High Court Backs
Talmadge’s Acts In Bow
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 20 (GPS)—
A decision sustaining in
principle every contention of
Eugene Talmadge as com
missioner of agriculture in his
controversy with State Veter
inarian J. M. Sutton, handed
down by the Georgia Supreme
Court Thursday, ended Sutton’s
control over the veterinary divi
sion of the department and re
stored supervisory powers over
employees to the commissioner.
An opinion written by Asso
ciate Justice R. C. Bell, in which
every member of the high court
with the exception of Justice
Atkinson, absent, concurred, re
versed Judge Malcolm Jones,
Bibb county judge, who, sitting
in the place of Judge Eschol
Graham, of the Oconee circuit,
granted Sutton an interlocutory
injuction and restained Tal
madge from interfering with
the operation of the veterin
arian’s office.
The commissioner, now gover
nor-designate, in a brief com
ment on the court’s decision,
said:
“It is a well-studied and
correct finding and in line with
my interpretation of the law all
along. The opinion clearly holds
that the veterinary division is a
part of the department of agri
culture and that I have discre
tionary powers as to that divi
sion’s employes, their salary and
their behavior.
“I thoroughly examined the
law before I aited and the court
now holds, as I interpret the
opinion, that my action wa§
within the law.”

Around The Circuit with
the Methodist Pastor
NEXT SUNDAY AT
KINGSLAND:
There will be services at the
Methodist church on Sunday
morning, but our evening ser
vices will be called off on ac
count of revival services at the
Baptist church. Our people are
cordially invited to worship at
the Baptist church Sunday even
ing. We hope that the people of
Kingsland will receive a great
blessing in the meeting that is
being held this week. We are
praying for a great spiritual
awakening among the people of
the town and community.
Let our people remember to
attend Sunday School and invite
others to attend. Parents should
accompany their children. The
children will be greatly encour
aged and the parents will receive
a great blessing when they are
together at Sunday School and
church.
RIGHT THINKING:
David said in the 119th
Psalm: “I thought on my ways
and turned my feet unto thy
testimonies, I made haste and
delayed not to keep thy com
mandments.” It is time that all
people were thinking on their
ways. There are too many think
ing on the other fellows ways
and can tell you too much about
his ways when they ought to be
spending that time thinking
about their own ways. That will
help a lot of folks to spend a lot
of their “spare” time well,
where they are spending it in a
most hurtful way. What about
your life? Have you thought
about it? Does it please the
Master? It is serving the Church
home and community acceptably
in the sight of the Master?
We fear that there are too
many people who are not think
ing. Many are jumpi: : j at con
clusions without weighing them
or thinking them through. A
man said the other day: “I am
REPEAL so that PROS
PERITY will return.” I asked
him how he expected the “RE
PEAL” of the 18th amendment
to bring prosperity to him or
other. He could not answer
why. He only said that it would
and that people would be more
prosperous if liquor was legaliz
ed so it can be sold. I asked him
if he intended to put up a
as soon as the amendment
was repealed. He said no. How in
the name of common sense does
any man expect to become more
because of REPEAL
unless he runs a saloon? He,
many others, read some
thing in the wet press about re
bringing about prosperity or
saw a sign in some window, or
some repeal tag on some man’s
and he had not thought it
jumped at conclu
sions.
He had not thought of pre
days when, for every
of government revenue
that the liquor mill ground out,
people, both rfch and poor,
had to spend almost ten dollars,
taking it away form wives and
children who were hungry and
cold, for the wines, beer and
hard liquors they drank—plus
five dollars for drink made
poverty, crime, sickness and
degeneracy—to say nothing ot
the heartaches and misery of
the drinkers family and friends.
No, there are too many who
have not thought it through.
Minds needs to be exercised in
the right way. It will help people
both mentally and spiritually.
Right thinking Flanders, is good for us.
M. W. Pastor.

better as the weather has im
