Clayton County Views
BY MRS. PAULINE BRANYON
By the^time this item is in
print, Hon. Herman Talmadge’s
book will be off the press, a book
of usefulness to those who under
stand segregation, and an abscess
for those who fight for intergra
i.ion. No one knows Georgia and
the South more than Herman
Talmadge, and those who have
been down in the mouth over the
South’s problems are going to
have a new face-lifting and a
new shifting of their views; for
there will be good news for the
folks, both the Negro race and
the white race, and there will
be grace for those who think in
terms of nuetrality ana biased

partiality.
We love the Negroes in our
midst, Herman Talmadge does,
too, and there is not a Negro in
the employ of Herman Talmadge
Who would fail to give him credit
for all lie is due, for they adore
him. Some others take a grim
view because they have been
taught that he has fought their
rights. Lots of new lights will be
sifted on the segregation fights
in this book with its new look.
Mr. Talmadge is a great states
man, as was his father before
him; but while most Georgians
adore him, there are a passel of
left-wingers who deplore him.
YOU NEVER KNOW
WHEN YOU'LL WIN
Mr. W. P. Yancey of Rock
Spring Road, got out of bed on
the wrong side on Friday morn
ing. So what? It netted him two
tickets for Loew’s Grand theatre
from the radio show “The Fun
Dialers” who wanted a call from
anyone doing just that. Mr. Yan
cey, told the emmcee he had
been playing with the baby
while his wife made coffee and
that caused him to get out of
bed on the opposite side. Then
the “Jack Pot” question was
"Who wrote ‘I Shot an arrow in
the air’?” and Mr. Yancey came
up with the right answer. It was
“Longfellow.” That won him two
dinner tickets at the Biltmore
and a Bristol-Mevers Gift pack.
Congratulations, sir.
They try to tell the Negro race
they are loosing their civil rights
through such plights.
Besides Tahhadge’s book, there
is going to be a hook on all left-
I wingers with their Red-slingers
i in the South. At last, great men
i of the south have awakened to
' the menace of left-wingism and
its kingism of gobbling up public
opinion. We’re in the clutches of
Communism and its counter part,
intergregation. A regular con
flagation. Woe unto those who
try to put out that Red fire. If
you are important in the public
eye, you are persecuted and al
most executed. If you are not so
important, but have a certain
flare of speaking your mind,
about Communism and segrega
tion, you are just black-listed.
Try it and see—if they can’t
make you flee from the public
eye, they will lie and defy you
to carry out your own destiny.
(I am one of the black-listed
ones — I was not important
enough to persecute openly),
Look what they -are trying to
do, and have done to Sen. Jos.
McCarthy. But he will rise again,
lor he is BIG. He has committed
no sin, but if they could put him
in the pen, they wotild, and
how!
Hon. Talmadge will start the
ball lolling with his new book,
and al) those who forsook or sold
their souls for a mess of pottage
will take a second look. Money
talks, and that mess of pottage
was filled with money, still is,
for those who will heip sell
Russia. But our great men will
crush-er, yet, you can just bet
your last dollar on that. So,
stand t»it, and listen to great
men like Talmadge who are
going to clear away the debris
that the left-wingers have blind
ed the folks with. Let them
writhe in their own agony for a
time, or go to some other clime
to become a part of the other
slaves of Moscow.
The debris won’t be cleared for
some time to come for the seeds
were planted too deep for even
a jeep to gather them up, for
haven’t we had Communism
since Hector was a pup?
Communism started during the
Roosevelt Regime, and few saw
the seeds taking root except the
late old man nearest, the first;
and the late Eugene Talmadge of
Georgia. They both had to pay
dearly for trying to tell the peo
ple that our late President had
stopped being a god—he had
stepped aside to play Russian
roulette—at least, you might call
it that, and then say wnat you
please. If the bumble bees sting,
you have had your fling.

Reminiscences of Bygone Days
BY B. M. WOOTAN
In my boyhood days we had
church services on Saturday and
Sunday. We stopped our work
on Saturday morning at 10 a.m
and went to church, but in this
day and time with .*so many peo
ple just working five days a week
they can’t find time to go to
church on Sunday. They go to
bed Sunday morning at 12 to 1
a.m. and sleep until time to go
to Sunday School and they say
they feel too bad to go but after
breakfast they will get out the
lawn mower and mow the lawn
and wash and polish the car, jobs
they could have done Saturday
afternoon.
Our fathers took their religion
seriously, they put their church
first. I can look back and see in
my mind those old “saints” who
would not compromise their re
ligion with worldly things. I
could name a goodly number of
them and a lot of you readers
would remember them too. They
set the right example before
their children,' they took the?
children to Sunday School and
stayed with them. They never
thought of going back home and
doing a job of work which they
could have done on Saturday.
They kept the Sabbath Day holy
like God commanded them to do.

2 MILES SOUTH OF COLLEGE PARK
If we would read the Bible
more and learn what it teaches
us about keeping the Sabbath
Day as a day of rest and medita
tion on our spiritual standing
with our Maker, how much better
off we would be.
I didn’t start out to preach a
sermon, but it’s time for us to
mend our ways in regard to keep
ing the Sabbath as it should be
kept.
It seems like there are a lot of
our citizens who are satisfied
with our present transportation.
Remember these quotes:
In this darkness and bewilder
ment of our present time, what
a floodlight of hope comes to us
from the word of Kod. He prom
ises to heal our land, let’s have
faith in Him.
We need often to examine ou>.
standards of living in the light
of the ones we want our neigh
bors to live by.
Fear vanishes when we keep
close to Christ our Guide. They
fear who travel alone.
There is a difference between"
those who serve God, and those
who not. God knows, ami in the
end each one must answer to
God for the life he has lived,
and not his neighbors.
