Every merchant here doing busi

write that house and ask what cauced
the fight on the Ciisp power umeml-l
ment in Chatham, May be some of |
those who get businessg from thist
gection might find cut who is runnlm;‘

letters of protest have already gone. |
Merghants here are:mot waiting for;:
the traveling man to come for his |
order. ‘ ‘
The people of Crisp are gratful forl
the support they bhad from Alhany‘
and Dougherty county in their fight
for their power development. 'l‘hn:’
includes the iriendship shown hy thgl
Albany Herald. That paper warns
that there are two possibilities. Wo
are to a man determined that there
ghall ha but one—only great suceoss,
SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES
The people. of Georgia wil) b:'i
watching developments in Crisp (-uun-l
ty from this date. ‘AI eyes will be|
won the power-development.: While we
build, there will be thousands of iu-‘
quiries and many interested people
here. We have, tremendous advan
tages in the method of developing
power and (lislrihu!ing’n to the pub
lic = far more advantages than the
competing p(iwer company which'
fought us to the bitter end. ()nr'
cwn people should store confidence inl
these great mlvanmgefl,‘ for we have
them. It would take a great (]nall
of space to recount all of them, i
The first and possibly the most im-l
portant, is that of being able to makv!
our own rates. There is no w:m'l!
of appeal. We are the highest :m.i
thority. "The public service commis- |
sion will have nothing to do with u:;.g
Then our property cannot he tu\.nli
at any time so long ag it belongs m!
us. That is another very great ad- |
vantage, We count these two vn;m_\-!
important factors, They will turn in|
our favor a thousand times over amll
o'\'\;l‘ again, l
Our rates can be made to draw in-;
dustries to this county. They \\'ill?
come into Crisp to get them, Out- |
side, we could not extend such ad-'
vantages. ; '

AS TO STEAM PLANTS J
The editor of the Qbserver in'!
Moultrie was a friend to the ('ri-.',)!
power amendment, but he talks nh;)‘-.n{
investigating the Steam plant. Snch
investigations have already Jeen
made here and over this munt'ry h.\"
skilled engineers, KEconomisty as & |
result have placed hydro.(\lect}"ic pow-!
er at the lowest cost known/to man
kind. The crude oil vngilm;‘lms been
placed second in the rankd cof powe:
‘At cheap cost. Steam comés further
Ib the line, J '
But a steam plant ‘,u-su‘l like that!
in Moultrie saves— fiu\'t,'xln great deal
of money when a community -has tu'
fight the power tirust.: Moultrie, we
can imagine, has henefitted a g::'m\‘
deal from having owned ite steam
plant. It has thus been enabled, ini
one case alone which we know, t(v’
buy power at a cost far less than|
that prevailing in Cordele, ;
For street lighting, for exnmple.l
Moultrie in the past has been able
to get the same amount used in m«!
streets of Cordele for $1,980, where-}
as this town was paying, and Is still
paying $4,812, Cordele has qeveri
been able to pay for a white way in
its streets. We hope we have one
now--have it before a single ' soul
_wbo_sunnorted the, Crisn, power. de.
| VICTORY—~ONCE MORE!
| The news today cinches the vic.
élmy! Crigp county has won its fight
tior power development on Flint Riv-
I' r. Thix was conceded yesterday and
gz\g‘uln today, but with - no definite
ffacts to buck up the conclusions
‘wnclmd. Today with 108 counties re
rported and the Crisp amendment
|holding a lead nflumnroximmuly ton
lthuusund vetes, the issue iy settled
i ~the victory is won and we may
kunow it,
l How that mnews oirikes! 'The
f\'histlna and the bells and the fire
:n-m:ku and--and those terrible auto.
;muhile horns! We wish the outside
world could know whai great news
that really is to the people of Crisp
county. There isn't any -genter in
Georgia that could he more happy,
’ And our friends over the state, too,
'wlll be happy, we are sure, They
}l’nught for us like good feliows—it
’tz‘Ok it in/ many counties to win,
Those who today are taking part
in the celebration in Crigp county
today feel .M.L‘zt tliey have made a
great move for husiness growth and
expansion—and they have. It was
their tack, 'l‘lmy did it well. 1t will
ha ‘que of the high spots in the his
tory of this community for many,
many years o come, “
WORKING TWO WAYS '
Those who have gought to give
this community an essential for start
ing idustrial growth in an abundant
basic power supply are now engaged
in laying their plans wisely in two
ways, They are seeking to get a
carefu; and a wise start on the ac
tual censtruction of the power dam,
and at the same t,\hw they ave going,
wisely about the businoess of selling
their pnwe:" ‘sup.x)']‘y 'éo that it will be
taken when the plant is ready. Both
these mow_\g,~ are now essential and
they are wise, "% /
There are enough good levei-head
ed business people in this county 'to
do the job and make an abundant
success of it. We have no hesitancy
or doubt in writing that. To be gure,
it is a vather large communiiy task
~mest llkvly‘tho largeet this wmmu-‘
nity and county have ever haa u\,mnl
them. It is vitally imporiant, We
have belleved it is—and wethave ast
our ballot in the right ‘divcetion.
Aiu_l ’.bucuu:w \;"uuxv:ut )w:i L‘x:s" bal

