Let Us Boost You.
We want to boost you—yes, you, individually. Will you give
us the opportanity ?
This town needs a booster, and we stand readyto boost the
town booster—and the town tco. Shall we boost you?
We need some energetic man who will marshal his pluck and
determination and round all of the rest of us up into one great
aggregation of boosters. It takes brains to do it, but some one
among us possesses the requisite amount of bralns.
Fitzgerald needs him, the whole community needs him, and
we never needed him worse than we do right now, when nature
h s afforded us so many opportunities for commercial advance
ment.
Are you that man?
We hope you are. We want to see you step forward and
assume the laudable task. We want to see you succeed. A n d
then we want to boost you because of the boosting you have don
for the town.
Georgia Against The Sale of W. & A.
The advocates for the sale of the W. &. A. Railroad, contine
ously harp on the uses to which the propable millions to be secured§
out of the sale of the road could be put. Among others, it is es- }
pecially insisted that Georgia’s six million of bonds outstanding
would be retired with the funds. Now it is well known that these
bonds have been refunded for another period of twenty or thirty
years within the past two years and will certainly not become due
within a generation. To buy them now, if their present holders
were inclined to sell them, would cost the State a large sum in
the shape of premium. The Atlanta Georgian boldly exposes this
phace of the *'sell at any price’” propandists in Ja recent full page
editorial, in which this progressive paper, strongly advocates the
retention of this property and its possible extension. In reference
to the bonds the Georgian states:
““The suggestion is being advanced Insistently here and there
that the State should sell the Western and Atlantic Railroad and
pay Georgia’s bonded indebtedness. And quite elaborate and
clever are the arguments set up to sustaln this more or less per
suasive idea.
There is however. no demand throughout the State that the
bonded indebtedness be paid off at this particular time, Moreover,
there is no business necessity for it.
This debt is relatively small, and is being carried ata re
markably low rate of interest. The security behind it is many
times the amount of the same—and this bonded debt can not be
increased one penny under the Constitution.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad is the solid foundation up
on which GEORGIA’S MAGNIFICENT CREDIT abroad securely
rests—and this highly important truth was splendidly demonstrat
a few months ago, when Georgia refunded part of her indebtness
at an astonishingly low rate of interest, notwithstanding the fact
that the bond market at the time was so notoriously depressed
and bonds difficult of negotiation, at any price.
Undoubtedly it was the great Western and Atlantic Railroad
systom behind these bonds that enabled the administration of that
year to handle Georgia’s bonds to so great an advantage
If there were no other reason, therefore, to object to thesale of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad at this time, this fact— that 1s the
one big asset readily ard continuously availible as a basis of credit
—should stand forever as a bulwark between the people and every
selfish interest that might attack the road from any quarter.
There is no clamor from the boncholders to sell their bongs.
Even if the road WERE sold, Georgia’s bonds could not be immedi
ately liquidated with vut the consent of the bondholders—and certain
no reasonable citizen could expect the bondholders, in the
circumstances then existing, to dispose of their holdings to the State of
Georgia at anything like par. Georgia, to take up these bonds, un
doubtedly would have to pay a tremendous premium. He is a poor
judge of humau nature who thinks otherwise,
In addition to that, after Georgia had retired her bonds—if she
should retire them—what would she do with the millions of dollars
stll in band?
There would be only one medium through which th .t monev
could be disposed of—the Georgia Legislature.
How manv tixpavers, big and little, would wish to turn that
tuoney over to thi> Georgia Legislature, to be fashioned into a large
pie, to be whacked up here and there for this, that and the other
g uipose.”
