Press Advertising rates will be furnished on application GOVERNOR THOMPSON Acting Governor M. E. Thomp¬ son is speaking in LaFayette next Tuesday- For a month now he has been stumping the state and speaking over the radio. He began his campaign on the basis of his record in the governors office. We have only to look at the State Audits which are pub¬ lished four times a year in all the counties of the state, the latest of which was released and published in July 29 issue of the Dade County Times, to see what he has done. He has given the common schools more than 37 million dollars. He has spent 32 million on the building and maintaining of the highways. He has given the Welfare De¬ partment nearly 7 million for old age pensions and other benefits. He has given the Department of Public Health, the Milledgeville institutions, the Batty Tubercu¬ losis Hospital, the Department of Agriculture and other state de¬ partments and agencies more money than they ever have had in our State’s history. He has done all this without a Sales Tax- He has proved by his re¬ cord that it was not needed. However both Thompson and Talmadge are promising us a continuation of expanding State services. This brings up the question of future taxation. By his record Thompson has proved that he has sound business ability. He has started a pro¬ gram of service to the people and should be given a vote of con¬ fidence by the people in the September 8. election to continue this program. We should have confidence from his past record that future taxation will be held to a minimum and spent for our benefit. Governor Thompson is against FEPC legislation. He is against antisegregation. He is for State Rights and disapproves bloc vot¬ ing. He is for the County Unit System. One of his first acts upon taking office was to veto a bill which contained a provis¬ ion which would have destroyed the County Unit Systeem and which Herman Talmadge had signed during his tenure in the Governor’s office. In all prob¬ ability Talmadge also approves the County Unit System inspite of the fact that he signed this bill without taking time to read it. Thompson is speaking only 25 miles from us next Tuesday at 11 A M. Lets go and hear what he has to say for himself. MISS STATE OF DADE CON¬ TEST SEPTEMBER 6 We are getting so accustomed to the Bookmobile Service that perhaps we forget that it costs money for it to come to the county each month. Last year in order to raise the necessary money for this service the Dade County Library Board put on a series of contests. You remem¬ ber we had contests in five sec¬ tions of the county and the win¬ ners from these competed on Labor Day at the Dade High School for the title of Miss State of Dade. Last year the county had a lot of fun as there was a lot of riv¬ alry among the various groups, and the money was raised to have the Bookmobile come each month as usual. This year the Library Board is again sponsor¬ ing this contest—the run off of which will again be held on Labor Day, September 6th. Each community will run its individual contest. For example there will be a Miss Hooker, Miss Slygo, Miss Wildwood, Miss Mor- ganville gam and Miss New England, the the winner of whom will become Miss Miss North Dade. There will be a a Miss V. New Salem, Miss Head River, Miss West Brow the win- er of whom will become Miss kout Mountain. So it will FOR BETTER and Expanded Telephone A.

TO THE PEOPLE OF To The People of Trenton: last weeks Dade County Times, there was an article given Times by Miss Geraldine which I wish to make certain corrections to. Miss Pace came to the Sheriff and reported a man was blocking the drive way to her home, and asked the Sheriff what could be done with him. The Sheriff tried to find out about the trouble, and explain to her what could be done, and Miss Pace left in a disturbed manner. After she left, the Sheriff and myself got In the car and made a thorougl search for the man, but was unable to find him, and I want to take this occasion to say that I have never failed to make an investigation of any violation reported to me, and had Miss Pace taken time to assist in this I am sure that the guilty person would have been brought in. I have been informed that Judge Wilkins has made a remark that I have been paying more attention to getting votes than to my duty as an officer, and I want to say here, that I am not taking orders from Judge Wilkins and I am running for Sheriff without asking him, and am going to continue my efforts in that respect, but in the mean¬ time, I will try to do my duty as an officer, as long as I am an Officer.
