Statement From Game
and Fish Department
A local law prohibiting during
the spawning period has been
put into effect in approximately
100 Georgia counties. The law
makes it mandatory upon the
state board of game and fish to
prohibit fishing during the
spawning season in any county
when a single grand jury of that
county so recommends.
Therefore, in view of the fact
that the closed seasen in each
county is purely "local option”
in nature and t fleet, and in view
of the fact that at this particular
period of the year our depart
ment has more than it can pos
sibly do to properly look after
the more destructive violations
Os the fishing law, suchasdyna
miting, poisoning, seining, net
ting, the use of traps, etc., and
inasmuch as the local authorities
in each county effected are in
best position to judge the nature
and extent of drouth conditions
in each county, it shall be the
pelicy of this department to leave
the matter of enforcing the local
option fishing law against hand
pole fishing entiie'y in the hands
of local coutt officials through
the month of June, 1930, or until
the drouth conditions have been
relieved.

Edison Will Urge Second
Term For President.
Fort Myers, Fla., June-10. —
Thomas A. Edison will urge Pres
ident Hoover to seek a second
term as chief execative of the
United States.
The 83-year old inventor paus
ed in his packing of rubber spe
cimens, preparatory to leaving
for West Orange, N. J., tomorrow,
to grant an interview today.
The inventive genius express
ed in no uncertain terms that he
would urge the president to seek
another term in office.
Declaring that the United
States government is the “most
Inefficient big business organi
zation operating today.” Mr.
Edison did not lay the fault to
its present chief executive, but
rather to the vast size of the
business of government.
He was asked concerning the
soundness of big business merg
ers.
"Mergers are sound up to the
point where the vast size of the
I business tends to mismanage
ment. The government is the
worst managed business in the
United states,” he said.
When asked it he favored high
wages for labor, Mr. Edison, who
works 14 hours a day and enjoys
it, said:
"Certainly, why not give the
laborer a good wage as long as
business he works for is making
money.
“Henry Ford’s idea in that
particular case is right. I agree
with him there.”
Edi^n believes ‘chemistry of
fers a bigger opportunity to the
young man of today than agri
culture.’’
“Agriculture is all right,” he
said, “but chemistry is better.
Chemistry offers a wonderful
'new field for yaung men who will
study and work and want to de
vote their lives to a real vocation.

Signal Honor For
Judge Wm. B. Kent
On last Thursday Governor
Hardman appointed Judge Wm.
B. Kent to a position as one of
the Boslrd of Visitors to the
State University at Athens. He
was requested to report on June
9th, to personally inspect the
examinations, management and
condition of the University and
report the same to the Governor,
who submits same to the next
legislature.
The Board is made up of five
men, experienced educators in
Georgia, tvJo of whom shall be
experts in the theory of agricul
ture and horticulture.
Judge Kent has made an ex
tensive study of horticulture and
agriculture and is especially
adapted to the work for which
the Governor has chosen him.
He, as a member of the general
assembly for four years, stood
by and voted with the farmers
and helped to enact such legisla
tion as world be of real service
to them and to the school child
ren of Georgia.
The Board will be in session
for ten daysand will attend the
commencement in a body along
with the trustees.
Judge Kent has been on the
board twice before and wrote
the report each time, and it is
quite a compliment to be called
back the third time to-do service
for his state and the University,
where he graduated in literature,
bookkeeping and law.

We are delighted to learn that
more than enough students have
already registered to fill the dor
mitories. Hhweyer, we are mak
ing arrangements to care for the
overflow. While there will be no
registration fee and no board
charged, it would be wonderful
help to the district secretaries if
each family that sends a repre
sentative would send some con
tribution of food stuff, fresh vege
tables, eggs, chickens, meat or
canned goods.
The encampment is a big un
dertaking for the W. M. S. and
we are hoping and praying that
it will be a wonderful success
and that we can make it an an
nual event. If we will all work
together, relying on God for
strength and guidance, success
is assured.
So many more have registered
than expected since above sent
in we will have to change the
time. Girls will come Monday
morning and stay through Wed
' nesday. Boys will come Wednes
■ day and stay remainder of week.

