THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY
THE CAPITOL SHOULD BE REMOVED
No Reason Why People of Georgia Should Spend
Millions To Gratify Macon’s Ambition Tc
Grow At State’s Expense Why Atlanta
Protests Removal.
'pHE Legislature should kill
the proposed Constitutional
amendment which provides for
a removal of the Capitol. There
is no good and sufficient reason
WHY the Capitol should be re
moved from Atlanta to Macon, or
anywhere else.
The mere fact that Macon
wants it and is willing to put
forth considerable effort to get
it is not by any means a com
pelling reason why Macon
should have it.
And there is no other reason
advanced that should challenge
the attention of a sworn legisla
tor of this State.
But for the life of us we see
no reason why any person OUT
SIDE of Macon should grow ex
cited about it, unless he be a
non-resident real estate owner
or something of the sort, with '
material ends to serve. Certain-
ly, the common, ordinary run of
taxpayer, who would have to pay
the freight of removal—AND IT
WOULD BE HEAVY—will find
it more to his interests to leave
the Capitol right where it is and
has been for so long a time, hap
pily and satisfactorily situated
in Atlanta.
Macon’s ambition in this mat
ter is misguided ambition.
Macon is seeking in this thing
to grow not WITH the State, but
at the EXPENSE of the State.
Macon would selfishly promote
her own interests in this cause,
even though it entailed a big ex
pense, unnecessary and unwise,
upon every taxpayer in the State
of Georgia.
Macon Makes Virtue Of Necessity
Macon’s campaign has been rather
adroitly planned, to catch the unsus
pecting
She is not asking DIRECTLY that
the Capitol be removed to Macon,
rather is she pleading that “the peo
ple he permitted to settle this ques
tion.”
Macon knows, good and well, of
course, that the Capitol cannot he re
moved EXCEPT by a vote of the peo
ple—being a Constitutional amend
ment —however much she might ob
ject to that way of settling it. Hence,
in the plea she advances she makes
a smug virtue of necessity.
What she is after is not at all to as
certain the .shew of the people —it
merely is to consummate, if possible,
the removal of the Capitol.
Why cannot Macon be altogether
frank about it?
Macon's Promises Vague
To move the Capitol from Atlanta
would involve a tremendous expense.
True. Macon promises, in a vague sort
of way. to vote a million dollars of
bonds for the purpose of re-locating the
Capitol. But that would be a mere drop
in the bucket at best—if the bonds ever
wero voted
The present Capitol building; could not
he duplicated for less than $2,500,000
The land upon which the Governor’s Man
sion now stands is worth $500,000 It
would take half of Macon's little $1,000.-
000 bond issue to duplicate that ONE
item alone —and It will be remembered
that this mansion originally was given
to the State of Georgia, free of rest,
by the people of Atlanta, when the Cap
itol was located here, with the under
standing that the location was to be per
manent.
It has enhanced tn value to the State,
bee iuse Atlanta has grown and expand
ed, because of her pluck and enterprise,
into a city of wonderful physical propor
tion* and values
A 1 In all, the taxpayers of Georgia
like y would he lucky to escape with an
linn -cessarv expenditure of $5,000,000 or
mo' e. if the Capitol were moved from
AU mta.
Entire State Is Interested
Tl 6 proposal to remove the Capitol
fra n Atlanta is not so much mi Atlanta
vsT\ Macon affair as It is a Macon vs.
thn Stale of Georgia affair.
Tie Capitol is a State prooerty, not
a local property It serves a State pur
pa® , not a local purpose. I It should
lie located permanently, where It will
nest serve the purposes of the people:
it is not a thin* to be kicked about from
city to city, for speculative purposes.
Tie Capitol has been located In Atlanta
for forty-odd years N'o whisper of com
plaints has come as to that save from
the city of Macon
Even Macon's claim that she is 'geo
graphically right” is flimsy, in that she
isn't the center of the State in any
respect whatever save that of mere phys
ical location—which Is weak as a sin
gle and conclusive argument.
