URGEjPUBLICATION
OF PUBLIC SPENDING
The trial of five Clayton county com
missioners this week on charges of mi
nor misfeasance in office, has again rais
ed the question of requiring public Irndies
to publish regular statements of their ex
penditures. ■
The Clayton county trial climaxes a
series of investigations and citations of
officials throughout the state for im
proper handling of public money.
“Undoubtedly we would have no such
investigations and trials if all public of
ficials were required to publish at reg
ular intervals an accounting of their ex
penditures,” said Senator J. Roy MsGin
tj’, author of a bill during the last ses
sion which would require all cities and
counties to publish detailed listing of ex
penditures semi-annually.
“Any time a public official must list
his expenditures in the local newspaper,
you can be sure those expenditures will
be satisfactory,” Senator McGinty stated.
“No man will spend money either illegal
ly or (injudiciously if he knows that the
people will see the expenditures in print
in the newspaper.
“In addition to the protection to the
public, a law requiring publication of ex
penditures protects the office-holder.
Once he has rendered an accounting to
the public, he has done his full duty, and
lio grand jury will ever ‘call him on the
carpet’ later as to what has happened.
“The majority of other states have
laws which require local governing bod
ies to publish not only their financial
statements, but a detailed listing of each
expenditure. It has been found in those
states that the small amount of money nec
essary to cover publication costs has been
more than made up in savings through
efficient government.”
Well, there is one thing sure: If the
British sight along the Rhine like they do
in the movies, Herr Hitler won’t last
ninety days.

GOV. RIVERS TO HEAD
STATE POLIO DRIVE
Announcement was made Saturday
from New York by Keith Morgan, na
tional chairman of the committee for the
Celebration of the President’s Birthday,
that Gov. E. D. Rivers has agreed again
to serue as chairman of the “Fight Infan
tile Paralysis” campaign in Georgia.
Gov. Rivers, who is chairman of the
Georgia atate chapter, the National Foun
dation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc., also
will serve as a member of the national
executive committee directing the 1940
celebration of the president’s birthday.
Thus Georgia, known as the cradle of
the national drive against infantile pa
ralysis, again will play a leading part in
file country-wide campaign against this
scourge. Already the task of organizing
for the Georgia drive for funds has been
started by the governor and this state’s
organization plan is being sent, by the
national committee to many other states
as a help and guide in perfecting their
plans.
“I consider it a signal honor to lie ask
ed to serve again as chairman of tin
‘Fight Infantile Paralysis’ campaign in
Georgia, and pledge you my whole hearter
support in this most worthwhile under
taking,” said a message from Gov. Rivers
to Mr Morgan.
In announcing Gov. Rivers’ acceptance
as chairman Mr. Morgan said that, “XV e
who long have been identified in this
struggle to wipe out the scourge of infan
tile paralysis have a warm spot in our
hearts for the state of Georgia.
“Here the national fight against polio
began. Here at Warm Springs, the great
est polio center in the world has finally
been established.
“Georgia always has supported whole
heartedly this movement. It. is a pleasure
to visit Georgia and note the enthusiasm
of the workers who have joined with the
president against infantile paralysis.”
Georgia enjoys the distinction of hav
ing led the nation in the per capita
amount raised in the annual drives for
funds with which to combat infantile pa
ralysis. The state has escaped any seri
ous epidemics, but the need for fighting
the disease on all fronts remains great.
Up to .Oct. 28 of this year there were
6,255 cases of infantile paralysis in the
United States, as compared with 1,514 for
the corresponding period of 1938. Os this
total Georgia has had ninety-three cases,
some of which, figures show, were a spill
over from the epidemic in and around
Charleston, S. C. /
The climax of the 1940 campaign will
be reached on Tuesday, Jan. 30. Presi
dent Roosevelt’s fifty-eighth birthday.
Celebrations and parties will be held in
every county in Georgia.

