ELECTRJCPOWER
An Editorial From the Pen
of Perry D. Rich, in the
Colquitt (Ga.) Sun.
It is said that twenty-five years ago
Lee Hall, of Baker County, while a
mere lad, stood on the banks of the
rushing Notchaway Creek and pre
dicted that twenty years hence there
would be a powerful dam across said
creek and that the surrounding coun
try would be furnished hydro-electric
current by the waters of that creek.
Lee’s dream is about to come true.
The dam is nearing com potion. The
wheels are in place and in a short
while the current will be turned on.
I would like to hear his prediction
for twenty-five years hence as to what
hydro-electric power will be doing in
this section of the country.
Is it not possible that hydro-electric
power will be accessible in every town
and on the principal highways of this
section?
How do they know we will be using
automobiles twenty-five years from
now? Who knows but that aeroplanes
and electric vehicles will supersede
Henry's flivver?
I think it is indeed fortunate that
these things are being developed by
private capital and not by the state
and its political subdivisions, because
then its failure would be assured.
I have no sympathy with the at
tempt now being made to create a
sentiment in this state in favor of
public ownership of such industries.
In every city that I know anything
about they have made a signal failure
with municipal ownership. Here in
Colquitt right now we are having to
pay more for electricity than any
where else by reason of the city own
ership of the plant. If this plant was
owned by a private corporation 1 am
sure that the rates would not be near
ly so heavy as they are now.
A private corporation will nearly
always have able management. A
city will always have political man
agement. A private corporation will
operate their business economically
and the city management doesn’t care.
At any rate the municipalities that
have tried owning their own plants
have made miserable failures with
only c few exceptions and the private
corporations generally succeed.
If the Baker County Power Com
pany was owned by a city, county or
state it would never have been built.
If it had been built the waste and
graft in its construction would have
made its cost of construction enor
mous.
The United States government built
Muscle Shoals and look what a mess
it is.
I say let the private corporations
develop these things and then let the
people see to it that they treat the
public right.—Adv. It
A recent note in science records
what is believed to be the temperate
zone record for a single season’s
growth of a shoot of the tree type of
the woody plant. This phenomenal
shoot grew from the stump of a be
headed Paulownia and reached a
height of 21 feet 6 inches, a circum
ference of 10 inches at the base, and
had 24 leaves, one of which meas
ured late in July, was found to be 38
inches long in the largest dimension.

A FRIEND’S TRIBUTE
TO MRS. W. A. PROUT
The notice in the columns of your
paper of the passing of Mrs. W. A.
Prout will go out to hundreds of her
friends as a sad reminder of one of
the most lovable women, and all will
grieve that earth has lost one who
added so richly to all that made life
brighter and better.
She was in many respects a most
unusual woman, possessing a combi
nation of characteristics, any one of
which would have rendered her an in
comparable friend. Every one mar
veled at her wonderful spirit of
benevolence, not only toward those
who loved her best but to every one
who was less fortunate did she open
her purse and her heart and gave
bountifully and lovingly.
She was essentially a home-maker,
excelling to a great degree in that
most womanly attribute. She was
the guiding spirit, the sunshine of
life not only to the loving and loved
inmates of her home circle, but every
one so fortunate as to be her guest
felt the charm of her cheerful smile
and unquestioned sincerity.
The beneficent gift of service was
hers, service whenever and wherever
needed she rendered unstintingly and
lovingly. In church work, civic im
provement, or for social pleasure she
served helpfully, giving money, time
and thought for the benefit of others.
To serve others was to her unselfish
nature so great a pleasure that no
self denial, no sacrifice was too great
for her. She thought of no reward,
she asked no return, but found her
greatest happiness in the pleasure her
service bestowed upon others. Her
cheerful attitude and her beaming
smile betokened such unmistakable
interest in brightening the lives of
those about her that it was only af
terward that they realized the extent
of her munificence.
All who knew Mrs. Prout intimate
ly can feelingly respeat with one who
said, “Truly, in all that Heaven and
earth has given me, nothing is to be
compared with the friendship of such
a woman.”

TYBEE
“Where Ocean Breezes
Blow.”
Tybrisa (owned by the Central of
Georgia Railway), the choice clear
ing house for joy and contentment
and vacation amusement on famed
Tybee Island, premier of South At
lantic seashore resorts, opens the
1922 season Saturday, May 13. Every
preliminary arrangement has been
giv; n expert and adequate attention,
and the guests will find greater pleas
ure and a vaster variety of delight
than at any former season.
Tybrisa has just been given a thor
ough over-hauling. The minutest de
tail has not been everlooked. The
big dancing pavilion, ornate, brilliant,
unqualifiedly classy, is in fine condi
tion—the Hoor is as smooth as the
proverbial glass and the electric light
ing, refreshment booths and other
features in strict and standard ac
cord. The bathhouses are in perfect
shape, clean, attractive and with
every convenience; the bathing suits
are up-to-now, chic, stylish and of
every shade. In the language of the

