Expect Large Gain
In Freight Loadings
Atlanta, Ga., July 10.—(GPS)
—Following a prediction by O.
H. Weaver, of Griffin, Ga., gen¬
eral chairman of the Southeast
Shippers’ Advisory Board, that
the Southeast would require
many more freight cars during
the thrid quarter, official an-
aouncement was made by the 13
Shippers’ Advisory Boards con¬
firming the Georgian forecast.
Freight car loadings in the 3rd
quarter of this year in the
Southeast are expected to be a-
bout 12.6 per cent above actual
loadings in the same quarter of
1940, the announcement stated.
The comparative totals for this
section are 685,533 cars estimat¬
ed for the third quarter and 609,-
054 actual loadings for the same
1940 quarter, an estimated gain
of 76,481 cars.
Gains are expected by all thir¬
teen of the boards, whose esti¬
mate for all sections is placed at
7,272,995 cars, compared with 6,-
337,841 actual loadings in 1940’s
third quarter, an estimated in¬
crease of 935,114 cars, or 14.8
per cent.

“Georgia was included in our

ers, and I wonder if it will be
necessary to secure a passport?
And if it would be worth the

states i n expenditures per pupil

annual salary of $901 for teach¬
ers in this state contrasts with

Gold Campaign On
In Lumpkin County
ATLANTA, July 10.—Georgia’s
first “properly conducted” dia¬
mond drill campaign for gold is
underway in Lumpkin county,
Commissioner of Natural Re¬
sources, Zack D. Cravey announc¬
ed.
The project, conducted by a
West Virginia diamond drilling
company, is on the old Chestatee
mining property at Hall’s mill a
few miles south of Dahlonega.
This is about half a mile from
the Calhoun gold mine which
caused a national flurry last
year following discovery of a
bonanza pocket. It is understood
this latter property, however, is
in a state of re-organization at
present.
Captain Garland Peyton, direc¬
tor of the State Division of Mines,
Mining and Geology which is
under the Department of Natural
Resources, said reports he has re¬
ceived so far on drilling opera¬
tion at Chestatee are “encourag¬
ing.”
But he said drilling must be
done at a depth of from 500 to
600 feet before we can “cut
through the structure we believe
is there.” A diamond drill will
cut through about 30 feet per
day.
Captain Peyton said some pros¬
pecting hag been done in the past
at Chestatee but that it hasn’t
gone beyond the “shallow pit”
stage. Diamond drilling is less
expensive than mine shafting, the
method heretofore used in Geor¬
gia, but it is equally accurate
for prospecting.
Captain Peyton said samples
which have been brought to and
analyzed by the Division of
Mine s indicate ore of “pretty
fair value” is there. Only the
federal government is allowed to
purchase the precious metal, val¬
ued at $35 per troy ounce.

WPA Opens Way to
Fence Death Roads;
Cattlemen Object
Atlanta, Ga., July 10.—(GPS)
Georgia of one of her worst na¬
tional “black eyes” has presented
itself—and yet there are some
who oppose it.
The Works Projects Adminis¬
tration has opened the way for
fencing Southeast Georgia’s
bloody highways which, because
of roaming cattle, have become
known as one of the worst death
traps in the United States. WPA
Administrator Harry E. Harman,
Jr., said the WPA was “prepar-
eded and willing” to undertake
fencing between 3,000 and 5,000
miles of highway to bar traffic-
dangerous animals from the
pavement, especially in Southeast
Georgia and along the heavily
traveled routes.
County officials of that section
are said to be studying the pos¬
sibility of developing the WPA’s
proposed program. They fear,
however, the possible opposition
of cattle-owing farmers who pre¬
viously have objected to “no
fence” laws on the grounds that
they could not afford the expense
of closing in their acreage. High¬
way embankments traditionally
have been regarded as free range
by many cattle owners.
Under the plan outlined by Mr.
Harman, the WPA Would under¬
take to fence the roads, with the
counties serving as sponsors in
the same manner that other
work is handled. As a sponsor,
each county would be required
to pay not more than 25 per cent
of the total cost of the project
within its boundaries.
The proposed plan wag viewed
with especial interest in the
counties traversed by the tourist
highways—the road s which an¬
nually are traveled by thousands
of visitors through Georgia into
Florida and out again. The coas¬
tal highway north from Jackson¬
ville via Brunswick and Savan¬
nah to South Carolina is one of
them. Other heavily traveled
routes pass through Way cross,
Valdosta and Thomasville into
Florda. All run through areas
where cattle and hogs are per¬
mitted to roam freely. Many ser¬
ious accidents, resulting in deaths
and injuries, have resulted from
the uncontrolled movements of
these cattle.
Mr. Harman pointed out that
the WPA is ready to start as
soon as enough counties agree to
sponsor the program. Said he:
“We won’t have to go to Wash¬
ington for approval because it
can be a unit of the WPA’s al¬
ready existing highway project,
over a period of years, the pub¬
lic has asked protection for mo¬
torists in that section of Georgia.
This would attract national at¬
tention to Georgia, which is be¬
coming a tourist center, but
which has been harmed by un¬
favorable reports of the lack of
protection to tourists.”
WPA officials believe that, if
approved by the counties, the
project would be the first of its
kind ever undertaken by the Fed¬
eral agency. Don’t pass up this
opportunity, Mr. Georgia farmer!
It not only would greatly benefit
you, your county and your sec¬
tion, but your state as well.
Card of Thanks
We wish to thank our neigh¬
bors and friends for the kindness
shown while our son, LeRoy was
suffering from injuries received
when he was hit by an automo¬