REV. MORGANTOGIVE
A SPECIAL MESSAGE
The Rev. Herbert Morgan, pastor of
the South Summerville Baptist church,
will bring a special message to young peo
ple at the church Sunday night, entitled
“The Ethopian and the Leopard.”
“The Leopard’s Spots.”
Israel and Judah had wandered off into
sinful habits, after evil things, and con
cerning this, Jeremiah asked this ques
tion. “Can the Ethiopian change his skin,
or the leopard his spots?” Jere. 13:23.
The black man may try every patented
medicine in the world to make his skin
white, but his trying is in vain ; when he
gets through he is still a black man.
The leopard is an animal born with
spots. You may shave his hair to try to
do away with his spots, but when you get
through shaving him, he is still a leop
ard ; he is as spotted as ever.
When we are born into this world we
are bom in sin, and when the time comes
in our lives that we know what sin is,
and the results of sin, we become account
able to God for our sins.
Rev. Morgan s Life.
I launched out into sin at the age of
12 years; “dram-drinking.” I was able to
ead this habit for some time, it contain
ed to grow in my life. One day I eeased
to lead it, it led me. The habit of drinking
nd gambling became part of me, just
ike the skin of the Ethiopian and the
pots of the leopard.
One day I tried to get away from it,
eeing that my life was wrecked, but re
lized it had me and I could not quit it
■ithin myself. I spent money taking
reatments of all kind, but all treatments
iad failed, and I was continually grow
ig worse. I realized that my friends
ere turning their backs on me.
I had a good family and a godly wife:
she prayed for me. One day God heard
ier prayers, and I turned my back on sin
ad habits and things of this world, and
:aggered down the isle one Wednesday
tight in a little Methodist church, wreck
'd and ruined, no hope in life, no future,
ind fell upon my knees, and called upon
the name of Jesus. He came ito my heart,
and I went away from that church a man
made over.
To the Reader.
You who read this and have been over
•ome by sin, there is only one remedy, and
that is the blood of Jesus Christ.
There are many kinds of sinful habits.
We have many unregenerated people in
our churches who have tried to change
their lives; who have never had the blood
applied to their hearts. They are doing
all kinds of worldly things and trusting
in the’ church to save them. They are
holding on to the world with one hand
and trying to hold on to God with the
other. They cannot do this and go to
heaven, for there is no neutral ground in
God’s great Kingdom. Sinful habits will
take you down to devil’s hell, a place pre
pared for the devil and his angels.
Human power cannot change the black
man. nor the leopard's spots. The church
cannot save an unregenerated person.
There is only one way this can be done.
Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and
the life, no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.” John 14 :16.
"The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth
from all sin.' —1 John 1:7.
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power, and Thine alone,
Can change the leopard’s spots,
And melt the. heart of stone.
For nothing good have I,
Whereby my grace to claim,
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calvary’s Lamb.

NEWS AT A GLANCE
ABOUT STATE EVENTS
(By Gilreath Press Syndicate.)
ATLANTA, Dec. 6. —Populating Geor
gia’s uncultivated farm lands and devel
oping the state's live stock industry are
two objectives of a movement sponsored
by the Georgia Bankers’ association in
co-operation with the state agricultural
extension servire. Various phases of the
program were discussed when officials of
the two organizations gathered recently
in Athens.
Plans for standardizing the business of
lending money secured by cattle were out
lincei. Loaps- will lie made for the purpose
of finishing feeder cattle, purchasing
pure-bred parent stock, and the develop
ment of pastures, fencing pasture lands
and similar purposes. Provision for financ
ing loans also is made by the federal
housing act.
Meeting at the same time, the agricul
tural committee of the Georgia Bankers'
association took steps to secure amend
ments to the federal tenant purchase
fund, with the object of making long
term loans available to state college and
4-H club graduates and to other unmar
ried applicants of proper training and
experience, for the purchase of idle farm
lands to lie restored to cultivation. Such
loans now are available only to farm
families. There are now believed to be
more than 1,000 young farmers qualified,
except for their unmarried state, who are
eager to acquire and live on a farm of
their own.
IT WOULDN’T WORK: Countless
high school and college students who this
year are debating the question of govern
ment ownership and operation of the rail
roads recently heard Col. Robert S.
Henry, assistant to the president of the
Association of American Railroads, and
former Congressman Samuel B. Petten
gill, in a nation-wide radio hook-up, point
out what federal ownership would do to
the carriers and the governemnt. Mr.
Henry said in part: “The American rail
roads have proved, and proved up to the
hilt, that to meet transportation demands
we do not need government ownership
and operation.” Said Mr. Pettengill: “It
is obvious that if the government goes
further into debt to buy the railroads, it
must still further increase your .taxes to
pay the added interest on the added debt,
as well as new railroad operating defi
cits.”'
GIST OF THE NEWS: During Octo
ber the forty-seven insured savings and
loan associations in Georgia reported a
total of 386 loans on homes amounting
to .$668,776, compared with 259 loans
amounting to $464,769 in the same month

ALL COTTON GROWERS
MAY CAST VOTE DEC. 9
Any farmer who in 1939 produced cot
ton is eligible to vote in the cotton mar
keting quota referendum Saturday, Dec.
9, according to County Agent O. P. Daw
son.
Mr. Dawson explains that a “farmer"

tenant, a share tenant, a share cropper,
or land lord of a share tenant or share
cropper.
Each farmer will be entitled to but one
vote, even though he may have produced
cotton on more than one farm in two or
more eoirimunities, counties or states, the
agent said. Every farmer eligible to vote
must cast his ballot in person, since it
is provided that there can be no voting
by mail, by proxy, or by agent.
In case several persons, such as hus
band, wife, and children, participated
in the production of cotton in 1939 un
der the same rental agreement, cropping
agreement, or lease, only the person or
persons who signed or entered into such
agreements or leases may vote.
In case two persons engaged in the
■ production of cotton not as separate mem
bers of a partnership, but as tenants in
common or as joint tenants or as co-own
ers of a property, each person will be
eligible to vote.
The county agent also urges that every
producer vote in this election regardless
of how he may vote.

