Roosevelt’s Electoral Vote Goes To New High Of 472
G. 0. P. HOLDS ON
TO BUT SIX STATES
Democrats Capture 25 of The
34 Senate Seats
The revolution at the polls
which elevated Franklin D.
Roosevelt to the presidency and
cut down Republican office
holders was emphasized by late
election tabulations.
The figures told the story of
an electorate so determined upon
a change that it braved almost
every variety of weather to
reg'ster the greatest popular
vote ever known, millions higher
than the outpouring drawn by
the intensity of the 1928
campaign.
President Hoover saw every
state west of the Alleghenies
turn against him. Only
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Dela
ware, New Hampshire, Vermont
and Maine kept the Republican
faith.
Roosevelt’s electoral vote
reached a new high figure of
472. Mr. Hoover had 59. For
election, 266 were necessary.
Hoover received 444 four
years ago.
Michigan, staunch since the
birth of the Republican party,
went Democratic. So did Iowa,
birthday of Herbert Hoover;
California, where he lives,
Kansas, home of Vice President
Curtis and among others, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota.
That was only part of a
country-wide political upheaval.
The result was substnatially
the same whether one looked at
the Senate, the House, guber
natorial races or even returns
affecting prohibition.
Pclitncal old timers blinked as
they trifxl to envision a Senate
without Republican (inch old captains of. “Jim'’ i the
guard as
Watson of Indiana, Reed Smoot
of Utah, George Moses of New
Hampshire and Hiram Bingham
of Connecticut. All beaten by
Democrats. Add to them another
veteran, Senator Wesley Jones
of Washington. The eloquence of
Senator Borah of Idaho appar
ently failed to save his Republi
can colleague, Senator John
Thomas.
The opposition of anti-prohibi
iion organizations and of devot
ed followers of A1 Smith, com
bined with the ordinary Republi
can opposition, did not prevent
William Gibbs McAdoo from
winning easily in California.
There were thirty-four Senate
seats at issue. The Democrats
captured twenty-five of these
to give them fifty-six seats in
the seventy-third Congress. The
Republicans took five. The
others were still doubtful.
On the House side; already
Democratic, the tale of Republi
can disaster was repeated. The
winners have 218 seats there
now. They are certain of about
260 after next March 4—and
seventy-eight House races are
- till in doubt.
The aggressive and inde
pendent LaGuardia of New York
rules often with House Demo
crats but the label, Republican,
seemed too much for him to
overcome. A Democrat will take
his place.
Ruth Baker Pratt, of New
York, lost to a Democrat.
Republican Floor Leader Snell
was re-elected, however, from
upstate New York.
The tabulations tell another
ad Republican story in the
gubernatorial races. There were
elections in thirty-four states.
The Democrats won eighteen of
these and on the basis of votes
compiled late today were leading
In eleven other. They displaced
eight Republican. Floyd B.
Olson, farmer-labor was elected
in Minnesota.
The Kansas Democratic trend
was reversed, however, and a
Republican was leading Gover

In Wisconsin, the combina
tions of progressive and Demo
crats not only carried the state
for Roosevelt but elected a
Democratic senator and gover
nor, beating Walter J. Kohler
for the state office.

