NELDA CAMPBELL GREETS FORMER GOVERNOR MADDOX
Maddox Attacks Dukakis
from front page
appointment during the tour.
Maddox drove to Summerville
from Chattanooga, Tenn., and
was heading to Rome. He said
he'd already been to 23 coun
ties and had visited Savannah
and Augusta. When he com
pletes his Georgia tour, said
the former governor, he will
trek through five more
Southeastern states to call at
tention to Dukakis’ record.
BEAT HIM
“I'm doing all I can to help
him,” Maddox said, pausing
for effect, ** ... get beat.”
Many Democratic leaders
have privately denounced the
policies, platforms and can
didates of the national
Democratic Party, Maddox
said in his booklet, *‘but public
ly take a stand in support of
them."
Maddox doubted that
Dukakis will carry a single
Southern state on Nov. 8, “and
I'd be surprised if he carries
even 12 to 15 in the whole
United States of America,
primarily because he's not a
Democrat. He's disguised
himself as one but %e’s a
revolutionary leftist. He's a
socialist and if we vote for him,
we'll vote against ourselves.”

Jason Espy Looks On In Office Of Clerk Of Court
blasts Dukakis for making a
deal with unsuccessful can
didate Jesse Jackson. He said
the Democratic nominee is
“Jackson Dukakis, the first
ever ‘two-headed’ presidential
nominee presented to the
American people by the
Democratic National Party
(DNP).”
If Dukakis was a Democrat,
I guess we could vote for him.
But the Democratic Party na
tionally is undemocratic.”
Describing himself as a lifelong
Georgia Democrat, the former
governor said he has been ask
ed why he doesn't leave the
party. et .
*“...lsay, look, me and my
wife today on my birthday,
we've been married 52 years,
three months and 21 nights at
8 o'clock. It hasn't afi been
easy but it’s been worth it and
I'm going to stay with it,”’ he
continued. “'l've been going to
my church since 1918 and I've
had trouble there. But I'm not
going to leave my wife, my par
ty or my church. I'm going to
fight what I see is wrong.”
CHINESE
Dukakis has leaned toward
radicalism and socialism all his
life, Maddox charged Friday.
“In fact, he bragged to the
Chinese . ..that ‘l've been
fighting for you since I was in
high sc%\ool. In fact, I'm so
strong for you people that I
debated that you would win
your communistic war over
there, and even back home,
some of the other people accuse
my state . . . of being the Peo
ple's Republic of
Massachusetts . .. "
Maddox ripped into the
ACLU, saying, “‘they're mess
ing up that name, ‘American.’
Either they ought to discard it,
th' using it, or (;_)refix it with
nti-American Civil Liberties
Union, because they're not for
this country. And neither is
‘Du-taxes,” what's his name —
Dukakis.”
Governor Maddox said it
was ‘‘sad” that he had to tour
Georgia and five other area
states, “‘that we don’t have
leaders speaking for the
liberals an(f conservatives and
moderates in Georgia. They 're
only representing the radicals
and the socialists and it's time
we put them back off that high
level fence."
GOOD PEOPLE
As almost an afterthought,
he added, **You know, a lot of
ood people go into public of
?ice ané) tfiey downgrade
themselves to politicians and a
lot of that is happening.”
He asked rhetorically
whether Democratic officials
“have lost the will to speak out
for freedom, private free enter
prise, law and order, and our
constitutional form of govern
ment? Are they afraid to speak
out against the soft-on
communism and weak-in-
Americanism, and pro-
Communist forces that have
captured our DNP —the very
forces which threaten the sur
vival of our nation as a free
republic?” e e
On the same day that Mad
dox spoke in Summerville,
Geor%ia House Speaker Tom
Murphy announced that he
was withdrawing his support
of Dukakis.

More Government Help
Comes To Local Farmers
Local farmers, who earlier
this year received funds from
the federal government for
drought relief, may be eligible
for %’et another program.
he 1988 Disaster
Payments Program will help
farmers who suffered crop
losses from this summer's
drought, said Hank Hammond,
executive director of the Chat
tooga Countg office - of the
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service (ASCS).
ASCS is part of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
550 FARMERS
“We have approximately
550 farmers in Chattooga
County, and whether all of
them will be eligible remains to
be seen,” Hammond said. “But
we are expecting a big sign
up.
. Two federal progams were
announced in Jull:y. hese were
the Emergency Feed Program
and the Emergency Conserva
tion Program. Cost-sharing
assistance was offered to coun
ts; farmers and feed producers
through these two proi;ams.
Assistance coming through
the 1988 Disaster Payments
Program depends on rainfall
during the last half of the sum
mer. Hammond said a total of
43 states and $4-billion of
assistance are involved in the
program. Local applications for
federal money are being taken
now, he said.
ELIGIBILITY
Eligibility for such funds is
determined by a three man,
farmer-elected committee,
Hammond said. The commit
tee will determine the amount
of payment the federal govern
ment makes to the farmer after
reviewing production evidence,
Highfights of the program

A DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Democrat — November 8, 1988
— Disaster payments will
be available to eligible pro
ducers on losses that are
greater than 35 percent of nor
mal production. Producers
with annual gross revenues of
$2-million or less will be eligi
ble for assistance. :
— Eligible producers with
crop losses greater than 65 per
cent must agree to purchase
multil‘peril crop insurance under
the Federal Crop Insurance
Act for the 1989 for which
disaster anments are made.
— The total amount of
payments and benefits a per
son may receive in 1988 may
not exceed SIOO,OOO. Benefits
for the Emergency Feed Pro
gram may not exceed $50,000
in any calendar year.
— The final date to apply
for assistance is March 31,
1989. File at the Chattooga
A SCS office.
CALCULATION
— Payments are calculated
by determining the amount of
loss below 65 percent of the
normal level of production and
multiplying the eligible loss by
the applicable disaster pay
ment rate.
— There are two payment
levels; 90 percent of the pay
ment rate for losses in excess
of 75 percent of normal flroduc
tion and 65 percent of the pay
ment rate for losses between 35
and 75 percent of normal
production.
— Payment rates are as
follows: T{e target price will be
used for producers of wheat,
feed grains, and cotton who are
participating in the 1988
Acreage Red%ction Program.
For those not participating in
the Programs, the county loan
rate will be used. For soy[))]eans.
and other eligible crops, the
average commodity price
received within the state for
the previous five years, ex.
cluding the high and low years,
PAYMENTS
— Payment yields are as
follows: F}(,)r wheat, feed Sgraing,
and cotton, the ASCS farm
program payment yield. For
soybeans, the average county
yield for the three previous
years, with certain ad
justments for low yields. For
other eligible crops, proven
ields based on actual produc
{ion for the three previous
years production with the
county average being
substituted for any years that
actual evidence may be
missing.
— Participants _in the
Acreage Reduction Program
for wheat feed grains, angrcot
ton will be allowed to retain ad
vance deficiency payments for
crop losses up to 35 percent of
their normal production.
Persons interested in apply
ing for assistance under tfile
disaster program should come
by their ASCS Office as soon
as possible so that the process
for determining eligibifity can
begin immediately.
