THIS WOULD Be GREAT
If 1T EVER HAPPENED
Our Lost Mountain Correspondent
Has Day Dream of More
Farm Help
Bv A. N. Mayes

DR.. C. A. Wikle said he thought
that when the weather faired up the
merchants ought to close up their
stores and help the farmers plant
their crops. We are expecting this
to happen any day and we thought it
might be well enought to parcel out
the jobs best suited to each fellow.
John Fowler and Ed Allgood would
be good hands to lay off corn ground,
and Dan Anderson, Mack Fowler and
Oscar Shaw, of course, would want
to run the cotton planter. Homer
McCleskey would feel at hime with
the guano distributor; Fred Dunn
would want to bed potatoes, Jud
Ward and Geo. Griffin could plant
Ipeas, Marvin Norton could bring
along some of those keen cutters and
work on the stove wood pile, Jim An
derson could feed the cattle, and Of
course, Tom Florence would want to
feed the hogs.
Newt Medford could tote in stove
wood Charlie Ward and Will DuPre
would make good water boys if they
didn't fish in the branch, Tom Hicks
and Esmer Billiard could feed and
curry the mules, Will Florence and
Joe Hardage would want to work in
the flower yard, DIR. Wikle and Tom
Read could hoe in the garden, Demp-
sey Medford could furnish sweat
rags and pick blisters. Mac Hodges,
John Collins and Johnnie Griffith
would want to dig sassfras sprouts to
get the extract. Gus Benson would
want to ditch in the bottoms, Dunklin
Reynolds could look after the har-
rows teeth. Walter Sans and Ralph
Northcutt could milk the cows, Doyle
Butler, Arthur Delk and Fred Ward
could ride the tractors and Luther
Benson could rock the crows out of
the watermelon patch.
C. Kincaid and Martin Griggs
could set out '"tater" slips, Carl Med
ford could ring the bell for dinner,
Ed Murray could get a few snap
shots for the Country Gentleman.
David Comfort and Otis Brumby
could lecture the crowd at dinner
time on Glow to Farm" Doctors
Benson, Nolan, Blair, Minis, Malone,
Elder, Donahoo, Parkinson, also DR..
Harris and half dozen more rubbing
doctors could bring out ambulances
in the afternoon and get them back
to town and repair the damages.
Surely wonderful things are hap
pening in these days.

The faculty at Georgia School of
Technology in Atlanta has recon-
mended to the Board of Trustees that
a Department of Mechanics and De-
partment of Automobile Engineer
ing he organized. The first depart
ment has become necessary because
of the rapid expansion of the classes.
The second is to meet the insistent
demand for automobile engineers in
the South's rapidly growing indus
tries.
One hundred and fifteen of Geor-
gia's $50 counties have students en-
rolled this year at Georgit Tech in

although provisions are being made
for so per cent increase in enroll
ment, there is every indication that
many students will of necessity be

lack of facilities for handling more
than 1900 or 200 students. Students
wishing to enter will do we'll to fine
their applications soon.

Simp Jackson, and arrest him. We
heard good citizen say he met Simp
on the streets of Atlanta a few DAYS
ago.
When the Executive Committee
consolidated the vote, and it was of
fically declared that Watson carried
Cobb, Judge Morris made speech
before them, stating in substance as
follows:
"Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen:
voted for Palmer. If Palmer had
carried this county, we would have
insisted on strong Palmer delega-
ton to the state convention. If
Smith had carried it, the Smith fol-
lowers would have insisted upon a
strong Smith delegation. AS Watson
has carried it, he is entitled to a ST.
mon-pure Watson delegation. His
following has agreed on a delegation.
l hope you will elect them. 1t is
nothing but right that you should do
So"
George Welsh made talk endors-
ing the same sentiment. If you don't
believe Watson got such delegation,
read the names of those elected, pub
lished elsewhere.
Herbert wanted to make certain of
getting on the winning ticket, so he
could go to the San Francisco con-
vention. He snapped from Palmer
to Smith in order to go, and for 9th

brary on Tuesday has resulted in the
collection of $415.00 in cash, and
pledges for $1135.OO, making a total

AFTERMATH OF THE ELECTION

We didn't win on every ballot we
cast, but we came mighty near it.
A majority of the voters have spo
ken. Take your medicine and smile
whether it suits you or not.
1t was bitter dose to some of the
old line politicians for Hugh Moore
to be elected County School Superin
tendent. Hugh is live, progressive
teacher. His character is above re-
proach. He will put new energy into
our schools. We predict that he will
make an excellent School Superin.
tendent.
The last minute campaign cry by
some of the would-be political bosses
to defeat Hugh Moore was the claim
that Judge Morris put Moore into
the race; that he was Morris candi.
date. Well, whoever put him in
seems to have pleased the voters, fol-
they not only elected him, but they
carried twelve out of the nineteen
precincts for him.
Herbert Clay started out for Pal
mer for President; wrote letter
which was published in one of the
daily papers in the interest of Pal
mer. Just before the primary, Hoke
sent for him, and he snapped over
to Smith and supported him. If he
had known that the county was going
for Watson, he would probably have
gone to Watson, but Herbert didn't
know for certain, and he therefore
can't claim that he carried the coun-
ty for Watson.
Deputy Sheriff Tom Sanders made
the statement, after the election that
he was going to sell his negro pool
room. Amen, Deputy, Amen. Let
it be a genuine sale, and to negro.
Don't camouflage it to a white man.
To show the people that you appre-
ciate your nomination, our advice
would be not to sell it at all, but to
close it for good.
No wonder Hoke didn't carry Cobb
County-he had such heavy load to
carry; Herbert, Tom, Otis, and a
bunch of little Toms. That was some
handicap. He did we'll under the cir
cumstances.
AS the primary election is over
and Simp's brother, Tom has worked
faithfully and voted, and Sheriff
Swanson is safe in office for another
four years, we very modestly suggest
that Sheriff Swanson execute the
