And 100 Men According to
V-President
Macon, Sept. 26.—The first south
ern pottery to manufacture dinner-
ware china will begin operation about

company preparatory to installing
new machinery, already contracted.
Alfred Bawodski, vice president and
general manager of the proposed

OOO dozen pieces of china per week.
He has been at Gordon several weeks
supervising work of remodeling and
cleaning. ^
Several tbuildings which were part
of the old brick concern have been
torn down tout the main structure
and kiln will be used.
Mt. Badowski sees opening of the
new plant as the “re-location of the
clay industry from Ohio. He said
none of the plants there have moved
south but that he expects other
plants to begin operations in the
South within the next few years.
Describing establishment of china
making factories in the South as
“logical,” he said the South offers
raw materials, labor and power ad
vantages unavailable elsewhere.
Although the plant will use rarw
materials from several southern
states for the first few months, Mr.
Badowski said, this section ultimate
ly will furnish all raw materials used
Clays from McIntyre, Dry Branch
other mines will be consumed, sup
plemented by other raw materials.
Power and gas lines have been laid
to the plant, the vice president said,
and workmen are getting the build
ings in shape for the machinery rap
idly.
The plant will employ about 200
girls and 190 men, Mr. Badowski
said, when it is operating on full
Echedule. A big crew will be at work
next week.
Assets of the combined factory will
amount to about $500,000, Mr. Bado
wski said. He explained that southern
capital only was used in organisation.
He said the company is selling
about 20,000 shares of stock at $10 ft
share and all other capital has been
raised.
The ware will be made and finished
at Gordon. The dinnerware will he
made from flint, spar and clay, using
all American products, which the of
ficial siaid is a new procedure in thd
china industry.

dent. Several Macon men will ho di
rectors, Mr. Baldowski said.

Atlanta, Sept. 23.—Dismissal of
of first of Eugene Talmadge’s sena
torial contest petitions presaged to
day a light at the Democratic state
convention in Macon ten days hence.
“The courts can’t take part in a
party primary,” the former governor
told the Pike county democratic
committee at Zebulon yesterday.
“This committee is the first court of
resort in a matter of this kind and
the second court is the state con
vention.”
His statement did not refer to the
possibility of an appeal to the state
democratic executive committee, pro
viding for such contests in rules
adopted by the committee for the
Sept. 14 primary.
His contest petitions amended to
delete charges of ballot box stuffing
and other irregularities, the former
governor appeared personally before
pike and Merwether county commit
teemen to ask recounts on the basis
of variation between county totals in
the senate and governorship race
tabulations.
Committee of 'both those counties,
however, and Seminole, Clinch and
Oglethorpe all turned down the re
quest.
S. D. Hewitt, a Talmadge attorney
said such contests were “an inherent
right in democracy” and suggested
the only valid reason for opposition
to recounts was that “the contestant
(Talmadge) won.”

The complete text of the letter
follows:
To the Members and Prospective
Customers of the Taylor County
Electric Membership Corpora
tion;
We knew what we -wanted, and we
stuck together until we got it. We
are going to have electricity. I am
proud to announce that the Loan'
Contract whereby the Federal Gov
ernment thuough the Rural Electri
fication Administration will lend us
$419,000 to construct our project.
Now we are ready to start work.
The new electric lines that will soon
be built will serve our community for
many years to come. With our long-
sought goal so close at hand how
ever, we cannot afford to make any
mistakes. From now on it will pay
us to proceed slowly and build care
fully.
The next few weeks will be busy
weeks. There will ibe legal problems
to clear up; plans and blueprints
must be made. We have to select a
contractor to build the lines. This
work must be done and since it will
protoatoly be done quietly, without fan
fare, there may he times when prog
ress seems very slow. Impatient as
we are for electricity, these next
few weeks may he the hardest of all.
REA assures us that the staking
crews will be here next week. Short
ly afterwards the contractor will be
gin construction of the new lines.
We are definietly going to have
electricity. Now is the time to plan
our wiring, decide on what appliances
we want first, make provisions for
hooking up to the line as soon ah it
comes. In this way we will get the
full benefits of electricity at the be
ginning. Yours truly,.

Atlanta, -Sept. 26.—Georgia’s $16,-
000,000 slum clearance and low-cost
housing program can go forward now
without interference.
Constitutionality of the housing
authorities and housing co-operativo
laws, passed at the last session oi
the Georgia General Assembly, hav<
been upheld by the State Supremt
Court.
The decision means that sever
Georgia cities in which housing au
thorities have been set up and fed
eral funds earmarked can begin im
mediately their slum clearance pro
jects, according to G. B. Hamilton,
director of the state housing authori
ty. Actual construction will begin as
soon as preliminary work, such as
selecting sites, is completed .
Atlanta’s $9,000,000 is the largpsl
allocation for slum clearance in the
state. This will be matched with
$900,000 put up iby the Atlanta Hous
ing Authority, of which C. F. Palm
er, president of the Atlanta Cham
ber of Commerce, is chairman.
The Supreme Court’s decision up
held Judge A. L. Franklin, of the

dismissing a petition challenging con
stitutionality of the acts. The action
was brought as a test case to de
termine the validity of the Georgia
acts.
