J ffect on similiar suits made the
decision sufficently far reaching

Evangelists Hold ^
Successful Union
Revival Meeting
The Union revival services
which weie conducted at the
court house for two weeks by
Evangelist Jimmie Johnson, a
graduate of Bob Jones College,
assisted by Tom Jackson, evan¬
gelistic singer, also a student of
Bob Jones College, have closed.
However, the wondeiful gospel
sermons will live on in many
hearts and the seed sown will be
reaped in the days to come. A
number made a definite decision
to live for Christ and it was evi¬
dent many others were made t o
stop and think seriously about
the salvation of their souls. It
impossible to estimae t e good
Chat might have been done if the
entire communiny had cooperated
whole heartedly.
One man was heard to remark,
“Those meetings over the country
are just advertisements for the
Bob Jones College.” An old gray
haired man well passed his three
score years and ten, replied, “If
these are the kind of young men
Bob Jones College turns out. they
have something worth advertis¬
ing. Isn’t it better to send out
preachers of the gospel rather
than bootleggers, gangsters and
thieves”?
It is true that Mr. Johnson and
Mr. Jackson are doing field work
for Bob Jones College but this
did not enter into the services at
any time.
It is indeed refreshing to find
young men in this day of science
and modernism who have dedi¬
cated *heir lives to spreading the
gosoel of our fathers and a hearty
welcome will always awa t them
a any time they can return.
As the Twig is Bent
The Court room was not crowded
Only a J. P. standing there,
And a mother fighting
her son,
While he sat silently on his chair.
She swore he was a criminal,
Wicked through and through,
Soon the J. P. found him guilty,
What more could any man
With head bowd low in shame,
I saw him go to jail,
No loving mother to guide
No dad to go his bail.
No matter how wicked my
may be,
I am his mother, lie is my
I never could stand against him,

Tbree-dollar tag campaign

in truck and bus rates effected by
the Talmadge administration,
teady for the action ol the Legis¬
lature, to pay the back salaries of
the common-school teachers and
the Confederate pensions.
While these reductions in taxes
were being made all the depart¬
ments of the State Government
were operating and $2,141,177.34
of back indebtness was paid Iasi
year-1933.
For the first time in 30 years
the State Government of Georgia
has not borrowed one cent this
year and does not intend to.
Out of the emergency funds for
the Governor, two buildings were
erected in 1933 at the State Hos¬
pital for the Insane at Millegeville.
This additional room there reliev
ed many of our insane who wete
being confined in jail all over the
Sale. Al hough this emergency
fund was cut in half foi 1934, one
building fo, the same purpose has
been erected at the State Hospi¬
tal at Millegeville. These build¬
ings are paid for out of the emer¬
gency fund, spot cash.
This building program has in¬
creased by 750 the number of pa¬
tients that can be cared for.
By the elimination of overhead
c-xpences this year, the accomoda¬
tions at the State Tuberculosis
Sanitorium at Alto has been in¬
creased to care for 55 more pa¬
tients.
For the first time in 30 years all
the indebtedness of the State
Eleemosynary Institutions has
been paid. The only bills now
owed are for current expences.

The regular Camp Wilkins
Week, or State 4-H Club Camp
foi boys, will bo held in Athens
during the week of July 30 to
August 4. Cost of the trip includ¬
ing all expenses will range be¬
tween $0 00 and $7.00. Nine boys
from Dade county attended the
camp last year and it is expected
that there will be 15 or 20 who
will attend this year. Any 4 H
club bey who wishes to go should
see me at once so thM I may make
reservations. We eJ^ect to make
the trip in a school bus, leaving
Trenton on Monday morning

All farmers growing cotlon this
year will be required to makeap-
plicaiion for tax exemption certi-
fica es in order to avoid payirg
the taxes on cotton grown this
year. Applications for these ex¬
emption certificates may be made
in my office any day that you wish
to apply. Applications will then
be sent to the State Allotment
Board who will make the allot¬
ments and issue the exemption
certificates to cover the allotments*
Farmers are requested to make
these applications at their earliest
convenience so that we may com
plete the work in the county and
get our allotments as early a s
possible. Members of the County
Cotton Committee will work in
my office to assist in taking the
applications. Failure to make
application for exmiption certifi¬
cates will make ymur entire crop
subject to the tax, so it is very
necessary that every farmer grow¬
ing cotton this year make appli¬
cation for exemption certificates.

State Gets 50,000
Head of Western
Drouth Cattle
GNA— Staging one final stamp¬
ede before being turned loose on
Georgia pastures, a carload c f
cattle from the middle west treat¬
ed citizens sf Fiovilla, Georgia to
a real show and forced small boys
to take to trees and telephone
posts for safety and not for a
better view last week.
The doors of the cattle car, one
of 126 which have already arriv¬
ed in the State, were opened to
allow the animals to get a breath
ot fresh air. Evidently that
breath was exhilarating, too, for
the whole herd came out for
more. They found Main Street
and turned it nto a corral. Stores
were closed for a while and no-
body dared \o venture out. After
a while, however, the cattle got
thirsty and after finding water
and drinking it, they became
more tractable and allowed them¬
selves to be driven back to the
car.
The cattle which are being sent
to Georgia from the drought-
stricken middle west will be pas
tured first, and then canned and
uistributed through relief agen¬
cies. 500,000 head in all will be
sent to the South and Georgia’s
share is to be 50,000. None of the
beef will be allowed to reach com¬
mercial channels. All of the cattle
which will be brought jn within
the next 30 days, is being lested
for tuberculosis, according to Tap
Bennett of the United States De¬
partment of Agriculture.
