TOUR
GEORGIA
CONCORD, Ga. -
Combine a pleasant autumn
weekend with Georgia’s
fun-loving people and their
rich cultural heritage and the
result is sure to be a
fascinating series of fall
festivals statewide.
The weekend is October
16-17, 1976, and the festivals
include The Concord Country
Jubilee in Pike Country, Gold
Rush Days at Dahlonega, and
Brown’s Crossing Craftsmen
Fair near Milledgeville.
Each festival highlights the
uniqueness of an area and
draws travelers off busy
interstate highways to stroll
side-by-side with natives
unhurriedly chatting, buying
or just browsing at hundreds
of handmade products.
At Concord, the third
annual Concord Country
Jubilee is celebrated along
railroad tracks that once bore
President Franklin D.
Roosevelt’s tragic funeral
train from the Little White
House back to Washington.
Now, the town is bustling
with plans for the Jubilee,
October 16 and 17, when
more than 100 exhibitors will
display almost everything
from delicate needlework to
wood and leather products.
An old cotton warehouse
here will attract visitors with
a special exhibit of family
heirlooms and farm
implements, and the aroma of
early morning sausage biscuits
is guaranteed to stir one’s
memories. Concord is an easy
drive from Columbus, Macon,
and Atlanta.
Gold Rush Days held each
October around the Gold
Museum at Dahlonega
recreates the time when gold
mining activities dominated
northeast Georgia. (The ore
discovered here in 1828 led
to the nation’s first major
gold rush, and a U.S. Mint
operated for years on land
now used by North Georgia
College.) Events scheduled
during this year’s Gold Rush
Days, October 16 and 17, run
the gamut from mountain
clogging and hog calling to a
wheelbarrow race and liar’s
contest. Anyone may try his
those in the home arts and
crafts department and the
photography department.
Articles for exhibit in the
culinary, needlework, tex
tiles. domestic anf fine arts
classes of the home arts and
crafts department will be
received in the Arts and
Crafts Building from Oct. 11
through 6 p.m. Oct 13. Only
amateurs in Georgia may
enter. Separate painting
sections are open for children
between the ages of nine and
12, 13 to 16 years of age and
over 17 years of age. There is
also a crafts and sewing
category for children ages 10
to 12, a section for crafts by
the blind and a section for
crafts by exceptional child
ren and adults.
Only residents of Georgia
may enter prints in the
photography competition.
Pictures must have been
taken since Jan. 1,1973, must
be at least 65 inches square in
size and will be received
from Oct. li through Oct. 13
from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the
fair’s Arts and Crafts
Building. Mail or express
exhibits from out-of-town
exhibitors will be received
be'ween Oct. 4 and Oct. 13.

everyone’s sure to enjoy the
mountain arts and crafts on
display.
Farther south, near
Milledgeville, Brown’s
Crossing was a thriving
community during the late
1800s when cotton was king.
The boll weevil toppled that
throne about the
turn-of-the-century, but
Brown’s Crossing comes alive
again each October when
fun-seekers and lovers of
native products gather to see
the crafts and skills some
thought to be lost art appear
before one’s eyes. Here, a
woodcarver, potter, spinner,
and weavers. There, basket
and soap makers,
needleworkers, stone faceters,
even a miller grinding out
sugar cane. At Brown’s
Crossing, the gates open daily
at 9 a.m. Free parking is
available nearby with shuttle
bus service provided to the
festival grounds.
Another festival planned
October 16 and 17 at Stone
Mountain Park pays tribute
to the hearty Scotsmen who
helped tame frontier Georgia.
The Scottish Festival and
Highland Games include
championship pipe bands,
game competition, Scottish
foods and products.
A few days later, at
Soperton, the state’s leading
producer of raw pine gum,
celebrates the 4th annual
Million Pines Arts and Crafts
Festival November 6 and 7 in
Iva Park. Here, old-fashioned
pit-cooked barbecue attracts
visitors who’ll enjoy watching
Aunt Sophia spinning on her
great grandmother’s spinning
wheel. There’ll also be
candlemakers, leather
crafters, and hundreds of
one-of-a-kind products. The
Million Pines Arts and Crafts
Festival is a great place to
begin one’s Christmas
shopping. Soperton is located
between Macon and Savannah
on 1-16.

ON NOVEMBER 2,1976, when the gubernatorial succession
amendment is put before the people of Georgia in the General
Election, voters will have an opportunity to test the confidence
they have in their own judgment and intelligence.
I have faith in the people of Georgia. I know they are
capable of demanding and receiving honest, effective, and pro
gressive government. I know the State of Georgia can produce
leaders of integrity to guide the State toward social and eco
nomic progress for four years or for eight years, as the people
wish.
That is the essence of Amendment No. 2 to the Georgia
Constitution. It would permit a Governor to seek a successive
term of office. It would allow the people to decide for them
selves if that Governor should hold another term.
This amendment is based on the right of the people to elect
or not elect. I intend to vote for the amendment. I hope the
people of Georgia also will vote for the amendment, and restore
to themselves the full right to choose and determine the election
of Governor.
* * *
THERE IS NOTHING mandatory about the amendment. It
preordains nothing. It takes nothing from the people. It in no
way dilutes the power of the people in exercising their right to
vote in candidates they want or vote out candidates they do
not want.
Every constitutional officer of the State of Georgia except the
Governor may seek as many terms as he or she may desire.
They may be reelected as many times as the people so desire.
I can conceive of no reason in present-day Georgia why this
option should be closed to the most responsible position in the
State, and denied to the people as well in determining who shall
hold this office.
Georgia is one of only eight states that still prohibits a
Governor from succeeding himself. With seven states amend
ing their Constitutions in the past decade to allow gubernatorial
succession, the trend is definitely in this direction.
The Georgia General Assembly has overwhelmingly approved
the amendment. It has the endorsement of the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor and most of Georgia’s former Governors.
I join this effort to widen the rightful choice of Georgia voters
and to make state government and the Office of Governor more
responsive to the people.
