PEMBROKE, GA. FRIDAY APRIL 20th 1934
arrangement that would greatly fa
cilitate travel on two-lane highways
and, in addition would provide addi
tional employment and move a con
siderable amount of road building
materials,
The by-pass would, it is stated,
add a tremendous factor of safety
by eliminating the necessity for fast
{raflic to pass slow vehicles on the
onpogite right-of-way, These addi
tiondl gpurs on two-lane highways
would produce traflic facilities al
most cqual to those of a four-lane
highway. S

Solicitor Generai Atlantic Circuit
| Judge J. T. Grice and Solici

, succeed themselves in their res
l{pective positions.
: Both of thse gentlemen only’
: ’h’e]d their place about four or five
; ,months, having been appointed byi
‘Governor Talmadge to serve an
’lunexpired term. They are bothi
i well qualified to fill their places,
lthey are a credit to the Atlantic
| Circuit and it is hoped that they
! lwill be able to go in for at least
one full term without oppesiticn.
Many two-lane highways are bad
ly in need of something to ease
the movement of traflic. This pro
posed plan would entail a wise ex
penditure of money at the present
| time. Employment wonld be given
in the very fields where unemploy
ment is greatest.
State Highway Denartments could
adopt the rule that slow-moving
trafic should use these hy-passes as
locaied, thus permitiing fast trafice
to clear. Drivers of slow-moving

NUMBER 5
OPPOSITION QUESTION
STILL IS FOREMOST
IN GEORGIA POLITICS
(Ga. Newspaper Alliance)
1 Take all the rumors, prophe
sies and expert opinions and try
to unscramble them, so as to tell
heads from tails in the Georgia
boliticial situation, and the follow
ing emerges as the safest and
most nearly certain analysis that
can be made:
The chances are 1000 to | that
Governor Talmadge WILL have
opposition.
From the Talmadge camp came
confident verbal declarations that
there will be no opposition, while
pro-Talmadge forces and news
papers predict and plead for only
one name on the gubernatorial
tciket. The Governor's supporters
declare no one dares oppose the
incumbent. From the ranks of
those opposed to Talmadge come
declarations, likewise verbal, that
the Talmadge people are obvious.
ly trying to create the impression
ovr the state that no one dares
oppose the incumbent, while they
figuratively are trembling in their
boots with fear.
Talmadge people say that op
position would be political sui
‘cide for whoever might run and
*Ehia opponents indicate that it wont
"be long before the opposition
leaders will center on some indi
ividual to carry their banner with
all anti-Talmadge leaders support
ing him.
1 Talmadge people are repairing
itheir fences with resolutions of
;endgrsement of the governor
iad.optecl by the various orginiza
itions in the expectation of thus
increasing the governor's strength
‘ In the meantime, the opposi
tion forces are getting nearer and
‘nearer to agreement on the man
‘who is to carry their banner, de
claring their candidate will have
the unqualified and unanimous
support of all those who have
been so prominently mentioned
as Possible candidates. Some of
them think that the governor's
lieutenants may endeavor to give
the appearance of lack of unity
in the opposition camp by putting
into the race some candidate just
strong enough to split the anti-
Talmadge vote and muddy the
waters. *
At present the fact remains
there is officially only one candi
date for the Governor of Geor
gia, and that is Eugene Talmadge
‘whose entrance fee was paid dur
‘ing the past week.
Columbus Roberts of Colum
‘bus has qualified for the race for
the commissioner of agriculture,
Iwhile Secretary of State John B.
' Wilson, Attorney General M. J.
Yeomans, State School Superin
tendent M. D. Collins and State
Treasurer George B. Hamilton
]have qualified as candidates to
succeed themselves.
The State Committee has fixed
May bsth as the closing date fcr
all candidates to er ter for the Sep
| tember primary. This means that
l those who have political aspira
tions this year must get busy
right now. Dont see any indeation
yet of an opponent for Governor
Talmadge but no doubt a man
( will be found yet that will be will
’ ing to make the race, With more
tthan one candidate against him
‘the Governor will have a walk
‘over, but if there is only one can
didate and he-is a good man, the
race will be close and exciting.
Business must be getting better
‘we hear very little complaint now
i a days, and it appears tous that
there is work for all who really
|wants work. Os course this work
may not be just the kind that
they bad rather have but just the
same it is work and will provide
the necessities of life.
