Ga. Losing Millions
By Failure to Boost
Tourist Attractions
By James B. Nevin
Georgia has more to sell in the
way of health, climate, scenery, re
creation and natural beauty than any
state cast of the Mississippi River,
but comparatively little or nothing is
being done about it.
There is moving throughout tnis
nation today a new grand army of
the republic—an army peace plen
ty and r osperity—t.-av-.iing to the
four corners thereof. And yet it
marching through Georgia very little,
indeed!
This is the army of tourists, of
which our Georgia people seem only
to have heard in a most haphazard
and fragmentary fashion.

The teachers in Georgia’s public
schools have never been paid their
salaries promptly (exeept from local
or borrowed funds) because the state
has never paid legislative appropria

It is not a good plan to load up on
more livestock than one has feed for,
and one should not buy them until
their feed is ready for turning them
in on. Neither do we believe that it is
wise to go in debt to buy anything at
this time. Debt is almost always to
be avoided. But where a man has good
summer pasture and plenty of feed in
his field this fall, we believe that it
would be good business to buy a few
heifers and a young bull of one of the
beef breeds now selling at such low
prices, or a few steers to fatten for
rrmrrket next spring. If two or three
will get together, this can be done co
operatively.

fought at Gettysburg; 25 times as
great as the fablous army of Xerxes
and twice as great in numerical
strength as were under arms on both
sides, at any time, during the prog
ress of the World War."
And this “an army of peace—in
tent only upon health, comradeship,
wholesome enjoyment and spiritual
enrichment."
It is an army that moves continu
ously throghout the year.
It is not especially “seasonable;”
that is, 'there is never a time when it
is not in large proportion “on the go."
It is estimated that the average ex
penditure of a tourist in this country
is $10 per day of 24 hours; seldom
does it run under that—very often it
runs much in excess of that.
It is conservatively figured that ap
proximately $3,000;tJ00,(jU0 is expend
ed by our touring America population
every year, within ihe confines of our
own country—and in CASH, remem
ber.
Tourists travel does not ask any
one to "charge it.”
If tourists travel were, 10 times
what it is in Georgia nowadays—and
it very well MIGHT be—it would be
worth millions upon millions of dol
lars to us every year, that now never
reaches us at all.

ways—large and small. In dollars

ditor’s report. All other legislative
appropriations for 1928 have long
since been paid in full.
The General Assembly of 1929 in
resolution No. 45 authorized and in
structed the governor and treasurer
“to pay such unpaid balances for the
years 1928 and 1929 out of any
funds available in the treasury from
"revenues now or hereafter provided by
law.”
This letter is to advise you and
hrough you the friends of education
j in your county, of' the exact situation
hoping thereby to create such public
sentiment as will.enable us to to put
our,public school system upon a bet
ter basis of support. You are. at liber
ty to use this letter and the situation
it presents as your judgment may in
dicate for informing your school of-
Heals and citizens and enlisting-their
interest. Do this at once.
The unpaid balances still dug to
Taylor county for 1928 and 1929 by
the state are as follows:

what isl “left over” at the end of the

And usually there is nothing left.
It is human nature to spend what

YOUR LAST CHANCE
Naturally, good things can’t
last forever. At least, here’s one
good thing which can’t last, and
what we mean—you had better
hurry.
For when we kick the cat out
Saturday night, and lock our doors
—the Free Coal Campaign will be
a thing of the past until one year
from now.
That is—a thing of the past for
some folks. For those who have
taken the easy step toward solving
the heating problem, all the en
joyment is still ^ be hid. Just
imagine June warmth in Decem-
■ ber and all the rest of the icy cold
months. Upstairs, down stairs, all
over the house. Just . imagine a
supply of Free Coal to start the
winter off right. .Just imagine the
big saving in fuel costs—all be
cause the genuine Estate Heatrola
has something which no other
heater can ever have.
Last but not least, just imagine
that all we’ve been talking about
is available right now, for only $2
down. That’s the Free Coal offer
now in effect. Can you beat it?
We should say 'not, either, but no
stalling please. Come right in and
get it over with. For Saturday—
and you can take our word for it—
is your last chance.
