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.

for your consideration:
1. 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

building a homo and farm building?
A. Come by to see us and look
r t!\e plans that are offered
r rec by the Extension Service. We
have a book showing plans that are

for you.
Q. How can I freshen tarnished
'ill buttons and costume jewelry?
A. Purchase a small bottle of gilt
mint and a small brush with which
to apply it. To soften the color, pour
a little gilt paint into a saucer, add
a little rouge and blend well. Try
out your color on some other article
until the desired effect is obtained.
Gilt picture frames or other article
may be freshened in the same way.

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.
