John A. Dyal Qualifies
For Representative
John A. Dyal, prominent
young planter and poultryman
of this county announces
candidacy for the House of
Representatives.
Mr. Dyal, while only a young
man in years, has long been
identified with public affairs of
the county. He served on the
Board of County Commissioners,
is now a member of the County
Board of Education, a trustee of
the Woodbine school district,
and Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee.
Should his friends choose him
to represent Camden county, he
is fully qualified to do so
creditably. i "V
To The Voting Public
Of The Eighth District
Owing to the financial crisis,
in which we are all involved, I
find myself unable to finance
my campaign for Congress and
must withdraw from the race,
this election.
The good people, for whom I
have practised and who have
stood by me for the past quarter
of a century, are in such finan
cial stress that they are unable
to pay their doctor bills, and
rather than embarras them by
forcing collections, I have decid
ed to withdraw from the race at
this time.
This does not mean that I am
no longer a candidate for Con
gress, but that I am not running
in this election, but will continue
to fight for'my friends and then
just desserts and shall again
enter the race, TWO YEARS
HENCE, if I am still alive.
I wish to thank all my friends
who have stood by me with their
support and encouragment, and
to assure them that I shall
greatly appreciate their support,
when I enter the race again, two
years from now.
With kindest regards and
every good wish for all, I am,
Sincerely,
A. D. WILLIAMS.

Taxes On Eighty
Acres Of Land $1
Soon After War
Atlanta, Ga., June 1, (GPS)—
It cost a citizen of Talladega
County, Alabama, just $1
own 80 acres of land in
county in 1866, according to a
hepefrt received in Atlanta. It
also cost him a special tax of
10 cents, a male inhabitant tax
of $2;40 cents tax on two mules
and a special tax of 71 cents a
year for the State and county
upkeep.
This is shown in a tax re
ceipt issued in the Alabama
county on April 23, 1866 to A.
U. Richards, grandfather of
Otis Richards and greatfather
of Ray Richards, who lives on
the old McIntosh Road below Ox
ford, Alabama. The tax receipt
issued so many years ago was
carried to the office of an Annis
ton, Ala., paper by Ray Rich
ards, who also exhibited a poll
tax receipt issued by his grand
father, the late Thomas Rich
ards in 1874 for $1.50, the re
port said.
it was shown on the receipt
issued to the older citizen that
in those days a tax of 25 cents
was levied on clocks for private
use, and that those who indulg
ed in the practice of raffling off
property would be required to
pay $5 on each $100 thus dis

Around The Circuit with
the Methodist Pastor
THANKS TO THE
fOUNG PEOPLE:
I want to thank the Epworth
Leaguers of our churches for
their thoughtful gift to the
pastor—a check covering his
expenses to the Pastors School
which is being held at Wesleyan
College Conservitory in Macon
May 30, to June 10. Surely
there could not be found a more
thoughtful and loyal bunch of
young people than we have in
the St. Marys, Kingsland and
Woodbine churches. I greatly
appreciate the gift and the fine
spirit in which it was given.
YOUNG PEOPLE’S
ASSEMBLY:
Immediately after the close
of the Pastors School there will
be held at Wesleyan College
Conservitory, the Annual Young
Peoples Assembly, bringing to
gether our young people of the
South Georgia Conference. Wc
hope that our three Leagues will
each send a representative dele
gate. Please dont fail to do this.
The cost will be small and if the
young people of this section will
get together in a car the travel
ing expenses will not amount to
much. If any league has failed
to elect a delegate, do so at your
next meeting. DON’T FAIL.

