Construction of Big
Addition to Osprey
Mill Reported Certain
Large Addition to Osprey
Will House New
Machinery.
BOOM IN BUILDING
TRADES LOCALLY IS
HOPED AS RESULT
Present Prices of Material
Is Stimulating
Construction.
Construction of a large addition
to the Osprey Mill of the Bibb
Manufacturing Company at Porter
dale w ju begin July 1st according
to leports received this week.
The addition, primarily designed
to house 250 new looms, will pro
j vide additional floor space in excess
of 100.000 square feet, and repre
sents one oi me largest construe
j t ; on projects instituted in Newton
county in several years,
The. addition will join the main
building on the North and West
sides and when completed will leave
I tlrie big structure almost in the shape
| 0 f a perfect square
The new structure will require
space now occupied by several em
i pioyees’ houses. These, it is under
stood, will be moved to new loca
tions at once.
The project will greatly stimulate
employment and business in the
building trades and may doubtless
prove a forerunner to general local
business revival.
The present appropriation comes
close on the heels of the announce
ment of the gift of a new $75.00C
athletic building by Mr. James A.
Porter, vice-president of the Com
pany. to the youth of Porterdale.
Construction of this building, it:
is understood, will begin immediately,
An unusually large number of new
homes have been recently built or
are under construction in Covington
and vicinity this year.
The Dresent cost of building ma
terials ‘and the comparative ease
in securing labor, is making of the
present season one of opportunity
to secure construction at below
average costs
The bottom of the present reces
sion in general business seems to
be definitely past.

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1938
Agricultural
News Given By
County Agent
Good Prospects for Payment
Of Farm Applications
Announced.
CREAM STATION TO
BE OPENED IN THIS
CITY ON SATURDAY
Advise Farmers to Cooperate
In the Cotton Program
In County.
The prospects look some better
or Newton County to get payments
under the 1937 farm program. Ail
applications have been forwarded
to Athens except the usual late ones
that are held up due to deaths,
people moved away and other causes
that cannot be prevented. We were
in conversation with the Athens
office this week and they informed
us that our applications were be
ing forwarded to the General Ac
counting Office for payment and that
we should get our checks as soon
as they can be printed and mailed
out. How long this will require we
do not know as the General Ac
counting office has been somewhat
overrun recently but were putting
on a larger working force. To say
Lhe least of it we are glad the ap
plications are in the mill and that
the turnout if and when will be
checks.
Our understanding is that th?
cream station will be opened in
Covington again beginning th l c
Saturday. If you have a surplus of
milk probably a cream check even
though small will turn a waste info
some cash. Then skimmed milk is
as good for hogs as is whole milk If
interested call at the station and
talk your situation over with the
manager.
Measurements for compliance un
der the 1938 farm program were
begun this week We would like to
urge that, all producers cooperate
with the Supervisor when he comes
£o tfeieir farm. If the farm boundaries
can be correctly ascertained and
someone familiar with the farm
accompany the supervisor and m
Qlea * 10 11 e ^ al ’ ou * * u ‘‘
visions as necessitated by d.fferen
mterested parties then the work will
n,ove uch faster and with a greater
aeffree of accuracy. One reason the
1937 checks have been delayed is
the large number of farms we had
to measure more than once and so
often without cause except for the
Jact tha * the P rodu cer was not pres
ent when the farm was marked ou?
and was just dissatisfied
A producer will not be able to sell
his cotton thls y ear (il his acreage
ha ’ s been measured To kea P down
delay at selling time will tax the
facilities of our office even with
P r0 P er cooperation on the part of
the producers. So go with the super
visor and see tbe * ines separat
ing the various crops are placed cor
rectl y on the aerla! photograph. If
you will do that it will certainlv
save time as n requires about twice
the tirne t0 con- ect an error on the
ma P and on a11 the P a Pcrs than it
does to get them all correct the first
time
Our understanding is that an Ex
tension to the present lines of the
Snapping Shoals Electric Member
ship Corporation has been made
down to the F. F. A Camp on Lake
Jackson and that other extensions
are to be completed shortly. It is
expected that within a few dajs the
bne from Starrsville toward Dixie
win be under construction as the
extension from Starrsville dow'fi
through Hayston. Brickstore on down
by thc Pinegrove community has
been done and is hoped that this
s€ction wlu be ready for construe
tion as soon as the present ones
are completed. The completion of'
these extensions will electrify the
major portion of Newton County It
is hoped that other extensions may
be worked up as additional terri
tory becomes feasible.
We attended a conference in Sa
\annah last week of all the county
agents in the state and found them
al! wanting checks just like we were

NEW SURVEY WILL BE t
MADE SOON BY THE i
POSTOFFICE OFFICIALS
“I Do Not Have Final Voice
In Determining Service” I
Says Owen.
Covington citizens and officials
were certain this week that the Free
Mail Delivery Service would become
a reality within the near future be- l
cause a second investigation has
been called by Assistant Attorney
General W. W. Howes.
The second survey of this area
was called after numerous requests
had been made during the past week
by citizens of Covington and through
out Newton County These requests
were mailed direct to Congressman
Owens, of this district, wno advised
the Postmaster General to call tne
second investigation,
Several City officials, in last week's
issue of the New.,, stated that the
postof/ice inspector did not include
the entire city in his survey recently.
They announced that North Coving
ton, Covington Mills and other sec
tions of this city were not included.
It is necessary that Covington have
2.500 persons and only 1,800 were
given by the inspector in the survey.
A large number of letters have
been received by the News from Cov
mgton people who advise that their
area was not included in the in
spection. One of these letters is
published on the Editorial page un
der "Letters to the Editor ’ upon
request
Last week, several city officers ad
vised press representatives tiut
"Congressman Owen could secure
the Free Mail Service and the re
sponsibility rested on his shoulders.”
In answer to this statement which
appeared in last weeks issue, Mr.
Ow'en wrote the Editor as follows:
June 11. 1938.
Mr. A B Dennis, Editor,
The Covington News,
Covington, Georgia.
Dear Mr Dennis:
I have just read an article on the
front page of your paper with ref
erence to the application of the city
of Covington for city mail delivery
servjce.
The article I refer to stated that I
the matter of getting this service i
rested entirely on my shoulders, and
that I could give you the service if
I so desire.
The matter of determining whether
not this service should be grant- i
or
ed is in the hands of Postal officials,
and I do not have a final voice, in
it. as suggested in the article.
Of course I want you to have this
service, and the enclosed copy of
letter from the First Assistant Post
master General will show that X
have been successful in getting
another investigation made by the
D epar£ ment. In this connection, may
j suggest that you, Mr. Callaway,
Mr, Wood and those .nterested m
getting this service there, go into
£be matter thoroughly with the in
spec t or explaining to him about the
additional territory that should to
rightly served.
There is a postal regulation which
minimum of 2500 i
requires that a
persons residing within improved
territory receive this service. I hope
tba t the additional territory men
£ j one d in Mr. Wood's letter will be
included in the investigation which
will be made at an early date.
Will you kindly correct the matter
in y 0Ur next week's issue.
j am anxious and ready to render
an y possible service in connection
w j £ h the application at this end of
the line,
With kindest regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
