around by Leeshburg and Americus
and then to Cordele when it is onl_\';
35 miles straight through to Allmny.i
“Hyory time the lightning hits, we
fllosn out and stay out. |
We have a right to put in a plant
. elaso to all the lands in Crisp coun
. ty. We have a right to put in high
‘tensiou wires that will give service
Mbfiwuson and out. We have the
right to sell our power at any price
o‘fi'r power commission makes, We
pay twelve cents a Kilowat now, At
. one cent per kilowat hour our plant
can earn half a million dellars a year
-3t one cent-—one twelfth as much
as we are paying the power trust
That's why we want the right to
i)ulld and operate—it is a great mon
~ey-making enterprise -~ even though
“S¥e put the power down so low that
any industrial interest may come and
use it with great profit. Our en
ginecers are not snides and snoops.
They have Been in the business for
iyouru ~ building the dams for the
power companies, They earn great
sums of money. Why not Crisp
county?
We have a right to distribute our
power here at home for the advan
|(agen of local industries—talk about
rights! We have so many rightg that
!lf the power companies permit us
‘m build and sell our power here nti
home, we will have so many indus.
trics that they will either have to
come down to our figure or close upl
show, We have a right to offer pow-. |
cr to an indugtry at a price that will
pay to come here and build and usw‘
;
Heretofore the power combine has
made us but a small way-stauon.’
I'hey have carried all the larger in-!
idustrlca closer to the power sour('o.i
lor example, Albany has build large
ly since its power dam was huilt.!
Cordele hasn't added the large In-i
dustrial plants to which it is ontltled.i
Talk about what the Crisp county
power commission can do-— what ltt
cannot do- It can do so many thlngn]
ludvnnmgeous in the upbuilding o(!
thig county that the power cumpnny!
is frightened—greatly frightened, lt‘
is spending moncy, a great deal of‘
In. here in Crisp county, to defeat us |
because if we build and develop ourl
‘Do‘e_l“ aqplflyf;y!e will stand to a
ffl}i‘&(“&@w&&d over the yower com-‘*
;blne in attracting industries, They
do not want us to have f"them. They
'want to continue to take them into
their field and supply them powar,
~ We want something with which we
T can bring growtk. Thea we will have
a county which can be developed in
{m a garden spot on all its farms and
‘markets will be here at our doors.
for what we can produce—even to the‘
cotton, We want Crisp county folks
owning and operating these tactorlest
and mills. They can if we have the'
power source with such an advan.
tage over the outside world ag to'
make it a paying business to operato‘
the factory here. '
Our power commigsion will be
made up of the three county com-!
missioners, chosen by the peonle
every four years, and four (-nizexm}
named for four ycra ierms, but se
lected one every vedl biethe grand
jury. None of their terms will ex
pire at the same time with the oth
ers. The power commission will not
be new at any time. It will h:m-;
a change of personne!, one person
each year. That commlission, while
chosen by the people and the grand
jury, need never be in polhlcs——willj
not, The grand jury will control in}
the naming of four—one each year.‘
The people at the polls will name
the county commissioners, These nn(li
the four citizens chosen by the grundi
jury will make up the power mm-‘
mission, and the law makes it possl-i
Ple for this commission to handle t'hoi
power plant as one individual, law
fully, as a business organlzatkm;
would. They will handle it in busi
lev:}s manner, }\"e have the very besti
possible method in naming them. We
:huvo'ievery reason to bolle"g'c we will
havo'a body of good buninoss men,
careful, conservative, lndu‘;succeuml}
in their 6wn business to handle our
}:u‘[;xirs. ‘Wo certainly‘_»havc a bo:u'dl
of county commissioners whose
isplmuli(l services we should appreci
ate in all their conncctions with our
'lcoumy affairs, Many a thing they
!lmve done speaking silently, but sure
‘:ly for honest devotion to the wel
;fun- ol the county on their part. It
’\\'Hl be the same with the power
! commigsion,
i Of course, the power commission
will not suit the power company be
'cause they don't want any power
{ieumm!ss‘,nn. They are out with the
gvity commission in Cordele becausc
|n would not sell out to them for a
iporiod of twenty-five years—recent.
il_\- they had a fight over it and they
| were told where to get off. They
‘have no franchise now in Cordele,
!Tho_\' have none anywhere else in
“.:m,\' adjacent town or city that is
‘worth a dime. They claim Vienna
iund other places when they argue
with our voters ahout where we are
going to sell our power— they say
g!lwy have these placeg all bought
| u. They may but it is their con.
'lrau‘t -~ not ours-—that isn't worth
anything. They cannot buy Vienna
!up for 25 years, They cannot buy
'any other town up that long. Tho
constitution of the state of Georgia
?prcvenm a town from becoming their
‘victim for that long—or for any oti
i er period, Now, their agents go ovt
;und tell you we cannot contract Tc:
inur power to gell it. We can do that
“when we get ready-— a sight mor:
~casily than they can. We have o
specially provided form of legislation
which the people of Georgia are go-}
ing to approve in the general electlo;xl
at the same time we vote our bond;'.i
—that legislation aids us materially |
in many ways—even to exempting
our plant from taxation as long ns!
the tax-payers of Crisp county m\'::‘
and operate it, !
Our power commissgion will ‘
all the power it needs to have :_(.l
give this section one of the fines:
power devclopments in the state, Wc ‘
know that. The power companyl
agents know that, That's why thcy}
zo out and migrepresent the facts to
our voters to save them from havlnr-,"
such a splendid power development
here in their way. Shame on them!
Shame on any Crigp county tax pey
er who will go out and fight their
fight! Although our plant is located
in Worth county, that county can
not, tax it. Neither can the bonds
fi'gxull to build and fniance it —
veitfigr can they be taxed anywhere.
Neither can the tax . burden ever
drop upon ‘the ‘EHotlders of the tax-i
payer in Crisp.. The pfiaint must and
will ‘finance tself. 1f we find it
cannot, we simply will not build it“
—and we will' know before we start.l
We know now, but we will be madei
dddbiy'sec!\ire—we will be carefully
insured against any losses before wé4l|
go. The tax payer may be sure of‘
that. He has no risk or loss facing
him. On the other hand he hasg in-l
dustries promised with payrolls dis
tributing money in this county—and
for that money the farmers are{‘
bound to find better chances to sell
their products, It ig true everywhere;
else. It will be true here, And
finally, instead of a tax burden, this
county will go tax free when we get
the wheels turning, Mark the pre
diction. We are willing to stand by
it—we are not going to run away.
Wo pay our taxes here, too, just as
vou do, Al the darger tax payers
here are for it. It must be right,
They know, let's stand for the pewer
plant snd go forward for a chance
at a better income for schools and
other pablic institutions—ior a bet
ter county.
TAXING THE NEWSPAPERS
Iditor Vaughan of the News-Re
porter at Washington, Georgia, pro
poses tax exemption for newspapers.
The argument is that every news
paper in the state worth calling a
‘newspnpor. gives anywhere from a
;thousand to ten thousand dollars a
| yoar in free service to the public in
w advertising the state and its various
| good causes.
" \Well, we dgree that the newspaper
~TROUT

