HEREAFTER.
I usually drive my own car. but
on a recent trip when I had to
speak from one to six times a day
and had to drive some days as
much as five hundred miles I
took a colored boy with me as a
driver. When we were leaving
Atlanta one morning I said to
him, “Will, where did you spend
the night? Were you in a Chris
tian home?” Will replied, “Dr.
Jones, I stayed in a boarding
house with a good old woman.
There were lot of us colored
people there and this old woman
called us in and said, “Boys, I
always have'family prayer before
I goes to bed at night and I would
like to have you come in.’ Dr.
Jones, you should have heaid
that woman pray. I never can
get away from it.’’ I thank God
for the g;cd Christian colored
people in this co”ntry. The more
I travel in the South the more I
am convinced there will be a
great many colored people in
heaven. Many colored Christians
will be in the front seats with
shining faces because, down here
in a world of sin they loved their
Lord and were true to Him.
The Communists have done a
great deal in an effort to break
down the loyalty of the colored
people in the South. I hey have
not been successful. The old
gospel which was preached to
the slaves by the great preachers
in the South brings forth fruit
today in the lives of the children
and grandchildren of tne old
slaves. The greatest preachers
the world ever saw since aposto
lie days were the preachers in
the South from fifty to seventy
five years ago. This country
needs moreof theold timegospel
power that characterized the
ministry of those men.

CRAVEY EXPECTS
TO PROTECT FISH
Atlanta, April I.—-A warning
against persons fishing during
the closed season —April 15 to
June I—in Georgia was issued
today by Zack Cravey, state game
and fish commissioner.
“We are going to make every
effort possible to see that people
do net lisih in Georgia waters
during the spawning season,”
Cravey said.
“It is impossible to have good
fishing in Georgia unless fish are
allowed to spawn; it’s as neces
sary to the sport as hatching
chickens is to the poultry in
dustry.”
The commissioner pointed to
the copy of a bill enacted by the
legislature this year, giving
courts full jurisdiction in impos
ing fines on violators of the game
and fish laws. Under the old law,
fines were within the limits of
$25 to SIOO. Under the new, the
limits were stricken.
Cravey said he had instructed
his game protectors to pay
strictest attention to fishing out
of season, and to make cases.

