TALMADCE AGGRESSOR
AS HEATED CAMPAIGN
ENTERS FINAL MONTH
Pittman Hammers Away On Rooae-
velt Issue and Gilliam Rains Blows
on Both Opponents.
Atlanta—Georgia’s lusty Gover
nor's race saw two candidates swap
ping body blows during the past
few days, scorning to dc/end them
selves as they sought to Ret in a
knockout blow. The third candidate,
speaking at least twice daily, was
raining his shafts on his two op
ponents impartially. •
Governor Talmndge, moving at
last from his simple presentation of
his record, on which he has been
asking reeiection .swept into the
role of aggressor with attacks on
Major John S. Cohen, editor of the
Atlanta Journal and Democratic
National Committeeman for Geor
gia as “the sly fox behind the op
position." Referring to him as
“Jake" Cohen, he charged that Ma
jor Cohen's motive for his opposi
tion So Talmadge was the Gover
nor’s refusal tc. pardon Dick Gallog-
ly, thrill slayer.
The Governor also answered mili-
tantly Labor’s call for all workers,
organised and unorganized, to op
pose him. Emphasizing his assertion
that he was the best friend Labor
ever had, the Governor said his fight
for Labor was fundamental and
for all workers in farm, field and
shop, not for a chosen few who
could slip into choice government
jobs.
Judge Pittman, meanwhile ham
mered away on this theme: “In Geor
gia it Is Roosevelt or Talmadge. A
vote for Talmadge is a vote against
the recovery program.”
This the Governor denied vehem
ently, but Hugh Howell, chairman of
the State Democratic Executive Com
mute. went further a few days ago
branded this assertion as a
} ordinary and common lie."
V , These exchanges were typical of
yhe tempo of the campaign, now at
a fever heat. The Governor continues
his policy of not more than two ma
jor speeches a' week, and continues
to draw tremendous crowds. Judge
Pittman’s crowds are growing stead
ily. Alderman Ed A. Gilliam attacks
both his opponent.* as men dealing
only in personalities too busy slinging
mud and parrying blows to think of
a constructive olatform.

In order to preserve the best ftoh-
ing waters of the slate for the bc^t
natural sport lish. the Game and
Fish Department is urging that fish
ermen refrain from the habit of
dumping gold-fish and Baltimore
minnows into streams after they
have finished the day’s sport.
The Baltimore minnow is nothing
but a gold fish in a dress of an-
oth *r colo*\ These goldfish are
closely related to the German carp,
which was introduced into this
country and which has ruined so
many of the better fishing grounds.
When goldfish and Baltimore min
nows are taken into the fishing
grounds for bait if. they are not
all used, bring them home instead of
dumping them into streams. Thus
you are protecting the natural fish
that are there in saving them from
the goldfish. We ace not saying that
meek little goldfish will be able
whip a trout in fair fight but
that the gold fish will undoubtedly
eat trout eggs. The same applies to
the spawn of uny other sort of fish.
To have gold fish become adapted
and naturalized in the mountain
stream would be a calamity and
fishermen arc urged to keep this
from happening.
We don’t care what other means
>u u««c to dispose of these fish, but
ease do not liberate them in the
streams.

Georgia has never had a state

would establish their identity beyond

NEW SERVICE FOR GEORGIA'S
NEGLECTED CHILDREN
A new program of service for the
neglected and dependent children
of Georgia was started on June 1st.
by the # Children’s Service Society
of Georgia, with headquarters in
Macon.
The chief object of this Society is
to place children in good family
homes where they will get the indi
vidual care, affection and training
that will fit them for wholesome
community life. It has been demon
strated that even the best of institu
tions cannot compare with a good
home in giving such care.
Thrity-thrce children were in the
Georgia Industrial Home at the time
it was taken over, and so they auto
matically became wards of the Chil
dren's Service Society of Georgia.
Since becoming its wards, these
children have had thorough physical
examinations, and most of the ne
cessary medical and dental work has
been completed.
Dr. Euri Belle Bolton from G. S.
C. W. has given mental testa to ail
the children so that it is known
what intellectual development can
be Expected of each, which ones
have mechanical ability, and in
which school subjects each is ad
vanced or retarded. This informa
tion will be invaluable in selecting
homes for there children, and in
guiding their future development.
Seven Baldwin county children
were in the Georgia Industrial Home
at the time it was taken over by the
Children’s Servcie Society. One of
them has already been placed in a
splendid home; her foster mother
and father are devoted to her, and
are giving her the best of care. A
careful study is made of each fos
ter home before a child is placed in
it, and the child is supervised for-
time afterwards, so that there
is every probability of a happy ad
justment.
The homes sleccted are of three
types; adoption homes; free homes
without adoption, and homes for the
older boys and girls where they can
begin to earr their own living.
Mrs. Nan Northam is director of
the Children's Service Society and
Georgia Industrial Home. Miss Lo-
retto Chappell, who is helping her
temporarily, was recently in Mil-
ledgeville, making a study of the
family background of the seven
Baldwin county children. She pre
sented the new program to the
county commissioners, and they
voted to support it by continuing
their appropriation of $50.00 a year
for each child they place there. The
rest *f the expenses for these chil
dren has to be met from private do
nations to the Children’s Service
Society and. Georgia Industrial
Home.
