SOCIAL EQUALITY
Editor County Eagle:
Since the farmer got through >
shipping the season’s last car!
of watermelons, faim life and
activity has become a sideline in'
Wheeler county.
Politic* have moved up to first
place. This is right because we
are drawing close to the time
when all of us again have the!
right and privilege of registerJ
ing our ideas at the ballot box.
it is very important that farmers I
uid laborers regard e eclion day
as the most sacred of ail:
days, becau.-e that is the da.\
when they take their most im-;
portant part in the government'
of their community. State and
Nation. Tin ir ancestors fought
for that right, and workers and
farmers were responsible for!
extending the right and doty of
voting to all men who were citi ;
zens and over twenty one y< ars
of age.
So it has come to pass down
here in Wheeler county that the
farmers are taking a great inter,
est in politics. They listen to
speeches and applaud loudly;
they talk to candidates and read
i the papers and discuss politics
I with their neighbors over thei
| cross fence between their farm. I
So farmers are gathered togeth
er in little groups of five to
twenty and at many of the
gatherings their muscles are all
knotted up in twitchd stiffness
as their interests are more grave
ly manifested.
The thing that seems to be
■ puzzling these farmers here now
is the fight that is on between
l the Dictator and Little Dick for
; senatorial honors. Say these!
I farmers who listened at the
। speeches of the Chief Executive
at Mcßae, Cartersville, and

Ex-Convict is Sentenced
In Teifair Court for Assault
Mcßae, July 25. —Superior
Court Judge EscholGraham diss
closed today Sheriff John B
Walker saved a negro from an
“angry people” following an at
tempted assault on a 10-year old
white girl ana obtained a guilty
plea at the man’s trial.
The negro, who Judge Graham,
said was listed as Walter Lane,
was sentenced to from 10 to 15
years in the state penitentiary.
“The negro had just completed
a sentence of 12 months for ass
sault upon a white woman in
Wheeler county when he com
mitted this offense,” Judge
Graham said.
"The girl and her little com
panion gave an alarm, frightened
the negro, and he ran.”
Our Thoughts
Dear Friends: The Psalmist
I);-I thought on ray
ways I tramod my feet to thy
testimonials and I made haste to
keep thy commands. " Now it is
t little hard for me to believe
that anyone will willfully go
through life doing the t ilings that
th ’.v kno wto be wtong; then I
•■"member reaaine tho-e words
— fnereis away that seemeth
right to a man hut the end there
of are the ways of death. No
doubt th it David thoughtthathe
.vas on the right path but when
he let his mind branch out into
deep thought he found that he
was wrong and he turned his
life towards the very thing that
he thought he had been doing all
the while, and he made haste to
keep the commands of God.
Dear Reader, did you know
that a thought was something |
that can be weighed very care
fully before turning over to the
tongue to broadcasts? Thoughts
control the body. As a man
thinketh in his heart so is he.
If you think how much damage
you will do your neighbor by
killing his plow horse in the
midst of plow time it makes no
difference how mad you are at
him, I doubt very much if you do
as you have planned if you weigh
this carefully in your mind.
Adammusthave thoughtofthe
.suffering that he brought upon
himself and others too by doing
as he chose to do. We say how
smart and highly educated the
people of olden times must have
been but don’t think that they
were only using their thoughts.
Our thoughts are our servants
so let us put them to work for
us as they did then We can
I write great books and do great
I things that now seems impossi
ble. All things are possible to
him that believeth. Yes, we have
to learn to think to our thoughts
for they are God given. Let your
thoughts branch out as a tree
and grasp those golden oppor
tunities as they present them
selves to us and twelve months
from this day see how you feel
towards me for calling your at
tention to your thoughts.

Russell Should Be Returned
To Senate By All Means
If you are a supporter of the
national Democratic party, or if
you are just an admirer of Presb»
dent Roosevelt, you cannot afford
to vote against Senator Dick
Russell in the September pri*
mary.
Because of his continued bom
bardments against the new dea
and the President, the election
of Talmadge to the Senate would
be a severe slap at the President
used by the foes of the President
between the date of the primary
and the general election in Nov
ember.
The election of Talmadge to the
Senate would be nothing less
than repudiation of the President
and the party by the people of
Georgia and we do not believe
that this will ever happen. The
people of Georgia believe in
Russell. He has served well as
Governor of the state and as a
Senator and Georgia will do well
to keep him in the national law
making body just as long as
possible.—Bartow Herald.
