SENATOR WALTER F. GEORGE
- PRAISES CRISP COUNTY MOVE
FOR INDUSTRIAL GROWTH
Despite failures and disappoint
ments, farming is stilll our chief
business. The evils of a one ecrop
system are admitted on every hand.
When a people of fair intelligence
. and information fail to break away
from a system of certain economic
_ slavery, there is a reason. One rea
;{;flson is the absence of near Ly
markets for feed and food products.
The profitable market is a neces
sary condition to well balanced farm
ing.-' Heretofore the real market for
food products has been north of
Washington City—nearly a thousand
miles from. the South Georgia farm,
Any promise of profit on food crops
is of course swallowed up by ‘the
cost of the long freight haul. In
dustrial centers in the south rela
tively smail though they may be,
mean near by markets for poultry
products, for pork products, for
green vegetables and fruits, The
near by market in the Ilong run
means a balanced system of farming.
A supply. of hydro-electric power
at competitive costs, is the first step
towards industries. This supply is al
ready available in Northern Georgia.
and rdpid industrial expansion in the
northern half of the state is assured.
Born and reared in Southern Geor
gia, passing many years of my life
in the territory now embraced in
Crisp county, I cannot be indiffer
ent to any serious effort to develop
the resources of the county. It is
particularly gratifying to see such
effort on the part of the people of
the county.
Concerning the wisdom of any
proposed development, I can not and
do not speak, but an economic pow-

__IN FIGHT FOR LLARGE POWER
~ PLANT UPON FLINT RIVER
/ Mr. P. F. Fitzgibbons is president
of the Crisp County poard of Trade.
He is head of the Beechwood Band
Mills, a company which distributes
many thousands of dollgrs each year
among the people who furnish timber
for use in the hardwcwd mills, meets
payrolls in the local mills and in
logging forces where many thousands
go annually into the channels of
trade. He is a leading business man,
a hard worker and carries a level
head into his daily task.
He has been one of the most en
thusiastic supporters of the power
project from the outget. Three years
ago in its first start he was entrust
ed with many of the important moves
which were made and he always
brought results where he sought to
do something to advance the cause.
“l could oifer neothing I think
would be a wiser industrial move
for Crisp _cdunty than the Flint River
power fl)rdject which we are seeking
to build, I shall go to the polls on
November 2nd confident that the
_gooii citizens of Crisp county have
their faces set in the right direction,
bound to lay the foundations for
great business prosperity in the fu
ture Crisp county.
“I should explain that the people
of Cordele have many good reasons
for being extremely enthusiastic
about the power development, We
“hear it intimated that Cordele will
derive a great deal of benefit from
‘the power plant, That's true — 1
* think it will do so. But the county
will likewise do this. Cordele and
' Crisp county are so wrapped up natu
rally, the one in the other, that Crisp
county cannot be poor and Cordele
rich—nor can Cordele be poor while
visp county is rich. There can bu
"mo great industrial growth in Cor
" dele that will not distribute payroll

er development worthwhile scale in
Crisp, will necessarily bring indus
tries to the county and section.
These will not only furnish payrolls,
but will provide markets for farm
products not now grcvin on Crisp
county farms or else allowed to 29
to waste. Such industrial develop
ment as will at once follow will not
mean immediate commercial pros
perity. It is the beginning. It will
teach the lesson which we must learn,
and that is, large gross,r'eturns from
the' annual cotton crop’ will not at
this time nor in the future lift us
which will provide healthful, all the
vear round markets for what is pro
duced on Cvrisp county farms. Three
mills with weekly pay rolls of five
thousand dollars will provide the
spending money ail the year around
for every farm in the county. This
is not overstating it. And these
farms will not have to maintain
peddling wagons in the mill districts
to do it. They will be able to sell
their products directly to the stores
where there is stady demand all the
time.
“And in a large way we ought to
be aiming at industrial development,
We need this tvpe of expansion.
That is the real secret of depression
here. This is a fine community and

over other sections. But its seasons
