UNCLE DAN’S
CORNER
11 has been a long time since
\ou have had to put up with
this. Well, I've just got to say
something or blow up.
Well, the NRA Blue Eagle is
supposed to he dead. I t was
drawn and quartered by the
Soup-tureen Court of the U.-
g. After a close post-mortem
we find that it died because of
it's claws, (clause). The in-
durtries really wanted the bird
but without its labor claws—
( 7 A). Wall Street wanted the
court to cut off its claws and
someone jerked the bird when
the axe fell and its head was
cut off- We don’t think it
will die from the blow hut will
lose its color to a certain ex¬
tent. I
We don’t believe the Consti¬
tution of the U.S. should he
changed to suit every clique or
clan or do we think that will
he done, but if it is to he flex-
able it should he made toj
stretch both ways. Let the
masses get as much pull out'
of it as Wall Street gets. The
Constitution should be guard¬
ed by all American citizens and
should not he mutilated in
any way. Still, it should not
stand in the way of hungry
people.
Where have you heard this
before: “If you elect me I will
pay every cent the stale owes
and not raise your taxes a
dime”. It seems to me that
it is time for the author of this
bright remark was showing a
bit of knee-action at home in¬
stead of trying to run the Fed¬
eral Government.
The school teacher would he
better satisfied to have this
done. They then could de¬
pend on Georgia for their pay
instead of the Federal Relief
Fund which is being lambast¬
ed so much.
We have been trying to find
out why the process tax is so
unpopular with a certain
crowd. We can’t gee where the
raise in the price of overalls
8 c would effect the industries,
as the price is paid by the wear
er and I haven’t seen any of
them wearing overalls. The
only difference we can find in
the process tax and an excess
profit is that the process tax
goes to the farmer and gels in
circulation and the excess pro
bt goes directly to the coffers
of the rich and out
tion and is much higher than
tbe process tax. They are both
paid by the consumer. We
can't conceive a better way
*0 w h i eh t o pul money
into circulation than to put it
hi the working man’s pocket.
I here are 40,000,000 industrial
Workers in the U. S. and to
r aise their wages $ 1 . a day, 5
days a week, 4 weeks a month,
would put $800,000,000 in cir¬
culation and there would he no
cause for a relief fund.
•f I get this printed I may
bust loose and tell you a lot
•nore soon. 1 have lots to say
but can't get it in printable
L>rni at the present time.

TRENTON, DADE COUNTY, GEORGI V, THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1935.
Foreign Wines
Barred Under
Geor gia Rule:
Regulations which attempt
to establish an embargo on all
wines save those produced in
Georgia from Georgia products
has revised Governor Talmad-
ge’s approval after their sub¬
mission by Commissioner of
Agriculture Tom Linder.
Who is to enforce the em¬
bargo ami how, remained un¬
explained. Commissioner Lin
-der. w hom the wine act places
in control of the industry in
this slate, said several days a-
go it was not within his juris¬
diction to enforce the act by
making eases against wine
dealers. He said he thought
this was a responsibility of lo¬
cal an thorilies.
Vi hetlier county law r enforce¬
ment agencies here would at¬
tempt to interfere with sale of
wine from other states, which
is generally in Atlanta, re¬
mained t o be seen.
Governor I'almadgc said he
approved the regulations sub¬
mitted by Mr. Linder on the
strength of an opinion of the
attorney general that nothing
but Georgia wine was legal In
this state.
Mr. Yeoman’s opinion did
not touch on the const it ui ion-
aloty of the law, but was mere
ly an interpretation of the act
which modified Georgia’s old
“drv-bone” slatute.
Atlanta, after 28 years of re¬
lying principally upon corn li¬
quor for its alcoholic stimulus*
is going strong for wine, espe¬
cially the varieties, with many
stores now selling the fermen
ted juice of the grape and the
number is increasing daily.
It is generally conceited by au¬
thorities on constitulionol law
cannot prevent the importa¬
tion of wine from other states
and dealers are taking advan¬
tage of it to put in liberal stocks
of wine.
Commercial Rate
For Power is Cut
The Georgia Public Serviei
Commission has ordered re¬
ductions in commercial rate . 4
of the Georgia Pow er Company

of I he company approximate!}
$400,000 annually on the basi
of recent consumption.
The reductions range from <
cents per month for the small
-er customers to $6.83 pet
month for the larger ones,
such as Atlanta department
stores.
The reduced rates become
j e ff ect j vc nll June 15 and will

“This reduction puts Geor-
gj a OM a parity with the low-
esl ra tc for commercial pur-
poses enjoyed by any state
! eas( 0 f the Rocky Mountains”
Chairman Jud P. Wilhoil said.
This reduction affects only
customers of the Georgia Rov ¬
er Company, the larges public
utility in tbe state, but the
commission is also working
on lh«- rates of the Georgia
Power and Light Company, of
Valdosta, and the Savannah
Electric Company, and other
larger utilities selling electric¬
ity in Georgia.

