JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1909.
JACKSON LEADS THEM
ALL IN ADVERTISING
BANKERS HEAR HER PRAISES
Delegates to Savannah Con
vention Tell Bankers
Jackson and Butt Coun
ty Are in The Lead —A
Stirring Interview Pub
lished From Prominent
Citizen.
The dazzling giddy heights to
which Jackson and Butts county
have placed themselves by their
own tireless energy and never
give-up-till death spirit is attrac
ting the attention of the entire
country. Its a dull day when
somebody is not singing the
praises of Jackson and the good
old county of Butts. First it is
the Atlanta Constitution telling
of the Chamber of Commerce
giving $6,000 for good roads, then
it is the Savannah Morning News
interviewing the delegates from
Jackson to the Banker’s conven
tion; then it is the president of
the Georgia Fair Association com
ing here to interest the people in
a display at the state fair this
fall. And so it goes. Everybody
will tell you that Jackson and
Butts county are on the map in
great big blazing letters that in
terest and attract and hold the
attention of thousands in every
part of the country.
Here is what the Savannah
Morning News, one of the lead
ing Southern newspapers, says
of this section, as gathered from
an interview with the Jackson
delegates to the bankers’ conven
tion last week:
“The outlook for business and
crops is flattering up in my sec
tion of the state,” said Mr. F. S.
Etheridge, president of the Jack
>son Banking Company, of Jack-
Ison, Ga., yesterday. “Conditions
| are better and the prospects is
more encouraging than it has
! been for some time. Business is
picking up, the good roads move
ment has been given an impetus
which promises to work wonders
in Georgia.
“We are about to get one of
the biggest enterprises in the
state located on the Ocmulgee
river seven miles from Jackson,
j and that naturally tends to make
our people optimistic about our
future. If outsiders have enough
confidence in what we have to
invest $2,500,000 in a single en
terpise it ought to make us think
well of our natural resources,
j “The enterprise I refer to is
an immense dam which the Cen
tral of Georgia Power Company
,is going to build across the Oc
: mulgee. The purpose of this dam
will be to supply electric power
for a projected inter-urban line
connecting Macon and Jackson,
and probably eventually Atlanta
and other places in that part of
'the state. There is also some
talk of another big cotton mill
being located near Jackson to be
operated with current generated
Jby the same big dam.”

COMMITTEE NAMED BY
HON. CLARK HOWELL
THIS SECION NOT REPRESENTED
Seven Members Selected
For the Good Roads
Contest —Jackson Want
ed A Man On Committee
But Chairman Anxious
To Keep Down Preju
dice Did Not Appoint A
Butts County Man.
The committee of seven who
will work together with Clark
Howell, chairman of the Georgia
Good Roads Automobile Associa
tion, has been named. Jackson
and Butts county did not get a
man on the committee. In a per
sonal letter Mr. Howell writes
that he did not appoint a man
from here for the reason that he
wanted to be fair as between the
two routes, the one from Atlanta
to Macon via Griffin and Barnes
ville and the one via Jackson and
Indian Springs. This perhaps
prevented him from appointing
a Butts county man, as he was
urged to do by the Chamber of
Commerce.
The committee named incudes
the following: Clark Howell,
chairman, Atlanta, Emory Win
ship, secretary, Macon, E. H.
Inman, assistant secretary, At
lanta, W. F. Eve, Augusta, H. T.
Tarver, Albany, J. G. Knapp,
Fitzgerald, R. J. Davant, Savan
nah, W. S. Holman, Athens,
Gordon Lee, Chicamauga.
This committee will eGfcttl©
courses and award th € pi‘U fr
the best roads.
