. AN EXCELLENT FAIR
Crisp county is without doubt of--
fering the public one of ‘the best
fairs in Georgia. Today and tomor
row will bring to an end the best
Qfl'ort that has ever been made here,
It is far ahead of any thing we have
ever seen this side of the gates of
\a state fair—far ahead of most coun
ty and district fairs, This is no idle
“?z@nst. It is but a hurried effort hon
g';gpply to tell the public what 'they
Wnst already know——that this is a
?:llr which is a disinet and ontstand-
Bn'c credit to Georgia, Jet alone
k(};inp coupty. ' ’ v'\“ § 7
~We have special reference to the
?@hibits in farm and live stock, We
have reference to the exhibits made
by the schools. We specially apore
ciate the educational work shown in
‘the various clubs among the boys and
q'g‘rrlu-—!n the corn and cotton clul®
[Among the men, We have to admit
that the hand work by the women
h_‘érr ghown is finer than any we have
ever seen displayed at any fair any
where, A close inspeetion will reveal
;o
Z4The district exhibits dnd the ndi:
widual f;lrlfn exhibite of t)é farm prod
igt»sqar‘e well dsplayed m}d make
g excellent showing in the fair
'@ilding. The poultry exhibit is as
Qod as the state of Georgia can af
{gxfid. We want all these to he used
in future fairs in an educational
éfiqn’er- We want each exhibit to
continue to reveal what s ‘being
done by the more industrious ele
ient of those who are responsible
for the well-being of our farms. This
ir is all that. We think it is dis
‘tirctly educative and as serving the
firpose of the real fair.
i There is no time heer to iive spe
cial eredit to all those to whom
eredit is due, but this county and
tommunity should be under real and
,l‘dsting obligations to those who have
labored for the success of the fair.
Their labors have brought ns that
ddeal condition which must® exist ev
“erywhere that such excellent and
“progressive spirit is revealed in a fair
“of this kind. i .
.- TWO THINGS UNTRUE j
gg'rfie power company whose attor
: enfl*%flflfifi“(l in the fight pn the
rispi‘.cn\w\ty pewer development here
usl")l:g"fi pocifilur form of tactics to
fiay in its effort to prevent the voters
;?l Crisp from endorsing their own
great and important project.
; They admit that they believe we are
going to endorse the project—they ad
mit that they believe the state is go
g to endorse it—and they admit that
they believe we are going to build the
lant and direct its operation with
ood men at the business end of it.
" But they whisper to the voter now
at when this property is up and go
g, the great power trust will come'in
d put on a squeeze—will cover this
rritory with industrial power at a
uph cheaper price ‘than we can a’.
rd to offer and yet maintain our
glant, They insinuate that this giant
ower combine will enter and close
down on us and leove us with a
b;fs;l‘("- on our hands absolutely worth
;J‘é'sé;. "And yet all the time they ad
‘mit tYat they believé we are going to
,’;;uild ‘our rlant within our appropria
yon;and co ahead and.operate it.
0 Thers isn't any more truth in that
}951:\131& n than there is in the nower
_%a;om)mny claim that John S. Pate is
ehaiiman of the county board of com
“g:lssimers in Crisp—that thc really
"?fbpregentntlve people in this county
hn‘t want their power development.
If the great power trust should come
in and distribute power at a lower
rate than can be offered from the
Crisp county plant with still abundant
prefits in sight—if they can do that
‘when we operate a non-ta.}lble proper
ty and have the advantage that ours
is a public property—if they can do
that and are willing to do it, then this
is going to be the most favored sec
tion in all the south for the location of
new industries. Then our plant need
not be operated at all—but ‘each year
will bring to us in industrial develop
ment unlike that going anywhere else
in the country because we will surely
be blessed with abundant cheap pow.
er. ’
But that isn't possible, This town
and county are not on the main lines
of power development laid out in the
super power plans—that’s what they
have told us. The super-power devel
opment is 8o many times larger than
Crisp county in its scope and reach
that this one community is but the
smallest part of a drop in the bucket.