doxes of American politics most
of the anger and bitterness of
the pre-election campaign seem
ed already dissipated.
Following a sportsman’s
tradition, President Hoover
awaited only until he was
certain he was beaten to send
his congratulations to Governor
Roosevelt.
The latter, elated but sobered
too by the responsibility so
vigorously thrust upon him, ex
pressed his appreciation for the
President’s message today.
For the second morning in
succession the New York gover
gor had a late and leisurely
breakfast. All his day, however,
was not given 'to rest for he
made his first address as
President-elect during the after
noon, thanking his supporters
and inviting them in solving
problems which bulk just as
large after election as they did
before.
“It is a vote that had more
than party significance,” he said
of the election. “It transcends
party lines. It became a
expression of libera] thought. It
means, I am sure, that the
masses of the people of
nation firmly believe that there
is great and actual possibility in
an orderly recovery, through a
well conceived and actively
directed plan of action.
“Such a plan has been pre
sented to you and you have ex
pressed approval of it. * * * This
clear mandate shall not be for
gotten. * * *»>
President Hoover described
by his aides as the “tiredest
man in Amercia,” got a much
needed rest at his Palo Alto
home. He was considering a trip
through the Panama Canal be
fore returning to Washington
but he also thought of getting
on his special train tonight to
return to Washington and his
job.
The Democratic platform and
the Democratic candidate urged
outright repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment and
immediate modification of the
Volstead act but not all party
candidates agreed with that
stand, just as there were
differences among Republicans
on the issue.
Classifications by anti-prohi
bition organizations estimated
that at least forty-seven senat
ors in the seventy third Congress
would support repeal or resub
mission of the Eighteenth
Amendment. From the same
sources came claims that
approximately 203 House mem
bers in the same body would
favor giving the people a chance
to express themselves on the
liquor laws.
The question of repeal or
modification in the coming Con
gress moved further up front
with the assertion by Senator
Robinson, of Arkansas, Demo
cratic leader, that he saw no
reason why the issues should not
be passed on when Congress
meets again,
At that, the economic situa
tion may overshadow prohibi
tion as it did in the campaign
just closed. Economics encom

Solicitor Gibbs
Urges Red Cross
Membership
It is my opinion that the
American Red Cross is one of
the greatest relief institutions
that we have in America. In
times of distress and disaster
the Red Cross is always the
first aid, not only for medical
atti ntion but food and clothing
as well. It is not only valuable in
time of war but in time of peace.
It was the first to go to the
rescue of the sufferers from
the big storm in Florida a few
years ago and the Mississippi
flood, and it is now doing a
great work in aiding the poor
and needy.
I have been a member of the
R'‘d Cross for 16 years and for
a number of years was chair
man of the Red Cross in Wayne
County, and I earnestly urge
that all American citizens who
oossi Ply can become members
as it only costs one dollar a
year and this one dollar a year
amounts to a great deal if
everybody would join. I there
fore earnestly urge all of those
who can to join and become
members.

Kingsland School Has
Highest Attendance
Record For Oct.
At the November meeting of
the Camden County Board of
Education held in the Superin
tendant’s office at Woodbine,
Chairman Kelly Liles presided
for the last time before entering
the office of Tax Collector to
which he was elected in the past
primary.
A resolution of appreciation of
Mr. Liles loyal and efficient
service, and of regret that he
must leave the board was pass
ed at this meeting following his
resignation. At this meeting it
was also decided to permit the
teachers of the county to enjoy
a holiday on November 10, for
the purpose of attending the
regional meeting of the Georgia
Educational Association to be
held on that day in Baxley.
In discussing the progress in
the schools, Miss Proctor,
Superintendant, stated that she
was very pleased with the
attitude and cooperation of the
teachers in the five consolidated
white schools in Camden in
stalling and perfecting a uniform
course of study throughout the
system. Miss Proctor said that
the interest and enthusiam in
this school plan was particularly
evident at the monthly county
meetings held by the teachers,
The attendance and response at
these meetings has been remark
able,
The report on the hookworm
treatment given each year to
those children who are in need
of such treatment showed a
marked decrease; it is now an
assured fact that with in
short time and dueito persistent
work that the tragedy of hook
worm infested children will be
stamped out of the 'schools of
Camden.
The diptheria tesj–jnd toxin
anti toxin are being given in the
schools also since a school child
in an adjoining county recently
died of diptheria. There are
many applications for books by
those unable to buy them. These
requests have been tinned to
local P. T. A.’s and charitable
organizations and local Boards
0 f Education.
It was decided by the Board
that in the issuing of prize
money won by a school for high
attendance record, the money is
to be paid to the local Parent
Teacher Association if there is
such a locjaB organization and
that the Association shall decide
how the money shall be spent.
If there is no such organization
the money shall be delivered to
the local board, the money to be
used as the board sees fit.
The attendance officer report
e d the Kingsland school having
the highest attendance record
for the second month. This is the
first time the Kingsland school
has held the high record in the
county, and the school and the
principal, G. T. Butler, who has
cooperated and worked tirelessly
to bring the school this honor,
should be commended for bring
ing up the past low attendance
average of the school to first
place among the county schools.

