MACE RE ELECTION
AS DISTRICT CLERK
Prelude: Abide With
A TRIBUTE TO ROBERT E LEE
Today we want to remember, is
Robert E. Lee's birthday.
He was born January 1!), 1B07.
We want to remember Lee as a
distinguished American General,
commander-in-chief of the Confed-
erate army in the Civil war.
As a tribute to Lee on this Janu-
ary 19. 1938 we would say as Benja-
min Hill once said. "He was a foe
without hate, a friend without
treachery, a soldier without cruelty,
and a victim without murmuring. He
was a public officer without vices, a
private citizen without wrong, a
neighbor without reproach, a Chris-
tian without hypocrisy, and a man
without guile. He was a Caesar with-
out his ambition, Frederick without
his tyranny, Napoleon without his
selfishness and Washington without
his reward—Editor.
J. E. Hamilton has announced his
candidacy for re-election to the of-
fice of district clerk, subject to the
action of the Democratic primary,
BASKETBALL FLASHES
* Last Tuesday night at the Baptist
College gym in Jacksonville, the
Grange Hall boys walked away with
another victory by defeating May-
delle boys 17 to 8. Although the girls,
who played the same night were not
victorious, they played one of the
closest and best games of the season.
At the end of a very close game the
Grange Hall-Maydelle score stood 9
to 9. It was not until the end of the
second play-off that Maydelle girls
were finally successful in making 3
points which made the score 9 to 12.
What a game!
Friday night the boys played Rek-
lawattheSaculgymandattheend

Going about the duties of his office
quietly, he has developed into an ef-

for attention always are dispatched
quickly and efficiently.

In order to determine the real ef-

WHO MADE THE FIRST

The Ear] of Sandwich in England,:
who was so great a gambler that in]
order to save time he is said to have
formed the habit of putting a piece
of meat between two slices of bread,
which he could eat without leaving
the gambling table. Hence, so the
story goes, the name "sandwich."
according to the total tmmbcr of cul-
t.vatable acres on oach farm without
regard to the amount of cotton the
farm may have produced in the past,
in the same proportion that the na-
tional total number of cultivatablc
acres to be retired from cotton pro-
duction bears to the average national
total number of acres planted to
cotton during the factor period: com-
puted on the average national cotton
yield per acre as a basis, on a com-
mon fixed ratio, with a reversible
graduating scale for acreage j-cduc-
tion on each individual cotton farm,
agreeable to the base per acre yield
already accepted by the Administra-
tion for such farm.
For example, if a farmer owns or
rents a farm with fifty acres of till-
able land thereon that could be
planted to cotton, and the average
yield of lint cotton per acre of the
acres formerly planted to cotton on
that farm has been )he nation's
