PEMBROKE, GA. FRIDAY MAY 18th 1934
Sidelights Os Our Trip
To The “White House”
The editor of this paper is
taking the liberty of writing a
few of the interesting ewen
ces that we had on our way to
Washington and return.
We made the trip up by m ;tor
and arrived in Washington on
Saturday afternoon before night,
having made the trip from pur
home in Pembroke tp Washington
in fourteen and one half hours,
including all stops, a distance of
Gli mile.
On our way up we parsed
through Walterboro, S. 0.. Su-np
ter, S. C., Raleigh, N. C. Pet rs
burg, Va , Richmond, Va., nnd
on into the Nations Capful
this trip goes th’rorg h ome of the
prettiest country that we have
ever been privileged to see.
We are unable to tell you about
the many wonderful, things iaat
we had the prevelege of seeing,
but will endeavor to tell you some
of mam points of interest, we
visited Arlington Cemetery, saw
the unknown soldiers tomb, si
ted the old home of Robert E-
Lee, later we went up itrtoujhe
Washington monument, tbit is
one of the worlds wonders, he
elevator goes up GOO feet, giving
you a view of all the surrounding ।
country. The greatest, experience
we had was our visit to the Fee
cutive office of Preside t Ro-.^c
velt, we found the occupants to
be human and greatly interfiled
in the welfare of ournaLon.
We enjoyed greatly our v it
to the Government Printing Of
fice wifleh is the largest pri, g
office in the world, has mor - Lyd?
17 acres of floor space and has
more than 5(100 employes, Dhe
office is housed in a huge 8 story
building and has every modern
printing machine that has ever
been invented. They have 173
linotypes, 180 Monotype casters,
108 large cylender presses, to say
nothing of the thousand and one
other printing machines of one
kind and another-We were shown
through this modern plant by Mr.
E. S- Moorehead Production Man
ger of the Government Printing
Office. Congressman Parker hav
ing completed the ariangements
for our visit.
We visited the Smithsonian
Institute and saw Lindbergs
Plane, the Spirit of St Louis and
the million other items of interest
that is housed in the museum.
The only dificulty we had on
the entire trip was the seeming
of a box of Buttercup Snuff for
our colored cook who accompain
ed us to Washington. 2 After hav
ing been in Washington a couple
of days our co?k gave out of
her snuff and endeavored to
i purchase some of her favorite
! brand, Buttercup, but to her
i amazement she could not locate
I any, they had ether kinds, but
Ola had to have Bnttercup, so we
took our faithful lizzie and set
out to get a box for her we visited
every drug store as that is the
only place that sells snuff there
and we failed to find it, as a last
' resort we finally located a box of
Navy and that satisfied her until
our return this week. Our cook
Isays t’a‘ she will always carry
her a supply on future trios.
Congressman Parker did evry
thing in his power te make our
I trip a pleasant one. We found
I him a very busy man, in fact
i when we found him on Sunday
Ihe was down at his office in the
I House Office Building reading
I his mail, he gets hundreds of
I letters each day.
He gives his personal attention
;to each and every letter. He is at
work both early and late, and un
til we visited his officesand saw
for ourselves we never really ap
preciated the thousand and one.
| things that his constituents back
home call on their Congressman
i to do for them.
■ We found Comgressman Parker
[ to be one of the leading members
of Congress, he isiecognizedasa
b'g man throughout Washington.
Upon om visit at the office of
President Roosevelt we found
that Mr. Parker was well known
there, in fact he was able to carry
i his point and get things done
। when at the very time we were
there two Senators was ahead
; waiting to see the President, to
say nothing of the many other in.
dividuals who were there that we
(did not know. Homer Parker is a
I big man in Washington, he is
representing our district with
honor and credit.
While in the nations capital we
had the pleasure of meeting Hon-
Carl Vinson, another Georgia
Congressman, a man that has
been in Congress for many years,
he was loud in his praise of Con
gressman Parker and asked that
: we mail him each and every issue
lof our paper that had something
nice to say about Mr. Parker. We
laughingly told him . that we
would have to send them all as
we did this each issue.
We could go on and on aid tell
ingyou about our experiences in
Washington, it was a wonderful
trip to us ana one that we will
never forget but time and space
will not permit.
We re back home and we are
■glad : 1 be back, forafter all it is
| like the old saying, ‘‘be it ever so
'hmnb ‘ . eeris qo place like
home .

Says the Dalton Citizen: ‘ The

THE POLITICAL SITUATION
AS IT STANDS IN BRYAN
The Celebration
At Hinesville
Thursday May 17th was a big
day in Hinesville. The people of
this section of Georgia met there
to celebrate the completion of the
Oglethorpe Highway which reach
es from the Chattahoochee River
to Tybee Light. Thousands of peo
ple were present, it was a big
success and everyone that went
enjoyed the day.
