■■ail matter, May 16th, 1913, under
And now Parks Rusk of the
Atlanta life says that John Hold
edr made $40,000.00 during the
past two years. If John could
make that much money in 1930
and in 1931 he is a wizzard and
Georgia needs a governor with
that capacity. —Claxton Enter
prise.
When Georgia goes at the job
of electing a governor, just any
old thing may happen, but when
it comes to electing a senator she
always does the right thing.
That is one of many good reasons
why Dick Russell will be nomi
nated September 14th.—-Thomas
ville Press.
The old question of whether
one is justified in putting a hopf
less invalid out of his misery was
again raised recently in Den
matk, when Mrs. Els Bmgad
mitted poisoning her mother.
Baroness von Du'ben, wiho ulf
sered from an incurable malady,
at the mother’s request. Mrs.
Bang was given a jail sentence of
only three months, and after
serving half of that time King
Christian X pardoned her.
The race for Governor is at
present only a matter of forma
tion in the minds of the people of
this county. Most of the candi
dates are strangers here and
very little is known of them 01
their qualifications and platform.
In the'ccuntry districts Mr. Tai
madge lias a small following bul
nothing stable. In the city John
Holder seems to be the choice
with Mr. Hardwick a few scat
tering supporters. It is known
that Holder’s friends are going
to make a strong bid for the
county vote and as matters seem
to stand now will getit. —Thomas-
ville press.
What is Evidence?
Every once in a while some
tbing occurs to upset our idea
concerning the kind of evidenct
that is worthy of credence. Such
an occurrence is seen in the ca-o
of Conda Dabney, once convicted
in Kentucky and given life im
prisonment for the murder of a
young woman.
At the trial another woma
swore that she was an eye witness
to the crime, and a considerabh
array of circumstantial evidenct
was presented to corroborate her
testimony. At the time •of Dab
ney’s conviction, practically
everyone felt that the verdict
was just.
Yet, a few weeks later the
woman who was supposed to
have been murdered showed up
alive and well. Dabney was re
leased, but think of what he and
his family suffered through the
diabolical attempt to swear his
life away. Suppose he had been
executed for the alleged crime?
Many’ cases are of record in
which it was proved later that
innocent persons have actually
been put to death through per-
Fared testimony. In some in
stances in which the condemned
men have confessed murder the
supposed victims have turned
up alive.
All this illustrates how unre
iable the most convincing evi
dence may be, and while it is
doubtless true that for every in
nocent person punished a dozen
guilty ones escape, it shows that
a great responsibility rests up
on a jury, particularly when a
human life is at stake.
Mr. Crisp was caught with the
goods on him while fixing the
utility power charges on the con
sumer instead of the producer, j
where it belonged. A Georgia
Power Company representative
was found sitting at his elbow —
paying a social call —at that
c r u c i c al hour.—Thomasville
Press.
The religious issue will hardly
be brought into the presidential
campaign, although a third party
might raise it. Hoover was placed
in nomination at Chicago by a
Catholic, and the new chairman
of the Democratic national com
mittee is also of that faith.
“Stoo bad Arlie Tucker had
to go and break up Gene Tai
madge’s baseball nine. Gene will
have to play himself now or else
lose one of his campaign argu
ments. Present indications, how
ever, point to the fact that Tal
madge is probaoly the manager
of the greater part of the nine
he was whooping up. —Claxton
Enterprise.
Sticking to his dry guns, Sena'
tor Cameron Morrison of North
Carolina declared during the re
cent primary campaign: “lam
willing to die politically for pro
hibition.’’ An hed did —his wet
opponent winning by a vote of
nearly two tofone.
For forcibly kissing a blonde
in his office in Berlin, Karl
Zecbtem had to pay her 50 marks,
while a brunette whom he simi
larly saluted was given only 20
marks damages.