Macon isn't the center of population
certainly not of white population—or she
isn't the center of wealth or taxation
It will hardly he claimed that she is
the center of culture, in that one sec
tion of the State has nothing whatever
to boast over another in that.
Macon isn't the center of anything,
save an ambition to take over the Capi
tol, at the expense of the taxpayers,
north, east, south and west—and that
center is circumscribed by her own cor
porate limits and no more
This annual tempest in a teapot should
cease
N'o doubt Savannah, Augusta. Colum
bus. Rome. Athens Uriffin, Cartersville
Miliedgeville and other worth while cit
ies and towns in Georgia would like to
have the Capital.
And there Is not one of them that
hasn't as good a claim to It as Ma
con
So far, however, no one of them has
roposed that the taxpayers burden
emselves heavily and unnecessarily to
-e them In the Capitol.
Not Constructive Legislation

! Atlanta Citizen.* Pro
test Against Capi
tal Removal.
THE citizens and taxpayers of
the city of Atlanta and Ful
ton and ReKalb counties
earnestly appeal to the citi
zens and taxpayers of all sections
of the state of Georgia to Join
In the patriotic purpose of de
feating the pending bills in the
legislature seeking to remove the
state capital to Macon, and they
appeal to the various commercial
bodies. chambers of commerce,
municipalities and organizations
of every kind to urge upon their
members in the house and the
senate by telegram, by letter and
personal interview to vote against
these bills, for the following,
amongst other good and sufficient
reasons:
1 Because such an agitation
will embroil the different sec
tions in the state in strife and
animosity divide the people,
commercially and socially, and pre
vent the state and her citizens
from securing their share of the
prosperity and development which
Is at hand during the reconstruc
tion period following the great
war which has Just ended. This is
peculiarly a time for a continua
tion of the united, harmonious
efforts of all the citizens of all
sections to upbuild Georgia, ad
vance her superb prestige in busi
ness, finance and general growth,
and to discourage all discord,
strife, division and bitterness
2 Because the present location
of the state capital was deter
mined by a vote of the people, and
with an agreement on the part of
the city of Atlanta that in con
sideration of its location being
made permanently there the city
would donate the site where it is
now located, which was done for
the purpose of the capitol. and
in addition contributed in money
the appraised value of the Mil
ledgeville capitol buildings, and no
public necessity for the present
removal of the capital exists, but
it is against the public interest
and alone sought to gratify the <
ambition of a rival city. i
3 Because the taxpayers are 1
already heavily burdened with 1
federal taxes recently levied to '
pay the war debt, and the state i
already has a heavy floating debt >
of her own. has no constitutional i
right to issue bonds to build the ■
capitol, and cannot use the sale i
of any of the present capitol <
grounds or ‘executive mansion ex- i
cept to pay the public debt with- i
out violating her word to her ■
bondholders; the cost of a capitol i
and executive mansion at Macon i
of equal capacity and facilities >
to that now possessed bv the state .
In Atlanta, even though all the <
ground is donated, would cost the i
state some four or five millions i
of dollars at the present nrices i
of construction, and will further i
heavily burden the alreadv op- i
pressed taxpayers In the mean- i
time all the other developments i
of the state are suffering for a >
lack of sufficient support, and >
any increase in taxes should cer- ■
tainly go first to schools, roads ■
and the many other branches that i
are now insufficiently cared for. ,
4, Because the bringing on of ■
an election for the removal of the ■
capital will tend to demoralize the ■
public, and will Inevitably place '
tile balance of power in the hands ■
of Irresponsible elements, largely i
composed of those who are now ■
wisely disfranchised from voting •
under our constitution, by failure <
to pay their taxes. Such cam- i
paign will put upon the state this <
class of probably one hundred i
thousand white and black voters (
now disqualified hv causing their i
taxes to be paid in order to get <
their votes, and they will there ■
remain a menace and a danger i
to our institutions for all time to ■
come i
5 Because the Federal Reserve i
bank. United States court of ap- i
peals, military post, base hospi- i
tal. federal prison and the various i
other federal activities, and 'he <
line of general business now lo- i
cated in Atlanta, enable a citizen ■
having business at the silts capi '
tol to conveniently attend to rds >
public or important duties by >
making only one rip. whereas, if '
the capital is removed to Macon i
it would require a trip to each i
place. i
(5 Because the railroad facili- i
ties of the state are sure that the '
location of the capitol in Macon i
would Inconvenience a greatly '
increased number of people over i
what its remaining in Atlanta, by ,
requiring them to change trains ■
anil making the trip difficult to >
reach the capitol. i
For these and other good reasons i
that could be urged, it is of the '
greatest importance that these '
bills in the legislature be defeat- i
ed and the state allowed to con- i
tlnue on her line of progress and '
improvement, without, strife, bit- i
terness or contention.
