• \
Dr. R. M. Walsh, assistant state vet
erinarian, was in the city last Thurs
day, and closed the slaughter pen out
north of the city, on account of its
unsanitary condition. Several citizens
of the city went out to the pen with
Dr. Walsh, and they concurred with
him that the pen ought to be closed.
It was in a most unsanitary condition.
Beat The 801 l Weevil
Film Proves Interesting
One of the exhibits on the boll Wee
vil question that we have seen was the
moving picture film that was shown in
this city last Friday and Saturday to
about 225 people. It was brought to
this city through the efforts of Mr. J.
C. Stiekney, the secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and proved interest
ing to* all who saw it. We wish every
farmer in the county could have seen
it. After the picture was shown Mr.
J. *K. Giles, of the extension depart
ment of the State Agricultural College,
gave a most interesting talk to those
ptrtsent on the best way to make cot
on under boll weevil condiions.
The securing of this film for Barrow
county was a difficult task, and Mr.
Stiekney was able to get it only after
much perseverance. It was a fine
piece of work on his part, and we
thank him on the part of our people
for the interest manifested by him
in getting this information before our
people.

the county’s most progressive farmers

ELECTRIC POWER
An Editorial From the Pen of Perry
1). Rich, in the Colquitt
(Ga.) Sim.
It is said that twenty-five years ago
Lee Hall, of Baker County, while a
.mere lad, stood on the banks of the
rushing Notchaway Creek and predict
ed that twenty years hence there would
be a powerful dam across said creek
and that the surrounding country
would be furnished hydro-electric cur
rent by the waiters of that creek.
Lee’s dream is about to come true.
The dam is nearing completion. The
wheels are in place and in a short
while the current will be turned on.
I would liUe to hear his prediction
for twenty-five years hence as to what
hydro-electric power will be doing in
this section of the country.
Is it not possible that hydro-electric
power will be accessible in every town
and on the principal highways of this
section?
How do they know we will be using
automobiles twenty-five years from
now? Who knows but that aeroplanes
and electric vehicles will supersede
Henry’s flivver?
I think it is indeed fortunate that
these things are being developed by
private capital and not by the state
and its political subdivision, because
then its failure would be assured.
I have no sympathy with the attempt
now being made to create a sentiment
in this state in favor of public owner
ship of such industries.
In every city that I know’ anything
about they have made a signal fail
ure with municipal ownership. Here
Jn Colquitt right now’ we are having to
pay more for electricity than anywhere
.else by reason of the city ownership of
ithe plant. If this plant was owned by
a private corporation I am sure that
the rates would not be nearly so heavy
as they are now.
A private corporation will nearly
Always have able management. A city
•will always have political management.
A private corporation will operate their
business economically and the city man
agement doesn’t care. At any rate the
municipalities that have tried owning
jtheir own plants have made miserable
with only a few exceptions and
the private corporations generally suc
ceed.
If the Baker County Power Company
wms owned by a city, county or state it
.would never have been built. If it had
been built the waste and graft in its
construction would have made Its cost
of construction enormous.
The United States government built
.Muscle Shoals and look what a mess
it is.
I say let the private corporations
develop these things and then let the
people see to It that they treat the pub
lic right.—Advt.
