NEWS AT A GLANCE
ABOUT STATE EVENTS
(By Gilreath Press Syndicate.)
ATLANTA, Jan. 31. Nelson M.
Shipp, editor of the Columbus Ledger-En
quirer, has suggested to the Georgia gen
eral assembly that at its next session
SIOO,OOO be appropriated to advertise
Georgia to the nation that this state might
secure its due proportion of tourists dur
ing the years ahead, which he says are
going to be “very busy tourist years."
The suggestion is one that should be
backed by every editor in the state.
/Speaking on the subject, Editor Shipp
pointed out that in 1937 North Carolina
appropriated $125,000 for two years to
advertise that state and during that peri
od its tourist business increased $29,000,-
000. Tennessee and Mississippi each ap
propriated SIOO,OOO recently with almost
equal results. Florida spent around
$500,000 last year, bringing its number
of tourists to two million who spent some
$220,000,000. Alabama recently set up an
advertising fund, according to Mr. Shipp
who said “only Georgia and South Caro
lina are now left among the Southern
group making no state appropriation to
attract tourists.”
The Columbus editor further pointed
out that the completion of the trunk-line
highways joining the middle west with
Alabama and Georgia would bring more
tourists this way, especially since the Eu
ropean war has given impetus to travel
within the United States. So we repeat,
this movement, deserves the support of
every newspaper in Georfia.
TWELVE TO ONE: For every dollar
of net income earned by the railways for
their stockholders in the nine years end
ing with 1939 their taxes amounted tc
$12.38, according to a current editorial
in the Railway Age, which said in part:
“During this period taxes averaged mon
than $295,000,000 annually while net in
come averaged less than $24,000,000. The
total taxes paid in the years 1931-1939
inclusive, amounted to $2,656,056,000:
net income earned in these same years
was $214,564,000. Thus the pay-off of the
tax collector, as compared with the own
er, was more /than twelve to one. with the
tax collector on the long end of the trans
action.”
GIST-OF THE NEWS: Atlanta has
just experienced its worst January in
history, meteorologically speaking. Just
about everything happened that could
happen, including rain, sleet, ice and fi
nally snow —the heaviest that ever blank
eted the city. It was 9% inches thick . .
Georgia's fifty-five Kiwanis clubs joined
with the nation in the twenty-fifth anni
versary of Kiwanis International. The
anniversary observance was centered in
Detroit where the organization was found
ed in 1915 .. . Sandy Barnes, negro,
w-ho claims to be 100 years old, was plac
ed on twelve month's probation in a Ful
ton court when he pleaded guilty to
owning tw-enty-four gallons of non-tax
paid corn liquor found in his home ....
Atlanta taxpayers set an all-time record
for prompt payment of tax bills during
1929, when collections represented 94.5
per cent, of the total levy of $6,285.-
301.05.

PIPELINE COMPANY
WINS COURT ORDER
(By Georgia News Service.)
BAINBRIDGE, Ga.—The Southeast
ern. Pipe Line company, of Atlanta, has
the authority from Superior Court Judge
B. C. Gardner, of Camilla, to go ahead
with condemnation proceedings to obtain
right-of-way for its Gulf-to-C'hatttanooga
gasoline pipe line.
Judge Gardner held a 1937 Georgia
legislative act gave the company right
of eminent domain necessary for condem
nation action, and dissolved a temporary
restraining order he had granted on Jan.
20 to Mjrs. Ruth B. Botts. G. S. McNair
and Beulah N. McNair, Decatur county
landowners, through whose property th.
pipeline route will go.
Considered by transportation experts
to be the safest and most economica;
means of gasoline transportation, there
are now over 7.000 miles of gasoline pipe
line in operation in the United States
The Southeastern pipe line is the first,
however, to be constructed in the south

HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC
VOTED NO, I NUISANCE
ATLANTA, Jan. 31 (GPS).—Traffic
congestion along the highways caused by
heavy commercial vehicles was shown tc
be the No. 1 complaint of the nation's mo
torists in a new American Automobile
association survey, according to leader
in the movement to make highways safer
for the average autoist.
Commenting on the association’s find
ings, William J. Gottlieb, president of
the Automobile Club of New York, said :
“The A. A. A.’s national touring bureau
asked members throughout the country to
name the nuisances or objectionable fac
tors encountered most frequently when
driving. By far the greatest number of
complaints were directed against heavy
commercial vehicle traffic, which account
ed for more than 41 per cent, of all com
plaints.”
Overloaded, slow-moving trucks often
create a definite traffic hazard as well as
a nuisance, it was pointed out in Atlanta
In consequence bills have been introduc
ed in sixteen states to curtail week-end
trucking. This indicates growing public
concern caused by trucks when traffic
is the heaviest.

