DEAR FOLKS:
It was the writer’s great for
tune to be a member.of the Great
Tech Industrial Tour which spent
all of last week traversing Geor
gia, completely encircling the state,
and including Americas on its
itinerary last Tuesday. *t was a
wonderful trip, nn enlightening
trip und I had intended curly this
week to nut into print some of my
impressions, and those of some of
the other members of the party
of more than 100, so that us many
readers of the Time:,-Recorder as
were interested might irharo the
benefit? of the trip Hut the spec
ial breakfasts come wilh sorh dai
ly regularity, the barbecue dinners
with .etc!)'unfailing supply, anil tile
evening banquets in sues generous
lumbers that the wind up of the
trip found me horn do eoinlint—
thoroughly satiated with Georgia
hospitality and victuals—so that
tile writing of these observations
had to wait convalescence.
The one great impression of the
trip was a paradox: There is noth
ing the matter with Georgia, and
there is everything the matter
with Georgia. We found a won
derful state, a wonderful people,
saw abrolutely no novelty, found
more goods things to cat in greater
variety in every section than had
been dreamed of, found optimism
and confidence everywhere and the
people certain that the shortaga of
money, their only present shortage,
would soon be overcome. On the
other hand, we found a state of
vast mineral and potentially in
dustrial resources in almost abso
lute disuse or stagnation; we saw
great hills of rich iron ore and
never a smelter to turn it even in
to pig iron, the first stage of re
finement, Wc saw great sources
of marfcancso, ochre, bauxite and
other -minerals, ami not a shovel, r
factory turning? W saw hills of
Ih finest pottery clay in the world,
and not a pottery plant in exist
ence in the. state. Wo saw cotton
oil mills • everywhere,- but not a
soap factory anywhere to convert
it Into SmT of its principal 'prod-
ucts-which we buy back from other
states. Wc saw thousands upon
thousands of bales of cotton stack
ed about the state, for shipment
clrcwhere, and a score of more
mills which mainly produce only
yarns and the rougher grades of
cloths, leaving it to the mills of
other states and other countries to
produce the finely finished nnd
high priced cotton goods. Wc saw ,
swift-running streams with their
power going to‘ waste when it
should be turning, wheels. In i
short, wc saw a state most priml-
tive in many respects by compari
son—a state that produces or has
raw materials in great' qhantities
and, for lack of skilled Hands and
trained brains, permits it to ho
shipped out of the state at low
prices, converted into products of
every-day use and shipped back
and sold to its people at tremen
dously enhanced values.
The whole aspect was tragic
when considered thoughtly, when
what Georgia is daily parsing up
is imagined. The thing grew anil
grew on the men on that tour.
Starting out Monday morning with
a driinimed-up confidence they all
afterwards admitted, hoping ra
ther than believing, they wound
up the trip Saturday night abso
lutely '‘sold”'to tho Greater Geor
gia Tech movement and “fighting
mad” at the nig-headcdneis of
Georgia us n whole, determined to
put over this movement for the .
salvation of their state, convinced ,
that its only salvation in the try-
ing limes that are ahead for the
unprepared lies in this direction.
For those who nmy not have he
roine famaliar with the Greater
Tech movement, it may he stated
here that a campaign is to he
launched Anrit 20 for the raising of
$11,000.00(1, payable ih five years
in equal yearly installments for
the building of a Greater Geor
gia School of Technology to re
place the present inadequate !
school. The present school was
des.gncd to care for .100 pupils.
At present 2,800 have been
squeezed Into it somehow, until
the limit has been reached both
physically and in sacrifices, file
new plant will he designed to hAh-
die 5,000 students, and Will in
clude numerous departments and
brunches of study and training
not now available at Tech. All'thc
• raining will be along industrial j
lines, developing men as engineer:
and managers capable of taking
charge of all kinds of* industrial
and development work. Friends
of Tech in New York City have
volunteered to raise $1,000,000 of
the five millions, ^hc'city of At
you putting on this drive at this
time when Conditions arc so unfav
orable and times hard?” And in
the answer lies the. whole point of
the campaign, the essence of its
importance, the germ of its vital
necessity. Here is the answer:
“Bccaurc times arc hard, and
Georgia muat have something be
sides cotton, corn, livestock and
the like to depend upon in the fu
ture to keep from going bank
rupt.”
ft was pointed out by one speak
er that Georgia bad fallen hack
from sixth to twelfth in total pro-
duetion in the United States, and
that, although possessing natural
resources unsurpassed in the na
tion. and uncipialled by few states,
inanufacturs only 1 per cent of
the-manufactured products of the
United States. Another speaker
showed why wc cannot remain sol
vent and depend solely on agricul
ture in the future ns we have bare
ly in the past. . He called attention
to tho fact that in the last six
years, during the recent war pe
riod, more bonds had been , issued
than during the preceding 200
years; that the bonded Indebted
ness per capita had jumped from
something over $30 to more than
$300-and that the end was not in
sight. As an illuatration, a bond
election was on that very moment
in tho town in which the train was
stopping, $26,000 being voted for
school purposes to supplement a
B rovioua recent issue of $100,000.
te pointed out that this enormous
debt can be paid, as it must be
paid only by the utilizing of our
natural resources along with our
agricultural resources, and that
these resources can be taken ad
vantage of only by training the
brains and hands of tho boys of the
state for that particular purpose.
The people caught the idea cv-
crywhorc. They realized that the ;
Tech campaign was not merely n
money raising campaign that had
the misfortune to come along in
time of money stringency; thi
saw nt once that it was a fqi .
m-r of their salvation, the" voi.
crying in tho wilderness to lead
them and their stato to a new day;
they saw that it was their fight, not
the fight of the tourists, and that
despite the shortage of money they
could not afford not to get behind
the movement with all their ability.
That is why the Tech Tour gain
ed momentum as it sped through
Georgia facing representative !
(icnigiaiis everywhere. People,at ;
first curious came to understand, t
that understanding preceded the j
coming train, and as the week pro- !
grossed the crowds grew until the ■
final day was one continuous ova- i
tldn. At Elbcrton, on thdast day j
of the lotif,, tho whole town clos- I
od up. at noon, even if it was Sat
urday and thousands of country
people were in the city to do theli
trading. The regular meeting wei
held in the court house, but it
could not hold 10 per cent of the
crowd, so a Vast overflow speaking
was held and the people stood spell
bound, drinking-m the message of

