“The Forgotten Man”
SR
News stories from a cotton
meeting recently held in Mem:
phis,Tenn ,list the tenant farmer
as the ‘'forgotten man.” Evidence
presented at this meeting seems
to justify such a statement.
Cully A, Cobb, head of the cot
ton section of the AAA, while
not discussing the merite of the
plea for the sharecropper, said
he would see that the provisions
of next year’s AAA contracts
“‘are enforced to the letter.”
One prominent speaker at the
meeting said, ''if} we degrade
any section of the population we
put a ehain on every section of it.
Sharecroppers do pay taxes be
cause some of mine haye gone
barefooted so I could pay the
taxes."”
Someone is responsible for this
condition and it is not the Presi
dent of the United States. It
may not be due to any local con«
dition in the setup but some
where down the line there seems
to be discrimination in favor of
the landowner. Whoever is re
sponsible for this condition
should be punished. To say it
will be credited next year will
not give clothing and food to
these poor unfortunate share
cropper during the coming wint
er. Their children may go hun
gry and half clad during a cold
winter while the condition is dis
cussed.
If the AAA has been used to
the disadvantage of the poorer
class of farmers and Mr. Coub
makes a partial confession of
that fact when he says he will
see that contracts ‘‘are enforced
to the letter” next year—then is
there no way to help the ‘‘tors
gotton man'’ who has raised
cotton and cannot sell it unless
he pays more than one half the
price as taxes, while his children,
who picked this cotton, are hun~
gry and barefooted?
If Mr. Cobb has any idea this
condition exists he should do
something now to relieve the
unfortunate. Do not wait until
next year when some of these
*‘forgotten men’’ may have buried
a poorly clad—underfed child. —

~ GEDRGIAS CHAMPION
e HOME TOWNS /
Bobby Jones in golf —Ty Cobb in baseball — Georgia's
first victory over Yale — Tech’s triumph over California — the
Crackers in the Southern league — those names and those
accomplishments stand out in Georgia’s pride of champion
ship. All the world hails a champion!
Which are Georgia's champion home towns? The Georgia
Power Company has decided to find out. A total of §10,000.00
in prizes is offered to the winners; not to individuals, but to
the towns themselves, for use in civic, charitable or educa
tional activities.
What is it that makes a champion home town?
A CHAMPION HOME TOWN IS A TOWN WHERE
LIFE IS MOST WORTH LIVING!
It's a town that is rich in peace and contentment, in oppor
tunity for pleasant hours with friends and family, useful
leisure, prolonged youth —all those things which go to make
up real, wholesome joy in life, while life’s duties are being
performed and its obligations are being met. It's in the HOME
that these blessings have their origin and their being.
What single factor, today, has done most to bring ease,
new leisure, new comfort, new economy, new brightness to
the home?
The answer is self-evident: ELECTRIC SERVICE.
It is upon this recognized truth that our one-year contest to
determine Georgia’s champion home towns is based.
Think of the many ways in which your town might benefit
from one of these prizes! Equipment for a new park or play
