Telfair Politicians
Fail To Halt
FBI Vote Probe

Atlanta—Two Telfair County poli
ticians made a trip to Washington
in an unsuccessful attemept to per
suade authorities to call off an
FBI probe of alleged voting fraud.
The Atlanta Constitution said
Thursday night.
The newspaper said it learned
authoritatively that despite visits
with Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy
and the Justice Department, the
FBI investigation was continuing in
Telfair County.
The paper gave this account:
Jack Walker, chairman of the
Telfair Democratic Executive Com
mittee, and Preston Rawlins, coun
ty attorney, met with the attorney
general iti Washington several
weeks ago.
Kennedy gave them a brief hear
ing and then Walker and Rollins
met with Bert Marshall, chief of the
Civil Rights Division, and Henry
'putzel, chief of the voting and
[elections section.
| The Telfair County men asked
(the ‘Mitral government to with
draw from the case and allow the
Telfair Cpunty Grand Jury to do
the investigating.
Justice Department officials ap
parently were non-committal, but
indicated the government does not
like to prosecute in cases where lo
cal authorities do an adequate job
of investigating election frauds.
Following the visit to Washing
ton, the Telfair County Grand Jury
investigated alleged irregularities
in last November’s general election.
The jury returned a presentment
acknowledging irregularities in the
election but said it had not heard
enough evidence to return indict
ments.
Teachers In Crawford
Are Appointed
ROBERTA—The Crawford Coun
ty Board of Education has elected
teachers for the high school, ele
mentary and primary grades of
Crawford County High School ac
cording to Principal Robert L.
Sheets.
The faculty is composed of Tho
mas C. Glover, assistant principal,
English teacher and glee club direc- Aultman, first grade.
Atlanta, Ga. — A legislative
committee investigating the possi
bility of reapportioning the Georgia
Legislature may hold one of its
first public hearings in Savannah
the committee chairman said.
Rep. Twitty of Mitchell County
said the group has been invited to
Savannah by Mayor McLean and
may decide to accept the invitation
during an Atlanta meeting this
week.
“We have had several letters in
viting us to hold public hearings”
Twitty said. He pointed out a
hearing in Savannah would ac
commodate people in that area
who do not have time to go to At
lanta to express their views.
The House floor leader said the
committee probably would set up
an agenda for the hearing and that
several other Ga. cities might be
included.
However, he said, “I don’t think
the committee would be inclined to
have hearings unless some interest
was manifested in the area.”
The group was created by the
legislature to investigate the possi
bilities of changing the distribu
tion of legislative seats to give
larger counties more voice in state
government.
A three-member subcommittee is
working on the selection of possi
ble meeting places.

272.000 bales.

^ ' GEORGIA'S MOUNTAIN
LEISURELAND * * _
A
Springtime in Georgia’s mountain regions is bursting forth in all its
splendor of mountain wildflowers and dogwood blossoms spreading like
snow on the slopes.
A refreshing welcome awaits you in North Georgia’s Blue Ridge
Vacationland! Here amid forested peaks and eool valleys you will find
magnificent scenery, delightful accommodations and food, recreation
of great variety and an invigorating climate.
To make the most of your day of mountain viewing, a tour of
the eastern part of the Blue Ridge on Highways 23, 76 and 180 is
recommended.
From Atlanta, Highway 23 leads straight to Gainesville, home of
famous Lake Lanier. Here is a day’s vacation itself. Fishing, skiing,
boating and camping are all at the tourist’s fingertips.
Motoring northward by Russell Lake and Fern Springs Recreational
Area we reach the territory of Toccoa Falls, viewing the breathtaking
splendor of the waterfall which even exceeds Niagara in height. Six
miles further is Jarrett Manor, one of the main attractions in Georgia’s
Centennial Tour. Frontier, outpost, plantation home, stagecoach inn —
this rambling old house, now a state museum, has weathered almost
two centuries of stormy history.
Tallulah Point, located on Highway 23, is a vantage point for the
best view of Tallulah Gorge. The steep, rugged walls of the canyon are
covered with a natural growth of trees and shrubs. Rabun Bald is
visible on clear days from Tallulah.
Black Rock Mountain State Park, near Clayton, is a perfect spot
for picnicking and viewing miles of surrounding Georgian terrain.
Leaving Highway 23 at Clayton, U.S. 76 leads straight to the clear,
eool waters of Lake Burton. All types of aquatic and campiiTg activities
are available here.
Brasstown Bald, wich an elevation of 4,784 feet, is the highest point
in Georgia. A 40-foot lookout tower surmounts the heavily wooded*
mountain. The Enotah Glades Picnic Area, near Brasstown Bald, con
tains a small parking area, walled spring and picnic tables.
In the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest on Ga. 180 lies
Vogel State Park, one of the most popular Georgia parks. A vast
recreational area, the Park offers almost every variety of outdoor
pleasu? .* V its visitors. Swimming, boating and fishing are pleasant
experiences of Vogel’s Lake Trahlyta. Hikers or horsel*sick riders can
explore the mountain trails leading to Neels Gap, Brasstown Bald, the
Appalachian Trail and Lake Winfield Scott. A children’s playground
museum, cabins, restaurant, inn and trading post are highlights of
the Park.
From Vogel the trail leads to Dahlonega, site of the first gold rush.
A museum filled with relics of those adventurous days, is still the site
of much activity as panning for gold is a favorite pastime for tourists.
Georgia’s Mountain Leisureland, a land of uncrowded, leisurely
vacationing, surrounded by natural beauty, that, for the traveler •
purposes, is one big park with new excitement of mountain passes, out
door experiences and family fun around every bend of the road.
—by LAVRA ANDERSON
Clear, cold mountain streams, such as at Fort Mountain State Park
near Chatsworth, invite you to Georgia's Mountain Leisureland.