conclusion anywhere that we. got i
in a low orderjof politics. 'That tyne

‘ The citizens of this county must
stand loyally together in their fn
ture plans. There must not be the
lzsli;:hh:al taint of p\\l'sz;nmiit.’cs in the
i:-:«-loc;i(m of the remaining four men
on the power commission to make up
iz!m working bedy which 'will build
'mui operate the Wwv.r plant. = Those
four are to he selected by the grand
[jur.v and the three members of the
’llmx'rd‘ of county commissioners will
cnmifiote the seven members of that
[w&idilg body., The four men chosen
will: lils,q,ky-xu:aw_,fqti terms, one, two,
rlhrm{ and fou'r_._\jea‘rs.‘ :m:! then one
each g’ear‘nnmadf‘{w the grand jury
ifor a term of four years.” This will
)keep the body out of politics d&nd at
the same time never place an: ens
tively New commiggion in chgrge ol
Ithis vitally- important enterprise.
I We belisver the commission which
!wo ouglt: to. select and. entrust with
;me business of selling the power
'nm‘.m to be named now s 0 thatithey
‘may ‘go to that task and stay with
it. We will be able to sell our pows
er supply., There tsn't any dbubt.}
about that. 'But\vil},eh we have &
!r«mr:;e, #uch Lody of mon will have
to act purely out of their interest in
the (success of the power dpvclpp.
ment” In the Jaw there is no pro
vision for such a body of men—and
this sclling commisgion could only
work under and for the power com
mission in selling the power while
the power commigsion is busy build
ing the plant,
We want enough power sold when
the wheels turn to pay every ex
@cuse and bave a surplus leff in the
treasury, IHalf—less than half— we
will have wil a'mnl_v pay all (:xpmi’-er;
af the lewest possible price, and theu
ghow a profit, a surprisinglv las;«
profit. We must stand loyuliy by
those entrusted with the dui’ 5 in
connecticn with the plani, for wa arc
expecting to gtart éreat, developments
--start them carly. There wn't any
thing ahead of this county now, Hut
rapid development and the coming of
great industrial wealth, That is as
gure as time passes,
Savannah’ ofien comes here and
makes claim to our good will and
friendship. But when she conies, she
;comes in her Bunday clothes with
‘her best pmformn{s shaking hu}ulé
and dispensing a fine type of behavi
or. She did that once upon a ;gimxi
asking for support of the state port.
She got what we could give—and she
got support for her Tybee amend
ment here. Stuff like that makes
Savannah a kind of a reputation over
the state—the opposition. developed
against Crisp in Chatham Tuesday.
GEORCIA AMENDMENT
Atlanta Constitution:
The people of Georgia are to be
congratulated upon the successful
ratification of all the constitutional
amendmen.ts. : '
By this action this state will now
be returned to the federal vital sta
tistics area. ‘(ieorsr_ia, with her er
cellent health record, her low child
mortlaity, and her freedom practic
ally from epidemies, can now have
the government officially report the
same. 4 ke v
Of preat importance also is the
fact that the gov_ernor, with an in
creased borrowing capaeity, can pay
the ¢chool teachers prombtly, tnd
save them from the penalties of dis
counting warrants.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
to validate the levy of a special
"one mill school tax is of the utmost
{ lmportance.&
- The success of the Crisp county
bond amendment by which thY
wasted ecnergy of the Flint river
may be harnessed is of the greatest
economic interest to that entire see
tion of the state,
© It is highly gratifying that all of
the amendmente were ratified.
- ABOUT STEAM PLANT
Moultric Observer:
The writer * voted to authorize
Crisp county to incur debt and ex
periment with building a hydro-elee
“trie ptaat on the Flint viver: Whenl
he did this it was a fecling that ifl‘
he lived in Crisp county he would
not become a supporter of the move
until he bad ecarefully investigated
the cost of producing electriéity in
Cordele by the method of a modern
steam plant, Some wonderful thifigsl
‘have heen done in the past few years
towards reducing the cost of {pr_q»dqp_s
ing electriicty: with. steam. Steam
plant is not an piperimeut. .. 15
more deyendable than h.\’dr,o-electricl
?QWpr We are not saying that the
‘water petver plant will not eventua!- l
ly prove a good investment. We are
digsposed to question the claim *.lmt!
there will be assaying in cost suffi- 1‘
cient to cover the annual intcrestl
payments on the bond issue, , .
