Chason, chairman of the committee appointed to pro mote a meat packing plant for Bainbridge, Decatur county and southwest Georgia is enthusiastic over the prospects of raising the capital and organizing the opera ting company. A meeting of the central com mittee, appointed to advise with chairman Chason will be held shortly. At this time an appli cation for a charter will be filed with the clerk ot the superior court. It is proposed to erect a mod ern meat packing plant in this city with a daily capacity of 500 hogs and 75 head of cattle. The plant will be ready for business by the middle of November at the latest. The charter will call for a ! $200,000 corporation with the | privilege of increasing the capi tal to $1,000,000, stock will be placed on the market shortly. In discussing the proposed plant with a representative of the Post-Search Light, Dr. Cha son said: ‘ ‘The great necessity of a meat packing plant located in Bain bridge is apparent to everyone who gives this important matter due consideration. Our people ate awakening to the fact that the boll weevil is actually in our midst and that we can no longer grow cotton at a profit, at any price. “The people of southwest Geor gia have already begun in a limi ted way to turn to stock raising as a solution of the problem that faces them. If the business is to be fostered and made renum- erative a market must be provi ded for the stock. The present market is limited by the limited capacity of the packing plant in Moultrie. “Many have grown hogs for the Moultrie market and been forced to carry them for weeks at a dead loss, after they were ready for the plant. This re- £ duces the profit greatly. The ' BainDridge plant would furnish a local market that would help solve this problem. “This is not a project lor De catur county alone but for all the) adjoining counties. Early, Mil ler, Baker, Mitchell, Grady, Leon, Gadseu, and Jackson coun ties all border on and surround Decatur county and are vitally j interested in the proposed pack ing plant. “This industry must be fos tered by everyone as it is of in terest to all alike. Merchant, | banker, real estate dealer, land lords, artisan and tenant alike) are interested. If we fail to provide a market for our farmers the merchat’s business will sutler, hank deposits will tall oif, the real estate man will be unable to to market these crops in the form of milk, poultry, beef and pork and byproducts. “It is the duty of every man, be he farmer, merchant, banker, railroad man, wage earner, pro fessional man, or whatever his avocation, to contribute his sub scription to this important pro ject. A failure to do this will certainly act as a boomerang to all collectively. “This is no time to wait for the other fellow to put up his ducats while you reap the profits at his expense. Such a mistaken principle will spell failure. • “In Union there is Strength,’’and “in Division there is Weakness.’’ It the people of southwest Georgia allow this project to fail the fault will be theirs and they will repent sooner or later. “Now is the time to think seriously and act quickly and courageously.
