For Congress
i
। To the voters of the Tenth Congre?s-
। ional District of Georgia.
! lam a candidate for the 66th Con
gress, to succeed myself, subject to
r such rules as have been adopted by
the Congressional Executive Commit
tee of said District. I have endeav
oree during my encumbency of office
, to care for the interest and welfare of
, the people of the District whom I
s have the honor to represent. Dur
s ing the past two years I have been
kept constantly in Washington, and
have been deprived of the opportun
ity and pleasure of visiting you, as I
3 would have done had circumstances
been different. However, I feel that
my highest duty required that I
} should remain at my post in Wash
ington during these perilous times,
where I could lend my aid to the
j successful prosecution of the war.
If it is the wish of the people of
the Tenth District that I be returned
to Congress, I shall give my unstint
ed efforts to the prosecution of the
war to a speedy and victorious con
clusion. At the conclusion of peace
I shall try to procur^ passage of such
1 legislation as shall conserve the inter-1
est of the entire people of America,
and guarantee to them a lasting and
i permanent peace.
f Thanking you for hearty and gen
, erous support in the past, and hoping
that my candidacy will again meet
with your approval, lam.
Yours sincerely,
Carl Vinson.

Dropping Saturday
Holiday
Results so far achieved by the Un
cle Sam Service League, organized
among Negroes of the South by ag
ricultural extension workers, indicate
that the old custom in the South of
observing Saturday or a part of it as
a holiday among farm worker* soon
will be largely abandoned.
Six thousand active members in
the league were obtained from eight
thousand registry cards distributed io
Alabama. Resolutions indorsing the
plan were^adopted by the Negro ag
ricultural demonstration agents of
Oklahoma and by farmers and teach
ers attending a short course of in
struction at the colored agricultural
and mechanical university. The
plan is being tried in North Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas, and reports of
progress from these and other sec
tions in speeding up agricultural pro
duction in the South {ire being re
ceived by the States Relations Serv
ice, United States Department of Ag

Big Rattlesnake
j
Wilkinson has some of most any ।
thing, good or bad, that the neighbor 1
counties have. So while they are i
talking about rattle snakes, here’s
one to go with them.
Mr G. J. Lindsey’s dog baved a |
rattler near the house last. Thursday i
and Mr Lindsey shot the snake, and I
then measured six feet of it and
counted ten rattles. Several years
ago this dog was bit by a snake, may
be this same rattler, anyhow he ap
peared extra well pleased about the)
reptile's death.
