Entered at the Postoffice at Sum
merville, Ga., as Second-Class
Mall Matter
With the disregard that many
motorists have for the parking lines,
the city officials should more close
ly check on those cars that do not
observe these lines—after going to
the expense and trouble of mark
ing them.
In referring to a statement made
by Governor Talmadge at Birming
ham—that there were four or five
newspapers in Georgia that ought
to be in hell—The Glenville Sentinel
says that they certainly hope they
are not included in this bunch of
papers, as they would certainly hate
to spend an eternity in the same
.community with Governor Tal
madge.—Ain’t it so —ain’t it so!
With the Russians claiming an
ever-increasing number of Germans
killed, we’ll be mighty glad when
they claim enough to include Hitler.
When someone suggests that we
might get married in order not to
*go to the army, we reply that we
had rather go to the army for—af
ter all—that means being bossed for
only a year.
HE’S AT IT AGAIN
Well —Gene’s up to his old tricks
again—removal of state employees
who displease him. The happen
ings down at the state capitol Mon
day remind one of the upheaval
that was prevalent during a previ
ous administration of the governor
when he ousted two state officials
that had been ELECTED by the
people of Georgia. It seems that
he likes to keep up a “racket” all of
the time. It seems that Talmadge
can not condone anyone who is not
completely subservient to him.
The removal of Dean Walter
Cocking and State Teacher’s Col
lege President Pittman substantiate
the fact that no state employee is
immune from the “vengeance of the
boss”—once he decides he no longer
has use of them. It seems that
Talmadge, so long as he can get
resignations and removals as he did
on the board of regents, has estab
lished rule akin to “dictatorship” in
Georgia.
We anxiously await to see who
will be the next victim of ‘guberna
torial wrath’. Better watch out,
boys—Gene’s at it again.

Farm families average nearly
double the number of children in
urban families.
MARKETING TIMBER
In selling saw-timber stumpage,
Extension foresters say the timber
owner would do well to insist on
being paid on a basis of thousands
of feet of timber cut, instead of a
flat sum for the entire amount of
standing timber. It is just as bad
to sell timber on a lump sum basis
as it would be to sell livestock with
out knowing the price per head or
per pound, the foresters point out.
COST OF PUMPING
Shallow well pumps will deliver
1,000 gallons of water at a cost of
only three to five cents for elec
tricity, says J. L. Calhoun, Exten
sion electrification specialist. With
deep well pumps, it will require five
to seven cents worth of electricity
to pump the same quantity. These
costs are based on an average rate
of three cents per kilowatt hour
for electricity.
PASTURE SOILS
Pasture plants, like other crops,
require fertile soil for their maxi
mum growth. Every section has
some lowland areas which can be
worked into condition for perma
nent pasture, says E. D. Alexander,
Extension agronomist. In some sec
tions, however, it will be necessary
to depend upon the uplands for
grazing, he points out.
AAA ASSISTANCE
Through assistance of the AAA
farm program, farmers are doing
these things: Stopping wasteful
overplanting of soil-depleting crops;
building up and conserving the soil;
providing orderly storage and mar
keting; and improving farm income
and living. AAA’s help provides a
Vital part to our national defense.
I WENT AND SAW
(By the Parson)
I was invited to go to Lyerly and
watch the home guards in action.
I didn’t go the first night because
of a previous engagement that I
had forgotten. One of the boys said
he wrote a piece entitled “The Par
son that never went and therefore
never saw.” I think their heart
failed them and they failed to
print it.
Last Monday night I went to Ly
erly and when I entered Crawford’s
Hardware Store, Bob Crawford said,
“You have made some wise cracks
in the paper” and as he said that
he reached for a gun. Now I’m not
so well acquainted with Bob Craw
ford and therefore I didn’t know
whether he meant business or was
in a playful mood.
There are twenty-seven members
of the home guard at Lyerly with
Jim Hollis as Lieutenant, Bob Craw
ford as First Sergeant, J. C. Wil
liams a Sergeant, J. L. Baine as
Corporal and Bert Brogden as Sec
ond Corporal. Jim Tedder of Sum
merville is Captain of all the home .
guards in Chattooga county. Hav
ing these efficient officers insures
Lyerly of a competent guard.
The Lyerly boys have made no
solicitations for funds. For this
and all other accomplishments they
are proud. Each man has bought
his own uniform and equipment.
Six -of them have guns that are at;
the disposal of all members of the
home guard. Each man buys his
own ammunition.
Twice these boys have been to an j
official shoot at Rome. They had a
better attendance and a better)
mark than any home guard in this
Congressional District up to that
time. They have learned that since
then the Rome boys have surpassed
the Lyerly marksmanship but no
one in Lyerly expects that record to*
stand, for as soon as the Lyerly boys j
go back to Rome they will make
another new high record.
It was interesting to watch those |
boys drill, and even though some of)
them were new, they made a fine
showing. Some of the commands
as well as formations were new to I
me. Inasmuch as they do not all
have guns, they do not drill with
them but were very happy in the
announcement that guns were in
Atlanta on their way to Lyerly. The
officers have changed almost all of .
them from the rabbit hunting step!
to the military step. I understand
that all of the home guards will
meet at the American Legion Hall
in Summerville next Monday at 7
p. m. If you would like to see who
will police our county when we are
more definitely in the army you can
come out and see for yourself.
Charles Fink was kind enough to
drive me to Lyerly. I enjoyed his
lecture on First Aid Instruction. He
is very good in giving instructions.
He is clear in thought and direc
tion, he does not use too many
technical phrases and in his lecture)
he demonstrates by the object
method so that even I could under
stand what it was all about. I wish
it were so that I could hear all of
his lectures.
I was invited to offer criticism
after they had finished drilling but
I told them that a man that had
not drilled in twenty-six years and
has a stomach as big as his chest
ought to be should not attempt to
criticize any drilling of today. I
enjoyed my visit as I always enjoy
visiting Lyerly. Fellows, I’ll be back
to see you.
Don’t ask me to express myself
on Gene Talmadge-Pittman-Cock
ing affair. I don’t “cuss,” neither
can I print “cuss” words.
Approximately 75,000,000 trees
were planted throughout the coun
try this spring.
Domestic consumption of cotton
is likely to approach nine million
bales for 1940-41.

It is hardly likely that Diamond Jim

ciously if he suffered after-eating
pains. Sufferers who have to pay
the penalty of stomach or ulcer
pains, indigestion, gas pains, heart
burn, burning sensation, bloat and
other conditions caused by excess
acid should try a 25c box of Udga
