By Dean Gordon B. Hancock for ANP

~

- THE SOUTH~S MAJOR PROPHET

The spectacular rise and

fame of former Gov. Ellis Ar
nall of Georgia is easily one of the politi cal wonders of the
20th century world. When Jesus arose in Galilee as a young

prophet of great promise, the people marveled with the query
~can any good thing come out

Nazareth was the Georgia of Pal- |
estine. The people throughout |
this country are marveling about
Arnall, who is fast taking his
place as the souths major propret and certainly one ~of the
most pic.uresque figures of the
times, Arnall hailed -every-. where as a real political find and
hopes are high and rampant thrt
he will fill a place in this country~s affairs.

is

Arnall is not.a political fake
~and counterfeit; he is genuine.
His praises are being sung from
one end of this country to the
other and such. praises~ could
hardly be premature for the critics of the south are too numerous
and determined to over-rate a
~white southerner. Arnall has passed muster and seems headed for
fame like the football lugger who
gets by the safety man and heads
for the goal.

-Arnail spoke recently in Richmond and we.had a chance to
get a closeup of this major prophet of the south. He did not
~~ cast thimself ~as the savior of the
south nor of the Negro race nor
the nation. He merely analyzed
the situation confronting

By no stroke of imagination can
he be called a Negro-lover;~ He
can neither be classes as a politician.

If Arnall is anything he is one
of the great statesmen of today.
His vision is too camprehensive
and his program too far-reaching to class him as a politicial
prodigy. He deals not in those
swecing generalities that too of
ten characterizes our pseudostatesmen so numerous in our
state capitols and Washington.

Speaking from. the _~ subject,
Whose Country Is This Anyhow?~ he finally answered by
saying it belongs to all the people who. nfade it what it is, withOut regard to race or creed. From
~ime immemorial white southerners have boasted that this is a
white man~s country.

Arnall declared that education
would rid the country of such
affiictions as the Ku Klux Klan
and the Colombians and kindred

~ subversive movements. He made
it plain that such heinous undertakings were spawned in crass
ignorance.and education afforded the orly remedy, This ex

south and nation and made~ the;
Negro~s part merely incidental. |

of Nazareth?
school system was revamped and

| rejuvenated under Arnall. What
he had Georgia to spend in improving the public system was
just so much spent to rid Georgia of the ignorance that mothered such as the Ku Klux Klan and
the Colombians and Black Shirt
movement.

When the immortal Roosevelt
would ~call the south~s attention
to it~s greatest handicap which
was its backward Negro population, he did not go directly out
for a program of Negro liberation as some of the more thoughtless and rash wanted him to do.
He merely said that the south
was the nation~s economic problem number one. The conclusion
was inevitable that the Negro
was the south~s ecOnomic problem number one. Then in order
to liberate the south the Negro
would have to be liberated. Just
another way of emphasing Booker TT. Washington~s immortal
saying, one cannot hold another
man in the ditch without staying there one~s self, Roosevelt
had':a' strategy and so has Ellis
Arnall. The efforts he made to
raise Georgia from the education1 doldrums w2s
way of lifting Georgia by~ integrating all of Georgia~s citizens.
Before. the typical ~'Georgia
Crackers~ knew what was going

on Arnall~s program had reach- |

ed sweeping proportions.

Arnall | further said that the
only way. capitalism could hope
to survive the current threat of
communism would be to make
capitalism and democracy better
than communism.. He, faced
squarely the fact that the current attempt to belittle and disparage communism was not the
answer. Only by making democracy democratic, said he, can
this country hope to stem the
tide of communism.

It would be worth while for
the country to spend a million
dollars getting Arnall around
this country to tell plainly and
expressly this one story, for -in
it do we have ultimate hopes of
saving. the world for demoeracy
and democracy for the world, He
made ~it clear and strong that
until America cleans house, her
voice in the councils of the nation will be even as sOunding
brass and tinkling cymbals. A
major prophet has arisen in the

plains why the Georgia public

The Farm Home administra- |
tion made the loan ~for buying the |
land and putting up a new house
at the cost of $5,767 and today,
after less than eight~ years, all
but $250 has been paid.

The modern methods of farming were developed by the extension. service and experiment |
station of Clemson college.

The soil conservation service
set up a plen of soil building and
ipasture building. Eight years ago
Powell raised 33 bales of cotton
on 52 acres of land. Last year
he made 40 bales on 32 acres.

He said he began his farm
wotrk as a wage hand for $10. a
month and spent many years
rdising nothing ut cotton; this;
was quite a contrast from his!
last year~s record as a modern
farmer, owning his own farm and
having an income. of $9,000 of
which $7,200, was from the sale |
of crops, $800 from the sale of

Taste for Beer at Midnight
Disturbed Travelers. ~

KUMBA,~. CAMEROONS, EAST
AFRICA. ~ - The ghost with a taste
for beer, which had been disturbfg travelers for nearly 30 years,
has béen left homeless by demolition of an old rest house here.

Tradition had it that the ghost
was the. restless spirit of a forraer
German district officer, notorious
for the iron hand with which he ruled
the people of the Camercuns.

Known.kefore World War I as
fhe Johann Albrechshohe station,

the haunted.house served as the |.

Prussian-like officer~s quarters, distriet office anc military barracks.

It was built 1,200 feet above sea
level, on othe. lip, of a drowned volcano crater, with ~ wide lake 300
feet below.

In more recent years, the building was turned into a resthouse for
visiting government officials. i

But so many visitors were badly
frightened by the ~creaks and groans
~ of the ahcient tintbers that the place
received. a bad name.

It wag said that the only way to
get a ~Bpdd night's sleep was. to
place a bottle of beer and a glass
on a tray shortly before midnight.
This seemed to satisfy the thirsty

ghost, for he left the occupiers in |
~

peace.~ s

In the morning, according to the
story, the bottle was found empty;
the glass encrusted. with dried froth.

Skeptics who had never spent a
night in, the haunted house had
~amusing explanations for consump~tion of the unguarde4 bottle of beer.

They never could, however, éx~plain why the cap. was always still
gripped firmly around the neck of
the bottie, and never showed any
evidence of being touched psdion tl ~an.
