ELECTION SYSTEM
IS ROTTEN
-Just who is responsible for
the condition th’it existed in the
la> i election ngu. Jng the reg
istration lists of the qualified
voters for the special election
held Wednesday we are unable
to say. But whoever it is sure
ly was not on the job.
The lists that were used
Wednesday allowed every man
who voted in the elections last
year to vote this year regard
less of whether he had paid this
year’s taxes or not. It denied
to those who have registered
since the last election the right
to vote in this election. All of
the young men and boys who
have become twenty-one since
last year’s election were like
wise denied a vote.
The system used Wednesday
allowed more than a hundred
the right to vote who were dis
qualified on account of not hav
ing paid taxes this year. It de
nied many others the right to
vote because they had not regis
tered since the last election.
This is inexcusable, and some
one had not been on the job,—
just who we are unable to say.
But this is a condition that
should never confront the vot
ers of Bryan county at any fu
ture election.
Regardless of what faction a
man belongs to, he should not
have a vote if his taxes are un
paid, and any man who is duly
registered and has his taxes
paid should be allowed to exer
cise his God-given privilege of
voting for whom he pleases.
’ OUR NEW TREASURER
The Journal extends its best
wishes to our new Treasurer,
Joe Lanier. He is a good man
and we feel that he will make
us a faithful and conscientious
Treasurer. We never had any
serious kick on Joe, but felt
that the policies of some of his
political bunch were wrong and
we said so. The people have
elected Joe Lanier Treasurer
and we feel that no faction
should contest his election.
If “Cap” Duggar feels that;
he was not treated right at the
polls, why we do not blame him;
for contesting the election, but
if |he contest is shown to be
Hied through any other reason
we hope that it fails. It is time
for Bryan County to cut out
petty politics.

The music and expression;
department of the Bryan Coun-;
ty High School met on Wednes

pose of organizing a music;

DR. ROUT. VANDEVENTER
RETURNS TO PASTORATE
Dr. Robert Vandeventer, the|
beloved pastor of the Pembroke
Baptist Church, returned Fri
day afternoon aKter spending
his vacation in Newport News,
Virginia. A
As a surprise to the esteemed
pastor, he was met at the sta
tion and ushered to the church
where he found in waiting a
large number of his members
with outstretched hands ready
to welcome him back into our I
midst. After a social hour dur- :
'ing which time Dr. Vandevent
er expressed to theFTnembers
present his delight in being
back, delicious refreshments
were served.
It is with much pleasure that
we are to have the pastor to bd
in our midst again and more so
as he has decided to resine in
At present he is at the home of
Pembroke for a while at least.
Dr. J. O. Strickland.
Dr. Vandeventer is one of the
leading preachers of this State
and the people of this city and
community should feel that
they have had a blessing be
stowed upon them by having
him as their preacher and pas
tor.

BULLOCH FARMERS
IN BETTER FIX
THAN YEAR AGO
Quoting Mr. Joseph S. Brum
ley, one of Bulloch’s most wide
awake and successful farmers,
we find the following deduc
tions as to the present status
! ts he Bulloch county hayseeds.
While the cotton crop is
'short, we a>e getting more
• money for it than we did last
.year, and then we don’t have to
bend our backs so muchSn pick
ing cotton that w^ didn't get
much for.
j The expense so picking and
ginning a larger volume of cot
j ton is an important factor in
i the slimming up of the net pro-
I ceeds of te crop.
Bulloch county farmers will
; get more money for the pres-
ent crop than they did forthe <
one a year ago, and it will cost i
them less money. |T‘ u
For instance, last yeart we
harvested what you might laJJ ;
a 30,000 bale crop; this season i
we will do well if we get 20,0<0
bales. A great many pewie
doubt that we will go 4«r
15,000. i I
The crop is spotted, foij^Kj,
stance, you can see a fairly ■JU
fruited crop in one field
travel a half a mile and KI
at a field that has practi«K>
no fruit on it at all.
The farmers have learnecKW^
lesson and that is they will I | e i
to plant cotton early an * i
it to maturity if they wa, ,j
I beat the boll weevil to it.
Bulloch has just harvest d a ;
I great tobacco crop from wiich!
Lhe has reaped splendid t ';<i
^profitable returns. She . hi’
! a gne watermelon crop am iA,
growers all got good price
made money, especially t' <
who had early melons. Wm er
melons are like cott
early bird catches the worm.
We made a whole lot of f
potatoes and everybody I h e
planted them got good pric s. ‘
The food crops of the county!
were never better. It is aio:
t^at BulJocjAias the best » n- e

Brooks Simmons would rath

TMYankee hp that way like;
the big stem Jerseys because!
t’s a hard potato. They won’t
have a soft potato like the Porto j
Ricans at all.
Mr. Simmons is going to
plant big stems again next yea'X
and he advises his friends to do;
likewise. Even after the crop;
had been all shipped from ( here
telegrams from produce houses
poured in here wanting more.
Tn fact it looks like it would be
a /hard matter to overstock the;
demand.
NORMAL SCHOOL WILL j
INSTALL FIRST-CLASS
HEATING PLAN^
At a meeting of the board of
trustees of the Georgia Normi^
School held at the college or*
Tuesday plans were made to in
stall a first-class steam heating
plant that will furnish warmth
for all the buildings during the
coming winters.
While the bill to provide and
finance .a steam heating plant
and another dormitory failed to
ge through the recent session of;
the legislature, yet the manage-;
ment feel that the necessity for!
the plant is so acute that it will;
be installed witout delay.
The bill of 560,000 per an-i
num for maintenance went;
through, which will take care.
of the operating needs of the!
institution.
— -Thebill to refund to the:
I banks tKe loan on the scholo
। also vzent through, and this
: debt, though one of the state,
! will be lifted, which will leave
the school clear of debt asnd
give them a wider scope ini
which to operate.
It was unfortunate that'
pneans could not have been ob-;
tained for the construction of |
i another dormitory. Under the
: present crowded condition of:
i the dormitories the work 1 ■
i hampered, and Professor Wells |
is unable to spread out like he I
would like to do.
