Governor Expresses Hey rets
-Governor Eugene Talmadge has asked us to express
his regrets to the citizens of Newton county for his in
ability to be with them during the homecoming celebration
last Thursday.
He had accepted the invitation and was planning to
come. As late as 10 o’clock Thursday morning his secre
tarv telephoned that he would be present that afternoon.
He had an attack of kidney colic about eleven o’clock and
his physician, Dr. Atkinson telephoned he would be un
able to attend.
Governor Talmadge had been counting on being here
and the invitation was seconded by Pat Campbell, Otis
Nixon and .Judge James Davis, who telephoned him and
urged him to come. He assured them he would be here
and we were all terribly disappointed that he should
suffer this illness at the last minute.
He has completely recovered, however, and we talked
with him Monday at the capitol and he requested us to I
stssure his friends that he would have been here if the
illness had not completely disabled him for the time being.
Governor Talmadge has always answered the call ot
his friends whenever possible and we regret very much
that hundreds of his friends who came here to hear him
were disappointed.
Lieutenant Stanley Jones, who was also scheduled to
speak, telephoned from Florida that he had missed con
nections while there attending a state-wide recruiting
meeting and was also missing.
We regret that these two celebrated speakers were
unable-to attend and we express our sincere appreciation
to those, who did attend.
- Commissioner Tom Linder made a splendid talk which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all present and Pat Campbell,
Judge James Davis and Col. C. C. King filled in noblv for
zzsnx.'Sx S
coming had to be postponed due to the polio scare, he was
unabJe to be here as he had to report to \\ ashington for
the important business facing the House at this time.
.1 I irtory f V>r Hairy
Farmers
Tom Linder, Georgia’s Commissioner’of Agriculture
and militant exponent of better prices for farm producers,
this week won a victory for the State’s dairy farmers when
the Milk Control Board announced that effective October
Standaid \ m l ]k J r 4.3 A °*T fluid r l milk. W °,n ld r6CeiVe 30 CCntS Per Rall ° n f0r
this new price replaces the present average of 14
tents per gallon and makes it possible for milk producers
to operate at a reasonable profit.
The Commissioner’s victory is not a shallow one.
Numerous requests were made for him to issue permits to 1
bring milk, cream and milk powders and milk substitutes
into the State, basing the pleas for importation permits on
an assumption that a milk shortage existed.
Realizing that no milk shortage could exist while
Georgia . farmers being . paid for their milk
were on a sur-‘
plus production basis, Commissioner Linder stood his
ground, and citing the Milk Control Laws of the State.
called the Milk Control Board to give the milk producers
a fair price for their products as the solution to the
problem
C T P JX? A ,, ^ a l/j r ujJ 1 erS r , Ug T re a Talmadge. „ 1Z ?ng' , the . unfairness also , a true , of the friend . . Sltua- of „
non, backed Mr. A* T Linder j in his t?Rht. giving* material aid
in bringing about a fair price for milk and milk products.
The laws of the state, enacted by the Legislature,
say that the producers shall not receive less than one
half-the price paid by the ultimate consumer. The law
making body recognized that amount as an equitable sum
for -the « milk 1 producers p uuceis. No f 10 milk muK short snoil ge tre will Mill exist exist as as
long as Georgia , s farmers have an opportunity to produce
and sell milk on that basis.
This additional aid for the farm families of the State
is not the ultimate solution to all the farmers problems.
There are many others that will have to be faced in the
luture. It is however, another forward step in Commis
■loner Linder’s plan to provide the farmers with an equal
and fair share of the national income.

In these days, with war and defense dominant in
all our minds, we are thinking more nri more in terms
of government. Government maintains armies and navies
and air forces. Government spends the billions of tax
dollars that make the creation of a gigantic military nia
chine possible. Government makes the rules and regu
lations.
Important as government is, we must not forget that
there is another element which is equally important. That
element is industry—industry working under the Ameri
can system of free, private enterprise.
Industry is producing the long list of metals that go
into tanks, planes, and the other weapons of war and de
fense.
Industry is producign the gigantic, ever-increasing
are needed to fuel the factories of America.
lndustrv is urolucinc the trie-antic ever-inrrpasinw
amounts of electric power that keeps the factory wheels
Industry is producing the vast flood of oil* that runs
our airplanes and ships and motor vehicles, and that goes
across the seas to the countries which are fighting against
the forces of dictatorship.
You see this all over America—in the great cities, in
the De 'owns, in the open country. The factory smoke
*UU KS are belching night and day now, working to keep
(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Results)
this thing; we call the American way of life alive—
working: to defeat the greatest menace to freedom the
modern age has known—working to protect and defend
and make impregnable the democracies of the world. It
was private enterprise which made us great. It is private
enterprise which, in the long run, will bring to crashing
ruin the ghastly slave empire which dictatorship has
created through fire and sword. What we are witnessing
today is a war between free men and serfs, between na
tions nutured in the doctrine of liberty and nations chained
by a pitiless conqueror. Who can doubt the ultimate
outcome?
i'ahe Tour (AoiVp
The best argument in favor of the strictest possible
reduction in non-defense government spending is found in
the new tax bill. That bill will reach down into income
brackets never touched before by direct Federal taxation.
It greatly increases taxes in all brackets, and on all indus
tries and individuals. It is the stiffest tax bill in American
history. Vet it will produce less than $4,000,000,000 ad
ditional a year—and our arms spending alone, according
to estimates, will soon reach $36,000,000,000 a year!
There is but one way this country can be saved from
a burden of debt and taxation that would ruin us as surely
as would military defeat. That way is by cutting every
non-defense item in the budget to the absolute bone.
Government must end its competitive program against
highly-taxed private business, on which it depends for the
bulk of its tax revenue. Government in banking, in the
electric power field, in real estate, in farming, and scores
of other projects, is simply destroying its future source of
tax revenue.
Either we will maintain the old American system of
private enterprise, or in another decade, at the pace we
are traveling, we will wind up under a program of state
socialism which will parallel the Hitler regime.

but the evil world era which must
pass away before the kingdom
of Christ can be completely real

away and be superseded by an

sage of the closing chapters of the
Re ' e,alion -
Sometimes it looks as if evil
must grow in extent and in Dower

to the extinction of good and the
destruction of righteousness. As

that ot a cl eansed and renewed

It is difficult for us to under

measurements and description of
the Holy city, but this much is I
plain, it is a real place, God and
Christ are there, there is nothing

Tde Revelation ends much as
it began, on the note of the ex

details are no, for us to know, but
the certainty is absolute The
new age, the new
earth, the new humanity will be'
ushered in with Christ's second !
coming. ‘‘He which testifieth these
things saith, Surely I come quick

Jesus.” Truly this is the hope that
exalts and sustains us.
For the Christian the golden age
is yet to i
