What heretofore has been a proba
bility in regard to the big darn across
Ocmulgee river, eight miles east of
Jackson, is now reduced to a cer
tainty. The people not connected
with the production of this gigantic
enterprise took little notice of the
movement and what it means to this
section of the State until Monday
morning ot this week when the con
tractors began to unload in Jackson
with supplies and implements pre
paratory to striking dirt. This evi
dence of certainty aroused a few of
the foreseeing citizens, who began
to husHe themselves and take notice.
On Tuesday morning when the long
line of muies, wagons, carts, scrapes
and machines passed down the
streets there was no longer any doubt
as to the certainty of the long-dream
ed-of railroad, for this slow-moving
procession spoke in terms more elo
quent than words that something
was doing in the State ot Denmark,
and the entire population of Jackson
ran in a body to greet the Central
Georgia Power Company and to
pledge their unanimous and undi
vided support.
A circular was immediately dis
tributed, calling a mass meeting of
the citizens for Wednesday. In re
sponse to this call all the stoies,
offices and shops were closed, and
the business men, together with a
large number of citizens along the
route from Jackson to the dam, met
in the court house for the purpose of
assuring the promoters of this enter
prise that Jackson and Butts county
are right with them, and that the
city of Jackson welcomed them to
their midst with outstretched arms.
The mass meeting was called to
order by Mayor S. O. Ham, and many
of the business men made enthusias
tic talks along the line of the ulti
mate good this enterprise would be
to this community and surrounding
territory. Among those who made
talks were F. S. Etheridge. T. J.
Dempsey, T. H. Buttrill, W. J.
Wood, R. P. Sasnett and Dr. R. W.

H. Buttrill a committee was ap
pointed for the purpose of conferring

Georgia Power Company and extend
ing to them on behalf of the city and