For Congress
Co the voters of the First Congres
sional District of Georgia:
I am a candidate for re-election to
Congress from the First Congressional
District of Georgia, subject to th*
Democratic Primary to be held on
■September 14, 1932.
During the few months that I have
had the honor of represening the peo
ple of the‘old First District in the
72nd Congress, 1 have, tried to serve
all of the people of the District. I have
sent out more than 100,000 pieces of
mail since December Ist.
1 have been faithful. I have straddl
ed no issue. I have played no favorit
es. I have stood for cleanliness, hon
esty and economy in Government. I
have voted in the interest of the tax
payers and masses.
1 did not vote for the foreign debt
moratorium and in the interest of the
people of foreign countries. 1 did not
vote for the huge appropriation for
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor
ation and in the interest of big busi
ness. 1 did not vote tor the sales tax
and in the interest of the wealthy at
the expense of the common peo] le. I
did not vote for the cash payment to
ex-service men of the balata e due
them on their adjusted service certifi
cates for the reason that the payment
to this one group of our citizens of
$2, 400,000,060.00 would cost each
man, woman and child in America
$20.00 in additonal taxes. There are
less than four million people in the
United States who pay a Federal In
come Tax. On this basis. if the bal
ance due on the bonus had been paid
in cash, it would have cost each of
these tax payers more than $600.00.
I have no relatives on Government
or State Payrolls.
Daring my last year's campaign for
the unexpired term. I promised to
stand on every plank of the platform
adopted by the Democratic Party in
its convention at Chicago! in 1932. If
1 am elected to the 73rd Congress I
shall fulfill that promise.
I will appreciate the support of ail
those voters of the First District who
believe I have been faithful, that my
service is worthy of their approval',
and that my record entitles me to be
elected for a full term of two years.
Yours sincerely,
Homer C. Parker.

For Judge of SuperioE Court.
This will announce my candidacy
for Judge of the Ocouee Judicial
Circuit. The business of the courts is
being attended to, the dockets are in
good shape and the people seem satis
fied. I shall porbably be nominated
for re-election without opposition,
for which I am grateful to all.
My experience and training as law
yer and judge should be of value in
the conduct of the courts. Drawing
from such experience and training,
and with a sympathetic understanding
of the fraikies of man, I shall strive
to administer with wisdom, justice
and moderation.

For Congress
To the people of the First Congress
ional District of Georgia:
I am a candidate for Congress from
the First Congressional District of
Georgia, subject to the rules of the
Democratic primal y to be held Sep
tember 14th, 1932.
Having been born and reard on the
farm, my knowledge of the problems
and burdens of our fat mers is first
hand and practical rather than theor
etical and superficial. Believing that
the basic wealth of this country comes
from the soil, and that the whole
country prospers only in proportion
to the prosperity of our farmers and
laborers, who produce this wealth,
and knowing that the farmers cannot
much longer exist upon prsent prices
of farm products, I pledge myself to
the supportof legislation which will
force an increase iu the pi ice of farm
products so the farmer may be placed
upon a basis of equality with other
business and industry.
The issue upon which I ask the
support of the voters of this district
will be discussed by me in every coun
ty of the distrietduring the campaign,
and if you agree with the democratic
principles of government that I stand
for, your support will be highly ap
preciated.
Respectfully yours,
ALBERT L. COBB.

A Palm Leaf 11 Feet Long and
16 Feet Wide
It in known as the Talipat Palm
and grows luxuriantly in the Moun
tains of Ceylon. It bears leaves which
are of great use to the inhabitants.
During sudden showers from fifteen to
twenty natives find shelter under a
single leaf. Rev. H. Caventer says that
he has seen specimens which were 11
feet in length and 16 feet in breadth.
The inhabitants of Ceylon find them
useful in many ways. One single leaf
Is utilized as a complete cover for a
Ceylon river raft. This palm is de
scribed by Robert Knox in his book
entitled “Curiosities of the Vegetable
Kingdom.”

While exceptional growth of this
kind is unusual, growers should take
notice that large yields are possible
through the proper application of
nitrogen, which all agricultural spe
cialists recognize as the growth ele
ment in fertilizers.
Quality products bring best prices
in the market and high yield means
low labor cost. And nitrogen in quick
ly available form is best fed to grow
ing crops by top-dressing and side
dressing with Arcadian Nitrate of
Soda. This American-made product
contains an exceptionally high per
centage of nitrogen; the growth ele
ment for all farm products.

Here’s a Real Head of Cabbage
How happy “Jiggs” would be to
see this head of cabbage. Cooked
with good corned beef, this one cab
bage would make a meal for all
"Dinty Moores" friends.
The picture of the boy standing
beside it gives you a good idea of
its enormous size. The photograph
from which this drawing was made
was taken at Chertsey Agricultural
Show-, Lyne, England.
As success in truck farming de
pends upon high yield and quality
products, truck farmers everywhere
are heavy users of fertilizers.
It is interesting to note that
many American farmers are now not
only growing superior products but
also getting greater yields than our
European neighbors.