There was speaking and then
more speaking, but the main fea
ture of the day was the address
by Governor Talmadge, he was
the man that the people went to
hear but by the time he got. up
to talk everyone else had spoke
and the people had been imposed
on by about twenty speakers who
never knew when to stop, and
Gene had sense enough to know
that the people were tired and
anxiou to eat, he only spoke
about twenty minutes. He made
a good speech and his speech was
well received. It was evident that
the Governor had many friends
present.
There was numerous other can
didates present mixing and ming
iing among the crowd, among
them being Beach Edwards and
Hugh Peterson who are running
for Congress, J. P. Dukes and
Ollie Darsey who are candidates
for Solictor General of the Atlan
tic Circuit. There probably oth
eis, but: these are the only ones
that we met-
All in all the day was a bigone.
The people that were behind the
movement are to be congratula
ted on the big way in winch they
did things.
paign on May the26tb at Calhoun
observes the Adel News- “Some
residents of Cook county who
came from North Georgia, states
that they know him and that he is
a fine man aud a very able one,
that every member of his family
has made good in whatever vocat.
ion thev have chosen.
“ Those who would discount the
ability and the determination of
the Cartersville jurist will have
another idea of him after the
battle is over.,,
CHEVROLET SALES TOP THE
HUNDRED THOUSAND MARK
Detroit, Mich., May 17—For the first
time in three years, sales of an auto
mobile manufacturer for a single
month topped the one hundred thous
and mark. This was brought out to
day in a statement issued by William
E. Holler, general sales manager of
Chevrolet Motor Company, announcing
retail sales of Chevrolet passenger
cars and trucks during April of 100,046
units. This figure includes Canadian,
export and domestic deliveries,
This compares with 59,193 units in
i April, 1933, and 96,893 units in March
of this year, according to the state
ment.
Retail sales the first four months of
this year totaled 281,033 as compared
to 184,138 in the same period a year
ago, an increase of 52 per cent.
Chevrolet’s April retail sales record
is considered significant in view of the
fact that the company has suffered an
acute car shortage, practically since
the new 1934 modelrs were introduced
and only now is catching up in a
small maesur e with the thousands of
unfilled orders on its books. Retail
sales were higher than for any similar
period in 35 months, since April, 1931,
to be exact, and this tremendous retail
volume, according to Mi'. Holler, is the
direct result of the modern features
and many unusual improvements in
corporated in the new 1934 knee action
models.
NUMBER 8
We are like our good friend
Will Rodgers in as much as he
says all that he knows is what he
sees in the papers.
Taking that as a criterion the
following is the political situation
in as far as the County of
Bryan is concerned.
According to the paper we have
the following candidates for Con
gress, Homer C. Parker, the pre
sent Congressman, Beach Fd
wards. and Hugh Peterson. For
Solicitor General of the Atlantic
Judicial Circuit we only have the
one candidate J- P. Dukes, the
present solicitor. For Repsen
tative we have D. B. warnell, the
present Repsentative. That is our
fist of candidates according to the
announcement column of our
paper.
There are other near candidates
snd would be candidates, but just
who they are, we are unable to
tell.
So far no one has announced
for County Commissioner, we
have been told that Julious Smith
would be in the race against J. C.
Stubbs so far he has not announc
ed. When a reporter called on Mr,
J. C- Stubbs last week and asked
him if he would be a candidate,
he reminded us that some time
ago we had published that the
only way we would get rid of J.
C Stubbs and W. R. Clanton was
to beat them out at the ballot box,
and that we could keep on saying
that and we would be. right in as
ns it app!v > a to hjm. Thnt£*.
fore it looks like he will be a can
didate. Willie Clanton says that
he will run to succeed himself,
but so far he has not “put his
money where his mouth is”, in
other words he has not give us his
announcement.
As we understand it there are
several other patriotic citizens,
that have their ears to the ground
and if a sufficient number of the
people prevail upon them to
make the sacrifice, they will be
willing to get in the race. Among
them being Crate Butler and R.
C. Jacobs, both of whom are be
ing mentioned as candidates to
succeed W. R- Clanton.
The policy of this paper will be
to treat everybody fair hut we
will never know that any man is
a candidate for any of the offices
until he has shown his interest in
securing the votes of our county
by at least placing his announce
ment in the columns of this paper
the official organ us Bryan Coun
ty.
Any man that is big enough to
be a Congressman Solicitor Gen
eral, County Commissioner or
Representative is big enough to
place his announcement in the
various papers, If he fails to do
so, we will look upon him as be
ing to small to ever get his name
in print in our colums.
The moral of this, is for all
candidates that are now running
for office is for them to get busy
and place their announcements in
the various papers, it will cost no
more from now until the ejection
than it will for a shorter time
later on. Come on in boys, the
water is fine. We are for each
and every one of you and we are in
favor of everybody running that
wants to, and let the devil catch
the hindmost.
