TWELFTH DISTRICT
REPUBLICAN MEETING
Quite a large number attended
the Twelfth District Republican
Club, which met at the court
house here on Friday evening of
last week. Fourteen of the fifteen
counties in the district were rep
resented, unfavorable weather
possibly prevented this county
from being represented at this
meeting. The court house audi
torium was filled almost to its
capacity.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by Mrs. W. G. Hartley,
after which Col. G. L, Hattaway
introduced Mr. J. M. McDonald,
of Fort Valley, who outlined the
object of the meeting. In sub
stance, the object of the recently
organized republican club is to
get control of the republican
machinery in the state, in which
would place the party patronage
in the hands of the whites, which
is now controlled by the Negroes.
Mr. Hager, district attorney
for the northern district of Geor
gia, was the next speaker. He
is serving under appointment ot
the republican administration,
and was recently appointed for
his third term. He is one of the
old line republicans, and made a
very forceful argument.
Mr. Izzie Bashinski. of Dublin,
and Coy 0 Mosley, editar of the
Lyons Progress, made short
talks. Another such meeting
is scheduled to be held in Dublin
on Friday night, March2Blh. All
members of the club are urged
to attend
On the fifth of April, by call of
the central cjmmittee of the
state republican organization, a
county convention will be held at
the court hause here at eleven
o’clock, for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the state con
vention in Atlanta, which meets
on April 19th.
The notice of the meeting called
for April sth, will be posted ten
days in advance of said meeting.
This meeting will be presided
over by J. A. Wheeler, chairman
of the Wheeler county republican
organization. At this meeting
delegates will be elected to go
to the state convention. The
whiles will support one of their
n^nberfor delegate from Wheel
er county. The Negroes will sup
port one from their rank for de
legate. Alternates for each will
also be elected
The meeting will be public and
both whites and Negroes, wh
are qualified, will be eligible to
participate, each voting for theii
respective candidate.
There are only a small number
of colored republicans in this
county so far qualified to vote,
but all those qualified will have
an even privilege to participate
in the selection of delegate and
alternate to the state convention,
which meets in Atlanta April 19.
Judging from the number par
ticipating in the meeting last
Friday evening, the white repub
licans in this county will be able
to poll a good vote in the election
to be held on the fifth of next
month. When an opportunity
was extended to all those favor
ing the meeting and who could
be counted upon as republicans
in this county, eighty one lose to
their feet. It was stated by Mr.
Hager that this qualified them as
such.
The members of the new re
publican club claim that they
are fighting no one, not even the
Negroes, but only organized to
claim from the Negroes the pow
er they are bolding under the
republican administration and
place it in the hands of whites.

NEAT, straight rows ot taint
green showing across Uie
soil in the sunniest section
ot the garden; curly-leaved pars
ley, pungent spikey onions, pale
green lettuce, grass hued sptnach,
purple toned beet tops—all busily
absorbing the warm rays of the
sunshine, storing them up and turn
ing them Into minerals and salts
and rich flavors so that later they
may supply the family with vita
mine-filled wholesome sunshine
dinners.
Fresh green vegetables that
ripen above the soil and have spent
the whole of their growing period
drinking in the sun’s beneficent
rays are teeming with every vital
quality the body requires, and the
modern housewife aware of the
beneficial effects of the sunshine
not only sees to it that her table
is generously supplied with these
best of all foods, but that as many
of them as she can manage are
grown in her own garden plot.
Planting a garden Is a fascinat
ing undertaking, and It Is surpris
ing how easily many of the most
useful of the sunshine vegetables
will grow in a very small space
Follow the directions that accom
pany the seeds, keep the soil about
the young plants free from weeds,
water occasionally and the garden
will surprise and thrill you.
And here are some new and very
tempting ways for preparing sun
shine vegetables for sunshine din
ners.
Spinach Nests make a delicious
main dish for dinner or supper.

lions. Drain an.l place over the fire
in freshly boiling salted water and
cook ten minutes. Drain and sea
son nicely with pepper, salt and
paprika. Serve on strips ot but
tered toast and pour over a white

arate into leaves and wash a head
of tender lettuce. Dry well, then
•et aside. Meantime fry three or
four elicee oftbaeou cut in small
pieces to a crisp brown, add one
fourth cupful of hot water, three
tablespconsful sharp vinegar and
a generous dash of salt, pepper and
paprika. Stir all together, bring

You Can Prevent Pellagra.
Reports from the State Board
of health show that pellagra has
been on the increase in Georgia
since 1924. During the first six
months of 1929 there was an in
crease of 111-2 per cent, there
being a total of more than 850
deaths in the state last year.
The loss of human life can ba
prevented. It has been estab
lished beyond reasonable doubt
that pellagra is a vitamin defi
ciency disease and can be pre
vented by the use of an adequate
diet.
All of our common food mate
rials are believed to contain the
pellagra - preventative vitamin,
tyUhthe exception of oils ami
fats, But IB varying amounts.
Thus there is very little in corn
meal, white flour or rice; some
what more in wheat middlings
and a great deal in lean meat and
powdered yeast. Unfortunately
it is not yet known just how much
the body must have for the main
tenance of health. Any diet con
sisting too largely of starchy
foods, fats and sweets will pro
duce the disease. Thus Dr. Gold*
berger found pellagra among the
convicts in Mississippi who were
subsisting on a diet composed of
corn meal, grits, white flour,
dried beans, salt fat pork, mo
lasses and collards. He found the
same thing among the orphana
ges in the same state living on
the same type of diet. He was
able to cure all these cases by
adding fresh lean meat, milk,
fruits and vegetables to the diet.
The following foods added te
the diet daily may be depended
upon to prevent the disease:
Milk —Sweet or buttermilk —1
quart for children, 1 pint for
adults.
Lean meats —Beef, mutton,
pork, fish or fowl, one serving
daily. /
Vegetables, other than pota
toes —Two servings daily. Leafy
vegetables should be included at
least three times per week.
Fruits —Fresh, canned or dried,
two servings daily.
Whole grain products—Break
fast cereals or breads made of
the whole grain, one serving dai
ly-
It is said, “The best way ta
cure pellagra is to prevent it”
The above foods are recommend
ed for the prevention and not the
cure for pellagra. The person
who has already contracted the
diseaae should consult a physi
cian and follow his advice for a
cure.
The best insurance against the
disease is a good milk cow, an
adequate supply of poultry and
eggs, a good home orchard and a
year round garden. These can
be had on every Geergia farm
with a small outlay of money and
labor.