New Cash Crop In
Satsuma Oranges
Shown In Georgia
Brunswick Ga., Nov. 10 (CPS)
—During a period of years Col.
L. Huston has devoted his
time, efforts and money to the
land plantation on the banks of
the Altamaha river and finally
his task has not proved in vain
and he has encounted success.
The success has come with
the production of satsuma
organes for commercial purposes
on his place and in the sandy
soil in the Dover Hall vicinity.
He has given this section an
other cash crop and is advocat
ing the further planting of
satsuma trees by those eager to
make a financial success of their
efforts.
Col. Huston, who came to
Georgia several years ago at the
invitation of officials of the A.
B. – C., Railroad and reclaimed
the vast delta lands of the
Altama'qjk river after being a
co-owner of the New York
Yankees ball team for years,
accepted the development of the
piesent site as a hobby and
what a hobby it has turned out
to be. There today stands one
of the horticultural showplaces
of the south, where things are
being accomplished and progress
recorded each year—all for the
betterment of this inmediate
section of Georgia.
At this particular time Col.
Huston is not only devoting his
time and efforts to the satsuma
but is keenly observing the pro
gress of lemons, limes and corn
quarts as other crops for this
section of coastal Georgia.
Baptist Church
News Notes
The unsettled weather inter
fered somewhat with the at
tendance at the services at
Kingsland last Sunday; but
notwithstanding these condi
tions there was a very good
Sunday School report, and sever
al new members were received,
and a fine attendance at the
service that followed.
At the close of the morning
service, the church treasurer,
Mrs. S. C. Sheffield presented
the report of the Finance Com
mittee. Several small bills were
presented for payment, and a
strong plea was made to the
church to make it possible to
“nay as we go. ’ There is every
reason to believe that the
church as a whole is ready to
co-operate with the Church
Committee in bringing this
about.
Heavy rain prevented the
holding of a night service. There
were a few members present
however, and after family
prayer, and the reading of a
passage from the Scriptures, the
meeting was closed.
Services on Sunday will be at
Woodbine at the usual hours;
11:00 a. m., and 7:30 p. m. We
invite all the members to be
present at both services, and we
hope to see a large number of
visitors. We very much appreci
ate the attendance and kindly
interest of members of the other
Churches, and the fine spirit
that has prevailed throughout
the three years we have been
associated in the Lord’s work in
Woodbine.
The work there is steadily
growing, and at the present
thru there is a Woman’s
Missionary Society that is doing
a fine progressive work, and
lately there has been organized
a B. Y. P. U. The Missionary
Society meets twice a month on
Tuesday afternoons at the
homes of the members, and the
B. Y. P. U., meets on Thursday
nights in the Methodist Church
building.
We now have a B. Y. P. U., at
all of the three churches on this
field, and two out of the three
have a Woman’s Missionary
Society.
Let us all turn out to the
services on Sunday and enjoy
the Christian fellowship that
the services offer. Let us come
praying that God will give us a
great day in His service , out of

