EDITORIAL The question of the Georgia gov ernorship rests now with the courts —where it should have been before the legislature took it upon itself lo interpret the laws and elect a governor without the consent of the people of Georgia. The good people of Georgia hope lhat the contending factions will abide by the decision of the Geor gia Supreme Court, and this hope is shared by this newspaper. For anyone in high office to say that the decision of the court will be dis regarded is to sponsor lawlessness and disregard for our whole judi cial system. Tlie election of our officials is the very foundation of our democratic system of government and any ar gument that our courts cannot de cide whether the individual’s civil rights have orhavc not been violat ed in an argument for government by a few. If the courts have no ju risdiction in so vital an issue, then the lessons we teach in our schools —the lessons that there is a balance and check between the legislative, judicial and executive branches of the government should be changed. We believe in orderly govern ment. We said it in the last primary campaign, and we repeat it again. We believe in government by law and not government by bayonet as we have seen in the last few days. We have repudiated government by bayonet before in Georgia, and the good people of this state will repu diate it again. It is a dark day for Georgia, indeed, when we have to call out the guard every time a political faction finds the going lough. Let all the people look at the pre sent spectacle in Atlanta and decide for themselves whether they desire an orderly government or one run by military might. The boys who fought overseas can tell you the re sult of a government by force. These FACTS arc set down here Sager AH Metal WEATHERSTRIP Prompt Application Write or Phone for Estimates.

Herman Talmadge was not qualified as a Democratic nominee j and votes cast for him were cast j for him as an independent. 2. Ellis Arnall is acting very stupidly unless he has some sound legal advice that the election of Herman Talmadge by the legisla ture is subject to a legal test. If he has such advice, then we glory in the courage he showed in facing the insults of the opposition, and their bayonets. 3. Fifty-eight votes which were suddenly found on the counting table decided who would be your governor and mine. 4. County unit system was disre garded in the count in the legisla ture. If it had been followed, Car michael would have carried Hous ton with his three write-in votes here. Mickey Mouse and Kilroy probably won in others where they had not received notice from Roy Harris that Eugene Talmadge might die and Herman wanted to reign in his stead. 5. Roy Harris, through his spokes man, Herman Talmadge, complain <d that M. E. Thompson started his campaign for the governorship “be fore the flowers faded” on Eugene | Talmadge’s grave. It is now a his torical fact that Herman Talmadge ; and Roy Harris started their cam j paign for fhc governorship before t the late Eugene Talmadge became ill enough to suspect that he might I die. (i. The people of Georgia are isked to take seriously votes “writ ten in” for Herman Talmadge, Mic 'cey Mouse, Kilroy, D. Talmadge Bowers (a Republican), Jimmie Carmichael (not a candidate by reason of his defeat in the pri mary), and miscellaneous local favorites. Home Plans Free Q.

Corn Coverage To Be Increased An increase from 12 to 18 bu ] sheis coverage in the crop insurance j program of the Production and : Marketing Association (formerly AAA) was promised Houston coun -1 ty farmers by Lamar Hatcher, field man with the Triple-A, in a meet ing at the courthouse Monday after noon. The increase was made possible by reason of the trial program conducted last year in Houston county, one of 20 counties in the nation where the corn-crop insur ance program w>as tested. In this county last year a total of $2,900 was paid in premiums and losses ' of only $4OO were claimed. There- ' fore, a higher yield could be insured for the year 1947. Mr. Hatcherexplained that farm ers would be allowed 100 per cent on their purchases of lime and phos phate this year, stating that Geor gia is the only state in the nation having a virtually unlimited allot ment. More Blue Lupine Robert B. Jones, administrative officer for the county for the PMA, said Houston farmers are expected to plant a million pounds of blue lupine seed this year. He requested the county and community commit teemen to advise those farmers not now participating to come into the program, thereby bringing into Houston county considerable sums of money that would otherwise go to other areas. He said the program should reach the poorer farms in the county and should be complete. Attending the meeting were L. W. Tabor, H. B. Gilbert and W. N. Johnson, county committeemen, the following community committee men, W. C. Langston, H. A. Talton, C. A. Kersey, J. C. Ward and M. H. Stubbs, and the following addition al farmers, S. A. Nunn, Mayo Davis, George C. Nunn, Felton Norwood, J. Lawrence Hunt, Robert E. Hor ton, W. B. Sexton, W. T. Middle brooks, W. C. Huggins, Jack Miller, Wayne Garrison.
