Seminole Gives President
First 1936 Cotton Bale
County Which Awarded Roosevelt Overwhelming Victory
in Unofficial Primary Over Governor Talmadge
Again Pledges Through Gift
Donalosnville, July 21 —Citizens
of Seminole county, the first to
vote for renomination of Presi
dent Roosevelt in a preferential
primary this spring, donated the
first bale of cotton ginned in
Georgia this year to his campaign
fund today.
Charlie Reynolds, clerk of
Seminole superior court, notified
Marion Allen, the president’s
Georgia campaign manager, of
the gift by telephone. Allen said
the bale would be sent to Atlanta
to be placed on exhibition for a
time.
The bale, weighing 425 pounds,
was grown by D. C. McKellar,
on the farm of B B. Clarke.
Clarke joined with the other
c-tizens of the county in making
the present.
Early this year when Governor
Eugene Talmadge was fighting
against renomination of the
president, the Seminole county
Democratic executive committee
took matters in its own hands
and called a presidential prefer
ence primary. Mr. Roosevelt won.
The primary had no official
standing.

AN ARTICLE BY
W. T. ANDERSON
W. T Anderson, in the Macon
Telegraph, a staunch supporter
of Talmadge, and a c-itic of the
New Deal, sums up in an article
on Talmadges Cartersville speech
a reason for the large crowds
that are reported to attend Tal
madge’s meetings as follows:
“It dosent seem to matter
what Talmadge says, as people
vho hear him are unable to tell
any part of his speech or what
he talks about, for that matter.
They go to the meetings with
their minds made up that they
are going to see and hear some
vocal fireworks, they are going
to be a part of the show and
have a good time. The astound
ing and non understanding sea-
ture is that they will go to all the
trouble and expense of traveling
miles upon miles ostensibly to
hear a speech, when they can
sit at their own radios or listen
to the radio in their nearestdrug
store and get just as much infor
mation as though they were on
the spot There is only one ad
vantage in being present, and
that is the show and to join in.”

WHEELER COUNTY
TAXFREE IN 1936
For many years Wheeler
county has progressed without
an extra heavy tax on its people.
During the entire life of the
county, the county has seen
proper to steer clea- of all bond
issues, and notwithstanding the
fact that since the county was
created, the courthouse and jail
and other public buildingshave
been erected, and even the bridge
portion over the Oconee River
near Mt. Vernon, the county has
never had to issue a single bond
for all this development. And
now we come to a time when the
Commissioner of Roads and
Revenues of Wheeler county has
eliminated for the next ensuim
year any tax levy at all. In othe.
words, the county Board on the
31st., of July passed an ordei
declearing a non-levy of taxes for
he year. It has developed that
■.he county has sufficient monej
)n hand and in sight ahead
joining its way to operate suc
cessfully without a levy this
year. So that the 9 mills that has
heretofore been about the annual
levy is entirely cut out and no
evy is made for the year 1936.
We doubt whether or not there
is another county in the State
■hat can make this extraordianrj
diowing of no tax levy.

COLUMBUS ROBERTS
OVER W S B EACH
FRIDAY EVENING
lit h . g ।, a . .
Atlanta, July 21 —Columbus
Roberts, prominent Columbus
business man,farmer and dairy
man, will present his candidacy
for Commissioner of Agriculture
0 the people of Georgia in a
series of radio addresses over
Slation WSB, each Friday even
ing at 7:45 o’clock, Eastern Time
it was announced yesterday at
his campaign headquarters in
Atlanta.
By means of the radio, Mr,
Roberts can take his message to
nany thousands of citizens who
could not be reached otherwise,”
said Theo. G. Reeves who is
managing the Roberts campaign
“He will devote practically his
vhole time throughout the cam
paign to a tour of Georgia couo
nies, contacting as many people
personally as he can see, and
coming intj Atlanta each week
for his radio talks.”
In his opening radio talk last
Friday, Mr. Roberts made it
Hain that if elected Commiss
ioner of Agriculture he will co
perate with allagencies, Federa
tnd otherwise, for the advance-^
nent of agriculture in Georgia.
My attitude toward the ad
nimstration ol President Roose
vi It is altogether friendly and
cooperative,” Mr. Roberts said.
I think bis administration has
iccomplislmd wonderful things
for the country as a whole and
for Georgia as well.
“If elected Commissioner of
Agr culture, as I confidently ex
pect to be, I intend to cooperate
with the Department of Agricul
ure in Washington, yet at the
same time I will not hesitate to
iffer constructive suggestion and
criticism whenever any program
>f aid for the farmers may not
be suited to the peculiar needs
ind conditions of Georgia agri
culture.
An attitude of friendly co
operation will go a great deal
further, in my opinion, toward
getting good results than an at
titude of antagonism and hostile
criticism. President Roosevelt
from the start of his administra
tion has welcomed constructive
suggestions, and I am going to
feel free to offer them in the same
spirit in which he asked for
them.”
