THE COCHRAN JOURNAL, COCHRAN, GEORGIA.
Chamber of Commerce
Should Be Reorganized
(Reproduced by request)
There is not a city of any import
ance or size in the state of Georgia
but what has a Chamber of Com
merce. If the city of Cochran has
no such an organization, she is in
the back-ground, behind the times.
If she does have one, it must not
he in name only but in deed and
practice, a livejehamber, not dead.
“A chamber of commerce is not
for pecuniary gain.” A chamber
of commerce is voluntary organiza
tion, tilth or association, incorpo
rated or otherwise, composed of
merchants, bankers, manufacturers,
doctors lawyers, artisans, trades
men, planters and other citizens,
whose sole aim is the growth, wel
fare and prosperity of the city and
district of which they are compo
nent parts. The question that nat
urally arises-is this: “Why should
Cochran reorganize and maintain a
live chamber of commerce?
To work, to hustle, move and
keep on moving, conquering and
still to conquer for the best inter
osts of the public. Wc have a
splendid city, generous, hospitable
people, plenty of wealth and pros
perity, a large trunk line, and oil
mill, ginnery, cotton mill, municip
al light and water works, prosperous
banking institutions, and large cor
porate limits, but it is not, there
fore, what we already have but how
much more we can have. The idle
and vacant lots in the business por
tion of the town and the large mu
nicipal area within wnich lay
thousand of resident lots may mark
the general outline of, but do not
make, the city. There is a necessi
ty f. r an incoming population, and
permanent settlers who can build
stores, erect residences, put up
manufactories for various purposes
and thus revive the building trade
so as to give employment to labor
ers, who are eager to utilize their
siw and bummer, pick and shovel,
the noise of which could be beard
beyond the limits of the city and
echo and reecho in tlie distant
parts.
With the increase of population
comes the increase in commerce.
That means reasonable transporta"
lion facilities, comfortable and
commodious freight and passenger
terminals, new railroads and shops,
uptown telegraph and telephone
offices, looking for and locating
new territory for our merchants
and producers, encouraging new en
terprises, and offering inducements
to manufacturers to locate here, to
print maps, circulars, and placards
and seat! or them far and wide to
the four winds of the earth and let
the world know that w T e are in
earnest and mean business.
There is another question which
a live chamber is to consider —the
question of finance. So long as the
world keeps moving there will be
the necessity of two classes of peo
ple, the debtor and the creditor.
They are indispensable and interde
pendent. The wheel of commerce
must move. Money is the object
sought for. Our banks are solvent
and prosperous. They have done
and are doing all in their power to
relieve any financial stringency.
Their means, however, are limited
and inadequate. The demand for
money is heavy. The supply is
very brief. We have to look to
other financial institutions for the
needed help. Hence there is the
necessity of inviting capital from
beyond our borders, to lend money
to the h: nest and worthy people, to
build houses, factories, to replenish
merchandise, to purchase farms
and real estate. If we do not ac
commodate our citizens, who are in
need cf this precious article, they
will go to other cities and get what
they want. They do this now and
have done so in the past. This is
not a healthy symptom of a progres
sive city. Help your home people
and in the long run they will help
and build your community.
Civic and social improvement are
also in the province of a live cham
ber of commerce; however, we nave
no time to dwell on these points for
the present. Suffice it to say that
our sister organization, known as
the civic league, composed of the
best and most enterprising ladies of
tbe town, is doing all it can t° that
end. They deserve much praise
and credit.
Where a Chamber of Commerce is
organized and used for only “us
four and no more” it has been a
monumental failure. The mission
of the institution is great, its field
is large, its scope is broad. It
Knows no limit, no boundaiy. Let
the scope of the club be extended to
the adjacent country and farmers
and rural residents be invited to its
membership. In a word “Trento
nize” the chamber. Tbe real
meaning of this is ‘‘simply an effort
to do away with the imaginary line
known as corporate limits oj a town
and to remove the artificial barriers
between the city and tlie country.
So lona as the rural and urban in
terests are considered in anywise
antagonistic, neither of them can
develop as they should.”
In conclusion, we will say that
let the various committees of the
chamber, namely, on population,
on commerce, finance, on civic and
social improvement, on visitors,
fairs conventions, printing and
disseminating literature, and on
rural districts, he wide awake, work
in unison and harmoniously, look
ing forward toward one glorious
object, the building up of a greater
Cochran, with a populous and pros
perous rural community.