Around The Circuit with
the Methodist Fi–tor
A LAST HOUR APPEAL:
1 am taking this opportunity
of appealing to the membefs and
friends of our churches, insisting
that each one do their part dur
ing these last hours of our Con
ference year and see to it that
the church, pastor and people
will not be imbarrassed because
of a report that will look like we
have fallen down on our jobs.
There are a number of mem
bers who have kept up with
then monthly payments of dues.
Some of them have possibly
made some sacrifice in so doing
but they counted their church
worthy. Now, if you haven’t
paid up fully, will you not make
every effoi# to do so this week.
If the church has meant any
thing to you, your family or
your community, it is worthy
of your support. If you see
where you can pay even more
than your pledge, will you not
do so that your church will make
which much lasting blessing
mav come to our own souls, and
much glory to Him.
The Ruhamah Church is doing
good work. The majority of the
members both young folks and
adults attends the Sunday School
every week, and the B. Y. P. U.
is doing much for the develop
ment and training in service of
its members. We hope before
long to arrange a joint meeting
of all the B. Y. P. U.’s on the
field, at one or other of the
churches.
On the last Sunday of this
month, and up to December 4th,
there will be conducted through
out our churches, in co-opera
tion with all the churches of
the Southern Baptist Conven
tion, an “Every Member Can
vass.” Each member will be
asked to definitely pledge him
self to the support of the local
work, and also the work of the
denomination. Some folks do
not like the idea of making
definite promises to the church.
We do it to the grocer, the
Light Company, the merchant ;
we expect others with whom
we do business to make us
definite promises, otherwise how
could we carry on? Are we not
in duty bound to assume our
part of the responsibilities of
the church of which we are
members? Does not the Bible
teach us to aside a definite por
tion of our income to the Lord?
Who should pay the bills of the
church? Surely not the finance
committee; not one or two of the
members but the whole member
ship should have a share in the
churches obligations. Let us do
things the Lord’s way and every
obligation will be adequately
met as soon as due.

County Tax Returns
Lower Than Last Year
County tax collector Joiner
states that tax returns in
Camden are from 18 to 20 per
cent lower than last year.
Anticipating this decrease the
County Board of Education at
the beginning of this term cut
the school year from nine to
eight. This is the first time that
the school year has ever had to
he shortened in Camden.
This move being made on
account of unavoidable condi
tions, the board has asked the
full cooperation of the county
teachers in making an effort to
cover the nine months work in
eight.
The board also foresaw the
decrease in state tax returns
which has recently been
announced for this year by state
officials and reduced all salaries
and transportation costs at the
beginning of this school year. It
is hoped that these reductions
will adequately care of the
decrease in that portion of the
county income which is used for
the county schools.
a good report. See one of the
stewards or the pastor and hand
in a contribution that will help
the cause. Remembei; this must
be done by Tuesday at noon as
the pastor will leave for Con
ference on Tuesday afternoon,
November 15th.
The reports of our churches
will be given separtely this
year. So it will not read what
the Charge did, but what your
individual church did. We are
going to have the best reports
that has been carried to Con
ference in many ye'ars on the
Sunday Schools, Ep worth
Leagues, Missionary Societies
and the reception of members
which has reached well over
three quarters of a hundred.
The only thing that is lagging
is the finances which we hope
to remedy and get in proper
shape.
THE SPECIAL SERVICES
LAST WEEK:
vVe believe that the speck,
services held at Kingsland each
evening last week proved to be
very helpful. We appreciate the
timely and inspiring messages
from our presiding elder, Rev.
Jas. R. Webb, Rev. W. L. Higgin
our paster at Fernandina, Fla.,
Mr Ralph Smith, Lay Leader
of the Brunswick Group and
Rev. W. A. Kelly, pastor of
Trinity church, Waycross. We
appreciate the fine attendance
at these services, regardless of
the rain ancf ugly weather.
NEXT SUNDAY*:
We have only two mor
preaching services before Con
ference. Next Sunday should
be a great day with us at Kings
land in the morning, and at St.
Marys in the evening. You e
help make it a great day by go
ing to church yourself and ask
ing others to go with you. I still
(hiiik it is a beautiful sight to
behold to see father, mother and
children in Sunday School and
thou sitting together in the
church pew at preaching service
Go to church next Sunday.
Last Sunday was our last day
at Woodbine. There were 95
people present at Sunday School
an:’ the church was filled for
preaching service in the morn
ing. In the evening the people
came through the rain and very
near filled the church. We win
be looking for you.
ANSWER THIS FOR YOUR
SELF:
“What kind of a church would
our church be,
t every member were just
like me?”
These lines rhyme well. They
jmgle like bells. Repeat them;
sine them; whistle them. Every
one “just like me.” Such a
church ought to please me.
Would it please the Master?
What kind of a Prayer Meeting
should we have? Every member
“iust like me.” How about the
Young People’s Department, the
Sunday School. And the church
treasurer? How much money
would he have? “Just like me.”
What, would the unconverted
