FOR YOU, MR. FARMER
A man who resided on a .\'m'lh!
Carolina farm sold his place in lhutl
state two vears ago for nine Hmusan(l,
dollars and came to the W, E. Foud
place at Pinehurst, in Dooly mnm,\'i
and went in to work again. The oth-}
e’ day he put out the tires, got hisl
halongings together and planned to'
return to North Carolina. e had
done his‘hesl two years and nad lost
five thousand dollars farming here. |
He told this to his friends. He
knew nothing of the Crisp power de.
velopment. He gaid he had no place
to #ell any but the staple crops from
his farm here, In North Carolina he
sald he had more than provided for
the farm expenses out of the produce
crops he had grown--that the peonle
all over that country had factories
and people to buy what he raised, His
staple crops were clear--and he made
money farming in North Carolina, He
was going back where he had made
his money-—that he lost farming here,
_That thing has heen fone over and
over again in this section, Good
white farmers have lost and lost and
iost here till they have come to the
point where they cannot afford to
lose any more, They say that over
’aml over again. They will tell you
this if you ask them—good farmérg
}who know what the reward of thrift
and hard work ought to be. They
’l;cl nothing but losses, no matter

GETTING ACQUAINTED
We got acquainted with a man
from Vienna the other day who:
informed us that he had made
$4O at a pie eating contest last
week: when we asked him
whether he took first or second
prize he exclaimed: “Neither;
I'm a doctor.” We want you to
get acquainted with our bat

AN INDUSTRIAL POWER
b EDITION !
Tifton Gazette:
The people of Crisp county are
arking the voters of Georgia to ap

election next Tuesday, authorizing
Crisp to issue bonds for the purpose

“industries and homes of the county.
The amendment must be approved by
the voters before Crisp can vote

project.
‘ "In promotion of the project, the
Cordele Dispatch issued a very at
tractive “Industrial Power Edition”
on Tuesday setting forth some of the
‘ advantages that would acerue to Cor
dele and Crisp county if the amend
| ment is authorized and Crisp de
velops the waterpower. The edition
!-cohtaine(l twenty pages and was lib
{ erally patronized by the business in
terests of Cordele and carried a
number of interesting grticlos from
f pcople of prominence telling of the
fadvantages that would accrue to a
.tommunity having an abundance of
;chean electric power for industrial
" and home use. i :
i' ¢*While the voters of the state at
‘large are interested to the extent
' that they must approve the amend
| ment before Crisp can vote bonds for
! {:he waterpower project. they are in
terested only to that extent. Whether
or not the bonds are to be voted and
sthe‘potvé'r plant put up must be decid
i ed by the voters of Crisp county.
