Landrum Favored
To Win Again
And, speaking of Congressional
races, we have talked to a dozen
or so persons who live in the Ninth
District, and, without exlcepltion,
they say that Congressman Phil
Landrum will win as usual, and
easily. They say that Zel Miller
is a capable young man, all right,
but that Landrum has done too
much for the District for the voters
to turn their backs on him. Also,
these folks question whether the
labor boys, who don’t like Lan¬
drum, will give Miller the money
he needs to wage an all-out cam¬
paign. — Sid Williams, “Politics

The County
Machines
GOV. SANDERS’ support, and
lukewarm public endorsement by
Lt. Gov. Geer, should help repair
a bad hole in Georgia election
laws. They have both expressed
approval o-f holding state and coun¬
ty primaries on the same date.
This is a matter which the
special session of the General As¬
sembly will take up in May.
Many counties have held pri¬
maries long in advance of state
primaries. One result has been that
county organizations have then
been entrenched and ready to
throw the county one way or an¬
other when a governor’s race came
along.
In its most abused form, the off
year county primary has been held
as much as two years before the
county officials’ terms were to ex¬
pire. By thus getting their own op¬
position out of the way, they were
able to persuade candidates for
state office that they must be dealt
with because they were going to
have local power for a long time
to come.
This has helped perpetuate coun¬
ty machines, and it has helped ex¬
tend their influence in the State
Capitol.
We should end tha!t timing of
local primaries so that in each
county the people themselves will
have more to say about how the
county should go in a state election.

500 Rattlers Seized
In Oklahoma Hills
WAYNOKA, Okla. (UPI) — Hun¬
ters found 500 rattlesnakes in the
gypsum hills along the Cimmarron
River Sunday and promptly sold
most of the catch to a Chicago
restaurant owner.
The 18th annual Waynoka Rat¬
tle Snake Hunt’s backers expected
the catch /to exceed 1,000 by the
time all hunters checked in. There
was a ready market for the snakes
at 50 cents a pound. About 2,500
hunters from more than 15 states
took part in Sunday’s hunt.
Processed, the rattlesnake meat
will be sold for $1 a pound, and
the hides from 25 to 50 cents
apiece. Some of the snakes will be
used to produce venom for manu¬
facturing snakebite serum.
Red Dream -
“I dream of the hour when the
last Congressman is strangled to
death on ithe guts of the last
preacher — and since the Chris¬
tians seem to love to sing about
the blood, why not give them a
little of it — slit Ithe throats of
their children and drag them over
the mourners’ berfeh and the pul¬
pit, and allow them to drown in
their own blood; and see whether
they enjoy singing these hymns. I

PINEY WOODS
PETE Says:
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
A college expert on nutrition
says Americans provide a better
balance diet for their livestock
than they do- for themselves. Ani¬
mal feed is fortified with needed
minerals, he says, while we pay
little attention to these essential
elements in whalt we eat.
There’s a difference, of course.
The objective in feeding most live¬
stock is to produce fat fast and
cheaply .That’s not the aim of most
of us, but it does happen.
I’m reminded of Ithe disgusted
man whose wife weighed 250
pounds. She began dieting and shed
five pounds a day. He figured out
that in 50 weeks, if he could keep
her at it, he’d be rid of her com¬
pletely.
How Times Change
President James Monroe expres¬
sed in his famous message to
Congress on Dec., 1823, the Ameri¬
can policy as follows:
“We owe it, therefore, to candor
and to the amicable relations
existing between the United States
and those (European) powers to
declare that we should consider
any attempt on their part to ex¬
tend their system to any portion
of this hemisphere as dangerous
to our peace and safety. With the
existing colonies or dependencies
of any European power we have
not interfered and shall not inter¬
fere. But with the governments
who have declared their indepen¬
dence and maintained it, and whose
independence we have, on great
consideration and on just princi¬
ples, acknowledged, we could not
view any interposition for the pur¬
pose of oppressing them, or con¬
trolling in any other manner their
destiny, by any European power
in any other light than as the
manifestation of an unfriendly dis¬
position toward the United states”
Kentucky Lises
Highways for Dams
LOUISVILLE (AP) — Kentucky
is getting double duty from some
of the earth and rock fills neces¬
sary for road construction. It is
turning them into dams for small
lakes.
Highway Commissioner Henry
Ward says Kentucky is the only
state to use this plan extensively
and adds it cuts down considerably
on the size and coslt of drainage
structures for highways. The state
builds these fill dams whenever
feasible in the course or normal
construction, the commissioner
adds.
RUINED BY ADVERTISING: The
man who used to run a small
town business groaned as he de¬
clared: “Advertising ruined my
business,” he said, “I let my com¬
petitor do all of it."
