County Agent’s
Weekly Letter
The second issue of tax exemp¬
tion certificates has been received
and being delivered to farmers
this week. Farmers who have had
less than one-third of their culti
vated land in cotton during the
base period from 1928 through
1932 are receiving additional al
lotment. Also those who have re
duced their acreage during the
base period 40 percent or more
are receiving additional allot¬
ment .
partners having cetton on land
not growing cotton prior to 1934
are also receiving their allotments.
There are 87 bales of this allot¬
ment coming out of the 10 per
cent reserve and in addition to
451 bales iu the first allotment
making 538 bales for the county.
It appears now that this will take
care of the cotton in the county.
Many farmers have surplus cer¬
tificates. These may be transfered
and sold to other farmers; the
transfer being made through the
county office or through J.G. For¬
ester, County Committeeman. Tne
price of these surplus certificates
is 4c per pound.

since it is being done under a re¬
cent appropriation made by Con¬

from herds known to be free of
Bang s disease; (3) to continue
blood testing 'he animal in his
Tierd in accordance with the ac
credited Bang’s disease here plan

disinfect his promises under sup-
et vision after the removal of re¬
aders. Other piovisions in the

acting cattle or the use of abortion

ing six months prior to testing.

OBITUARY
B. C. Moore, aged 53. passed a-
way at his home on Lookout Mt.,
Rising Fawn, Ga , at 9:55 P. M.,
November 7, 1934.
He was a life-long resident of
Lookout Mountain, and most of
his life was spent, at New Salem.
For the last several years of his
life he had been a member of the
Methodist Church at New Salem,
always having a great interest in
the Sunday School work and sing¬
ing-
Having acquired in his you h
from the A. J. Showalter Music
Company and Perty Music Com
pany, a part of his life was spent
teaching gospel singing. The last
two years of ins life was patient¬
ly spent in very bad health; al¬
ways saying “the Lord’s ways
are the best”.
Just a few hours before the end
came, his t anks were expressed
to God that all was well with his
soul.
He is survived by his wife Mrs.
Katherine Moo, e; Driggj,
Norman, Terrence, Sherman and
Ktr.neth of this place, and Law¬
rence of EDijay, Ga.;two daugh¬
ters. Mrs. W. K. Logan and Eve¬
lyn Moore, both of this place; two
grandchildren; Gerald and Bobbie
Bryan Logan; five sisters, Mrs. P.
A. McKaig, Mrs. W. D. Bradford,
Mrs. W. D. Gray, Mrs. Joe Mas
sey and Mrs. J.C. Matthews; three
brothers, J. V., A. E. and L. W
Moore, all of Lookout
and a number i.eices a :d
ews.
He was a kind father, a loving
husband and an appre.ciatable
friend and brother and council to
all who knew him.
To those most, sorely bereaved,
lefeus not think of father,
husband or uncle Burt as dead,
but just entered into an
ing life, where those painful af¬
flictions such as we saw him
er in the last dt ys < f life on earlh
will be no more, but there he will
enjoy the reward for all those en¬
couraging and helpful words
were spoken, and kind deeds that
were done down here in this life
He is not dead, but gone to the
mansion that was not made with
hands or of literal material, but
with the deeds of life while here
on earth.
There will be with all who were
closely associated with him, an
ever present solace aud encourage
.■ment in the memory of his wise
council and good advice.
Let his passing on not cause us
to feel weak, but stronger and
more determined to reunite a
gain With him and tho e others
who have gone to take their place
at God’s right hand.
His body was laid to rest in the
family burying ground, the Hawk
-ins Cemetery.
Active pallbearers were:
Logan, Thomas Fulghum, R A.
McKaig, A. IL Craig, John Me

Gov. Continues m
Fire on New Deal
-- I
GNA— Continuing to attack
principles of the National Recov¬
ery Administration, which was
given an overwhelming, unpre¬
cedented vote of confidence in el¬
ection? throughout the nation last
week, Governor Eugene Talmadg*
of Georgia in several speeches ur¬
ged the abolition of the NRAand
the curtailment of activities of
the federal relief organizations.
The Governor said mat the N-
RA is opposed to the Sherman
Anti-Trust law, and pointed out
that “business cannot stand hea¬
vy taxes. Business rebels from
too much red tape and regula¬
tions”.
Criticizing the wage scale and
other policies of the relief admin-
isiration, the Governor said:
“Chanty, relief, looking after
tlie destitute and the unemploy¬
ed is a duty and be one of the
main activities of the churches.’*
“The $3,000,000 spent in Geor¬
gia in November by the federal
government will certainly cause
our churches and our charitable
organizations to think, ‘Well, may
-be there’s nothing left for us to
do.”
The Governor said t hat we do
not want too much government,
and in a statement said the gov¬
ernment penalizes the man who
works and hustles, benefiting oth
•er peop'e.
Discussing the NRA. Governor
Talmadge said:
“What has become of the Sher4
man Anti Trust Law?”
“The NR A defies every princi¬
ple of the law. The NRA not only
fixed the price of materials, but
went so tar as to fix wage scalej^
“The NRA went further than
this-they said that people
could only work a certain length
of time, whe fit r they wanted to
or not. They said in some instan¬
ces to work the employees threo
days and let them go, working
another crowd three days.
“The provisions of the N R A
did not properly recognize train¬
ing and skill on a job. It pushed
in the unskilled, and the untrain¬
ed, to receive just as much as the
ones with year? of training on the
same job. Some hodge-podge.”
Plenty More Fish
GNA—Garden rakes were all
the fishing tackle needed for a big
catch in Lake lammonia, on the
Georgia Florida line near Thorn-
a sville last week, when the waters
0 f the lake rushed out through
a s j nk bo i e j n j- ke middle of the
i ake _ Such a phenomenon is not
unusual in this section, where the
lakes mysteriously go dry, leav¬
ing fish stranded in the mud,and
then just as mysteiiously fill up
again, fish ami all, but it was the
first time in 17 years that this
particular body of water had dis¬
appeared. The draining started
3 weeks ago.
