There are complaints against the
run-over primary rule. We would
like to register ours, too. We could
have first and second choice in the
first primary and thug end the fight
in one election. That's the way

; It is kindly to think of us as being

that just developed in Georgia, But
our happiness isn’t that of one who
shrould sit down and fold hands. The
task is but just begun.
For example, in Jerger's paper of]

we find this expression; By

. CRISP'S FINE FAIR
You are wholly out of luck if you
have gone thus far without any in.
terest in the fine falr which is go-
Ing to be held in Cordele this month
a 8 a result of a general effort all
over the county to make the show
a 4 most excellent one, It has every
promise of, being a very large and a
most representative fair, It hag been
made up thus far from all sections
of the county and when the gates are
opened the public is going to find,
more than likely, the most nearly
ideal county fair Crisp has ever held.
We cannot pass this effort without
taking note of it, Those who are
making this excellent fair for us
shrould have the heartiest apprecia
tion from .all the people of the coun
ty. We can but feel that they will
have, “for their work is the rounding
out of a very large task., Only those
connected with the fair in its various
forms-—only those responsible for the
showing—can tell what it takes to
make a good fair.
We cannot pass the fall season
without these fairs, They are in
many directions of vast importance to
ud. We have the fair grounds and
plant and now there ig 1o exeuse for
fatlure to give all the c’&ou:g;an ops

IT IS A PUBLIC PROPERTY
, The Crisp county power plant, as
it has bcen planned and offered for
approval of the voters of the state
Is the creation of the minds of a group
of the best lawyers in the community
combined with the business judgment
of a group of the best business men
in Crisp county. It is not the pro
duc.t or the pet hobby of a 4 spec
iald. ‘lt is the hope of aB t%epre
fiptative citizens of the;glco " that

everybody from one side of &’H coun

The power plant which will give

electric current will belong tif;;xll the
public. The men who fi’ill_me res.
ppnsible for its success or;g,(_;}tullm'e
will be the county commisglqflé}rs and
four citizens of the county ép large.
These will be named by tKfl: grand
jury——and renamed when thdi{'fi terms
are out, This will give us a' board
of control which is directly responsi
ble to the people—the people of the
whole county.
When the people of Crisp county
vote for the amendment on November
2nd, they will at the same time ap-l
prove the bonds which will be used to
build the plant, When a majority of
the voters in the November election
have thus voted for the amendmlen,\t',

inf we know fit the businels world is

Nobody ever heard of one in bunk-‘
ruptey, None ever sold, so far as
we know, at less than twice what it
cost to build. We want this plant,
Our industrial requirements call for
it. All north Georgia is a net work
of power lines—and great industries
are coming and locating in that sec
|tion, South Georgia will take a long
‘:imu vet to acquire all the hydro
clectric power it needs—but it is here.
It only needs development. There
fare many more power sites undevel
lnped and unclaimed. They will find
':nw\amrs to give their earnings to

' it is taking the power develop

'growing., There can be no mistake in
gdo\‘t‘lnpiug all the hydro-electric pow

‘llv:n} do will add more to the creating
Cof desirable locations#ffor mills and
L'k‘au-mries. And when we have them,
lwo will have both industry and a
muiket for our local farm produets,
for we will have people here at home
who will use what our own farms
can offer,
} We are happy over the thought
that the plant we are after will be
loug to the local public—to all the
‘citizens of Crisp county, That is 2
fgreat advantage and will remain one,
‘We have the right to make the rates.
}Thls is a great advantage because
it does not make it necessary in the
handling of the business of thig plant
to go before the state public service
