CIAL LANDMARKS OF THIS
SECTION
The regular chapel program on
Friday afternoon was given by the
music pupils of Mrs. E. M. Morgan.
The eighth grade held a debate
in its extra curriculum period on
Thursday. The subject was, “Re
solved that it is correct to chew
gum in school.” The negative side
was declared the winner.
Both the 9th and 10th grades
gave Thanksgiving programs in
their curriculum periods.
The 10th grade held a class meet
ing on Friday and decided to> give a
weiner roast on the night of De
cember 7th.
The Plum Branch School will dis-
fniss school on Wednesday after
noon until the following Monday,
to allow the students and teachers
to enjoy the Thanksgiving holidays.
The National Exchange Bank of
Augusta is one of the oldest finan
cial landmarks of this section. It
was organized in 1871, and for the
past sixty-three years has grown
and kept pace with the ever-
changing conditions of agricultural
and industrial development.
During these sixty-three years
this institution has never failed to
meet the demands of the people,
and as the demands for credit and
other banking facilities increase it
stands ready to meet your full re
quirements.
In order to meet these^ require
ments and give this section the
banking facilities that it needs,
they joined forces with the oldest
Trust Company in Georgia, and
through their affiliations it has
become a great banking, group, giv
ing the Southeast every banking
service required by the people.
This Bank will welcome your
business, and give your credit re
quirements every consideration.

tion:
“Are you in favor of continuing
the Bankhead Act for next year
(June 1, 1935, to May 31, 1936)?’’
A footnote to the question ex
plains that “continuance of the
Bankhead Act means that a tax
will continue to be levied on the
ginning of cotton in excess of the
allotment made to meet the prob
able market requirements.”
Eligible voters, as defined in the
Act, are those “persons who have
the legal or equitable right as bwn-
er; tenant, share-cropper,'or other
wise to produce cotton on any ^cot
ton farm, or part thereof, in’ th£
United States for the crop year
1935-36.”
The referendum is provided for
in the Bankhead Act, which speci
fies that it will be continued in ef
fect for the crop year 1935-36, if
the President finds and proclaims
that the economic emergency in
cotton production and marketing
will continue to exist so the appli
cation of the Act with respect to
the crop year 1935-36 is iihperative
in order to carry out the declared
policy of the' Act.