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE
NOW ON; BUY EARLY
* The opening of the Christ
mas Seal sale is announced by
Mayor Walter C. Sturdivant,
county chairman. The Sum
merville Lions club will have
charge of the sale of Seals in
* Summerville and Trion. Boy
Scout Patrol 9 will sell Seals in Sum
merville.
In Trion, the Boy Scouts will sell
Seals under the direction of T. E. Law
son.
The Christmas Seal sale committee
challenges every business man, woman
and child in Chattooga county to never
permit a letter, Christmas package, card,
I newspaper or mail from now until Christ
; mas to go out with a Christmas Seal on
it. Tuberculosis is gradually taking its
death toll while we stand by indiffer
ently.
Buy Christmas Seals now I Don’t of
fer excuses I
A brief history and function of Christ
mas Seals follows:
“Gold that buys health can never be
ill spent.”
Written by John Webster in ‘‘West
ward Ho,” this quotation is particularly
appropriate to the entire Christmas Seal
movement and its accomplishments.
A like thought must have run through
the mind of Einar Holboell, post office
official in a small Danish town, when he
first conceived the idea, in 1903, of sell
ing a special Christmas stamp, the pro
ceeds of which were to build a hospital
for tubercular children. The first Danish
seals were issued in 1904, the same year
in which was formed, in this country,
what is now the National Tuberculosis
association.
Since 1919 the seal has borne the dou
ble-barred cross adopted as his standard
by Godfrey, Duke of Lorraine and a lead
er of one of the first Crusades. Truly,
the accomplishments of these seals can
well be likened to a modern crusade
against the evils of tuberculosis. Through
■ their sale, funds have been raised, making
! possible an organized campaign to pre
vent tuberculosis.
Christmas Seal dollars, by means of
education and organiation of communi
ty forces, have l>een multiplied in every
state of the Union.
Christmas Seals finance nearly 2.000
affiliated local, state and national tuber
culosis ssociations in the United States.
There are approximately 1,200 hospitals
with more than 95,000 beds for the tu
berculous in the United States.
The annual loss from tuberculosis in
the United States is more than three
quarters of a billion dollars or six times
the estimated cost of the New York's
World fair!
Tuberculosis is no respecter of persons.
Christy Mathewson, of baseball fame;
Robert Louis Stevenson, world-beloved
writer; Joe Gans, great prize-fighter; Ce
cil Rhodes, empire builder; Chopin, Keats
the Bronte sisters and thousands of oth
ers were victims of this dread disease.
When you are asked to buy Christmas
Seals please remember that you are help
ing your neighbor in an organized way.
Seventy-five per cent, of your dollar stays
in your community, 20 pr cent, to the
state and only 5 per cent, to the nation
al organiation.
Buy Christmas Seals and use them ’
TRACTOR DRAINS POND
AND FISH COME EASY
Ranger Ernest Shaw, of Alma, this
week came up with a new type of fish
story—and six arrests.
Shaw and Ranger Charles Young made
cases aganst six Douglas persons on
charges of unlawful fishing.
The fishing, he said, was done with a
tractor, which was used to pump a lake
dry, leaving the fish to flounder in the
mud until an “army of fishermen sack
ed them.”
It was estimated that 2,000 pounds of
bass, bream and Jack were taken from
the pond on 17-Mile creek near Douglas.
“The lake was pumped completely dry
by tractor-operated pump that was cap
able of delivering 500 gallons of water
a minute,” Shaw reported. “The fish had
been removed when we got there, but
there was plenty of evidence of a slaugh
ter.”
Persons accosted claimed that the lake
had been pumped out in an effort to get
firewood from the stump® and logs there
in, Shaw said. This didn’t impress him
and Young.
AMBASSADORS
News that American Ambassadors in
several European capitals will return to
the United States for the Christmas
holidays led many observers to believe
that the President had summoned them
home for some extraordinary consolation.
White House officials, however denied
that any of the ambassadors have been
summoned home but make it perfectly
clear that the President would avail
himself of their information and opinions
regarding the trends of affairs in the
foreign countries from which they re
turn.
