A garbled 1930s Thomasville column discusses politics, taxation, road funding, and public affairs. It mentions Bobby Jones and Gene Tunney, Al Smith, Dempsey, and Roosevelt, with references to Georgia agriculture, newspapers, and travel infrastructure amid a conservative local tone.
The piece outlines a government push led by agencies under President Hoover to pull savings from banks or homes into channels of trade. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation will loan two billion dollars to stabilize banks and liquidity, easing credit and reviving business while noting public confidence and legal penalties.
The essay argues Lincoln faced intense southern resentment due to the nation’s civil war, portraying him as a victim of violent and fanatical opposition. It reflects on Reconstruction’s cruelty and claims a different path would have emerged if other leaders had not exploited postwar aims.
The article discusses the acquittal of Allen in Pennsylvania for the murder of Francis A Donaldson over an alleged betrayal of a sister. It argues the case centers on the deadly unwritten law and notes public bitterness and perceived conflict with formal law. It suggests the unwritten law remains beyond the reach of real law, with parallels to Hawaii.
The article advocates a campaign to teach land owners in south Georgia how reforestation can boost incomes with minimal cost. It highlights abundant pine and hardwood, rapid forest growth, and the potential for dividend paying investments beyond cotton lands.
A proposal suggests dissolving or trimming certain government bureaus to reduce overhead and lower costs for taxpayers, with a focus on eliminating redundant programs and streamlining operations.
In a cautious display, Al Smith in a top office hints he may be used as a last option. His stance appears more flexible than usual, signaling potential strategic flexibility under mounting pressure.
Senator King of Utah sits in the senate chamber during budget days, known as the watchdog of the calendar. He personally screens and often holds or advances private and public bills, carrying 25 to 30 measures home each afternoon to study late into the night, asserting sole responsibility.
The article portrays Senator King as a detector of bills on the floor, who rejects or approves measures with a snap. He keeps watch on the reading clerk to ensure none slips through. His obsession is river and harbor projects, studying thousands of government engineer reports from Washington's era to today and vowing to not vote for such projects again.
