(By Gilreath Press Syndicate.)
ATLANTA, Sept. 5. —Georgia and the
south are marching on —to prosperity.
So says Fred H. Fury, publisher of the
Advance News in Ogdensburg, N. ¥., and
sales manager of the N.E.A. and Acme
Telephoto newspaper services. The pass
ing of the ‘‘poor” South and the preval
ent improved condition of living in Geor
gia were cited by him during a recent
visit to Atlanta.
"Southern farmers are coming out of
their lethargy and bringing with them
business prosperity,” Mr. Fury said. ‘‘Of
the more than twenty years I have been
visiting Atlanta an dthe South I find ag
riculture and business conditions in bet
ter shape now than ever before. Southern
farmers at last have decided they can
raise their own live stock rather than
import it from the west.”
UNFAIR COMPETITION
“There is no equitable competition be
tween railroads and truck lines today,"
declares the Jackson (Miss.) News. “The
railroads are rigidly regulated and heavi
ly loaded with taxes, but other forms of
transportation are not. As a result the
railroads are starving to death, while the
highways, built at the expense of tax
payers for their own use, are so clutter
ed up with big buses and trucks that
there is very little pleasure, but constant
risk of life and limb, for individuals who
travel over them.”

U.S. Government Cost
Is 1 Million Per Hour
The United States government costs
big money. According to a news item
in an Anderson, S. C., newspaper, it
is costing $1,058,029.45 per hour—
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a
week. Federal government expenditures
run :
Per day, $25,392,706.93; per hour,
$1,058,029.45; per minute, $17,633.82;
per second, $293.89.
The worst feature, however, is to be
found in the fact that during the last
fiscal year Uncle Sam spent $114.17
more every second than he took in !
COUNTiESTOLDTFCUT
COSTS OR HIKE TAXES
The Association of County Commis
sioners has advised all counties to in
crease local taxes for this year or else
reduce services within present revenue.
The advice was contained in a letter
to all commissioners and county' clerks
in the state sent by W. B. Beverly, chair
man of the board of managers.
It was timed to arrive before the
September board meetings, at which the
ad valorem rates for the coming years
are fixed.
‘.We realize,” the letter states, “that
many of you are facing acute financial
problems and in our opinion there are
only three courses open to you.” These
were listed as:
"To continue the services now being
rendered and increase tax rates.
“Reduce the services to conform with
present revenues.
“Continuation of present services with
out increasing the tax rate, permitting
the creation of a deficit to be carried
over into next year.”
The letter urged county officials
choose for themselves between the first
two alternatives, but strongly advised
against the third, pointing out that
“the natural result of such procedure
will be increased cost of operation be
cause of the necessity of selling warrants
under such conditions at a discount.”
"Since it very definitely appears to us
that there is at present no form of relief
to the counties which can safely be
counted upon either for 1939 or 1940,”
the letter states, "we urge any county
which may be considering this last
ourse (accumulating deficits to be car
ried over, to abandon same. We believe
that such a course would only postpone
and aggravate the plight of the counties.”
“If expenditures are kept within the
revenues either by abandonment of serv
ices or by increased tax rate,” it con
tinues, “the people of your county will
be made aware of the condition of the
county and they will demand of their
representatives some form of relief. Un
til the voting public is made conscious
of these problems we do not anticipate
any results from the efforts which we
j have been making to secure relief for the
counties.”
Favor a Sales Tax.
The Association of County Commis
sioners has spoken repeatedly in recent
months for enactment of a 3 per cent,
general sales tax at an extra session of
the legislature.
At a recent meeting of a sub-commit
tee of the organization, strong opposition
was voiced against any diversion of high
way funds to meet the present emergency.
It was pointed out that county losses be
cause of homestead and personal prop
erty exemptions now aggregate nearly
two million dollars. This sum is contin
ually mounting, it was contended, and
even immediate passage of a sales tax
would not provide present relief.
Several Georgia counties already have
announced increases in their 1939 ad
valorem levies.