TWO PARTY PLAN
MOREJSSENTIAL
Some little while ago a number
of fellow citizens of Wheeler
county as well the rest of the
counties in the state were engag
ed in what terminated in a suc
cessful effort to place the repub
lican party in shape where it
could be used by the people, as
party was intended to be used
wherever government exists.
Heretofore the republican par
ts’ had been used by a few pri
vate parties and no effort was ev
er made on the part of those who
were operating it to establish it
as a dominant party in this state.
The party had been used since
the Civil War by a few who bad
been holding their meetings in
some little nook or corner of the
court house, reelecting them
selves to the different appoint
ments for the few offices locally
needed for their own use in the
party.
Acts of the Georgia legislature
of 1925 created a condition where
by politic! parties have to de
brought out into the opeu. Sec
tion 138 (22) and (23) of that act
as codified in the code of Geor
gia, specifies that no person shall
offer to participate or be allowed
to participate in any manner in
any political mass meeting, con
vention, or any other kind of
meeting held for the purpose of
electing or naming officers or
delegates to any county, district,
state or any other kind of politi
cal convention, unless such per
son .at the time is a duly quali
fied voter of the district or coun
ty where such political conven
tion or meeting is held.
This Act further provides that
meetings, mass meetings, county
and district conventions of any
political party held in this state
shall be held in the county court
house in the county where held,
the day and hour of such meeting
or convention to be posted at the
court house door ten days prior
to the date therein named for
holding such meeting or conven
tion.
This Act of the legislature
brought those who had been act
ing behind closed doors and us
ing this party, out in the open
and gave the rank and file of
those who would participate in
such party activities an opportu
nity to place the republican party
wnere it could be used by the
people in the development of the
party system in Georgia, giving
Georgia, as a state, a lever where
by through political party lash
the government could be brought
into subjection and forced to do
the will of the state.
Where would Georgia be if her
legislatures had been composed,
since the Civil War, not of one
political party, but of two parties
of about equal strength? Certain
ly we would not have had, as we
have now, the debauched politi
cal conditions as presenting
themselves to us today.
Where the legislative forces of
a state is composed of different
political parties it is possible to
secure the greatest political lib
erty. For what one party wishes
to cover up the other would re
veal and expose and the people
would have political knowledge
on which they could act and vote
intelligently.

Annual Old Time Camp
Meeting at Ashburn.
Ashburn, Ga., June 4.—The
regular old time holines camp
meeting will be held this year on
July 10 20 inclusive, on the Wes
ley an Methodist Camp Ground
at Ashburn. Great preparations
are being made for this event
and preachers endued with the
supernatural power secured for
the occasion.
The fundamental doctrines of
the Bible will be maintained as
agaist modernism as expressed
in Evolution, higher criticism
ond other forms of Atheism that
are fast creeping into the pulpits
of this country just as surely as
they are rampant in Russia.
Emphasis wi’l be laid on the
following experiences of Grace
so definitely set forth in the Holy
Scriptures; repentance, regen
eration, sanctification and
growth in grace, also the second
coming of Christ and other neg
lected themes of the Bible.
It is proposed to make this
meeting a rallying place for
those who stand for the deeper
truths of the Bible, or who are
thirsting after them.
Ample preparations will be
made on the camp ground for the
entertainment of all who may at
tend, at a minimum cost. While
the Ashburn Hotel, one block
from the comp ground, has made
a special rate of SI.OO per day
for board and lodgings during

DOLLAR COINED 1795
IS OF MO INTEREST
Mr. W. E. Honeycutt, of th®
Landsburg district, in this coun
ty, is possessor of a coin, pos
sibly one of the oldes souvenirs
"in the county. It is a silver dol
lar, coined in the year 1795, and
has been in possession of Mr.
Honeycutt for twenty years or
more. It is some.larger than the
silver dollar of today, the eagle
on face is designed a little dif
ferently. Unlike the present dol
lar, letters decorate the rim of
of coin. It is some different in
appearance, but may be easily
identified as a real dollar (most
especially by those more fre
quently associated with them)
Mr. R. L. Tucker, the candy
salesman, borrowed the coin
from its owner, that he might
take it around with him, and he
let us look upon it, which is al
ways a pleasure for us to have
such a privilege, even if it be
longs to some one else.
Mr. Honeycutt prizes this coin
very highly, and will not part
with same. A coin of this denom
ination and date would perhaps
command quite a neat sum in
the market of old coins.
SPECIAL NOTICE

has been made by me or will be
made by me, and say that I will
not interest myself at all with
that issue at this time.
