DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
I
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776.
l A DECLARATION BY THE REPRESENT,
o o ATIVES OF THE UNITED ST A TES OF
o o AMERICA, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED .
o 9
o f
o o When, in the course of human events, it be-
3 comes comes necessary necessary for one ____ people t ______ to dissolve the
o o political bands, which have connected them with
o o another, and to assume, among the powers of the
o o earth, the separate and equal station to which the
3 of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a
l decent respect to the opinions of mankind re-
0 quires that they should declare the causes which
1 impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident :— *
a That all men are created equal; that they are »
o endowed by their Creator with certain unaliena-
0 ble rights; that among these are life, liberty, and
1 the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these
0 rights, governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of E
the governed; that, whenever any form of gov
ernment becomes destructive of these ends, it is s
the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to
institute a new government, laying its foundation
on such principles, and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, in¬
deed, will dictate, that the governments long es-
, iablished should not be changed for light and E
1 transient causes; and accordingly all experience
° hath shown that mankind are more disposed to
l suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right
| themselves by abolishing the forms to which they
3 af e accustomed. But when a long train of abuses
and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same ob-
l ject, evinces a design to reduce them under ab-
% solute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty,
l to throw off such government, and to provide new
l guards for their future security. Such has been
o the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such
o is now the necessity which constrains them to
o alter their former systems of government.

Park Director
Sees Attendance
Records Smashed
Inspired by Acting Gov.
Thompson’s lively Interest in
public recreational facilities, the
State Parks Department has been
working overtime these days to
improve existing installations.
These efforts.have borne fruit
too, according to Parks Director
Charlie Morgan, Sr., who prophe¬
sies that all existing attendance
records will be shattered before
the Summer season is over.
“One of our parks," Maj. Mor¬
gan said, referring to Vogel State
Park at Blairsville, has had to
turn down more than 2,000 re¬
quests for cabin and inn reser¬
vations, for the 4th of July week
end alone. We just didn’t have
the room.”
New swimming facilities, re¬
vision of visiting hours, lively
recreation programs which in¬
clude free square dancing ajid
free fishing are being planned
for all the parks, he declared,
just as fast as the limited fin¬
ances of the State permit.
Free fishing is already permit¬
ted at the following parks: Alex¬
ander H. Stephens Memorial
Park at Crawfordville; Crooked
River State Park at Kingsland;
Fort Mountain State Park at
Chatsworth, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt State Park at Chipley,
and Vogel State Park at Blairs-
ville.
Major Morgan invited inquiries
regarding the State’s parks to
be addressed to him at the State
Capitol, Atlanta.
Georgia Wins Tax
Suit Against Railroad
The United States Supreme
Court, by unanimous decision of
the nine Justices, upheld the
claims of the State of Geargia
against the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad for income tax pay¬
ments. The ACL claimed ex
emption of income under a state
charter granted the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad, exempting
the line from all taxes except a
nominal one-half of one percent
of the net earnings.
The case, initiated more than
three years ago by Attorney Gen¬
eral Eugene Cook, when he was
Revenue Commissioner, was ar¬
gued before the Supreme Court
by Cook and two assistants, Vic¬
tor Davidson and Claude Shaw.
The result of the decision will
be binding upon several other
rail lines, with similar charters,
and more than $1,000,000 in
back taxes will be available to
the state.
Record State Road
Building Program
Georgia faces the happy pro¬
spect of letting more than $2,
000. 000 a month in road building
contracts during the remaining
year and a half of Acting Gov.
Thompson's administration. All
of these contracts will be financ¬
ed jointly by the State and Fed¬
eral governments, and will con¬
stitute a record for the State-
This was made possible when
President Truman signed a mea¬
sure extending the deadline on
the use of 1946 funds from July
1, 1947, to July 1, 1948, and thus
provided about $3,000,000 more
In federal funds with which to
match state highway funds.
Highway Director John Beas¬
ley disclosed that 336 road pro¬
jects were already under way in
Georgia and that out of state
contractors are now beginning to
take a lively Interest in bidding
on Georgia projects. This, he
said, will have a healthy effect
on the bid of contractors within
the state, some of whom, he has
charged, may have been guilty
of "collusion" in their bidding.

T. C. Barnes New
Manager For Dyer
Mercantile Company
Mr. T. C. Barnes, well known
to citizens of Trenton, took over
his new position as manager of
Dyer Mercantile Company last
Monday. Mr. Barnes was man¬
ager of McCollum's Ready-to-
Wear store in Tullahoma, Tenn.,
before coming to Dade county
two years ago. Since then he
has been employed in Chattan¬
ooga by Miller Bros. Company,
in the men’s department. He
and his family reside in East
Trenton and were former resi¬
dents of Lamar county, Ala., 98
miles northwest of Birmingham.
School Payments
Up Fifty Percent
Although Acting Gov. Thomp¬
son’s administration is, of ne¬
cessity, one of economy, the
State of Georgia has made
school payments this year of
some $30,693,000-—more than the
entire state budget of 1936. This
was pointed out by State Audit¬
or B. E. Thrasher, Jr., as he re¬
ported that school expenditures
are now 50 per cent more than
last year and climax a steady
increase in the amount allocated
to schools since 1924.
State’s Library
Service Expanded
More than three-fourths of
Georgia’s entire population is
now provided with a public libra¬
ry service, according to the State
Department of Education which,
at a fixed cost of $150,000 a year
provides state aid for local and
county free libraries.
Only 14 of Georgia’s 159 coun¬
ties are without any form of
library service, according to Dr.
M. D. Collins, state school super¬
intendent, and local appropria¬
tions in participating areas are
steadily increasing.
Tax Study Group
Starts To Work
William M. Lester of Augusta,
former state senator and repre¬
sentative, has been named full¬
time executive secretary of the
Georgia Tax Commission, order¬
ed by the General Assembly to
work out a new, simplified tax
system for the state.
His appointment was announ¬
ced as the group met for the
second time and agreed on meth¬
ods of procedure. Naming State
Auditor B. E. Thrasher, Jr., as
chairman of a steering commit¬
tee to coordinate the work of
subcommittees, members agreed
that one of the primary object¬
ives would be to devise a new
revenue code for Georgia along
with a new tax structure. Both
will be submitted to the Legis¬
lature, which meets in 1948 for
passage into law.
