ticket, while the name
of Wendell L. Willkie appears on
the slates of the Republican Party
and that of the Independent Dem
ocrats. The Prohibition Party can
didate is Roger W. Babson.
A few of the other candidates
have their names on two tickets,
but the larger part of them re
quested that their names not ap
pear on any ticket other than the
party that nominated them.
The race for Governor is consid
ered closed with Eugene Tal
madge, winner in the primary, al
ready slated to sit in the Chief
Executive’s chair after January 1.
Mr. Talmadge’s name appears on
both the Democratic ticket and
that of the Independent Demo
crats.
Leaders of all parties are anx
ious for a large vote. The Demo
crats are anxious to pile up an im
pressive number of ballots in the
face of opposition. The other par
ties feel that a larger number of
votes will give their respective
candidates a better chance at
emerging in the lead after the bal
lots are counted.
Since the first Automobile Show,
the wages generated by the use
of motor vehicles have amounted
to more than 85 billion dollars, or
five times all the monetary gold
now held in the United States.

over our heads, so far and that’s
more than some people have- I
feel so sorry for people who have
lost everything, all in a few min
utes!
“I hope the States won’t have to
use her army, but mind you, it’s a
good thing to be ready, and the
training won't hurt the boys. This
is such a funny war, one doesn’t
know who’s coming in next or go
ing to fall out.
“I’ve got some bits of shrapnell
that I thought might interest the
boys, and if I can send it I will.”
After reading such first hand in
formation from London, England
—and Europe, the Office Boy is
proud to be an American in Amer
ica—but aren’t we all. So, until
next week, I’ll enjoy myself . . .

Government is willing to pay u:
to build our farms and if we ge"
their money we must do a real soil
building job.
Austrian winter peas seeded
now will count next year as a por
tion of the 20 per cent of our land
in soil building crops. We have a
few more days to secure Austrian
winter peas without paying any
cash. Better come and get some
while they can be delivered as a
part of the Grant of Aid Program.
Be sure to save some lespedeza
seed if possible. The reent dry

nessee and North Carolina and
seed may be high and scarce next
spring.
