Terrell County
Lauded For Its
100-Year Record
DAWSON, Ga„ (GPS)—It’s all
over but the shouting, is Terrell
County’s week-long centennial cel¬
ebration. But South Georgia folks
will be talking about the “Sis¬
ters of the Swish,” the “Brothers
of the Brush,” the colorful 33
unit parade and all the other
spectacular things that made up
the program for many years to
come.
They’ll remember, too, seme of
the remarks made by the prin¬
cipal orators. For example, Gov.
Marvin Griffin said that from a
humble beginning “there has been
a parade of progress in this com¬
munity for a century down to the
present time when prospects for
future growth and expansion were
: Legislature this year that “will
stand fast with me in defense of
our ideals and traditions, ■ i Re
plying to this, the chief executive
said:
“The plain truth is that virtu
ally all of the .state’s revenues are
c l’ anne l e( l into the towns and cities
to provide essential services for
n the people.
“Your state government is car
j ying gladly a major part of the
j responsibility for education.
“It is providing health services
on a broad scale.
“It is building streets in mu¬
nicipalities on a cooperative basis
—take the Atlanta Expressway
for instance.
“Public welfare assistance is al¬
most exclusively a cooperative
tate-federal function Cities in
Atlanta and Fulton County alone
receive $6.5-millio» a year from
the State Welfare Department.”
Declaring that Mayor Tigner’S
statement is “purely political with
no basis in fact,” Governor Grif¬
fin said:
“It is my responsibility as gov¬
ernor to see that all Georgians—
farmer and city-dweller, white and
colored, rich and poor-receive fair
and equitable treatment.”
Georgia Demos
To Adopt Rules
At May 29 Meet
ATLANTA (GPS) — The
Democratic Executive
will meet in the House chamber
the State Capitol in Atlanta
day, May 29, at 10 a.m.,

man John Sammons Bell.
never brighter.”
U.S. Senator Walter F.
another featured speaker
was born in adjoining
County, said Terrell County
long been recognized as one of
great agricultural counties of
country. 1 He devoted most
his address to the critical
problems confronting Georgia
the nation today.
Erie Cocke, Jr., one of
County’s most distinguished
who introduced the
senator, told h*s listeners: • i
would like to say in all
that I have been more honored
my home town, my county,
state and my country than I
ever possibly merit through
action on my part. I count it
high privilege to have been
and raised here in Terrell
where I am proud to make
home always.”
An ex-Army major with one
the most amazing war records
World War II, Cocke is a
state and national commander
the American Legion; is now vice
president of Delta Air Lines.
And so, as it entered upon its
second hundred years, everybody
was speaking in glowing terms of
Terrell County- its past, its
present and its future. The coun¬
ty was named after Dr. William
Terrell, of Sparta, distinguished
physician, cotton planter and a
member of the U.S. Congress, who
died the year before Terrell was
created out of territory which for¬
merly belonged to Lee, Randolph,
and Kinchefoonee (now Webster)
Counties.
