WlwLpr bounty BOONE REMOVED BY COm ORDERED Irwinton, Feb. 3. —The first official acts of three new state house officials of Georgia were declared illegal and voted by a court order in Wilkinson Super ior court Friday in a decision ren dered by Judge James B. Park following a hearing at Madison upon quo- warranto proceedings to oust Alexander S. Boone, Sr., as a member of the Wilkinson county board of education, brought by J. W. Holland of Me. Intyre. Judge Park held that a com mission issued to Boone by Gov ernor Talmadge was illegal. Hol land was elected by the Wilkin son county grand jury as a mem ber of the county board of edu cation to succeed N. H. Bacon on Oct. 5. Boone was serving as clerk of Wilkinson Superior court. Governor Russell failed to issue the commission during the last days of his administration and the day after Governor Tai madge took office he issued a commission to Boone instead of to Holland. Upon a hearing before Gover nor Talmade, Tuesday, it de veloped that the commission was prepared first, signed and ap proved by State Supt. M. D. Collins and approved by the attorney general, Judge M. J. Yeomans in an oral opinion to Superintendent Collins as one of the first offical acts of the new school superintendent and the new attorney general. Governor Talmadge then issu ed the commission to Boone. Quo warranto proceedings were filed and the hearing was had Friday. Attorney C. B. McCullar, of Milledgeville, and Victor David son, of Irwinton, represented Holland, while Eli B. Hubbard and Alexander S. Boone, Jr., rep resented Boone. Judge Park rendered a de cision immediately, holding that the commission was illegal and should have been issued to Hol land, instead of Boone, and order ed Boone to vacate his office and said that Holland should be recog nized and qualified in accordance with the grand jury’s recommen dations. Bonus Wouldn’t Aid Natinl’s Business Roger Babson Says. Chattanooga, Feb. 6 —Roger W. Babson, economist, says the con teutioa that immediate payment of the soldiers’ bonus would help business is “all nonsense.” A statement quoting the busi ness statistician on the subject was issued from national head quarters of the American Vet erans’ Association here Sunday night by Commander Silas Wil liams. “If this bonus were to be paid with funds not now in the coun try,” the Babson statement said, “it could help business merely to transfer funds from one group in this country to another group.” Babson added he felt payment of the bonus at this time would be “unfair” to the general public and to the veterans and their families barticularly “because it would rob them and their families of a future nest egg.” Mrs. H. L. Sears, Jr., Mrs. Georgia Blair, Mrs. Warren Pope, Mrs. Jodie Geiger, Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Sears, of,Can al Point,Florida, are visiting friends and relatives here. ALAMO, GEORGIA FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1933 PARKER WILL SEEK REAPPOINTMENT OF4POSTMASTERS Washington, Feb. 4. —Repre sentative Homer 0. Parker, Democrat from the First Geor gia District, in a statement Sat urday said he would recommend at least four of the present post masters in his district for reap pointment. Congressman Parker said his recommendations would include renaming of Guy H. Wells, at Collegeboro; Dr. G.E Youmans at Adrian; Mrs. L. Bertie Bush ing at Glennville, and R. H. Man son at Dairen. Parker said that he felt obli gated to recommend George T Groover for the postmastership at Statesboro; Mrs. J. Lawton Howard at Ludowici and Mrs. Olive Fraser at Hinesville. He said his recommendation regard pig these appointments “must of necessity” be conditional because it will be necessary for them’to become qualified under federal regulations. He said there are seventeen postmasterships to be filled in the new First District between now and November 12, including those named above. “I think I am correct,” he said, “in advising the people of the district that postoffice appoint ments will be filled upon the re commendation of the district’s representative in congress, with the exception of the appointmm.t of the postmaster for the first class postoffice at Savannah. In all probability the United States senators from Georgia will share with me the responsibility of making this appointment. There is only one first class postoffice in the First District. “The naming of the postmaster at Savannah has not as yet bee.j the subject matter of a con ference of the officials who will bo charg ed with the responsibility of making the appointment. “With respect to the appoint ments at Millen, Metter, Fort Scriven, Glenwood, Reidsville, Lyons and Ailey, I am not in position to make any statement at this time, due to the fact that further investigations at these places appear to be in order. “Examinations have already been held at Waynesboro and Fort Wentworth. I don’t know that the incoming Democratic administration will use the eligi ble lists for these two places, which have already been made up by the Civil Servce Commis. sion and certfied to the Post Office Department. “At Waynesboro I have previ ously given my indorsement to S. A. Gray, who is eligible to re ceive the appointment at this time. I have not made any recommendations with reference to the Fort Wentworth office, since the PostOffice Department has not undertaken to make an appointment from among those on the eligible list furnished by the Civil Service Commission last December. “If these eligible lists should govern in the appointment of postmasters at the two post offices I shall recommend the appointment of S. A. Gray at Waynesboro and one of the eligi bles on the Fort Wentworth list. In the event the incoming Demo cratic administration should find it necessary to hold additional examinations at these two places, I, of course, will have to be governedin my recommendations, by the action that is to be taken R. G. Jenking, Jr., Bitten by Mad Dog R. G. Jenkins, J r., son of Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Jenkins of this place, was bitten Wednesday morning, while out on his route delivering the morning papers, by a mad dog. He stopped at the home of Mr. M. C. Hartley and as he put his foot to the ground the dog bit him on the leg. The dog had been in different sections and also bit a number of dogs here. The head was sent to Atlenta and a telegram yesterday stated that positive signs of rabies were found. The dog was follow ed by Mr. Hartley qauite a dis tance out of town and killed.

