'MAYOR JONES MAKES
WRITES CARD TO BUSINESS MEN
OF CORDELE TOUCHING MAT
.~ TERS OF VITAL IMPPORTANCE.
Following is a letter from Mayor J.
Gordon Jones addressed to the busi
ness men of Cordele. The spirit which
prompted this letter is too strong and
earnest to be passed lightly:
“To the Business Men of Cordele:”
“Only a few days ago, one of the
prominent bankers of the city, stated
to me, that chances were good to in
-erest certain men who could control
‘he capital, and would get busy to or
zanize a company to build a cotton
mill in this city. It was further in
‘ormed that this banker had conferred
with certain interests in the state, in
erested in the promotion of building
sotton mills, and that Cordele was
sne of the points attractive to these
nen who know the cotton mill busi
ness. This public spirited Cordelean
appealed to me, to get in touch with
‘he out-side and help bring to our city,
this enterprise.
“Alright, I am in for it, but T can’t
furnish the money to interest the man
on the out-side. It will take a pull
and a pull all together to master an
undertaking like this. Build a cotton
mill. Open Cordele up to where the
the smoke stacks will belch-forth
gigns of industry.
“Mr. Business man, do you own a
brick store? Are you satisfied with
the daily wrestle you are making tc
and tongue together until the farmer
fied to wait until fall and get what you
can out of the farmer, negro tenant.
and begin the year by begging your
banker for a small loan to keep buckle
and tongue tofether until the farmer
and negrc tenant can come around
again? It is enough to make you feel
small when you cannot point to @&
Chamber of Commerce, a business
men’s league, no organization among
you to foster your own interest and
to help the other fellow. Is it a fact
that every fellow in Cordele is for him
self and the devil for all?
“What are you doing to encourage
any one? Absolutely nothing. You
will not even support a Chamber of
Commerce, you will not even meet
with one another and discuss issues
that are of vital concern to your city.
let me warn you, if you do not bestir
vourselves and wake up to what you
can do for your own welfare and the
lasting good to your city, your days
are numbered, mark what I say.
“Success follows the man or set of
‘men ' who can do things. Dilly and dal
ly a little while longer and the golden
opportunity now knocking at your door
will knock no more. 1 am appealing
to you to wake up. Dont get mad and
show your narrowness, but say yes,
we are with you or any other citizen
who will squeal and call to us to come
mn.
“Mr. Business Man, will you not
think seriously over this, and after you
have passed judgment, write me a
card and tell me whether or not you
igree with me? After I have received
as many replies as I can expect, I will
ask the papers to publish your cards,
and in that way possibly we can or
ganize a Board of Trade, Chamber of
Commerce or Pusiness Men’s League,
and thereby get something to going
that we will all be interested in and
will give it our support. A heave and
a hove all together will mean some
thing sure as the sun shines.
“J. Gordon Jones.”
