'Annmmcement Of
o Wright T. Paulk.
| FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE GEN-
I 'ERAL ASSEMBLY OF GA.,
From Ben-Hill County. Under
Such Rules and Regulations as
Prescribed by the Proper
’ Authorities
’To the People of Ben Hill County:
l During the 1911 session of the
General Assembly of Ga., which
I served you, I endeavored earn
estly and faithfully in the support
of all the General measures that I
advocated and pledged in my for
mer race for Representative. viz.
Laws with reference to Labor,
and the extension of Education.. ..
_ Anid'in co-operating with others
equally interested, such Laws were
enacted ;and- in :‘my - opinion. of
thought, have met with approval
in general to the people of Geor
gia, especially in the New School|
Law where an additional One
Hundred Thousand Dollars goes
to the children of this State.
I voted for every meaure that
tended to uplift the people and
state,
I was always on the side with
the people in common as against
special interest, .
I met regularlly with my Com
mittees, having been assigned to
some among the mostimportant,
such as, Education ‘‘Banks and
'Banking” Railroads” Ways and
'Means and Corporations etc.
My conduct as your Represen
tative is a matter of public record,
and with such experience as I
have had I feel that I am in better
position to still render more and
better service to the people of my
County, 4
I am anxious to serve you again
in the General Assembly from our
County, not in any consideration
of money, for all one can get out
of it is the consciousness of hav
ing served his people well and
faithfully, and to me this is great
er than money. |
THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, MAY 10. 192
I therefore earnestly appeal to
your kind consideration, promis
ing if re-elected the best efforts of
!my'fi fe in all matters of general
fas well as of local interest.
| Faithfully Yours,
o Wright T. Paulk.

Reunion Speculators
Out About $240,000
Reunions come high. E?everali
hundred Macon pecple who count
ed on making money on this ()ue’
and who not only did not do so, |
but lost snug little sum themsel-‘
ves, will tell you so. ;
They will tell you that buying
cots to rent to reunion visitors
and renting them are* different
propositions altogether, Xailure|
to take that factinto consideration
has cost the people of the city
about $240,000, acedrding to a re
unton official who has kept close
tab on the housing of the visitors}’
In the first place, the crowd is
not s 0 large as it was thought it
would be. Several thousand visi
tors who were expected to come
to town did not come. They were
discouraged by the train and the'
reports, mostly false, but some,
lamentable as it is, frue, of the
extortionate prices that were be
ing charged here.
The overflow of the Mississippi
river, which bankrupted many
people in Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Louisiana, kept
thousands away from the reunion; |
thousands who wanted to come butl
couldn’t after the Father of
Waters had left their farms noth
ing but waste places in a vast ter
ritory of inundated land,
'J??léen, the ~continued rains 1n
Georgia, which have delayed the
planting of crops and put the far
mers way behind in their work,
have kept many at home.
Hundreds of people here who
failed to take these matters into
account prepared for more visitors
than have come and have suffered
for their lack of forethought.
One man who bought 1,300 cots
and had them distributed in dif
ferent buildings about the city had
but one customer Tuesday night.
This customer paid him 25 cents
to sleep in & room where there
were 899 other cots unoccupied.
The cots cost him about $2 each.
Then the wiring of the buildings
and the hiring of clerks amounted
to quite a bit. He figures his loss
at not less than $3,000, as the
cots will be practically of no valuei
after the reunion. |
Other citizens, hundreds of
them, who figured that the city
woula be overrun with strangers,
have thousands of cots to rent,
but no one to rent them to.
One man who invested $6OO in
cots, all his savings, had but two
customers Tuesday night and not
one Wednesday night,
Hundreds of the citizens who
put cots in their homes to give
places of rest for the visitors,
‘have bhad no calls for them.
~ The bag loss, however, falls up
on the people who speculated;
those who Dought cots. by .the
hindreds and expzcted to fill them
every night.. Their investments
represent something !ike $250,000 |
it is’ ‘said,” #nd they will get but
little of it back. i