EDYTORYAL DE LUXE
Leave it to Tom Arnold, able editor of
the North Georgia Tribune at Canton, to
dig up this homely bit of philosophy that
is as old as the hills but which will have
appeal for our generation of readers.
Here it is:
Over the hill trailed a man behind a
mule, drawing a plow. Said the man to
the mule: “Bill, you are a mule, the
son of a jackass, and I am a man, made
in the image of God. Yet, here we work,
hitched up together, year in and year out.
I often wonder if you work for me or I
for you. Verily, I think it is a partner
ship between a mule and a fool, for sure
ly I work as hard as you do, if not
harder. Plowing or cultivating, we cover
the same distance, but you do it on four
legs and I on two. I, therefore, do twice
as much work, per leg, as you do.
“Soon we’ll be preparing for a corn
crop. When the crop is harvested, I give
one-third to the land-lord, one-third goes
to you and the balance is mine. You con
sume all your portion with the exception
of the cobs, while I divide mine among
seven children, six hens, two ducks and
a banker. If we both need shoes, you
get ’em.
"Bill, you are getting the best of me
and I ask you is it fair?
“Why, you only help to plow and cul
tivate the ground, and I alone, must
cut, shuck and husk the corn, while you
look over the pasture fence and hee-haw
at me.
“All fall and most of the winter, the
whole family, from granny to the baby,
picks cotton to raise money to pay taxes,
buy a new harness and pay the interest
bn the mortgage on you. and what do
you care about the mortgage on your
touchy, ungrateful hide.
“About the only time I am your bet
ter is on election day. for I vote and you
can’t. And after election day I realize
that I was as great a jackass as your pa.
“And that ain’t all, Bill. When you
are dead, that’s supposed to be the end
of you. But me? I've still gotta go to
hell,Fulton County Review.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1939
GEORGIA TOBACCO
SALES ARE UP, BUT
PRICES ARE DOWN
ATLANTA, Sept. 5 (GPS)— Although
tobacco sales in Georgia this year show
ed an increase of 8,802.277 pounds over
1938, total income from the sales dropped
$5,837,196.16, according to figures com
piled by the state department of agricul
ture.
Sixty-five warehouses in fifteen Georgia
towns sold 101,336,208 pounds of the
golden leaf for a total of $12,981,567.79,
or an average of 12.82 cents a pound.
This was the lowest price per pound
since 1931. when the record low figure
of 8.4 was set. The low prices this sea
son was attributed to a poorer grade of
tobacco in many eases, according to many
attending the auction sales.
In 1938. a total of 92..533.931 pounds
were sold for $18,818,763.95, or 20.34
bents per pound. Peak year from a pro
duction standpoint was 1930, when Geor
gia farmers produced 104,609.000 pounds.
This year's production is the only other
year that the 100,000.000-pound mark has
been passed.
NYA To Increase Aid
To Deserving Youth
Plans for the National Youth admin
istration in this area and throughout
the entire state during the coming fiscal
year will center about increased aid to
deserving students to enable them to at
tend high school and college and an ex
pansion of resident and local work proj
ects, it was announced today by State
Administrator D. B. Lasseter.
Results of a tabulation just released
show that during the last fiscal year ap
proximately $4,000 went to Chattooga
county youth in the form of wages on
work projects, exclusive of those receiv
ing student aid. The average wage of the
young people working on local projects
and those assigned to resident projects
was $16.50. All these youth were between
the ages of 18 and 24, inclusive, out of
school and unemployed. Their need had
been certified by local authorities.
NYA projects in Georgia include con
struction of schools, community centers,
canneries, vocational buildings, recreation
facilities, repair of public buildings, cler
ical activities, and similar endeavor.
These projects are sponsored in each lo
cality by cities, counties, school districts
and other public bodies.
During the past fiscal year NYA spent
more than $906,400 for work projects in
Georgia, more than 75 per cent, of
which went to youths in the form of
wages. The remainder was used for ma
terials and supervision, which was
greatly supplemented by contributions
from project sponsors.
