SENATOR WALTER F. GEORGE
PRAISES CRISP COUNTY MOVE
" _ FOR INDUSTRIAL GROWTH
“Despite foilures and disappoint
lli"ehts, farming is still our chisf
business. The evils of a one ecrhp
gystem are admitted on every hani
When 2 people of fair intelligence
and information fail to break away
ffl)’m a system of certain economic
i_lavery, there is a reason. One vea
lon is the absence of near bLy
markets for feed and food products.
,'f‘he profitable market is a neces
m condition to well balanced farm
i:ngf 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
¢ost of the long freight haul. In
dustrial centers in the south rela
tively smalil though they may be,
Mean necar by markets for poultry
produets, for pork products, for
green vegetables and fruits, The
near by market in the long run
means a balanced system of farmine.
< 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 rapid 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 ferritol'y now embraced in
. Crisp county, I cannot be indiffer
ent to any serious effort to develop
the resources of the county. It i
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-
MILL OWNER IS LEADER
~ IN FIGHT FOR LARGE POWER
PLANT UPON FLINT RIVER
Mr. P. F. Fitzgibbons is presidentl
of the Crisp County Board of 'l‘rade.‘
He is head of the Beechwood Band‘
Mills, a company which distributes
many thousands of dollars each year
among the people who furnish timber
for use in the hardwood 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 .m.'m._‘
a hard worker and carries a levelf
head into his daily task. \
" He has been one of the most cn-‘
thusiagtic . supporters of the power}
preject from the outzet. Three yearsl
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 offer nothing I think
would be a wiser industrial moveg
for Crisp county than the Flint River
power project which we are seekingg
to build, I shall go to the polls on
November 2nd confident that the
good citizens of Crisp county have
their faces set in the right direction,
bound to lay the foundations for |
great business prosperity in the fu-i
ture Crisp county. :
“I should explain that the people
of Cordele have many good reasonsf
for Dbeing extremely entliusiastic
. about the power development. Wef’
hear it intimated that Cordele will
derive a great deal of henefit fromi
the power plant, That's true — I“
think it will do so. But the cou,n,ty“‘
will likewise do this. Cordele and'
Crisp county are o wrapped up natu.!
rally, the one in the other, that Crisp\
county cannot be poor and Cordele
rich—nor can Cordele be poor while
Crisp county is rich. There can ba
no great industrial growth in Cor

Crisp will necessarily bring indus
tries to the county and section.
These will not only furnish payrells,
but will provide markets for farm
products not now grcvn on Crisp
county farms or else allowed to 2o
to waste. Such industrial develop
ment as will at once follow will not
mean immediate commercial prosz
perity, It is the bcgim‘xing. It will
teach the lesson which we must learn,
and that is, large gross returns from
the annual cotton crop will not at
this time nor in the future lift us
which will provide healthful, all the
vear reund markets for what is pro
duced on Crisp county farms., Three
mills with weekly pay rolls of five
thousand dollars will provide the
spending money all the year around
for every farm in the county. This
is not overstating it. And thesa
farms - will not have to maintain
peddling wagons in the mill'a.istricts
to do it, Thegi will be able to sell
taeir 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 type of expansion.
That is the real secret of depression

has given a great deal of time to
acquainting triends all over the state
with the hydro-electric power plant
in Crisp county and has urged that
the cause be supported,
“In every case,”” Mr. Jennings

We have seen marvelous.development occur in
the past few years in the southeast. Georgia is
directly in line for much of the mijll and factory
investments which are coming this way. Our
home county, Crisp, taking advantage of the nat
ural water power facilities here, has gone out to
develep and provide industrial power. Legislation
has been passed and an amendment approved by
the general assembly. This will go before the
people of Georgia on November 2nd.

CRISP COUNTY POWER PLANT
We ask our banking friends throughout the state to say a
kincdlv word and go early to the polls on November 2nd and see
that this measure gets a friendly deal. This wili give us the right
to build a fourieen thousand horse-power hydre-electric plant on
Flint river and bid for industries in this community and section.
All Crisp county is enthusiastic and up and eager to go for
ward. We have the strong backing of the great majority of the
people who will have to bear the burdens of expense if there are
any, here in Crisp county. They are willing to make the dash.
They want to develop for larger indusrtial activities and this power
supply is an urgent necessity.
To our friends at home we say this word of warm apprecia
tion. You want this power development. We need it as we seldon
ever will need anything for development and material assistance
to all of us. Let’s stand by it and vote .for it on November 2nd.

stated, “I have a response favoring
the proposition. All those of my
business firiends over the state who
have responded to my requests have
been enthusiastic in their willingness
to help, Our greatest difficulty is
here at home with people that have
been misinformed by the agents of
the power trust which is opposing
us, They have frieghtened the tax
payers with the unjust and untrue
claim that they will be burdened to
death with added taxes. :
“Our power' plant fniances itself,
If it doesn't—and if it doesn’t make
money besides, a great deal of it—
then we do not want it. We are go
ing after the power development
with our hearts set upon prosperity
here in thig county. 1 find great en
couragement and enthusiasm in my
fight for the plant in the fact that
the large and representative tax pay