Wet, Liquor Propaganda;
The Truth Of The Matter:
There has been a move on the
part of a crowd of liquor lovers
in our country 'ever since the
Eighteenth Amendment went
into effect to get the law re
pealed. Billions of dollars have
been raised and spent to fight
for liquor to come back, false
statements have been broadcast
to poison the minds and pre
judice the people against one of
the greatest laws ever enacted.
Wets claim: “Prohibition en
forcement costs the United
States billions of dollars an
nually.
The truth is: “Total cost of
enforcement 1920 to 1931 was
$284,156,524; collections from
fines and penalties and revenues
from taxes on lawful and dis
tilled and fermented liquors was
$548,588,884. The net is a
BALANCE IN FAVOR OF
THE GOVERNMENT of $264,-
432,260.” declares the Prohibi
tion Director, Woodstock.
The Wets Claim: “Prohibition
has caused an enormous ec
onomic loss.” The Truth Is:
“The total uatidna! wealth in
1914 (before prohibition) was
192 billion dollars; in 1931 it
was 329.7 billion dollars,” ac
cording to the National Indus
trial Conference Board, Feb.
20, 1932.
The Wets Say: “Repeal
mibition would put a million
to work making luquors.”
The Truth Is: “Department
, Commerce reported to the
.rate, January 11, 1932 that
4 (before prohibition) on
,000 men were employed in
' he manufacture of liquor. “In
creased employment in the
brewery industry would take
hat much away from the soft
.rink trade and there would be
no net gain in total employes of
dl industries,” according to
Bureau of Business Research,
College of N. Y.
Wets Say: “Beer taxed three
cents a pint would produce an
annual revenue of $500,000,000
yearly.”
TRUTH IS: To raise this sum,
which is more than was ever
raised before by beer, would re
quire that every family in the
states that permit beer, to
drink 1700 pints of beer a year.
YET SOME PEOPLE BE
LIEVE THE WETS:
Know the TRUTH, fight for
the TRUTH, for humanity sake.

much enjoyed by those who at
tended the services at Ruhamah.
At the morning session,
Brother Floyd led the devotional
period, after which Rev. A. M.
McCool delivered a fine address
on Sunday School work. This
was followed by a Round table
discussion, led by Rev. W.
Catlin of Waycross. Dinner
served under the shade of the
l trees which surround the
Church building, and a fine hour
of fellowship was enjoyed. At
2:30 the afternoon session was
opened bv Rev a' C. M. Hart of
Waycross in half hour’s de
votional service, following which
i i Mr. I. T. Sweat, Associational
President of Sunday School
Work delivered an address in
which he dealt with matters
SSartSta vital importance ve?y and inTerestiS which
a
manner.
The night session opened at
8:00 p. m., when Rev. W. B. Cat
lin led the devotions, and Rev.
C. M. Hart delivered the
Brother Hart took for his text
the words, “What think ye
Christ,” and in the course of his
remarks, he summarized
messages of the day, concluding
with a strong appeal to glorify
Jesus in all activities, and es
pecially in the work of instruct
ing the young people in the Sun
day School.
There will be morning Ser
vice at Kingsland on Sunday.
The night service will not be
held on account of the gradua
tion service at the High school.
We trust all our members will
come out and worship at the
morning hour. At the close of
the service, reports for the
month wil be presented to the
Church in a Church Conference.
Will all leaders kindly have their
reports ready for that time?
Please do not forget to bring
your offering in the morning.
Some of our members are in the
habit of making their monthly
contributions at the night ser
vices. Our expenses go
whether we have one or two ser
vices in the day. Please remem
ber this, and come to church on
Sunday morning.
An important
affecting all the members of
the Church will be made at

meeting on Thursday of last
| week in Woodbine. The Womans
I Missionary Unions of the

the Woodbine courtesy of
Methodist Church,
the meeting was conducted
there.
Two very helpful sessions
were held; one in-the morning,
and another immediately after
dinner. Dinner was served on. the
"nirch grounds to a large num
ber, and was much enjoyed.
It was very gratifying that!
the Rally was held with the
■
youngest W M S., m the Dis-j
trict. The Woodbme W. M. S.,j
has not long been organized, j
and it was a means of inspira-!
tion and great help to the mem
bers to have as their guests the
visiting ladies from other places
in the District, and to hear the
addresses, and enjoy the fellow
ship. We believe the fruit of this
meeting will be seen in renewed
activity and deeper devotion to
the Service of the Master on the
part of our local W. M. S.
DON’T FORGET TO COME
TO CHURCH AT KINGSLAND
ON SUNDAY MORNING!