is ridden about as much as any of
the free horses, There isn't any end
to the calls made, to the apepals for
this and that good movement or
cause, They keep the newspaper
man on thé jump zll the time—and
they say nothing in .:ash Teturns,
or in anything clso tuat will meet
the pay rolls, It’s this frece and that'
free and all of froe some of the time.
The newspapér man who cares about
the welfare eof his community, sec.
tion and state is a mighty busy man
in all the directions he should deem
worth while,
But for all that, newspaper proper
ties should not be exemptzed from
taxation any more than any other
clags, If we exempt new industrics,
then it is not amiss to exempt the
new paper—if there is room for it,
for it is an industry, Dut the news
papzr has no more claim on exemp.
tion freoin regular taxation than hasg
the farm or the mill or the factory.
We do believe that special forms of
taxation should not fall wupon the
newspaper, such as license, or special
clasg legislation in any form,
tflnd we do plead in all sincerity
with those for whom the home pa
per does its best work for all good
causes that they should spend their
money for printing in the home plant
as long as the opporturity for value
and good uervice’ are ebual. The ten
percent man with the grip—the sales
man from the big town—has no right
to claim the printing so long as thd
heme ncwsi?upet., can do it. That’s
where we would like to come im
come strong. Then we could come
up and pay our taxes like others, on
‘the day they ‘fall due. T 8
Girls no lonzer kigs and make up,
if they do the maxe up ¢ all off.

Gassaway, Tenn.—“l wasn’t able
to do any of my work, and it seem

Cardui could do, so she told me to
take it. I scnt and got a bottle, and

stronger,
, . “I had been suffering with Cpalm
in my sides all the time, and Cardui
helped this wonderfully. I needed
a tonic for fernale trouble, and Car
dui just {itted the need. I was awful
ly restless and could not sleep at
night, but «fter taking two bottles
of Cardui ¥ could sleep ‘like a top’.
I got along all right, and Lknow it
was due to Carciui. I can certainly
recommend it to women suffering
{from women’s troubles.
- “My present health is just fine.”
Theusands of women have written
to tell how Cardui relieved them of
pain and suffering, and helped them
to improve in health and strength.
