THE GREAT PEACH BLOSSOM
FESTIVAL
(Cochran Journal)
The Fourth Annual Peach Blossom
Festival staged in Fort Valley on
Thursday and Friday of last week
wtra a grand success from every
standpoint. A person who has never
een there and seen the beauty and
agnitude of this annual event can¬
not begin to realize in the least de¬
gree what it means or what it is, for
it is simply beyond the wildest fan¬
cies of imagination.
Long before the hour set for the
opening scene (the coronation cere¬
monies) the streets were thronged
with thousands of people, and a
steady stream seemed to pour in from
all directions.
After the coronation ceremonies
King Samuel and Queen Ruth, in a
guilded coach of the Louis XIV peri
od^drawm by six black horses, fol
lowed by the King and Queen’s court
in another handsome coach, led the
street parade, which was made up
of a large number of floats, some of
which were perfect pictures of beau
ty and originality. Montezuma was
qfcvarded first prize for her beautiful
and artistic float. Second prize was
awarded to Central of Georgia Rail¬
way, while the third prize when to
Thomaston, with Albany being given
honorable mention. All of these were
simply lovely to behold.
After the parade, the vast throng
wended their way to the berbecue
grounds where the most delicious
barbecue meats, pickles, etc., were
served, in such a systematic way that
there was no waiting to be served
We were told that 40,670 pounds of f
Georgia pigs had been prepared for
that event, and bread and pickles in
orofcortion.
Ai fter dinner, we then went to the
pageant grounds where we were alt
seated with ease and entertained with
music by the Sixth Cavalry mounted
band, Central of Georgia Railroad
Infantry f-kjep band, band and from the Fort Twenty-Ninth Benning. .
Then began the Teal thing “The
Trail of Pink Petals”—where scene
after scene was unfolded, portraying
the history of the peach, which were
too beautiful for mere words to des
Cnbe '
Fort Valley, with a white population
of only 2,000 men, women and chil
dren, is certainly to be congratulated

DAVIDSON SAYS ABOLISH
INHERITANCE TAX
(Macon Daily Telegraph)
Representative J. E. Davidson, oi
Peach County, has informed The Tel¬
egraph that he is more firmly en¬
trenched than ever in his belief that
Georgia should abolish the inheri¬
tance tax. He and Representative Nat
\v inship of Bibb County will be
found working together in the com¬
ing General Assembly for that one
bill.
“Talking with business men and
bankers in Miami, Orlando, Braden
town and several other centers in
Florida, I got the same conclusion
from all of them—that more sub
| stantial growth and investment can
be traced directly to the elimination
0 f an inheritance tax than any other
' one thing,” Mr. Davidson said. “Real
estate investment in Florida started
from that; people from other States
began turning loose their money in
'' realty as soon as they found
out thal tht state ha(l e H m i na ted its
inheritance tax, and that activity
brought the same kind of activity
f rom 0 ther sources.”
1 The Telegraph welcomes such an
able advocate as Representative Da¬
vidson to the ranks of those who w>il!
fight for the abolition of the inheri¬
tance tax. It is confiscatory in prin
cinle: it is Socialistic in principle and
it is a deterrent to progress.
upon showing such a magnificent
spirit of co-operation and progress in
presenting this wonderful event.
Neither time nor expense was spared
in arranging for the thousands of
visitors to that grand little city,
which shows such a fine spirit of
development. We do not believe there
is a city or ton anywhere that has
shown such a marked degree of ad
vancement as the Peach County Ca
Jta , and with j ohnny Jones at the
head of their publicity medium, they
are destined to become a great city.
Already Macon is calling them her
sister city _
The mem bers of the Georgia Press
Association were the special guests
of the Pub i icjty Committee on Fri
day and we were royaHy entertained
t0 say the leagt . j ohn „ y J on es cer
tainly knows how to entertain as well
as how to run a newspaper, and the
people of that splendid city seem to
realize his worth.