Sudan Grass Is
Recommended For
Summer Feeding
For (he past several years a
few Georgia dairy farmers
have used Sudan grass as a
purl of their summer feed sup
.ply. Frank W. Filch, exten¬
sion dairyman of the College
of Agrieul t ure, says, and in al¬
most every ease they have been
pleased with the results. Every
one with livestock to feed will
find that it can occupy an im¬
port place in the feed progi rm.
Here are some faels about
*
t his crop:
Sudan grass belongs to the
sorghum family. It is a warm
weaI her plant.
It can he used as a summer
grazing crop, as a hay crop, or
both.
It can he seeded in 2 to 3
rows or broadcast, after
ground has been well prepar¬
The rate o * r seeding re< om-
mended is 8 to It) pounds in
rows, or 20 to 30 pounds broad¬
to the acre. The heavier
will give much more
grazing.
It is a fairly rank grower
and fertile land will produce
best results. Moderate ferti¬
lization will pay.
If maybe seeded after the
"rain crop is cu I.
With ample moisture it can
be grazed 6 or 7 weeks
planting.
It has been found to he
bout the best dry
grazing crop.
Experiments in Tennessee
found 1 i equal to the best leg¬
ume and blue grass pasture in
milk production.
Sudan grass will furnish sin
-culent food in summer mon¬
ths and cut the cost of pro-
dining milk.
One large dairyman in Geor
gia last year sowed 4,000 lbs.,
of sudan grass seed for his
herd of 100 cows. He ami oth¬
ers sav they could hardly do
with ou l it.
Farmers’ Bulletin 1126 -Su¬
dan Grass- gives full informa¬
tion on this plant and it can
be obtained at the local conn
-ly agent’s office.

for ^ h e position last year and
made a remarkable showing
1 i w i I h perhaps 1 t he certainty of
success had it not been that
Mr. Linder was closely allied
with Gov.Talmadge.
Mr. Roberts is giving serious
consideration to the suggest¬

he is kept by answering letters
from those urging him to en¬

Trenton Junior Team
Going ‘Big’ in League
Through efforts of Mr.‘Dick’
Rice and Mr. Erl Hargraves and
the courtesy of the American
Legion Junior Baseball League
of Chattanooga, Trenton has
been permitted to enter
league there; since there
no other league in
that 11 ey could join.
If they conic through the
Chattanooga league, our hoys
will get a trip to Atlanta for
State eliminations, (all expen¬
ses paid). The Atlanta win¬
ners go to New Orleans for the
i District eliminations, and the
winners at New Orleans go to
Boston for U. S. champion¬
ship.
Now, kind reader, don’t say
“it's all a dream”-instead,
gel behind the team, encou¬
rage them with your support,
attend some of the games, al¬
so, he liberal with donations
tin* old “filthy lucre.” The
hoys have no equipment
uniforms, and must have
portalion to the games, (all
which will he played at
er Park. They can play in ox-
eralls, hut they must have hats ,
halls, gloves, etc., and must
have transportation to the
games. They won’t want to
go to Atlanta and play in over¬
alls, and I don’t believe we are
going to let them. What a
trip this is going to be for the
hoys to tell their grandchild¬
ren about!
And—if you don’t believe
we are going, just take a look
at these games!

667 Are Licensed
For Sale of Beer;
3 In Dade County
I hree have thus far been
authorized in Dade County to
sell beer: Gray’s Restaurant
ol Trenton, George Gearrin’s
store at Rising Fawn and T. B.
Blake at Ga.-Ala. State Line.
I wo of these dealers reported
sales ranging from ten to six¬
teen eases during the first two
or three days after the beer
was offered for sale.
Six hundred and sixty-seven
beer licenses had been sold
through Manday by the state
revenue commission. R. E.
Matheson, in charge of col¬
lection of the license taxes,
said.
Matheson said his office was
getting “a nice response”
from letters mailed out Fri¬
day asking governing bodies of
all Georgia counties and muni
eipalities to inform the com¬
mission what steps they had
taken toward authorizing beer
permits.
The stale cannot issue beer
licenses unless sales are legal¬
ized in the governmental sub¬
division in which the appli¬
cant resides, and Matheson
said that it was necessary for
the commission to know the
status in each county and eity.
Of the licenses issued to date,
650 Ijave been to retainers, 16
to wholesalers and 1 to a brew¬
er.
Most of the applicants’ Math
-eson said, naturally are from
the larger cities of the state.
However, Savannah, second
larger Georgia eity, i s far be¬
hind Atlanta, Augusta, Macon
and Columbus in this respect.
The commissioner attributed
this to the faet that until this
week no representative of his
office had been i n Savannah
to see that all dealers were li¬
censed.
Annual beer license fees are
$1,000 for brewers, $500 for
wholesalers and $10 for retail-
ers * Since the licenses are in
ellect only until December 31,
however, the scale when sales
fi rst began last month were on
the basis of eight month, or
$ 666 . 61 , $33.1.34 and $6.67, res-
1 pectively
Beginning on June 1 , the li¬
censes cost $583.33, $219.67 and
$5.81; respectively, and on July
I. they will drop to $500, $250
and $5. If the applicants have
been selling beer since May,
the rates of that month apply.