of Civil war Into a wonderful metropolis.
Atlanta still does not desire to expand
and grow greater by tearing down her
sister Georgia cities.
She does not wish and will not at
tempt to rise to further greatness upon
the broken hopes and crushed ambitions
of other Georgia communities.
THE PROPOSAL TO REMOVE THE
CAPITOL FROM ATI-A XT A IS NOT
CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION, it Is
essentially destructive
Macon's ambition should be made of
sterner stuff than that,
Atlanta Proud Of Her Record
Atlanta is proud that she is the Cap
ital City of Georgia.
It has been one of her boasts this half
century.
And she has risen splendidly to every
demand placed upon her in respect of
this.
NEVER HAS ATLANTA FALTERED
KN STANDING RV GEORGIA AND
NEVER HAS SHE BEEN POUND
WANTING WHEN THE ROLL CALL
FOR WORKERS IN GEORGIA’S BE
! HALF HAS BEEN SOUNDED.
Atlanta does not, naturally, wish to
: see the Capitol removed
Atlanta has no abiding fear in her
heart of hearts that it WILL be re
moved
But Atlanta does not wish to be slap
ped in the face, for nothing
Atlanta does not believe that Georgia
will countenance this senseless and un
reasonable assault upon one of this
State's most cherished Institutions, situ
ated. to the incidental good fortune of
Atlanta, in Atlanta.
The Legislaure should dismiss the ex
traordinary plea of Macon, dismiss It as
unbusinesslike and unnecessary and as
irrelevant to the prosperity, the happi
ness. the comfort, the honor and ths well
being of the State.
j NEW PASTOR FOR CHURCH
OF CHRIST.
Rev. Owen Still, who lias just
I closed a very successful two weeks
! revival at the Church of Christ,
has accepted a unanimous call
from the congregation of that
church to serve as its pastor and
will enter upon his duties as such
next Sunday.
Since coming to Eustis. Rev Still
and his assistants, Rev. Stone and
Miss Wilhite, have won a warm
place in the affections and admira
tion of our people, and it is grati
fying to know that the church will
continue to have regular services.
The following is Rev. Still’s ac
ceptance of the call to ilia church :
“I very gladly accept the work
as pastor of the Church of Christ
of Eustis.
lam here to live and serve
Christ, and therefore covet the
confidence of the people. The pub
lic is invited to attend all of our
services.
The revival service at the
church of Christ came to a close
Sunday night. Mr. Still’s subject
in the morning was “Mother”
(Ephesians 6-1-4) and his address
was a masterly one and the large
audience was deeply affected. He
urged everyone to “visit home
and mother.” His eulogy of his
sainted mother was very fine. Sub
ject at night was “Why Not,”
taken from Luke 14-15-24. His dis
cusion of the various reasons off
ered by people for not accepting
Christ was given earnest and ser
ious attention by the large audi
ence.
There was one confession and
one by letter, and five baptisms at
the night service.
The two weeks’ meeting result
ed in great good to the church,
and there were added to the
church 18, two by letter and 16
were baptized. All of them home
people.
In past five months 33 have been
added to the church, 9 by letter

In the past year the beautiful
