TOMORROW? I
ISUNJ
BY J. C. WILSON
Newspaper Features, Inc,
Now that the amendments have
been carried overwhelmingly we sin
cerely hope that all things promised
by the politicians will come to pass.
We should forget politics, get down
to business and let Georgia blossom
into a prosperous and happy com
monwealth and gain its place in the
sun that it deserves.
Mining Booms Again.
Georgia mining is stepping out in
to boom time proportions as nation
al industries call on Georgia mines
to furnish minerals for new manu
facturing uses, according to Richard
W. Smith, acting director of the di
vision of mines, mining and geology
of the state department of natural
resources, who reports that mining
enterprises in Twiggs, Wilkinson and
Washington counties have stepped up
production until it is now the heavi
est in years.
The greatest reduction has been de
veloped in the production of soft
manganiferous iron ore, containing 5
to 10 per cent, manganese, he re
ported. A new process of steel man
ufacturing in the Birmingham steel
plants has been developed with this
ore, which formerly was considered
worthless. Now it is valuable in steel
production and is being mined ex
tensively, it is said.
Another Georgia ore coming into
prominence is barite, the “heavy
work” mineral of barium sulphate,
used as a filler in paints and rubber.
Barite also is used for a “weighing”
material for oil drilling in high gas
pressure areas.
Georgia produces about 60 per cent,
of the kaolin of the United States,
for her major mineral crop. Kaolin
is used in pottery manufacturing and
as a filler for high-grade enamel pa
pers. A further use for it which will
increase production is seen in the de
velopment of the paper making indus
try in Georgia.
Protection of individual liberty is
one of the paramount problems of our
day. It is a cornerstone of our Amer
ican democracy and must be guarded
with the utmost vigilance if it is to
be preserved unblemished as a heri
tage of the American people. There
are many blocs and cliques in govern
ment and in political groups which are
forever battering at that liberty and
ONLY ALERT PATRIOTISM AND
STATESMANSHIP CAN PROTECT
OUR GOVERNMENT.
The senior senator from Georgia,
the Hon. Walter F. George, in Geor
gia a few days ago to address the
Atlanta Pilot club and the graduat
ing class of Mercer university at Ma
con, sounded a warning against this
danger. Although he predicted more
social legislation and more laws reg
ulating business and commerce, he
declared that he believes REASON
ABLE SECURITY CAN COME IN
AMERICA WITHOUT CUTTING
TOO DEEPLY INTO THE FREE
DOM OF THE INDIVIDUAL CITI
ZEN.
However, if individual rights are
forgotten in the concentration of
governmental powers western civili
zation undoubtedly will experience a
change—perhaps a very profound
change. Senator George told the
graduates.
“The question is whether it is nec
essary or desirable to surrender more
freedom of the individual to enjoy
what we now think of as economic se
curity. The choice already has been
onade in Russia, in Italy and in Ger
many and is being made in Spain.
That involves the surrender of more
and more individual liberties and the
concentration of more and more pow
er in government. Is this going to
happen in America? I hasten to say
to you that I don’t think it is.”

Table Mountain
Table mountain, a vast mauve

brilliant blue, generally is the first
landmark sighted by the traveler
who approaches South Africa by
water. So completely do its colos

that the Table appears at first sight
as an ocean-girt land.

I’ve just received my paper from
the old home-town. It’s full of news
of this and that that happens all
around and tells us folks that Mr.
Jones has visited Mrs. Hatch and that
Ben Brown went fishing and had a
lovely catch. That Parson Smith will
preach next w r eek down in his usual
church. That the old sawmill up on
the hill will buy some pine and
birch. That Uncle Tom has pigs for
sale and Miss Lucy has a cow. We
could maybe get along without this,
but I just can’t tell you how we could
manage week by week without these
solemn facts, to keep us fresh and
posted on legislative acts, and tell us
when ’tis time to plow and plant and
sow and reap, or keep the teiks from
off our cows, or dogs from killing
sheep, or what will hush the baby’s
cry and make it laugh and coo. If it
were not for weekly papers I don’t
know what we’d do. Why, look right
there in column five, you’ll find it
without fail, that Mrs. White has
cabbage plants and onion sets for
sale. That neighbor Hicks is almost
well from his most recent stroke; that
Mary Brown has planned to wed some
lucky city dope; that Bill’s Hardware
has some new plows and also lots of
hoes; that crimson clover makes good
feed, and beans grow best in rows;
that school is out at Sandy Hill, and
court will set next week and Pa is on
the jury and so is Bud from Rocky
Creek; that Jimmy Johns is up again
for being drunk in town; that the
sheriff caught a man last w~ok and
cut a still right down. That brother
Tim is out on bail and flour of ths
best may be bought for less right on
the square, along with all the rest
of groceries great and drygoods small
and shoes and hats and sox, and the
drugstore has fresh sandwiches and a
brand new line of clocks, and Dr. Pain
will pull your teeth and make a hand
some plate or mind your baby while
you shop or keep a previous date with
your favorite beauty parlor for a
shampoo and a set to make you look

