GEORGIA TO BE NAZtFIED I'nlike the terrified Austrian* who have bent their knees to the will of Adolph Hitler, loyal and liberty loving Georgians have been aroused to arms by the dictatorial efforts of President Roosevelt to punish political leader* of his own party in this state, who have dared to oppose some of his New Deal policies, such as his Infamous court pac king proposal, and are deeply resentful of the aspersions cast upon this state and the entire South In his recent public address at Gainesville. Georgians are mindful of their role of host, but they refuse to be terrorized by any visitor who comes In the guise of a Hitler or a Mussolini bent upon subjugating an enlightened people and making them subservient j to his power Straining under abuse hurled at them from Gainesville, they (rise to inquire" "I'pon what wheat i has this our Caesar f>-d that he has grown so great?'! ; Corning to Georgia on a purportedly if: lend!* mission, the President has (turned to bite the hand that feeds J him. His efforts to punish Senator j George and other opponents in the ! South were plainly manifested in his | utterances at Gainesville. Instead of s proving beneficial, his speech, which i might have struck a more responsive ! chord in New England or some other ! sections, has tended to unsettle the labor situation in the south by unfair wage comparisons and stir up race j_anlmositics by unwelcome suggestions. Jof compromising modifications in the ' anti lynching bill. I The Roosevelt speech at Gainesville lis a striking example of how an individual Imbued with lust for unlimited I power subllely attempts to pull the wool over the eyes of a people under the subterfuge and pretense of injuring blessings upon them. 13ut the Presidents efforts have not shaken the faith of Georgians in the Judgment of such men as Senator George, who sees the falaclea and the dangers that lurk In such measures as the !court-packing proposal.?S a v a u n a h I Morning News Negro Learns Value of Feeding His Hogs St Matthews. April 2? Jim Brown, negro farmer of lone Star, Calhoun county, learned this spring a profitable lesson on the value of selling corn through hogs, a practice which County Agent Colin McLaurln says all Calhoun farmers, white and black, might follow to advantage. So agree j the extension livestock specialists Jim Brown came into my office the middle of January requesting me to help hltn sell some corn and pigs,"! says McLaurln In telling the story. "I suggested that Instead of selling corn and pigs he feed the corn to the pigs. After I explained the principles of feeding and the possibilities of making more by feeding, Jim agreed to feed the hogs under my instructions. "As he didn't have money to buy fish meal, I got the ^ank to furnish him $25 00 to buy the 'flslr meal. "Jim put twelve hogs on feed on January IS, when the heaviest pig weighed 120 pounds. He followed feeding Instructions closely On Feb ruary 26 the same pig weighed 208 pounds. "Eleven of these pigs were sold on March 2 in Orangeburg for $8 <>0 per hundred, bringing a net check for $156 45. This was $f?l 00 more than he could have got for the pigs and the corn consumed Deducting the value of the pigs at start and the fish meal consumed, the pigs paid a little above $1 25 per bushel for corn. Na-j turally Jim is well pleased and has paid his note at the bank " The teaching of the Portuguese language Is now mandatory in Rio Grande de Sal.