TALMADGE VETOES 163 MEASURES
AND OKES FOUR HUNDRED BILLS
Atlanta, March 30—Vetoing
163 bills and resolutions passed
by the legislature, Governor
Eugene Talmadge this week
established a record for himself.
Two years ago he vetoed 53, as
well as his staff could recall.
During the warning days of
the 1935 session, which was ad
journed a week ago tonight, the
governor loafed along as bills
came to him in dribbles. For the
first three days of this week be
took things easy, until stacks of
legislation, representing every
thing the general assembly had
done, Hooded his office.
Thursday he pitched in, scat
tering bills right and left. Work
ing stubbornly, he salvaged the
ones he thought were good and
discarded those he deemed bad.
Shortly before midnight he rose
from his desk and shrugged out
this:
“I’m going into the country
for a few days rest.”
Aside from the 162 vetoed
measures, he left behind him
approximately 400 new laws to
be entered on the statute books
— local and general.
Among the vetoed measures
were seven proposals to amend
the constitution, 52 bills of gen
eral significance and 103 pieces
of local legislation.
Crammed into the waste basket
were porposals over which legis
lators spent many weary hours,
such as the old age pensions,
free school books, highway re
funding certificates, for public
works loans, sterlization. the
union seven months school term
and others.
His veto of the old age pensions
measure, proposing a consti
tutional amendment authoring
the legislature to fix a uniform
per capita tax for pensions,
promulgated the only attempt in
the general assembly to over
ride him.
The house did so with an over
whelming vote, but the senate
quietly accepted the veto. This
occurred in the last days of the
session.
Other proposed amendments
vetoed were:
To create a fifty second seta
torial district out of Fulton (At
lanta) county.
To exemp for 15 years from ad
valorem (property) taxes all
paper or wood pulp industries in
Georgia.
To let the legislature classify
property for the purpose of tax
ing intagibles. This amendment
was later included in a proposal
approved by the governor to limit
to 15 mills the over all tax on
property.
Authorizing Richmond and
Bibb counties to make temporary
loans.
Creating a $5,000 salary for
another judge of superior court
in Richmond (Augusta) county.
Three free school bills fell
under the governor’s pen during
the Hut ry Thursday. One of the
pet measures sponsored by
House Speaker E. D. Rivers, it
was to have been financed by
revenue from tax on legal beer
Beer for Georgia is not settled
yet, for the people must decide
the issue by referendum May 15-
“It puts an idle gesture on the
statute books,’’said the governor.
There’s no money for free tex
books yet.
Under the other school bill,
the state would have operated
common schools for seven months
। out of each year, on a uniform
• scale, based os pupil attendance
and teacher qualifications.
“The state superintendent of
schools would be his own budget
commission instead of the money
for the schools being paid out on
the governor’s warrant,” Gov
ernor Talmadge commended.
Counties would have been per
mitted to borrow some of the
$4,880,000,000 to be spent by the
federal government in the public
works progarm under the vetoed
measure allowing them to put up
highway refunding certificates as
collateral.
“Those certificates are to be
used to retire bonded debts
created oy couties for roads and
bridges construction,” said Tal
madge. “This bill just turns
them loose.”
The state assumed a $26,000,000
debt owed the counties by the
highway department, and this is
to be paid off at the rate of 10 per
cent per annum beginning next
year. The certificates represent
this debt.
A board of eugenls to sterilize
feeble minded persons and the
criminally insane would have
been created under the Arnall
Dyer sterilization bill.
Even the Thompson bill mak
ing death the maximum penalty
for ransom kidnaping was dis
carded.
The governor displayed no
choice. When a stroke of the pen
he vetoed a resolution naming a
highway from Atlanta to Savan.
nah “the Eugene Talmadge High
way.”
“I might get on the chain gang
some day, then what would be
come of the highway?” was his
comment.
He vetoed bills seeking to
establish a factory for the blind
in Georgia, to outlaw Com
munistic activities and to put
down sedition.
He said the last two were good
bills but that it was too easy for
them to be miscostrued and
thereby to “infringe on free
speech.”
The “bootleg” gasoline tax
bills, which was designed to stop
up a $500,000 leak in tax evasions,
went via the same route. So did
the measures making owners of
dogs have them innoculated
against rabies, and providing for
county boards of public welfare.
Some of the other general
measures vetoed were:
To license resident and non
resident fur dealers. A similar
measure was included in the new
general tax act signed by the
governor.
To pay accrued pensions of
Confederate soldiers at their
deaths, to their estate.
To allow the superintendent of
banks to omit semiannual ex
amination of banks or trust com
panies not ) eceiving deposits.
To refuse admission of evid
ence procured illegally against
criminal defendants.
To allow the governor to vacate
state offices where holder is em
ployed simultaneously by federal
government.
To incarcerate females under
18 years of age in the Georgia
training school lor girls rather
than at the woman’s prison at
Milledgeville, when convicted for
misdemeanors.
Tj outlaw use of lights for
hunting deer and other game at
night.
To outlaw possession of seines,
traps or nets for fishing.

CHA SCHOOLS
Washington, April 4 — Relief
Administrator Hopkins today
doomed Georgia’s plea for aid
for schools of that state unless
Georgia takes action to help the
schools herself.
“Georgia hasn’t done a
damned thing for herself or
for her schools,” Hopkins said.
“The legislature adjourned
wiibout doing anything. I think
it would be a good thing if the
State of Georgia did something
for itself.”
Hopkins made this assertion
after M. D Collins, State Super
intendent of Schools, had con
ferred with relief officials in
charge of educational aid on a
program calling for 2,500 million
dollars FERA funds to pay
salaries of teachers in rural
schools in more than 100 counties
of the state.