If we get an abundant power supply—
one that is safe because it is ours and
close to all sectiong of the county—we
will have to do just what we are plan
ning—build and produce that power
supply. :
Then again, there isn’t any good
business in the effort of any power
producer anywhere at any time trying
to come to Crisp county to offer cut
throat prices on power suppiles. The
power company which comes to Cor
dele and offers power at a smaller
price than it offers in Albany, Amer
icus, Valdosta and other centers in
the same territory, will have to give
the same priceg in those cities. The
public gervice commission would re
quire them to do that forthwith. They
cannot undersell ys here and retain
high price- elsewhere, The law will
prevent that. But they will not pur
sue such a program as that.
Then, another terrible story which
they teil—tell" early and late—often
and over again—ig that the power de
velopment will double up the taxes, It
wil] not do it——just simply will not do
it. They have not told a soul how it
will do it. They have merely shouted
“taxes”. The Crisp county power de
velopment will no more increase the
taxes of an individual property owner
in this county than it will add taxes
to the county when this man or that
erects a new home on his place,
The power project provides for its
own financing. It will be erected on
its own funds—within the amount fix
od f{or tkat purpese—safely within it
end yet a margin for any emergency—
and will have its wheels turning and
carning money enough to pay its own
way before ever all the bond money is
expended. Those who are behind this
project never intend to allow all the
money to be exhausted at any time.
They will not even start—will not sell
a bond, if completion cannot bhe had
without expending all the money. This
thing is to important for any mistakes
Those we entrust with the task are
not going to fal) us.. We know that,
There will not be any power bond tax
€ B--no po{rdr‘ plant debts, The real
truth is, thére will be some power
plant profits and the law says these
shall go into the county treasury.
That means dividends int he form of
tax exemption for everybody. That's
the real aim. That's the business pos
siblity. That's what we are going to
have in the power development.
ENTERPRISING CRISP
Columbus Ledger: :
News from Cordele is to the of
fect that the citizens of Crisp coun
ty are making earnest eflorts to get
a hydro-electric power development
on Flint river opposite Cordele te
produce 14,000 horse power electric
current for industrial uses in that
county. They are ambitious to have
an electric power line on every pub
lic highway in the county. From this
they expect to supply both farms and
large uscrs in the industries, mills,
“actories and plants.
Next Tuesday the voters of the
¢tte will have an opportunitq to aid
Crisy county by voting for taeir
amendment to the state Constitution.
No expense nttaches to eny section
other than Crisp county, it is said.
These people wish to vote $1.259.000
in bonds for the construction of a
power plant, lines and other equip
ment, which are badly nceded, Lhey
urge, for futre growth and develon
ment,
This appears to be strictly a lacal
measure, and it should have been
left to the people of Crisp ccunty.
Since our undemocratic sygtem pro
vides that the whole peuple vote on
this question, however, then we
should rally to the support of ocur
enterprising friends of the Cordele
section. Certainly they should have
what they want in this cage ;
HELP CRISP DEVELOP
Atlanta Constitution:
Among the proposed const'iutional
amendments to be Voted on ‘next
Tuesday is one of purely a loca! na
ture to the people of Crisp county.
It authorizes that county to izsue
bonds for the sm of $1,250,000 with
which to construet a hydro-electric
power dam on Flint river, opposite
Cordele. It’s submission was asked
for *by the Crisp delegation in the
aggsembly, and granted without oppo
sition. |
Under the provisioa of the amend
ment only the pedple of Crisp hear
all of theta burdens of Luilding
the plant and operating it for the
purpose of supplying’ 14,060 horse
power of .electric current fo. neces
sary indusfiial development. ¢
While it is entirely a Crisp county
matter, and earnestly souzht by an
overwhelming majority of the peopls
of that county, it is nesessary that
the voters of the entire state raify
he legislature’s action heiore Crisp
can be given the author'ty it sceks.
It is earnestly urzed the .voters
of the othér counties join with
those f Crisp in giving ‘hat cunty
an rprtunity for inductrial develop
ment that is at its very door pro
vided the wasted hydr-clectric en
ergy of the Flint is proverly dovel
oped. On this:page is a communica
tion from J. J. Williams, prezident
of thé Exchange Bank, of Cordele.
“All over the county our neople are
enthusiastic for the amendment and
the bonds,” he writes. Thea the poo
ple ‘of the whole state shonld be just
as enthusiastic for the great forward
strides of any community industrial
