ATLANTA—(GPS) As was!
expected, the question of the [
constitutionality of Georgia’s |
county unit system, which gov- J
trns Democratic primaries, will
rpst with the U. S. Supreme

Having lost the first round in
the legal fight to nullify the
county unit system when a three
judge federal tribunal last week
upheld the system by a unani
mous vote. thusdenying petitions
for injunctions which would have
invalidated the July 17 State
Democratic primary, attorneys
for the plaintiffs immediately be
gan preparing appeals-
To combat the appeals, Atty
General Eugene Cook invited W,
S. Mann of Mcßae, personal attor
for Gov.-elect Eugene Talmadge,
and John Dunaway of Decatur,
to continue as special deputy assi
slant attorneys general.

Letter to Editor
! Mr. C. Cooper Etheridge, Editor
| Houston Home Journal
| Perry, Georgia
! Dear Cooper:
1 I want to sincerely congratulate
you tor the fine contribution you
made to the Farm Rureau in the
publication of your excellent
newspaper for the past two
weeks, and to assure you that the
entire staff of the Georgia Farm
Bureau Federation is grateful for
this spirit of cooperation.
Having spent several years in
the weekly newspaper business
1 am familiar with the extra work
connected with getting out a
special edition, and I know it was
necessary for you to neglect some
of your other duties to accomplish
this fine public service.
With this contribution on your
part 1 am confident Houston
county will reach its quota of GOO
members in short order, and it
would not surprise me to see this
figure exceeded.
With kind personal regards,
I am
Yours very truly,
H. R. Yandle, Director
Public Relations.

'Houston Is Asked I 1
ITO Join Altamaha
I 1
Reginald Trice, president oI i
| the Altamaha Association, has
j requested Houston county to
|join more than 50 other counties
in Middle and South Georgia join
in developing the Altamaha
basin.
Houston county’s quota for'
development program is $2,256, [
payable ,'one-half now and the
other half in two annual pay
ments.
Speaking before the Perry Ki
wanis club last week. Mr. Trice
outlined plans for the project
r which would include navigation,
flood control, hydro-electric pow
er, soil conservation and recrea
tion. A survey to establish eco
nomic justification for the multi
’ million dollar federal program on
: the Ucmulgee, Oconee and Alta
maha rivers already is in pro
■’ gres.s
Bibb, Pulaski, Laurens, Glynn,
Mclntosh. Wayne, Ben Hill coun
ties already have paid in their
pro-rata share of the develop
-1 merit cost' and Jones, Telfair,
' Baldwin, Hancock and many
; others are expected to pay short
-1 iy-
Leaders in the project see the
development as among the]
1 greatest potential achievements!
of this section of Georgia which
! will mean permanent progress
1 for all interests. They say in
, dustry will move southward in
' force if water rates can be es
tablished by making these rivers
navigalbe,
’ (The Home Journal believes'
Houston county would do well to
spend this sum when immeasura
r ble returns can be reasonably ex
pected in the next few years.
