Prevent Dual Pott-Primary Wrangle
■Some time around the middle of
March the State Executive Commit
tee as a whole wiii be called to meet
for the purpose of framing the rules
and regulations to govern the pri
mary this summer. Accepting the in
formation on which this statement
is made to be correct, the indication
is that the matter of making rules
and regulations will not be left mere
ly to a small portion of the whole
committee, which is right. So far as
has been learned to date, there
seems to be no movement to make
any material changes in the existing
rules but possibly, ft might be a good
thing. If some change could be made
in the matter of disposing of con
tests following the primary, if there
any, which would obviate dual
action thereon. Under past eustonf a
sub-committee of the body in office
during the entire period of the cam
paign and at th? time of the primary
hears contests and makes reports;
then there usually ia a successful
effort made to take those ■matters
into the convention which is com
posed later, and thresh over the same
ground again. Freqcently the find'ng
of the original sub-committee is up
set and a different verdict comes.
One of two things ought to pre
vail: either there should be no sub
committee to hear contests from the
existing state committee, or else the
matter should pe finally deposed of
by the sub-committee. That course,
though it •might iind objection for
partisanship reasons, would serve to
keep from clogging up the conven
tion proper with much stuff that is
purely local In its nature.
Not “Bohtnd Tho Seono*”
Since the resignation of Mr.
Hughes Spalding, of Atlanta, os a
member of the Board of Control of
the University system, several in
quiries have come in asking “what
the real reason for it”. In places
there has been some disposition to
read into the incident deferences of
opinion or politics. So far as can be
found there was neither. Mr. Spald-
jirig's father has spent the greater
part of a long and useful life build
ing up an outstanding law business.
*on is h : s logical successor to
carry on that business. The duties
of chairman of the Board of Control
have been exacting of Hughes Spald
ing more thne than he has been able
to give, in his patriotic service, to
his own legal business, and, natural
ly, a cond’tion like that could not
satisfactorily go on.
What appears to be well founded
Intmin Fanning Seen
The Southern states are preparing
to go in for some of the inost inten
sive farming this year this section
of the country has ever seen,
fertiliser statistics are to be taken
an indication. Fertilizer tag sales in
January, preparatory for February
shipments, as compiled by the N. F.
A. from departments of agriculture,
show there 10 states are about to
take just <bout double the fertilizer
they did in 1933; in other words, the
percentage of tonnage at this time
is just 175 per cent of the tonnage
of this time last year. Virginia's per
centage compared with last year is
184; North Carolina 185; South
Carolina 261; Georgia 426; Florida
86 Alabama 170; Mississippi 116;
Tennessee 62; Arkansas 476; Louisi
ana 162; Texas 93; Oklahoma 107.
The average percentage on the basis
of comparison with the same month
last year for the South is 175, or
three-fourths more fertilizer than a
year ago. It will be noted there are
two interesting features in these fig
ures; first, that in all the South only
Florida, Tennessee and Texas indicate
less tonnage than last year at this
time; second, that the tobacco pro
ducing states are evidently going in
for heavy fertilization. And prospects
are that all th ; s is to be done on re
duced acreage for the respective
Non-Participating Critic*
Up in Ccdartown the last of the
week Hugh Howell, chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee. delivered an address to n joint
meeting of the Exchange and Ki-
wani« Club* in wh : rh he used this ex
pression! “No citizen in the state has
the individual right to criticise his
or her government unless that citi
zen partic'pates in the selection of
the government. If I were a school
superintendent I’d require every one
of *mv teachers to register and vote.
$vote according to the dictates of
each individual conscience, but vote.
If I were the head of a business em
ploying people, or running an enter
prise, I would require every em
ployee of age to register and vote;
vote each as he or she secs fit, but
■vote. If we do not part : cipate in gov
ernment by the exercise of the fran-
chf«e given us, those who do not are
filling in their duty as good citi-
xens."
Mr. Howell* talk was a party
argument^ not a factional one, and
carries a great deal worthy of seri
ous consideration. That is borne out
when one takes the Georgia popula
tion figures, selecting and totaling
information is that the resignation
came wholly and entirely because of
the fact that the lav business, in
j which he is a partner, needed all his
time.
I Senate Support for Tolmodgo
I don't need to plead any cause
I for an against the Talma Ige admin
istration. But, facts are known when
they are seen. A size up of the pros
pective races for the state senate, so
far as it can be made at this thne.
indicates conclusively, as it will to
anybody who cared to g 0 to the
trouble to compile it, that the pres
ent administration will have full sup
port in the next state senate to the
extent of at least 89 out of the 51
members; and hat is based on infor
mation which does not include six of
the 51 districts.
In formation on the outlook for
seat* in the House of Representa
tives is not as complete, but present
indications are that the status of the
next House is going to be just about
the same as at the last regular ses
sion.
From the general trend of politi
cal events at this thne, a forecast is
that state politics will begin to take
activity between the First and
middle of April. The fact that it is
off-year in county politics will
slow thing* down somewhat, but un
usual economic and political condi
tions seetou to be centering more
county attention than usual on state
politics, and that is as it Aould be.
And there will be enough this year
to make everything interesting.
May the best man and the right
in win In every place.
