TO THE VOTERS OF FORSYTH COUNTY:
At the request of numerous friends throughout the County
/ have entered the race for Clerk of Superior Court of Forsyth
County, subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic
Primary to be held August 8, 1972.
My personal belief is that this office belongs to the people
of the County, and if elected to this office / pledge to operate
it in such a way that you will feel that it is your office and
that /do not own it. YOU WILL BE WELCOME AND TREATED
IN A FRIENDLY, COURTEOUS MANNER AND NO PARTIALITY WILL
BE TO ANYONE. In my thinking, a citizen of this
County, regardless of financial circumstances, wants to be, and
deserves to be treated in a dignified, friendly manner.
/ fully understand what the pay of this office is, and /
will not enter into a conspiracy with the Chairman of the
County Commissioners and hold secret, night meetings with
members of the State Legislature, and other elected officials to
get County salaries raises for this four year term. / feel that the
taxpayers burden is becoming more than we can bear and these
raises were engineered mostly without your knowledge and against
your wishes. At a publicized meeting of approximately 400 to 500
concerned taxpayers no one from any County office was pre
sent to explain why a raise for County officials was needed at
that time.
As clerk of the Jury Revisors / shall recommend that they
place the names of more of our good citizens in both the Grand
Jury and Petit Jury Boxes. / think that it is a personal insult
to many of our citizens that they could live a lifetime in this
county and never be given the opportunity to serve the County
in this manner. / know that many of you decent, upright
citizens don't actually desire to be placed in the Jury boxes but
/ also know that you resent the fact that a select few are
always there, and you are completely ignored.
Recently / served on the County Board of Tax Assessors
on a temporary basis. You will recall that an attempt was made
by the County Commissioners to raise property valuations on a
great many home owners and a suit was brought in Court.
Judge Marion Pope asked me to serve a short time as tax
assessor and roll back these new valuations to their previous level,
and levy the County's taxes so that our schools and other
services would not have to dose. This we did, but / am no
longer a member of this board. This action prevented the
utter destruction of our County, where / have spent all my
life and which / truly love. / definitely favor Tax relief for the
small land and home owners, who are presently overburdened with
ad valorem taxes and if elected / will do everything within my
power to help relive this burden.
am married and we have one daughter. / finished
school at Cumming High School and attended North Georgia
College at Dahlonega, and have had more than 25 years
of business experience in the Feed and Poultry Business.
AH this, / feel, will eminently qualify me to serve as
Clerk of our Superior Court and / will appreciate your
kind consideration when you go to the voting booth to
select a new Clerk of Court. Elect me to this office and /
will be ever mindful of the Taxpayers Interest for the
next four years.

Our people
are very bright.
They saw 80% of the area of Georgia without
any way to get electricity, and all the conveniences
and progress that electricity brings. Very well, they
said, we ll do it ourselves. So they formed Georgia s
consumer-owned electric utilities. Put together the
plans and the know-how and the personnel it takes
to keep the power humming through the most
ticated equipment, over 77,000 miles of lines.
Today they light up life for some l .25 million
Georgians—if not for you, then probably for some
one you know or love. That’s how some very bright
people, maybe some of your friends and neighbors,
have made the future very bright for all of us.