Your help and many deeds of
kindness will always be remem¬
bered, and we appreciate them
very, very much.

Barbecue at Davis
Junior High School
Is A Great Success
Though the weather conditions
were vjery unfavorable the 4th
of July Barbecue at Davis Junior
High School was a great success.
The rainy weather, however,
did not interfere with the “bar¬
becuing” and preparing the
Brunswick stew since this was
done in a portion of the new
building which was not com¬
pleted. “Unde Doug” Thomas
looked after the barbecue, stew,
etc., and did a wonderful job.
The people of Sand Mountain
cooperated in every way possoble
to make the event a success.
Many from the valley and else¬
where attended.
The speaker for the day was
Prof. John H. Cook, state School
Supervisor, of Rome. Prof. Cook
gave a very interesting address
along the line of the progress
that has been made and the need
for special training courses in the
schools. “We must adjust our¬
selves to keep in step with the
conditions brought about by the
rapid progress,” Mr. Cook said.
Brief talks were madeb y Prof.
G. C. Austin, who was in charge
of the program? L. M. Allison,
County Supt. of Schools, and El¬
bert Forester, who presented the
speaker.
Arnold Evans and his “Sand
Mountain Ramblers” furnished
music.

Dade County Farm
Bureau Organized
Saturday Night
Along with other counties in
Georgia and states throughout
the Union, a Dade County Farm
Bureau was organized here Sat¬
urday night.
A chicken stew had been ar¬
ranged for the gathering. Quite
a number of farmers and others
who were interested attended.
After everyone had eaten his
bounteous portion of the stew,
the meeting wa s held in the gym¬
nasium. Interesting talks on the
need for organization of fanners
were made by Farm Agent O.G.
Ariail, L. M. Allison, who pre¬
sided over the meeting; Elbert
Forester, L. L. McCurdy, Tom
Williams, and J. M. Carroll. The
talks were timely.
The purpose of the organiza¬
tion, of course, is to bring about
unity in the work, buying and
selling of the fanners of the
county. Similar groups are being
organized in practically every
county in Georgia and other
States in the Union.
A membership fee of $3.00 is
charged. One dollar of this a-
mount stays in the county, one
goe s to state headquarters and
the other to the National Bureau
in Washington.
Quite a bit of interest was
shown in the meeting and it is
hoped that many others will
join at an early date. As em¬
phasized by those speaking on
the subject, it is very imperative
that the farmers organize them¬
selves in order that they may
receive a respectable price for
the produce they have for mar¬
ket. Such an organization will
also be of a great advantage in
their buying.
The next meetng off the group
will be Saturday night, July 19,
at Trenton. At this meeting the
officers of the Bureau will be
elected.

joining to date:

MID-WEST OF NATION
IS FOR INTERVENTION
DES MOINES, June 00
(Special)—Jasper Co., Iowa,
is apparently overwhelming¬
ly for stronger U. S. action
against Fascist aggression,
according to word received at
local" headquarters of the
Fight for Freedom Commit¬
tee.
A reporter for the Des
Moines Tribune, who ques¬
tioned 16 Jasper Co. resi¬
dents, mostly farmers, chosen
at random, found that the
usual reply to the question, United
“How far should the
States go in aiding Grea*
Britain?” was like that of
Charley Shepley, 39, farmer:
“If we’re going to get into
this horrible war, I think we
should do so while they’re
fighting over there and not
wait for them to come over
here.”
According to the Rt. Rev.
Henry Wise Hobson, Bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal Ohio
Diocese of Southern
and chairman of the Fight
for Freedom Committee, with
headqaurters at New York,
"Jasper County is typical of
parts of the country which
the isolationists have claimed
as their ‘strongholds.’"
