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

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.
Respectfully submitted,
