Tomorrow Cordele celebrates
the opening of her new 14,000
horse - power hydro - electric
plant. Here’s hoping the
South Georgia city hasj «s nice
a day, as Griffin did when she
celebijited her 90th Birthday.
The new project is a monu
ment to the late Charlie Brown,
editor of The Cordele Dispatch,
Editor Brown conceived the
’ project, fought and
for it
just as the actual building op
erations were underway passed
‘ to the Great Beyond.

But if Cordele had erected
a granite shaft to the memory
of this^man it would have been
no more a monument than Is
this great civic development.

We’ll have to apologize to
some of our readers for being
late yesterday afternoon. Pow
er was off more than an hour
and we could not run our
press. About half of the pa
pers had be run off when the
shutdown came.
But our delivery boys stuck
on the job, with their usual
loyalty, and as quickly as the
po’ came back on and they
got their papers, hurried them
out oji their routes.

The farm board announces
that it cannot help South Ge
orgia tobacco growers. But
who expected a Republican cre
ated commission to do anything
for farmers in a Democratic
state? We didn’t! Honestly,
did you?
Of course they have some
"legitimate” reason for refus
ing to help Georgia farmers.

I’m going to take your ad
vice about ‘Seeing Georgia
First’,’’ said a friend this morn
ing. “Where would you advise
me to go for my vacation?”
That’s easy. Why not motor
up to the North Georgia moun
tains? Go to Clayton, or Dah
lonega, or Blalrsville for in
stance. Or stop over at Gaines
ville In the foothills of the
mountain. You’ll find excellent
hotels at all these places. And
you’ll enjoy the climate.
Or if you want to go to the
seashore, why not go to Bruns
wick and beautiful Sea Island
Beach or St. Simons? Or
why not go to Savannah and
Tybee? Or why not go fish
ing to Darien?
There are plenty of places
to take a summer' vacation
trip.

Yesterday we wrote about
some of Georgia’s advantages.
Of course we couldn’t mention
them all. For instance we did
not call attention to the great
educational advantages offered
by Georgia colleges and uni
versities.
There’s Emory, Mercer, Ogle
thorpe, Georgia and Tech.
There’s Wesleyan, Bessie Tift,
Brenau, Agnes Scott, Shorter,
Oeorgia State College for Wo
men, the different normal
schools, and many others.
Just other reasons why Ge
orgia Is a potential leader.

The fact that Georgia showed
little gain in population dur
ing the last 10 years was a
source of regret ,to everyone.
But there'll be smother census
in 1940 and If you and I put
our shoulders to the wheel and
work for Georgia, then the 1940
census will tell another tale.
