Most of my life I have been an
executive. Nearly all my life I
have been the head of sone
organization. My problem has
never been to find talented people.
The hardest job I ever had bas
been to find loyal and dependa
ble men and women. It takes
years tobuild a real organization.
All executives find as a rule that
they have to train from the
ground up dependable and Joyal
members of an organization. The
hardest thing an executive has
to dois to pay a man focurse|
him. You can get plenty of curs-i
ing free. !
Paul told Timothy to commitg
*hia teaching to faithful men who|
would be able to teach others. |
fi}od depends upon faithful peo
~ ple. There are a lot of folks out
of jobs, but my experience teach
es me that when the head of an
organization gets ready to fire
some of the crowd, he usually
keeps the most faithful members
of the organization, If a man
isn't faithful he is dangerous,
especially if he has ability. Talent
is a good thing, but fidelity is a
better thing. God rewards faith
fu] people. He said, ''Be faithful
unto death and I will give youa
crown of life”’. This scripture
quotation does not mean that we
are to be faithful just as long as
we live. The literal meaning is toi
be faithful up to the point of
death. Be faithful enough to die.f
A man is entitled to whabeveri
comforts he is able toenjoy as!
long as he travels the road of§
duty. On the read of duty Abra-l
ham had servants, camels, and
wealth. On the road of duty Elijah
stepped into a heavenly chariot
and went home without dying.
On the road of duty John the
Baptist lost his head. On the’
road of duty Paul found ai
dungeon and went around with a/|
bloody back. Let’s stay on the!
road of duty and anything thati
we can find in the way of com
fort, it will be all right for us tog
enjoy it. It is when we step off
the road of duty to enjoy hhe‘
comforts of life that wedo wrong
and suffer the consequences. ;

" In Louisville last week Gov
ernor Talmadge made the state
ment that it wasn’t his intention
to oppose Senator Dick Russell
two years hence, neither ¢id he
want to be commissioner of Agri
culture of the United States. He
just wanted to be governor for
two more years after which he
would retire to his wife’s farm
in Telfair county and live the
balance of his lifeat ease hunting
and fishing. This looks a little to
us like a bid for the support of
Raussell’s friends. The governor
is getting to be a little scared it
geems but this statement won’t
help him to any great extentas
the Russell supporters have
pever feared Talmadge as an
opponent.—The Clayton County

Georgia is principally an agri
cultural state. That is a greater
portion of her population reside
on the farms in the rural sections.
But the farmer everywhere is
coming to realize that his prob
lems cannot be sclved merely as
a farm proposition. ‘Like the in
dustrial worker in the city, his
life is controlled by the same
economic laws of the social sys
tem, and only as this system is
changed from the present basis
of production for profit, to a
system of production for use,
wherein the producer shall re
ceive the full social value of the
product of his labor, only thus
can farm problem be solved.
The millions of farmers now
enueified under capitalism, must
realize that there can never be
lau abundant market for farm
products, until society sincerely
‘ proposes, that the worker shall
consume abundantly, and also
guarantees to all the workers
incomes sufficient to purchase
abundantly.
For a long time we have advo
cated public ownership, not only
of the banks, utilities and natural
resources, but also of the farm
implement factories, and the so
called middleman instrumenali
ties; that is those iandustries
engaged in processing and dis
tribution of farm products which
under private ownership rob the
farmer by buying his crops be:
low cost of production, and sel
ling them to the consmer at
prices several times as high.
The one family farm is both
the home and the job of the
farmer. Both home and job can
be made safer and more remun
erative when farmers through
their own organizations, plan for
agriculture, instead of submit
ting to the present choas. The
farmer desires the security in
the tenure of his farm, which
serves as both his home and the
means of his livelihood. To this
end we propose use as the only
title to land, This will not effect
the title of farmers who now
l farm their onw lands.
Therefore the farmers immedi
labe demands should be made (1)
lThe shifting of the burden of
I taxes from farm and homes, to
l incomes, inheritances and excess
profits. (2) The taking over by
the federal government of all
debts on fa'ms operated by
| working owners and the reduc
| tion of interest rates to the actual
‘carrying charges. (3) The crea
!tion acd encouragement of co
rtoperdt,ive federal and state mark |
|eling agencies with a view of
i}eliminabing that bane of the
| farmer’s existence—the middle
| men, (4) The fixing of prices of
| farm products in proportion of
'Ebhose products of industry by
| representatives selected by the
| consumers and working farmers,
*‘ This I submit would be a well
;i rounded program which is
| worthy of the support of all farm
Fl workers. Later we shall consider
r‘itin detail ina discussion of each
51 of the items suggested in the
blabove demands.

continue to be in strict accord
with the national and state ad

Wherein Judge Pittman
, Showed Rare Courage
CARTERS TRIBUNE-NEWS
An Editorial
“What follows is about the
|now famous Rowe case!
| "“We write this editorial with
yout any suggestion from Judge
| Pittman or his campaign mana
gers—simply as a matter of right
and justice. We havealways tried
| to handle such matters from the
standpoint, -
“A great majority of the good
people Bartow county regret
|exceedingly that political capital
|is sought to be made out of an
official act of Judge Pittman is
|connection with the Rowe case.
We are naturally more or less
familiar with the facts. We were
convenced at the time and are
still of that opinion that Judge
Pittman did - the brave and
courageous thing, and we can dv
nothing less than commend him
for it.
“Here are the cold facts:
“The plaintiff in the case Made
No Claim of Rape, until weeks
after the attack; in fact, not un
til after her husband was in
formed after he had come down
to Cartersville to court, that the
negro could not be executed un
less there had been rape!
"Further—
“ The plaintiff, hereself, told
neighbors, soon after the attack,
that she had not been rape!
“She made no such claim to
the doctor who treated her
wounds! The doctor will vouch
| for this statement!
“There was naturally much
surprise among her aeigbors
when i% was claimed by the
plaintiff that she was raped!
“'We confess without apology,
that, like every white man in
(Georgia, our natural reaction is
like unto theirs, When a negro
cuts and beats up a white womau.
no method of death for the brute
is too harsh—we feei that he
should be killed, and that with
out much ceremony or legal
hindrance, for that matter.
“‘On the other hand, we know
of no more horrible condition to
obtain than for a judge of a court
to allow a man to be executed for
a crime that judge is thoroughly
convinced he did not commit!
“Our greatest protection, as
all right—thinking people will
agree, for the peace, order and
well being of the people, lies in
our courts and their administra:
tion of justi:e—justice to the
poor, the rich, the high, the low,
the friendless, as well as to those
who have wealth to command the
best legal talent obtainable.
"God saye us from the day
when a judge, sworn to ad
minister the law fairly, and im
partially, renders a judgment—
or refuses to render a judgmnt
—in any case because of fear,
favor or affection!
“Judge Pittman simply did
what he believed was right. We
believe the facts in the case
|amply justified that coneclusion!
| He rendered the judgment ac
| cording to the law and the facts
a8 he saw them. It is safe to say
here, that he must have known
it was not the popular decision,
and that might latter hurt him[
politically! Neverthelese, he did
1 his duty, and the record speaks
| for itself,
| “Thank God for a Judge who
| will not let political considera
{tions control him!
.| ““Thank God for a judge who
/| will render the right, fair and
correct judgment without fear
| or favor.