RECEIPTS FOR FEBERAL INSURANCE TAX
DEDUCTIONS MUST BE GIVEN EMPLOYES
Employers are now required by law to
give their employes receipts for the money
taken out of their wages for old-age and
survivors insurance taxes, according t<
Knox Smartt, manager of the social se
curity field office at Rome, Ga. This nev.
requirements of the social security act, hr
explained, went into effect the first of
this year.
Mr. Smartt pointed out that formerly
the employer was only required to furnish
the employe with a notation which would
permit him td check the accuracy of the
deduction. “This,” he said, “could be in
cluded on a pay check which would, of
course, eventually be returned to the em
ployer. But now the law specifically stip
ulates that the employer must furnish a
statement ‘suitable for retention by the
employe’.” He added that the law pro-
FARMERS URGED TO
PLANT LESPEDEZA
It may be impossible to get something
for nothing, but farmers can get two
crops from the same land with very little
extra effort by sowing lespedeza on their
small grain, agricultural workers in
Chattooga county point out.
Annual lespedeza, where adapted, is
also one of the best, plants for erosion
control when used in rotations on culti
vated crop land, according to County-
Agent Dawson and Arthur S. Booth.
Chattooga county work unit technician of '
the soil conservation service in the Coosa
river soil conservation district.
Since it does not require extra plowing
of the land when sown on small grain
and can be seeded when the farmer b
not busy with other crops, annual lespe
deza fits in well with the farmer’s rota
tions. If left a second year it usually re
seeds itself on the land.
Under favorable conditions such as good
soil and an application of superphosphate,
annual lespedeza makes large yields of
good hay and, if cut early, will make suf
ficient additional growth before frost to
give excellent winter protection to the
land and leave considerable material to
be turned under. It produces plenty of
seed that can be harvested for increasing
the acreage of the crop without addition
al seed cost.
Annual lespedeza responds well to phos
phate and on poor soils it is important to
apply at least 200 pounds per acre of 16
per cent, superphosphate, or its equiva
lent, either to the oats when it is plant
ed in the fall or to the lespedeza ■ when
it is seeded on the oats early in March.
PUBLIC LIBRARY
A board meeting of the Chattooga Pub
lic library was recently held in the li
brary room of the courthouse. An inter
esting business discussion ensued which
has the aspect of a greater library for
;he county. A sounder financial footing
iias been assured. The city and the
Woman's club has each increased its
pledge. The Rotary and the Lions clubs
have expressed the intention of sponsor
ing an entertainment, the proceeds to be
;iven to the library. With this assured
income the library is now able to add a
irge number of volumes to its shelves.
Books for children will be given first
•onsideration. It is very encouraging to
see the great interest our girls and boys
have in books. Some show a taste and un
derstanding far beyond their age. A young
lady of 8 years is reading Alcott’s ‘Little
Women,’ a sixth grader the “Life of Da
vid Livingstone,” but when a lassie of
five or six years comes clipperly into the
library, scans the shelves, finds nothing
to her taste, asks sophistocadedly for
“Gone With the Wind.” well the grown
ups will have to do some reading them
selves to philosophize with this younger
generation.
The reading public will be pleased to
know that the following books are now
on ithe library shelves for you :
A Puzzle in Prison. Berkely; Charlie
Chan Carries the Omnibus, Biggers; The
Swollen York Bulls, Bower; John Marsh
Sonethener, Cable — Listen For a Lon
some Drum, Oarmer; How to Win

LOCAL
HAPPENINGS.
$1.50 A YEAR
BIRTHDAY PARTIES
BRING BIG OUTPOUR
(By Georgia News Service.)
ATLANTA, Jan. 30 —Georgians this
/ week brought to a heart-wiarming climax
one of the greatest Fight Infantile Par
i alysis campaigns since observance of the
! president's birthday came to be coupled
| with the battle against the dreaded men
| ace of poliomyelitis.
How well the state did in the matter
I i>f contributing its share to the continu-
I ation of the gallant fight against the last
great plague will be known when reports
of the county, district and section chair
men are made at the state dinner in the
Henry Grady hotel, Atlanta, on Feb. 10.
11. T. Dobbs, executive director of the
campaign, said advance reports indicate
Georgians served the cause nobly this
year, helping to keep this state in the
forefront of the fight that will end in suc
cess some day when the cause of infantile
paralysis is discovered and a preventive
is developed.
Mr. Dobbs said: “Because of the fact
President Roosevelt makes Georgia his
second home. Georgians have always ral
lied whole-heartedly’ to the support of
his favorite cause, and this year has been
no exception. To those of us who are so
closely associated with the cause, it is a
matter of great rejoicing that Georgia
keeps up the good record it has always
shown in our annual celebrations of the
president’s birthday. We can see so much
that is being done with the proceeds of
the drive, because half of the receipts
remain in Georgia to help polio victims
here.
Although some communities postponed
or called off their scheduled celebrations
because of the cold wave, Georgia coun
ties and towns in the main went ahead"'
with the plans. A break in the cold weath
er brought temperatures warm enough to
permit attendance at the various parties
on Jan. 30, and Georgians, sorely tired of
being snowbound, flocked to the celebra
tions in numbers greater than ever before.
Button sales were cut short last week
in the schools because nearly all North
Georgia schools closed for the week, but
when students returned to the desks Mon
day the loose ends were picked up with
the result an excellent showing is expect
ed to be miade by the school section of the
drive.
The first county to make its full report,
even before the campaign closed, was La
nier county, home of Gov. E. D. Rivers,
state chairman of the Georgia Committee
for the Celebration of the President’s
Birthday. Lanier county went over the
top in a hurry, quickly subscribing its
quota.