Youths are paid only for the number
of hours actually worked on such enter
prises. Related training, which the youth
take on their own time, includes study
of subjects related to their work experi
ence, such as scientific agriculture, auto
mechanics, radio, carpentry, masonry,
home economics, crafts, ceramics and
sowing, and supplementary study of Eng
lish, mathematics, history and citizen
ship. Recreation is likewise engaged in
on the youths’ own time.
The NYA staff devotes time to voca
tional counselling of youths and their
placement in private industry according
to their individual interests and apti
tudes. as determined through their work
on NYA pyrojects. NYA also maintains
a close relationship with the state em
ployment service in the placement of
young people in private jobs.
The NYA state office in Atlanta main
tains a vocational information service of
assistance to all agencies dealing with
young people and their adjustment to
economic life in Georgia communities.
Rev. Howard Resigns
As Pastor at Antioch
We wish to express our heartfelt grat
itude to Bro. B. H. Howard for his
faithful service rendered to our church
and community for the past six years.
He has always been faithful to our
church and community, never showing
any partiality. He was always ready to
minister to the needs of the people, both
in spiritual and physical needs.
He did not let denomination come be
tween him and any one when he could
help in any way. He was never too tired
to get up at midnight hours to help any
one in need, spiritually or physically.
He stood firm on the teachings of the
Bible —ever ready to stand for the right
and condemn the wrong.
He was a man who was loyal to his
family, looking after their needs before
going to his appointments.
Bro. Howard was loved by our church,
by our good people and other denomina
tions and also by people of our communi
ty who are not Christians.
Our church and community has been
built up and strengthened by his faith
ful service.
Now with sad hearts we express our
regrets.
Bro. Howard was called for our pas
tor to enter his seventh year. But he felt
led by the spirit of God to resign. So he
preached his farewell sermon last Sunday
and while, with sad hearts we give him
up, he will always have a warm place in
our church and our homes. And may he
be spared for many more years of faith
ful service. —New Antioch Baptist
Church: Charlie A. Floyd. Mrs. Grace
Thomas.
NEW SPEED RECORD
SET BY RAILROADS IN
SIX-MONTH PERIOD
ATLANTA, Sept. 5 (GPS).—A new
high record in the average speed of
freight trains was established by the
railroads of the United States in the first,
six months of 1939, according to a state
ment by J. J. I’elley, president of the As
sociation of American Railroads, just
made public in Atlanta. The average
speed was 64.1 per cent, higher than the
corresponding period in 1920.
During the first six months of 1939 the
average distance traveled per train per
day was 405 miles, compared with 400
miles in 1938 and 247. miles in 1920. This
represents the average time required for
the Tnovement of all freight trains be
tween terminals, including all delays en
route.
Since 1920, there has been an almost
constant increase in the average speed of
freight trains in this country, it was
said. Many freight trains operate on fixed
schedules the same as passenger trains. In
numerous instances, these schedules pro
vide for a speed equal to that formerly
maintained by many passenger trains.
This increase in the speed of freight
trains not only expedites the movement
of commodities from producer to the
markets, but it also enables industries
and merchants to poreate with smaller
inventories than would be otherwise fos
sible. it -was pointed out.

Unemployed Receive
$548.60 During Week
Unemployed workers in Chattooga
county were paid $548.60 in benefits by
the bureau of unemployment compensa
tion during the week ending Aug. 26, it
was announced by officials of the agency.
Number of payments was reported at 88.
Payments to Georgia workers amounted
to $87,798.20. represented by 13,543
checks which went into 138 counties.
Six hundred and seventeen payments
for $4,914.34 to workers in other states
who previously had established wage
credits in Georgia, swelled the total to
$92,712.54, the second highest weekly
mark since benefit-paying operations were
inaugurated by the bureau in January.
It was an increase of more than $17,-
000 over the week before, attributed by
officials to the fact that many workers
who recently became unemployed and el
igible for benefits established larger wage
credits and thereby were entitled to re
ceive large benefit* for a greater num
ber of weeks.
