I entered the race of Commission with one purpose in mind-that of handling
every issue of County government to the best of my knowledge and ability
with economy and fairness to all.
Many of you will know me from having worked with the Agriculture Stabi
lization Conservation Service measuring land over the County, as substitute
mail carrier, or in the nursery business.
My life has been spent in Forsyth County except time at school, Air Force,
and defense woik. I am married to the former Miriam Wallace and have a dau

Canton
Mills
Grant
A federal grant of $209,000
has been awarded to Canton
Textile Mills, Inc., Canton,
Ga., to develop what may be a
major breakthrough in water
and air pollution control for
textile mills.
The grant, awarded by the
Environmental Protection
Agency, was announced by
Louis L. Jones Jr., Board
Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the Canton mill
located 35 miles northwest of
Atlanta.
The proposed system,
which will be the only one of
its kind in the nation, has
already won the praise of
Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter
and the Georgia Water Quality
Control Board.
The system, based on an
idea by the 58-year old Jones,
has been designed by R.S.
Noonan Inc., a diversified
engineering firm based in
Greenville, S.C.
Noonan, backed by
$50,000 from the Canton mill,
developed the system and did
preliminary testing on it
without federal support. The
research proved so promising,
however, that the EPA
awarded the $209,000 grant.
With the EPA funds,
Noonan engineers and
chemists have begun tests that
will lead to the development
of machinery needed for the
full scale system, expected to
be in operation some time
next year.
Canton Textile Mills had
long faced water and air
pollution problems and had
fought them with traditional
pollution-control systems.
Then, one day last year, Jones,
whose family has been
involved with the Canton mill
since it was established in
1899, had an idea:
What would happen, he
asked, if you combined the
pollutants - the air pollutants
and the water pollutants? The
air pollutants are mostly
acidic, the water pollutants are
mostly caustic or basic. If you
combined them, wouldn’t
they neutralize each other?
The answer, according to
the Noonan firm, is yes.
“We’re sure it will work,”
declared W.J. Kinsland, staff
chemist with Noonan.
In simple terms, the Canton
system works this way:
It takes flue gas, which has
an acid base and contains
sulfur dioxide and carbon
dioxide, from burning coal
and uses it to neutralize waste
water, which has a chemically
caustic base, from the textile
manufacturing process. In
return, the flue gas’ acidity, its
sulfur sioxide and carbon
dioxide are also neutralized.
In addition, the system uses
fly ash from the coal, which is
a kind of activated charcoal,
to absorb chemical color and
some suspended solids in the
waste water. This also prevents
the fly ash from escaping into
the atmosphere from the mill’s
smokestacks.
“These steps neutralize the
mill’s effluent, making it
neither strongly caustic nor
acidic,” explains Kinsland.
“This conditions it for
optimum biological treatment
in Canton’s aeration
reservoir.”
The system cleans the water
so thoroughly, states Kinsland,
that it may be re-used in the
mill’s manufacturing process.
“We could make it clean
enough to drink,” he adds.
The Noonan chemist said
there are other pollution
control systems for textile
mills being tested, “but none
of them will do the job as well
and as cheaply as this system
will.” He said this was the
major reason why the EPA
awarded the $209,000 grant
to Canton.
“They realize that many
small textile mills are the
economic lifeblood of the
small towns they are in, but
many of the small mills cannot
afford to spend huge sums on
pollution control," he said.

COMMISSION POST B
ARE YOU SATISFIED
WITH YOUR PRESENT SENATOR?
It is my desire to represent you as Senator from the 51st District in a manner different from the way
you have been represented.
The incumbent Senator has established a new record of “do-nothingness” during the time he has ser
ved. How many of you have ever seen him publish his voting record in your locaL paper? How many of
you have ever seen him publish in your local paper the legislation pending in the Senate? How many of
you have ever Attended a meeting where he discussed the issues with you?
Your Senator represents you - he serves at your pleasure. You are entitled to know what is going to
take place in Atlanta? The office belongs to you and you should elect the man who is willing to keep
you informed.
During the last session of the Senate, our present Senator co-sponsored a bill which would have gutted
the income producing electrical systems of the cities of Cartersville and Calhoun. This will was one
which would have directly benefited the large power distributing systems of our state. Yet, our Sen
ator did not ask the city officials of Cartersville and Calhoun how this bill would effect them - in
truth and in fact • our Senator did not even tell these people he was going to introduce this bill prior
to its introduction. Do you want this kind of special interest legislation? I feel that my common sense
makes me, an average man, think like the average man, and I do not want a man like this representing
me. Conveniently for the incumbent, when re-apportionment came about, Cartersville and Bartow
County were omitted from the 51st Senate District.
Vote for a positive thinking, qualified man who is interested in what you think, a man who will work
for you to keep our area in the lead in Georgia. Vote for Beverly Langford for State Senate on August
Bth, and let him keep you informed about your office. Let Beverly Langford speak up for you in your
State Senate.
I promise to:
(1) Keep you informed about pending legislation:
(2) Do everything possible to prevent property taxes from being increased:
(3) Progressively represent you and to do everything possible to see that our highway systems are
improved and maintained. We have been neglected long enough in North Georgia while every pig
trail in South Georgia has been paved. If our progress is to continue, we must have good roads now
and proper planning for the future.
(4) See that our children receive quality education;
(5) Conserve our water, wildlife.
