9b air 9 mint}} iwtrs Dade County's Only Newspaper. BIT ’0 BULL »y BROWNY Two booming candidates the Democratic nomination come from neighboring states — and Tennesseee. There are many similarities between these two Southern states. There are practically no si¬ milarities between the candi¬ dates each is offering. In Georgia, we have a man— Richard B. Russell. In Tennessee, you have a mouthpiece—Estes Kefauver. In Georgia we have a man who stands for principles. In Tennessee you have a mouthpiece who adopts the principle which most conve¬ niently means votes at that time. In Georgia we have a man who stands for principles, be¬ lieves in the American way and is capable of leading the na¬ tion out of its vacuum of posi¬ tive leadership. In Tennessee you have a mouthpiece who has no prin¬ ciples, and is perfectly fied with the present muddle of pinks in government, scan¬ dals, corrupt and traitorous of¬ ficials. He recently said, “In general, I am in agreement with President Truman.’’ In Georgia we have a man who has stated nationally that he could not bring himself to support party above country. He is a statesman. In Tennessee, you have a mouthpiece who puts himself above partjri and party above country. He is a stooge. In Georgia, we have a man whp associates with, Americans like George, of Georgia, Byrnes, of Soutfy Carolina, ,?md Byrd, of Virgin^.', .We, have a man ’ listens who to no pressure group eipytat'il&T con¬ science and that of the best mt&^stj of the . American peo- ^ .frwlooj a " * ■ jln^Teppps^ee you- have a mouthpiece ?i who associates with) tpp, psocialjstic antirsouth- ernq crowp .,/such, as Hubeyt Humphrey* wWppose fanatical speech caused the • - South’s wfihsput, ,o£ >^the convention in liMgjjt^rahariv and Pepper. You hay# a -mouthpiece who caters to.iefh-wing.-pressure groups, Russell has a record of pub¬ lic serWtefe of'which every bit is a tribute and of r which any man could be proud. His vot¬ ing record cannot be attacked for any lack of consistency or any un-American tendencies. Kefauver, however, is a horse of a different color. One of his home town newspaper, the Hamilton County Herald (Chattanooga), had this to say about him: “He (Kefauver) had come to the conclusion, after looking the over, that the socialistic ele¬ ment was going to be In con¬ trol for a long, long gang surrounding Truman and he figured that his politi¬ cal fortune lay with that crowd. He became at once one of its most willing tools.” The Herald continued: “He inaugurated his obeisance the new alliance by refusing join the Southern filibuster found necessary to save the South from Truman’s vengeful PEPC program. He voted against the anti-communist measure, along with six other senators who were fellow-tra¬ veling with the Truman cote¬ rie. He Joined up with those who were seeking to destroy the Taft-Hartley act. He be¬ came hipped on a notion of an Atlantic Union • some sort of a bleary for, subjecting this country to another super-government.” Russell is a credit to Geor¬ gia, the South, the Nation. Kefauver is neither a to Tennessee, nor the South. HOME DEMONSTRATION COUNCIL There will be a meeting fhe Dade Home Demonstration °°uncil Monday, March 24, rile courthouse at 2:00 P. M.

Superior Court Convenes for Two Weeks; Civil Cases First PEOPLE FILL COURTHOUSE FULL Court time is mighty conve¬ nient for a lot of other things than just watching the lawyers argue. It's a good time to see people you haven’a seen in a leng spell and to chat and spin the breeze. Seems like most everyone in the county is in Trenton around the square this week. The corridors of the couthouse are as full as paymaster’s room on pay day. People stand in'g, sitting, talking, looking, listening, shuffling around, and all sorts of things. Some use it as a time to col¬ lect old bills or pay them. Some just gripe, like Larkin Blake who told some men that he went into the Busy Bee and or¬ dered a T-bone steak one day this week at noon. He sat on a stool, he says, and every seat in the place was taken up except • ^^^5^ and ^ there were plenty of them— he con¬ tinued, kept coming in but in¬ stead of coming over and sit¬ ting down, next to him,, they spotted that T-bone steak and ordered hamburgers and ate them standing up rather than risk paying for it. Court itself gets humorous son^thpes. Wing One elderly man was tried on a charge of Whig, drunk. He told Judge McClure that in his 59 years he had never before been in court. .‘'■Well, I just wish you weren't herd right now,” said the judge sternly. The man shook his gray head and replied, “Shucks,” judge, I wish I wasn’t either.” Criminal court begins next j Monday so" it’s only half way I through. for Dade lo State eiuipment. |n o r t h Dade Elementary Sfehool: New cafeteria and eqiupment, two additional class rnoms, .library, wardrobe and storage lockers, and general repairs.

JUDGE McCLURE CHARGES GRAND JURY Judge Freeman S. McClure convened the March Term of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit in Dade County at p:1 ° A M - Monday morning, March 17. The courtroom was P acked with a number of per- som standing in the rear of the room, The Grand Jury was drawn and sent downstairs to select its officers. J. Granville Pace was selected Foreman of the Grand Jury. W. Dudley Cure- ton was selected Clerk of the Grand Jury and Jim A. Jen¬ kins was selected Bailiff. Three juries were drawn from the first list of Traverse Jurors. These juries will hear cases from the civil docket this week only. Next Monday the second list of Traverse Jurors will make up juries to hear cases from the criminal docket. CHARGE TO JURY Judge McClure presented his charge to the Grand Jury. He reminded the jurors of their civic duties. He also mentioned the fact that the past two Grand. Juries have made re¬ commendations concerning a juvenile court and added that all felonies, regardless of who commits them, are under t,he jurisdiction of his court. He also said that he is eligi- bli) Mrw m Ju[lge oL a Ju . Venile court and would do so withoutj pay, as set up by the Jegiglatufe. Judge McClure also told fche'l ,Grahd Jury that it is the duty of feach Grand Jury to investi¬ gate every hospital, college, sanitarium or'similar institu¬ tions at each term. The name of this judicial cir¬ cuit, he added, was errou- Ijudicial neously set up as the Lookout Circuit but should be [the Lookout Mountain Judicial ircuit Court. Court was opened with a prayer, delivered by Gus Fdr- ester. Speech by Crawford After the juries were drawn, Judge McClure invited Ser¬ geant-Major R. L. Crawford, ’of the State Department of Public Safety, to address the court on the subject of public safety on public highways. Sergeant Crawford reviewed the history of the State High¬ way Patrol since its founding in 1936. He pleaded that all citizens must be conscious of traffic laws to decrease accidents and fatalities. He said that courte¬ sy in driving would eliminate many of the accidents. Speed¬ ing, he continued, is the chief contribution to accidents but drinking drivers are rapidly pushing to the front. One out of every 45 cars in Georgia was involved in an accident last year, he said. Fire On Lookout Burns Thursday Another forest fire struck Thursday evening on the side of Lookout Mountain opposite Wildwood. It started at the foot of the mountain and burned upward through the night. Ranger Jerry Pace and a ranger from Walker County attempted to get to the fire in the evening but could not get across Lookout Creek in the -darkness. They waited until dawn then descended upon the fire from the top of the moun¬ tain and subdued it in about four hours. NUMBER II
