Tie In Sumter Liquor
Vote To Bring Fight
A record of 610 votes for repeal and
610 votes against repeal was the re
sult announced at Americus last Fri
day of Sumter county’s March 2nd lo-j
cal option referendum. The leaders of ;
the repeal forces announced that they
would institute mandamus proceed
ings if necessary to force another
election, at once, At the same time
the “dry” forces declared that the vote
barred another for two years under
the law.
Lawyers have found no provision
in the laws providing for elections in
the case of tie votes, and it is indi
cated that the question may have to
be taken before the State Supreme
Court before a final decision on the
matter is reached.
Rural precincts went “dry” by a 114
vote majority while Americus voted
“wet” by an identical majority of 114
votes.
Rain caused the smallness of the
vote.
A farm inventory at the beginning
of the year is a good way to begin
keeping a farm record.

Annual C. of C.
Report.
Below is the annual report of
Secretary M. L. Mayes, of the local
Chamber of Commerce:
A large part of our work last year
has been directed to improvement of
our highways. It was decided early in
1938 that this Would be our major
program for the year. Securing the
remaining deeds which were needed
to complete Route 111, thru Calvary
to the Florida line, was the first step
that demanded our attention. With
this sign-up complete our efforts were
directed to getting work started on
this road. Through our committeee
we kept in constant touch with state
and county officials. Construction on
Route No. Ill, now well under Way,
was very encouraging to those who
have worked so faithfully to bring
this about.
We have worked in close harmony
with county officials in obtaining the
right-of-way deeds on Route 93,
Cairo to Beachton, and are glad to
report that the sign-up of these
right-of-way deeds is so nearly com
plete that Work on this route can be
started at once and we are assured by
the State Highway Department that
construction will begin in a few days.
A post roads project south of Cairo
is under construction and the overpass
in the City of Cairo, a Federal grade
crossing elimination project, is al
most complete. The fine team work
by everyone connected with our road
program has brought gratifying re
sults.
In developing a sound livestock pro
gram for Grady county it was decided
that the most profitable branch to
most of our farmers would be an in
crease in the production and quality
of hogs. A committee from the Cham
ber of Commerce, working With the
teacher of Vocational Agriculture in
the Cairo High School, the County
Agent and our livestock dealers, had
a very fine livestock meeting at the
Courthouse in February where educa
tional talks and sanitary swine ex
hibits w r ere arranged.
This was the beginning of our fat
hog contest which was carried on thru
the spring and summer and which end
ed with a fat hog show and sale on
Aug. 16th at the yards of the West
Packing Co. This auction brought
representatives of all the big packing
concerns and premium prices were
paid. One hundred and fifty dollars
in prizes was donated by business con
cerns of Cairo to successful contest
ants.
In order that they might discuss
matters of interest to them the retail
merchants were brought together at
a fish fry in Davis Park where com
mittees were formed to handle prob
lems with which they were particular
ly concerned.
As is often the case, the marketing
of Watermelons proved a difficult one
for the growers during the past eea
son. Our organization gave material
help during this period.
During the summer, what is term
ed in some quarters os the “Georgia
Florida fish license war” bobbed up
again. We protested to Georgia offic
ials on the grounds that if a peaceful
settlement were not reached, South
Georgia farmers would be the chief
sufferers. In order to follow this up,
we went to Atlanta Florida recently legislators where a |
delegation of met
Georgia officials and legislators and
discussed this question of trade bar
riers between the states with a view
to eliminate them. With a committee
from the Southwest Georgia Poultry
and Egg Association we were able to
explain to Governor Rivers and to pro-1
test to the committee from Florida
about the discrimination against
Georgia eggs in Florida by their reg
ulations.
At the request of the city officials,
the Chamber of Commerce took
active part in reminding citizens to
register and to vote in the recent bond
election providing a sewerage disposal
plant and sewer extensions.
To make itself useful in every deu
partment of our civic life has been
the object of our organization. Wor
thy of mention among our
were the safety campaign, fire
vention program, active
in the Boy Scout movement and work
with the Red Cross. In addition to all
other activities we have waged a con
stant campaign to advertise our com
petitive markets for farm produce and
to build up the “trade at home”
spirit.
To our various committees, our of
ficers and directors, whose fine work
enabled us to accomplish much the
past year we wish to express our ap
reciation. In behalf of our members
we Wish to thank officials of the city
and county for their co-operation. We
feel veiry grateful to the editors of the
Cairo Messenger for their splendid
help and publicity.
1,000 Georgia Drivers
Lost Licenses in 1938
Approximately 1,000 Georgia auto
mobile drivers either had their driver’s
licenses suspended or revoked during
1938, according to an estimate by Ma
jor Phil BreWster of the Department
of Public Safety, this w'eek.
The driving records of more than
40,000 of the state’s some 600,000
drivers have been assembled by the
State Patrol and include warning tick
ets, records of arrests for traffic vio
lations, accident reports, etc.
More than 200 applicants for driv
er’s licenses were refused licenses be
cause of inability to drive and some
800 had to stand re-examination. This
was out of 150,000 applicants during
the year.
Major Brew'ster gave these figures