CROP LOAN BILL SIGNED BY HOOVER Washington, Feb. 4. —Presi dent Hoover today signed the bill providing $90,000,000 for crop production loans to farmer this year. At the White House it was said the president had received a report on the bill today from the department of agriculture and he had approved it within a short time after a visit from Secretary Hyde. The measure, as finally approv ed by congress, was a comprom ise between the bill authorizing $75,000,000 passed by the house and one calling for more than $100,000,000, approved by the senate. Measures for production loans to farmers have been passed virtually every year since 1921 but the sums were comparatively small untill 1930 when approxi mately $00,000,000 was voted after a severe _ drouth which seared large sections in the south and west. The production loans will be under the supervison of the de partment of agriculture. Rules laid down by the department last year limited the amout to an individual’farmer might borrow to S4OO and those to landlords with tenants to $1,600. As security for the loan, the department takes a lien on the crops. The primary purpose ol the bill is to’”.furnish funds foi crop production but money may also be loaned under its term's to harvest crops. Red Cross Scandal People are beginning to “hint” that there is a dead nigger in the woodpile in connection with the present Red Cross program. Congress voted 500,000 bales of cotton for charity. It is alledp ed that the American Bed Cross gave the cotton mills 459,000 bales, or 90 per cent in exchange for manufacturing the remaining 50,000 bales. Just why the transaction should have been carried out in this manner, and particularly at such tremendous cost, is only one of the questions being con sidered. Aside from actual necessity, one of the greatest arguments in favor of donating the 500,000 bales through the Red Cross for charity was that it would in creases the consumption of our surplus cotton to an extent. How ever, with only 50,000 bales reach ing the consumer, it is quite evident that it did nothing of the sort. The American Red Cross is the mother of all charity of any consequence and this is the first deal ever pulled in ber name that created suspicion and this seems to be due to her poor advisers. Looks like Andrew H. Brown in the Madam Queen deal, wherein be started her off by taking the first loan. —Lithonia Journal. ’Nother thing needed in Geor gia is fewer politicians shaking hands, and more of them shaking heads when asked to spend the public money.

Mrs. Hayes was out in the front of the house when she heard the report from the re volver, rushing in she found him lying on the floor, blood gushing Irom the wound. No motive for the rash act has been learned, and came as a shock to his many friends. An inquest is being held over the body. No particulars of funeral arrangements have been made. Alamo Plays Ball. A glorious defeat was witnes sed by spectators at the basket ball gym, in Eastman, January, 31, when the Alamo boys and girls cramped Eastman’s style and held the score down within counting distance. The home.’, town girls played the best game of the season, and proof of the fact is seen in the score. Instead of Eastman’s pilling up the usual 5o to 100 score for herself the final figures were 35 to 13. Any.person seeing the Alamo girls play would have been in spired by the manner in which they entered into a combat which they had reason to believe was a losing game. They played with every ounce ofuehegery, every thought for teamwork and—a smile. A game in which the Alamo girls Were victorious could not have been a better one. Nor were;the boys inferior to the girls in putting their all into the game. The final score for the boys' game was 15 to 18 in East man’s favor. According to the “try again” principle employed by the Alamo boys’ victory over Eastman is predicted for them in the next game. Mabyyour boost will help. Have you tryed it? League Carnival!
