It’s a job to find

PHILOSOPHER'
By ALFR ED ^ GS
Anger kills justice.
* • *
A quick temper ruins judgment.
* * *
Indiscretion has ruined many a reputa¬
tion.
Diplomacy often arises from lack ot
courage.
Don’t bargain With those who have
nothing to lose.
Mental idleness will destroy anyone’s
possibilities.
Vou need real courage to go forward
when you’re afraid.
—A Talmadge tidal wave is
sweeping over Georgia from the
mountains to the seaboard, ac¬
cording to Editor Ernest Camp,
of Monroe, who is associated
with the Governor’s campaign
for re-election.
“The enthusiastic throngs
w’hich greet Governor Talmadge
everywhere lie speaks and relia¬
ble reports from every county in
the state leave no doub t, of the
final result* decAjA^Mditor
Camp. stWUt»-A‘leav- m
“The effort to
age between the national and
state administrations lias met
with utter failure because the
people realize that Talmadge
lias done more than any other
Governor in the Union to pro¬
mote the objects of the New
Deal. In addition to that, many
personal friends of President
Roosevelt and men who have
stood by him since the inception
of his campaign are found in the
front line trenches holding up
the banner of Eugene Talmadge.
“The attempt to drive labor
into the camp of the opposition
has likewise fallen down, for the
1 simple reason that the great
mass of laboring people realize
that Talmadge has been the best
friem ? th O\ e Y er had in the Gov-
ernor’s chair.
“The campaign of the opposi-
tion is 90 per cent abuse, bom-
bast aad ba, %?’". continued
f
Talmadge and Pittman, but Tal-
jmadge vs. the opposition. It
just happened that Jqg^ge Pitt¬
man was the only man who
would consent to take up their
banner of displeasure and re¬
venge.
“It Governor Talmadge had
followed the line of least resist¬
ance and accomplished nothing
constructive he would have had
no opposition from the selfish
and vindictive forces arrayed
against him in this contest. But
in carrying out his promises to
the people he has incurred the
ill will of deposed office holders
and 1 special snerial interests interests and and now now
these would resort to any tactics
in an effort to encompass his de¬
feat.”

DADE COUNTY TIMES: AUGUST 16, 1934
STATEMENT OF J. E. WHITLEY
l’o the People of Georgia:
Mis-statements have appeared in the press every day for the
last two months concerning my work as a contractor in Georgia.
Of course, everybody knows these mis-statements were made
for political reasons only.
I have been in the contracting business 30 years.
I started in the paving business in Atlanta, on old Mitchell
Street, as a water boy. My next job was mixing concrete on a
board. They had no mixers in those days.
I have several hands with me right now that I used to work
with when we were employed by other contractors.
I have never had one minute’s trouble, since I have been in
the contracting business, in getting labor and in keeping my labor
satisfied.
J have always paid my labor as much or more than any other
contractor in the State of Georgia.
There are times when practically all contractors do not have
any jobs. During these times I do not let my labor scatter. I
hold them together and carry my superintendents and foremen
back to LaGrange and pay them one-half time when they are not
at work.
I have a farm in Troup County and I put my negroes on this
farm when 1 do not have a job paving a road.
I have numbers of hands with me that I have worked with
and have had working with me for 30 years.
Some of these men have passed the day when they can work.
Two of them are blind. Although these men have reached the
point where they cannot work they are still on the Whitley Con¬
struction Company’s pay roll. They are living in my houses in
LaGrange and do not pay any rent. Every week they come up
and get their pay checks, not from the relief but from John E.
Whitley.
I have paved hundreds of miles of roads in Georgia, for the
State Highway Department. I have also paved the streets of over
75 cities and towns in Georgia. 1 have done more paving in Geor¬
gia than any other contractor in the State.
The pavement I have laid in Georgia speaks for itself.
Not only do these roads speak for themselves but the
eers and two former Chairmen ot the Highway Board have said 1
did the best work of any contractor in the State of Georgia. These
statements were made by Captain J. W. Barnett and John N.
Holder.
I did not join the NRA. I did not ask for or receive any
Blue Eagle. I had no Blue Eagle to return.
1 know of hundreds of business iM^istries in Georgia that
fly the Blue Eagle. They said they wout®ibide by it and yet they
cut their employees’ pay down. If Geiger or any Federal author¬
ities doubt this statement, come to me and 1 will tell them exactly
what 1 know about it.
The enemies of Governor Talmadge have prosecuted me.
They caused the hearing to be set on November 5th, after
the State Primary.
Not being satisfied with this prosecution, these same enemies
of Governor Talmadge caused an injunction to be filed against me
and did stop me from paving roads in Georgia. They attempted
to shut down the work, stop building the roads and to lay off 700
satisfied working men.
I am the first and only contractor in America who has been
prosecuted and enjoined for violation of the NRA Code, and I
liave never joined the NRA.
It is not fair to pay forty cents an hour, of state tax money,
to common negro labor, and let white men and women work on
adjoining farms and see this and know that they are hardly mak¬
ing that much a day.
All my life I have tried to be an honest man. I have paid
my just and honest debts. I believe in treating my fellow man
right and that is all I ask of my fellow man—to treat me right.
JOHN E. WHITLEY.
