PENNVILLE NEWS.
By EILEEN HALL.
The radio announcers, as we all
know, are far from infallible; and
every radio “fan” has at some time
or other heard one of these glib-ton
gued spokesmen of the air “open his
mouth,” as the old joke goes, “and
put his foot in it.” The tale reaches j
us this week, that the announcers of
a certain southern broadcasting sta- i
tion repeatedly pronounced the first
word of “Sault Saint Marie” as
“salt”—table salt—is pronounced, in
their references to news from the up-j
per Michigan, great lakes port of i
that name. So in their fan mail came
the following rythmic communica
tion:
“There are no “POTS” in “depot”,
Nor “WRENS” in “rendezvous”;
So when you say “Sault Saint Marie” |
Why not pronounce it “SUE”?
Which reminds us that not long
ago we heard an announcer (this was
not over the radio) pronounce the.
name of our president, “Franklin
Dee-lane-ee-o Roosevelt.” Can you
correct him ? And can you pronounce
the chief executive’s last name cor
rectly ?
Persimmons! So that is what the
two strangers are amongst all the
friendly oaks and hickories in the
grove! From the first, their tall slim:
trunks and their black deeply-chisel-I
ed bark set them apart from their ;
neighbors. Several months ago their |
small, creamy-white flowers bloomed
and fell to the ground. Recently the
little round green berries appeared,
grew to the size of large cherries,
turned bright orange in color, and the
fully ripe ones are now detaching
themselves from the twigs. The pulp
is sweet, and makes one wish that
the hard, flat, smooth seeds occupied
less space within the juicy berries.
We are proud to have become ac
quainted with one more old friend of
all native southerners.
We think we have discovered Penn
ville’s champion quilt-maker. The
collection of Mrs. Clay Stowe con
tains twenty or more quilts which
she herself has pieced and quilted.
The most beautiful among these is
made in the popular “double wedding
ring” pattern, the colorful pieces laid
out on a white background, with cor
ners of yellow and green. The scol
loped edges are bound with green
tape, and the quilting is done by
carefully following the pattern of
the pieced design.

wonderfully loyal friends all over
Georgia, who fought for me in the
face of many obstacles set up by the

“To those friends both Mrs. Rainey

*BY ROGERS WINTER

The Georgia Legislature when it
convenes next January will probably
ibe in session, off and on, for six
I months, investigating the acts and
! doing of the Talmadge dictatorship.
It is the fixed and resolute purpose
of the incoming administration, both ;
I legislative and executive, to comb the i
' Talmadge administration with a fine
tooth comb from start to finish.
Talmadge has been ruthless and has
given no quarter to those who dared
to oppose him, and the incoming ad
ministration will accord him no sym
pathy and no quarter. He and his en
! tire political household will be sub
jected to the most minute and search
ing scrutiny in the history of the
state.
The legislature will refuse to rati
fy his suspension of William B. Har
rison from the office of comptroller-
I general, and will refuse to ratify his
j suspension of George Hamilton from
; the office of state treasurer. Gov.
Rivers will then direct the attorney
general to bring a suit against the
! bondsmen of Carreker, Parker and
Daniel, because of their payment of
funds from the state treasury with
out legislative authority. In this con-;
nection, it is interesting to note that I
the bondsman of Daniel is John Whit-j
ley, the highway contractor, and that
the bond he made for Daniel was a
cash deposit of two hundred thou
sand dollars.
The work to be done by the incom-;
ing legislature will be the most mo
mentous and far-reaching since the
government of the state was taken
away from the carpet-baggers and
scalawags after the close of the re
construction era. The task and duty
of the legislature will be two-fold. In
the first place, to clean out and
fumigate the situation brought on by
the Talmadge dictatorship. In the
second place, to pass laws to prevent
a reptition of such a dictatorship in
the future.
Undoubtedly, the legislature will
pass a constitutional amendment en
abling future legislatures to convene
themselves in special sessions with
out the concurrence of the governor.
It is also certain that they will
bridle the existing power of the gov
ernor to suspend state officials, prob
ably by requiring- that in the event;
of such a suspension, the governor I
shall immediately submit the suspen-j
sion to the supreme court for" mime- _
diate consideration and determina-;
tion.
Gov. Talmadge’s boasted economy |
has been a false economy. He has'l
left the state highway system prac
tically without maintenance for four
years, and the result is that millions
of dollars will have to be spent to
recondition the highway system, ac
cording to the opinion of competent
; highway engineers. This example of
the false economy of the Talmadge
administration is only one of many
examples which could be cited.
Gov. Talmadge has been sowing
the wind since the day he took office
as commissioner of agriculture. He
reaped the whirlwind in the election I
last week. A few weeks ago it was ’
predicted in this column that what'
the people were going to do to Tal
madge at the ballot box would be a j
plenty, and that prediction, has come
true. No administration of the state
j in living memory has been repudiat-
I ed with such overwhelming emphasis
by the people.
The election last week was a tri
umph for decency, a triumph for law,
and a triumph for genuine democ
racy.
It will be a long time in Georgia
before another man attempts to set
himself up as a dictator, above the
law, above the constitution and above
' the people. From the day of his ap
pearance upon the political scene,
i Talmadge has been obsessed with a
’ of grandeur. It would seem;
! fairly safe and conservative to pre-;
diet that this delusion will never;
swell up inside of him again.

“To all the people of the state. I

term fully convinced that my election

during his entire term of service on
