Subscription $1-50 a Year. 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 nor Woodring.

Kingsland District cast one vote for Upshaw. 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 pass any number of specifis is sues— taxation, the tariff, re lief. unemployment and that gray bearded legislative query, what shall we do to help the farmer? —Savannah Morning News INDEPENDENT - J VST - PROGRESSIVE KINGSLAND, GEORGIA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1932 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. W. B. GIBBS, Solicitor-General, Brunswick Judicial Circuit.

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.

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 Volume Twenty-Nine Superior Court In Session This Week The Fall term of the Superior Court convened at Woodbine Monday with Judge J.

Tyler-Metcalf Wedding Of Interest A wedding of interest throughout Southeast Georgia was that of Miss Leman Tyler, of Broxton, to Mr. Charles Miner Metcalf of Lexington, Ky. The couple were married on Sunday at high noon in the First Methodist Church of Waycross, with the pastor Rev. J. M. Outlet - officiating. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Tyler of Broxton. Mr. and Mrs. Metcalf will make their home in Lexington, Ky. 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. Arthur Harrison, Pastor. No. 51 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 (Continued On Page Four),
