Gard of Appreciation.
I wish to use this medium to
exress to the voters of Wheeler

the primary election on the 19th,

While the vote did not give me
the victory sought whereby I
could serve you in the office of
Commissioner of Roads and
Revenues of Wheeler county sot
a term of four years, yet if it is
the will of the good people of the
county to have this service rend
ered by others, I have no com
plaint to offer. The office which I
was seeking, is the mo^t impor
tant office that you have in your
county, because it furnishes the
entire financial policy of the
county.lt was on this account
which gave me the desire to
serve you in that capacity, be
ieaving that I could save you in
the administration of its affairs.
However, I beleave that this
department of your countys
business is in good hands, with
Mr. Mcßae continuing in the
office. It might be that in some
future time I will be able to serve
in capacity.
I thank you one and all for the
commendable vote you cast In
my behalf.
Yours truly,
R. G. Perdue.

ers of. the county pure wilt resis
tent long staple cotton seed,
from which they received aOO
point premiun last year by all of
the farmers growing this variety.
Last year’s buyershave already
made it clear that they would
again pay a premium for a simi
lar grade and staple. The mill
owners and the agents that buy
for the mills will come to Alamo

from the farmers at the ware
houses or gins at any time that
we can get a few bales located.
This is an opportunity to co

your staple the coming season.
Another government test run on
this wilt resistant long staple

official test of 80 per cent speaks
in no uncertain terms of this
variety of seed. Call on the Horse
Shoe Bend Farm for further
particulars.

TELFAIR SCHOOLS
I TO CLOSE FRIDAY
t Milan, March 3. —Governor
। EugeneTalmadge’shomecounty,
Telfair, will close its 1935 and
1 1936 school term Friday, com
-1 pleting only six of the usual nine
months, according to announce
ment of the board of education
today. This ruling gives 2,700
Telfair pupils only six months of
school and throws 93 teachers
out of work until next Septem
ber.
In an open letter to the public,
the board stated that the decision
to end school three months early
was necessitated by the lack of
funds.
No school in the county will
operate longer than six months,
although several small institu
tions that started late will con
tinue a few more weeks until
their six months are up.
"In closing at the end of six
months,” the letter said, "we
shall owe to teachers past due
salaries amounting to SIO,OOO
which sum is equal to the entire
revenue expected during the re
mainder of the current school
year.”
The ruling affects 12 schools in
the county, including four senior
acredited high schools, Mcßae-
Helena, Milan, Lumber City and
Workmore.
Teachers are at a loss as to just
what can be done in the way of
promotion of students on six
*
months of work.
Criticism of Talmadge pre
valent throughout the county.
Comments were made about the
new highway that is being built
through the county while its
school doors are closed.
Members of the board of edu
cation who issued the school’s
death knell today are John S
Stamps, B. G. Harrell, T. J.
Wells, D. R, Brewer and M.
Odum.

- “Through faith we understand
that the words were framed by
, the Word of God”. That is a
) quotation from the third verse of
' the eleventh chapter of Hebrews,
f You will note that it doos not say
that we understand the worlds
1 were framed by the Word of Ged
, because we went into alabora
■ tory and studied some chemicals.
• It says we understand this by
I faith. Jesus told Nicodemus, “If
you do not believe me when I
: tell you earthly things, how will
: you believe me when I tell you
! heavenly things’?” Someone has
1 said if a man does not accept
what God says about creation hi
will not accept what God says
1 about salvation. The same book
which says “In the beginning
God created the heavens and the
earth” also says “by grace are
ye saved through faith”. All of
this modernistic effort to tear
out the first, lines of the Bible is
a satanicconspiracy to wreck the
faith of men in the authority of
the only Book which offers salva
tion to a lost world. The religion
of the Bible differs from all other
religions. The religions of the
world say "Do and live”. The
religion of the Bible says, “Live
and do”. The reason for this
difference is all the other religions
began in the wisdom of man. The
religion of the Bible began in the
wisdom of God.
In the old days when they had
religious debates they used to
argue about what the Bible said
They agreed that whatever it
said was so. The c ost serious
thing about the controversy now
is this. Religious leaders are
arguing about whether the Bible
is so or not. The most important
thing is not your Baptist, Metho
dist, Presbyterian, Disciple,
Lutheran, or Episcopal doctrines.
The most important thing is this,
“Is there any authority back of
your doctrines?” Your doctrines
are no good if they are not
authoritative. You fathers and
mothers need not be worried
about your sons and daughters
losing their denominational faith.
You had better get down on your
knees and pray that your child
en will not lose their faith in the
• Bible. That is the modern dan
ger. The Bob Jones College is a
' living demonstration of the fact
that it is possible for Methodist,
Baptist, Presbyterians, Disciples,
Episcopalians, and Christians of
■ other denominations to live to-
I gather harmoniously uniting on
' the simple fundamentals and
accepting the absolute authority
' of the Bible. There was a time
। when if a man said he was a
", member of a certain church
| everyone knew what he believed
■ In this day and time a man may
i| say he is a Baptist, a Methodist,
! a Presbyterian, or a member of
|| some other trinitarian denomina
-1 tion, and at the same time be a

• dist is much closer to an ortho
dox Baptist than an orthodox
Methodist is to a modernistic

Donaldsonville, March 4. —
President Roosevelt swept to a
decisive victory over Governor
Talmadge in a special county
preferential primary held in
Seminole county today. The vote
was 661 to 120. The President
carried every precinct in the
county, city and rural.
Hem in a strictly agricultural
(( section, where Governor Tal
v madge had his strongest in 1934,
a the President was accorded his
। first ballot box victory in his
. campaign for r-electi:n.
y In Atlanta, Marion H. Allen,
s Georgia campaign manager for
j the Presinent, hailed the vote as
typical of the situation in Geor
gia.
v The Governor is understood
{ here to nave said that he knew
j nothing about a vote being taken.
। However, Judge Max L. Mcßae,
j of the state highway board, and
Game and Fish Commissioner
q
Zack D.Cravey were in the county
yesterday and last night urging
support for the Governor.
The vote today against the
Governor was almost a complete
reversal of the trend of 1934
when Governor Talmadge receiv
ed 852 votes to 216 for his two
opponents, Judge Claud C.
Pittman, of Cartersville, and
Aiderman Ed A. Gilliam, of At.
lanta. The county has a popula
tion of 7,389.
■ “I hadn’t heard of the pri
-1 mary,” Governor Talmadge said
in Atlanta. “I doubt if the Tal
madge folks had much of a chance
to get out and vote.”