THEY SAY.
(By Hubert Dodd.)
‘‘These hard unkept hands we
thrust among heartstrings.”
That statement may be a quotation
from some book or poem, but it came
to me directly from the lips of a man.
Did you ever hear a person boast
ing about how frank and outspoken
he is? I have; and maybe I’m guil
ty myself. You see, grandness and
outspokenness are very fine traits of
character; but even a virtue seems
capable of running into a vice if
persisted in to the extreme end. Too
much sweet may result in something
as bad as bitter.
If I claim the privilege of playing
these hands of mirte among heart
strings, I must also recognize my ob
ligation to keep them smooth and
tender, well-trained and under due
restraint.
Only a person who is selfish will
use his tongue for his own exhaust
and relief. He who would use his
tongue for others’ good and happi
ness as well as for his own must re
gard the sensibilities of others.
Hands are so symbolical anyway.
From ancient times there have been
those who sought to tell one’s char
acter and fortune by reading the
palm.
In life, hands are classified into
three categories. We have enemy
hands, or warm hands, or praying
hands. It was an enemy hand that
betrayed our Lord. Enemy hands
struck Him in the face, platted a
crown of thorns and pressed it upon
His brow, and drove cruel nails thru
His hands and feet. Look at these
hands! Are they enemy hands, rais
ed against humanity ?
When Christ was in the palace of
the High Priest under trial, one of
His disciples—it was Peter—thought
it was very cold and stood outside
and warmed himself. His hands were
cold and he sought to warm them
while the Crisis of the centuries was
taking place! People today are seek
ing warm hands, luxury, ease and
comfort, while the battle between
Christ and the Evil is raging. Look
at these hands! Do they seek warmth
and convenience when there’s so much
for them to do?
“Praying Hands,” by Albrecht Du
rer, ,is a masterpiece of art which
illustrates the truth that the world
must be lifted up by hands that are
lifted in prayer and reinforced by a
life of toil and sacrifice and loving
service. These “praying hands” are
those of a friend who worked at me
nial labor to support Durer while he
studied art. After Durer became an
artist, his friend wished also to study
art. Durer would support him. But,

teller and learn your fate. Why, all
of this and hundreds more of inter- (
esting bits of news are things that :
make our lives worth while and keep
away the blues when we can turn
to page four or five and look right at
the top and find what’s on the radio
or what made cotton drop and what
congress thinks of war, or what the
nation’s chief has had to say in the
past week about some fresh relief,
and when we’ll get our rental checks ;
or what the government man has said
about our cover crops or soil conserv
ing plan. Why folks we never stop to j
think what a terrible plight we’d see
if our little weeekly paper should
suddenly cease to be and fail to print
for us these things to help us ’long
our way and tell us of new .wrinkles
that happen day by day or who’s up
for election and why he’s qualified
or who has a new baby and what old
friend has died. It’s just a weekly
paper, sans glory and sans fame and
compared with New York papers, it
may look a little lame; but it’s our
own county paper, our hometown fire
side chat that tells us things big pa
pers miss and never do get at, and it j
is worth supporting with subscrip
tions and with ads, for it has been
our father’s friend since they were \
mere lads. It told of mother’s wed
ding and it chronicled our birth, and
we should now be loyal and pull for
all we’re worth for our little home
town weekly and the things for which
it stands—a-lboosting local merchants
and the products of our lands and
help to keep it going and growing
day by day, and everyone work to
gether for prosperity all the way.

use a paint brush skillfully. The
young man was disappointed in his
own dreams, but he had hands—
blessed hands—that had lifted some
one else upward. Durer immortalized
those hands that had raised him by
painting them lifted in the posture
of prayer. Look at these hands! Are
they serving hands, strengthened by
a heart of prayer?

Aerial Mapping To Be
Used This Year In 89
Counties Os Georgia
The agricultural adjustment admin
istration this year plans to use aerial
mapping of farm land in eighty-nine i
counties of Georgia in connection with j
the 1937 conservation program. i
More than 33,000 square miles m ]
this state will be photographed from ~
airplanes, after wh.ch the photo- ,
graphs will be enlarged to a speciti- i
ed scale. In addition to being more ,
accurate and considerably cheaper, j
aerial mapping will provide a record ,
that can be used from year to year j
for a large number of farms, thus ,
eliminating the expense and delay in- j
cident to measuring these farms ev- i
■sry year, AAA officials say. ,
Farmei'S generally have been en- i
thusiastic over aerial mapping, re- (
ports indicate, because this method -
virtually eliminates errors that may ,
not have been caught by previous j
measurements. '
Contracts have already been let toi
work in fifty-four counties and this
area is now being flown. This is true
for the following counties: Baldwin,
Bartow, Ben Hill, Bleckley, Bulloch,
Candler, Carroll, Catoosa, Chattooga,
Cobb, Coffee. Coweta, Crisp, Dodge,
Dooley, Douglas, Emanuel, Fayette,
Floyd, Forsyth, Glascock, Gordon,
Hancock, Haralson, Heard, Houston,
Irwin, Jefferson, Johnson, Lamar,
Laurens, Macon, Meriwether, Mont
gomery, Paulding, Peach, Pike, Polk,
Pulaski, Schley, Spalding, Sumter,
Taylor, Telfair, Tift, Treutlen, Troup,
Turner, Twiggs, Walker, Washington,
Wheeler, Wilcox and Worth. Those
counties have a total area of 19,830
square miles.
