POWER ATTORNEYS'
THOSE RESENTING FIGHT ON
CRISP COUNTY DEVELOPMENT'
HAVE SENT THEIR COPY DBACK
REFUSING TO PUBLISH, ’
The citizens of Crisp county awoke|
Tuesday morning to find that the
power company attcrneys have flood-|
ed the state with rank missmtomcnts!
trying to impress the people of Geor-i
gia that the citizens of Crisp county'
do not want their power develop
ment, They have sent out advertis
ing under ‘the name of Hon. J. S.
Pate—advertising which Mr. Pate has
never seen—in which they urge the'
defeat of the power development here
in the election next Tuesdap. (
These power attorneys have like-‘
wise bought large advertising space
from Lewis & Coffce, an advertisingf
agency in Atlanta and placed copy!
with them in which they are.broad-;
casting over the state the false claim|
that Crisp county people do not wanti
their power development and there isl
nct enough use of electric power in'
Crisp county, all told, even to pay the!
interest on the bonds which will have!
to be sold to build the power plant!
on' Flint River. They further urge!
that these citizens, which thep have‘
faked from start to finish, have
pleaded with their chairman of the
county commissioners, Mr. Pate—who
isn’t even a member of the board
of county commissioners—to get into
this fight and save the county from
bankruptcy. The advertising agency
has written the meanest string of
false statements possible to ‘thinkl
cut in a personal letter to the weckly!
newspapers of Georgia in which itl
urgeg activity to defeat the Crisp
r'%unt; ar‘nendment. ‘
s \‘,‘l;‘.%, here, fullp ninety percent
' strong, who are fighting for the pow
er amendment and the bonds, strong
ly resented the underhand, dishonestl
misstatements of facts by the power
attorneys and have sought to advise!
all Georgia that they are going tol
carry both the amendment and Lhe‘
bonds by a large margin on Tuesday!
and the fight now is to overcome thef
thousands of dollars the poivcr com-}
pany here is spending to defeat the;
effort of the people of Crisp county.

COUNTY FAIR OPENS TONIGHT
FOR GREAT SHOW THIS WEEK
CRISP COUNTY FOLKS INVITE'
THEIR FRIENDS TO COME AND |
ENJOY GREAT DISPLAY. !
The Crisp county fair is open tof
the public, This is the first day. To- !
morrow the merchants parade at‘
eleven o’clock, headed by the Twen- !
ty-Nninth Infantry band from Fort
Benning, will be the day’s chief fca-'
ture This will be followed by a groat:
cotton pageant in the fair grounds. |
The inclement weather today broke i
and there is indication that thore
will be good weather. The crisp, fal!
weather will be fitting for the wholz
show, it is hoped. Today every littie
detail is being whipped into line and
the great show will be in fine form
tonight when the thousands of peonle
pour into the gates to take their first
look at thes how.
President R. L. Dekle and those!
who have given him assistance in’
making this a very fine fair, havc!
expressed great pleasure =2t bemgi
able to make it such a crcditablel
exhibition of what the pcople want |
in the wind of attraction.
The exhibits in the main building
and the live stock show and the poual
try exhibits are all very fine, it is;
reported ahead of time and the week :
is going to prove it to all those who
make a visit to the fair grounds.

at Tourist Camp.
12:30—parade starts from camp.
Order of parade; Seventh street

| Parade will be lead by band from
lFort Benning followed by float ofl
i King and Queen and their attendants
floats of cotton countics, cotloa
states, community and individual
floats and people generally in auto
mobiles.
(:f the power company advertising‘
have refused to publish this and it
Crisp county. The spirit of h‘icndsi
over the state is indeed fine and en-i
couraging to local workers for thoi
cause. It is felt here that the 1)ower1
development as asked for in the
amendment will be passed by the
people of Georgia because they want
to see the people of Crisp county
~havé their right to create the indus
ltrial power which they so much need
to draw industries and grow.
Nearly every representative citi
zen of Crisp county is strong for the
Crisp county hydro-electric power de
velopment and will go out next Tues
day determined to win the battle
with the power company attorneys
here. They feel that this community
should net longer be dominated by
a man who gives his time solely to
republican politics and has not a
dollar of interest in Crisp county
gave that which comes to him as the
employee of the power company.
They feel that others engaged in the
fight are the direct employees of the
power company and are paid for
their activities in defeating the great
cause of industrial development in
Crisp,

COLUMBUS, Ga., October 26—
(#)—Alfred Owen Blackmar, ninety
six, and Mrs, Mary Ann Blackmar,
ainety-five, are making elaberate
preparations for the observance here
in November eighteenth of their
diamond anniversary. Mr, and Mrs.|
Blackmar were married on Novem-;
ber cighteenth, 1851 and have live'li
in Columbus practically all their |

about abundant cheap industrial pow-l
er know that it will be sold as soon|
as the plant is turning and that the
fearnings will prove a great source
‘of public income for all the tax pay
ers of Crisp county. They know that
the plant will finance itself without
a dollar imposed on any tax nayer
and they also know that as a public,
ipropel-ty the hydro-eiectric plant will{
be the best investment in this coun
ty. They are also assured——because'
they know the history of every oth-!
er development of the kind in theirl
reach has been the same—that the
power company will be the first cus
tomer to try to buy the plant. If
they cannot get that, they will then |
be the first people to seek to pur-}
chase all the power. The p()wm"‘
company knows how valuable will be
'the hydro-electric power development!
which the people of Crisp county ure'i
planning on Flint river. l
Their fight, it is now pretty wcll}
revealed to al} the people of Crisp‘
county, is to keep Crisp people t‘rom;
building and having their power sup-l
ply. They know what it will mean
in getting the business interests Ori
this county in possession of a basic
industrial asset with which they can‘
expand rapidly and bring prospcrity:
wherever they can offer cheap pow-f
er in abundance. They know that
this power development wil] give Lhe‘i
people here such abundance of elec
tric power as to make it possible for‘
them to command a tremendous in
dustrial advantage. They do not want
the people here to have it — that
thing' they are moving heaven and
is good for them, the people who
own it now feel that it will be good
for them, too, when it is developed.
There is strong resentment today
over the misrepresentations which
are being made to the people of
Georgia by the power company at.
torneys and agents as to what needs
'are had for power here. Those who
lare fighting for the power suppiy
know that it will abundantly pay its
way and leave a handsome profit for
the publiéd in the form of earnnigs
which the law requires shall go into
the public treasury of the county.
