Waynesboro, Gtu, July 1, 192*2.
IN HAD COMPANY
Under the above caption, the Way
nesboro True Citizen remarks, that
“Clifford W,alker’s line-up in his race
tor governor .of Georgia leaves an un
mistakably unpleasant taste in the
mouths of his former friends in Burke
county anu the state generally.’ To!
which it pointedly adds: “He has
sought out and is tagging on to the
most destructive elements in the po
litical history of the state.”
This is precisely the way we feel
about it, and we verily believe, that
if he were our brother, wei would find
it impossible to follow him with a
crowd; for as The True Citizen goes
on to say:
“His appeal for help from the worst
enemy that ever afflicted Georgia and
Georgia politics combined with the
Ku Klux Kian. Carl Hutcheson andi
similar character in Atlanta makes
his position one that is most unten
able.” For which association the
True Citizen takes Cliff Walker—great
churchman and Sunday school work
er that he is—to task, as. follows:
And we wonder what will be
come of our erstwhile young and
unsophisticated Sunday school
man. He never learned such
things at Sunday school, nr did
he learn that to follow the evil
was right; shun evil appearances
even, but see what he has done.
Right into bad company and of
his own seeking. Have you for
gotten your early teachings. Cliff?
Don’t you know that there is noth
ing good in a combination as de
structive and baneful in its in
fluence. Don’t yon know that
right now the state of Georgia
needs men whose influence for
good and constructive work is 1
unquestioned? We pity the state
and make a plea for its redemp
tion by electing the highest type
of men to office. Go back to the
house of your father’s and re
deem yourself before you go too
far. The governor’s office and in
fact no office is such a prize when
when such elements are sought
only for the purpose of election.
There is a whole lot of food for
thought in the above for those peo
ple who, apparently without weighing
the consequences, are about to find
themselves in the
camp. There is still time for them to
think, however; and to act —to help
redeem Georgia from the curse of
Watsonism. —Columbus Enquirer-Sun

ELUSON’S,
THE PRISON INVESTIGATION
The coming report of the investiga
tion of the state prison farm at
Milledgeville says it is rotten to the
core, and blames the lack of funds as
the cause. The lack of funds may be
the cause of some of the misery at
the farm, but it is not all the cause.
Humane treatment and cleanliness
can be had and must be had. The
prison officials could well take a les
son from Chatham county’s farm, and
learn how they do it there Upon sev
eral occasions the writer has been out
to this particular farm and on eadh
and every instance it found was to be
thoroughly clean and presentable with
out any advance notices of a party
call th6re. The management is on the
job and it is kept as clean and sani
tary as possible at all times. In fact
it was cleaner than the average home
or office and is kept so. As for medi
cal attention a doctor is required to
visit the farm every day and see after
the needs of the sick.
Visitors are courtesly treated and
given every opportunity to see the ef
ficient manner in which Chatham
county operates its county farm. The
state farm, which is a much larger
unit, can be handled in just such a
manner with the proper management.
The state officials might go over the
Chatham county farm where they
would find much to commend and
learn.
THE TAX PROBLEM
Reading a letter from Frank Wel
don, of Atlanta, we find that he ha 3
gone into detail! concerning the dan
ger to the public schools and the pen
sions to our Confederate soldiers if
the tax equalization law is repealed.
He says in “a canvas which has been
made by mail 98 per cent of the peo
ple of Georgia were opposed to the in
come tax and 91 per cent were oppos
ed to repealing the tax equalization
law.” This is an overwhelming ma
jority in favor of the tax equalization
law and nine out of every ten men
heard from were in favor of leaving
it is it now stands, or strengthening
it rather than repealing it. It is also
shown that if the law is repealed that
the state’s revenues will fall off be
tween $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 per
year and that the public schools will
be wrecked and the Confederate Vet
erans kept out of their pensions. It
is also pointed out that the state tax
on property is 50c per $100; tihe coun 1
ty and school tax for the whole state !
averages $1,83 per SIOO, and the city j
and town taxes averages sl.lO per
SIOO. In other words the man whc-j
lives in town pays $2.83 per SIOO as
tbwn and county tax and 50 cents
per SIOO as state tax. These figures ;
show that the city man pays six times
as much for local government as he
does for the state, and the man in the i
country pays his county government
four times as much as he does the j
state. The investigation of the effi-1
ciency board which recently examined
the books of the Agricultural depart- |
ment of the state show a waste of
bet ween $200,000 and $500,000 each j
year. There is much room for im- 1
provement in the economic adminis j
tration of all the state funds and the
people should see that the funds of
the state, counties and cities are prop
erly handled. By all means give us
our money’s worth when it is spent.
Mr. Charles G. Edwards will not
run for Congress from the First Dis
trict in the coming primary.

MAY OPEN BOOKS FOR
WOMEN TO REGISTER
Attorney General Napier Answers
Numerous Inquiries as to Right of
Women to Register and Vote.
Atlanta, June 24.—The following
statement was issued today from the
attorney general’s office.
“Attorney Napier is receiy
ing numerous inquiries as to the right
of women to register and vote in the
general State election this year. Mr.
Napier state today that, while females
under the act of 1921, are entitled to
exercise the elective franchies in as
full and complete a manner as males
the law regarding the registration of
voters has not been understood by the
women.
“The registration lists, he said, are
made up from names on the voters’
books, and the voters’ books are clos
ed six months before the general el
ection. Wiomen had no taxes to pay
in 1921, unless they owned individual
property, and as many of them did not
think of having to register their names
are not on the registration lists.
“The attorney general observed that
a brief act of the Legislature could
authorize women, otherwise qualified
to vote, to register now for the gener
al election, and could require county
authorities to open the voters’ books
for them, and provide for supplemen
tal registration lists so as to enable
women to vote. A great many would
thus be permitted to exercise the elec
tive franchise.”

DR. W. M. ANDERSON WILL SAY I
GOODBYE ON SUNDAY MORNING
Dr. W. M. Anderson, for five years
pastor of the First Baptist church of
Quitman, will say goodbye to his
church and congregation on next Sun
day morning at the 11 o’clock service
Recently Dr. Anderson resigned his
pastorate here to accept a call from
che Baptist church of Waynesboro.
During the five years of his service
in Quitman, Dr. Anderson has done
much constructive work. > When he
came the membership numbered 329
He will leave more than five hundred
members when he goes. Hi 3 church
has done more than its share in the
$75,000,000 campaign drive and has
met all financial obligations.
It is interesting to note that his
church has been unified and solidified
during his pastorate and voted unan
imously for him to remain.
In his opinion however, he believes
he has a greater work ahead of him
in Waynesboro The church there is
one of the outstanding institutions in
the state, although Waynesboro is not
as large a town as Quitman. Waynes
boro church gave $112,000 to the cam
paign as compared with the $50,000
quota in Quitman. Five members
gave SIO,OOO each at that time in Way
nesboro. It is regarded as one of the
strongest churches in the state.
Dr. Anderson leaves Quitman with
regret. He has made many friends
here and his work will remain a mon
ument to his earnest efforts to fur
ther its usefulness. His splendid fam
ily will be a lass in the civic, social
and religious circles of the city and
universally regret i sexpressed that he
feels he should go.
The successor to Dr. Anderson has
not yet been named. A committee has
has been appointed to select a suc
cessor, but no public statement has
been given out as yet as to the pro
gress made—Quitman Free Press June
23.