Hoyt Ware, trained in handling the
public and always courteous, is the
new manager at Tybrisa. He will as

Olympia Sextet, reputed to be the
best dance orchestrn in the South,
will be a feature attraction at Tybrisa
this season. This Orchestra has been
engaged by the Central of Georgia
at a tremendous expense in order to
give the people the best in dance
music, and the cost of dancing to the
public will be the same as before.
Dancing, bathing, boating, picnick
ing and other climaxes of genuine
hnppincss abound at Tybee. The
ocean dips and the cool invigorating
bree:.es not only guarantee pleasure
and comfort but health. The big
playground beneath the dancing pa
vilion and the wide, roomy, shady
picnic pagoda above the bathhouses
add the final touches to the great
pleasure plant at Tybrisa. Lunches,
coffee, sandwiches, soft drinks, hotels,
cottages, everything’s at Tybee; real
pleasure may be had at small cost by
the hour, by the day or by the season.
Hotel Tybee, of Spanish architect
ure and imposingly attractive, will
open May 24. The hotel grounds,
walks, shaded nooks, bathing pavil
ion, and other pleasing adjuncts are
in first-class condition. Every con
venience and every courtesy are as

the rising livestock industry of the
South, especially Georgia. This car
of lime will be distributed among ten
or fifteen men who will agree to use
it for Alfalfa, to be planted by the
best prescribed methods this Fall.
The Planters Limestone Company
of Coreen, Ga., is donating this ma
terial and is offering very close prices

THE PARABLE
OF WHITE PAPER
There spake unto me a man, in
quiring and saying, For what art thou
most thankful?
And I answered and said, I am so
thankful for so many things, it is
Difficult to Specify. Not until I have
a Cinder in mine Eye or an ache in
one Tooth or an hurt on the end of
one Finger, do I realize how many
are the blessings which I have nearly
all the time. But if lam to answer
thee right off the Bat, I would say
that among the things for which I
am most thankful, is White Paper.
And he said, I had not thought of
that as among life’s major blessings.
And I said, I can take a scrap of
White Paper and transform it into
a Promissory Note which the Bank
will accept for an Hundred Shekels.
I can make of it a check which the
Butcher or the Baker or the Candle
stick Maker will accept for ten shek
els as if it were that much Gold. I
can write upon it an Hymn, and it
will be sung on the Sabbath in the
House of God. I can write a Letter
of Comfort that will warm the heart
of a friend. I can send tidings be
yond the Sea, and convey Information
and Affection to lands afar.
And he said, I had not thought of
all that.
And I said, When there cometh to
me from the Stationer a Package of
White Paper, all in even and trimmed
sheets, I look at it with a kind of
reverence as I consider what shall
be the destination of those Five Hun
dred flat and unsoiled leaves. For
with it I can blow up more trouble
than with a Stick of Dynamite; and
with it I can write that which shall
be read by an Hundred Thousand
folk.
And he said, I shall think more
about Taper hereafter.
And I said, When the great Apostle
Paul was in prison, and near to his
death, he wrote unto Timothy for the
Cloak which he had left at Troas
with Crispus; for Winter was coming,
and the Jail was cold and damp. And
he wrote for his Books, for his mind
was alert that he might read. But
there was one thing which he wanted
even more, and that was something
updn which he could write. For he
was full of Messages, and he wished
for Parchment. Had he lived in the
days of Paper, how would his fingers
have itched to get at it. Therefore
do I thank God for Wh : te Paper; and
I seek to write nothing that would
shame me if I should see it posted
upon the Bulletin Board in the town
where I reside. For White Paper is
a Peril as well as a Blessing; and the
Letter Killeth.—New York Watch
man-Examiner.
TUBERCULOSIS NOTES.
The death rate in tuberculosis is de
creasing in ihe United States, but is
still much too high. Much need3 to
be done— Georgia needs a larger and
more modern Sanatorium—and badly
needs a Sanatorium for negroes. The
State Board of Health has each year
recommended that these two improve
ments be made—they are urgently nec-
esssary.
The public should make insistent de
mand upon the coming Legislature for
the erection of a larger Sanatorium for
whites with provision for treatment of
negro tubercular patients. Forty-five
per cent or more of Georgia’s popula
tion is negroes, and they suffer with
and spread tuberculosis to a greater
degree than the white race. Any anti
tubercuolsis program which does not
take into serious consideration the ne
gro tuberculate is doomed to failure
at its inception.
Tuberculosis is not inherited. This
is a disease that is caused by infection
with a specific germ which always
comes from another case of tuberculo
sis.
Childhood is the usual time of life
when tuberculosis is contracted —but
one may not break down with the dis
ease until later life.
No state can thrive while its citi
zens w r aste their resources of health,
bodily energy, time and brain power,
aay more than a nation may prosper
that wastes its natural resources. Ap
ply to the Georgia State Board of
Health for pamphlets and other infor
mation. Ask them any question along
these lines.
Frequent physical inspection is the
best form of business insurance. Have
a reputable phvsician look you over
once or twice a year.