uate of Georgia 'Tot'll' and now pres

“It doesn’t represent a small frac

abled me to uae my brains as well s*
my muscle. I want to have a share
in building a greater Georgia Tech,
which can give an opportunity

an Industrial Georgia to help
break the shackles,of all-agricul
ture. i •"
And so it went, with the public
everywhere getting the spirit of
the message and with great enthu-
liasro in place after place pledg
ing co-operation in the campaign.
But in each town it was a dif
ferent crowd, whereas on board
the train it was the same crowd.
Wfth those men, among the party ;
many of the leading citizens of .
the state, the idea kept growing. 1
too, until at the windup, although
tired, they were surcharged with .
energy and enthusiasm. They, had .
gone out to.“sell” the Greater
Tech and an Industrial Georgia ,
.idea to Georgia; tljpy had done it, ;
but had edmo home "sold” them
selves a thousand fold stronger
than it could hhvc been possible
for them to ” sell” any audi
ence.
Thai, friends, is one of the
strong things about the campaign;
that id-one of the reasons why the
lanta, where Tech ia located, has
underwritten $1,600,000. This
leaves only $2,600,000 or $500,-
000 per year for the remainder of
the state, and already Augusta,
Savannah, Columbus and Wayeroev
has underwritten or guaranteed
their quotas.
One question which was met by
the tourists early ih their trip, but
the answer to which quickly spread
ro that it was net encountered dur
ing the latter half, was, “Why are
one of the reasons why the
campaign, despite the suggestions

They o<* only kfiewlt is right and
Tor the best'interests of thd'state,
but, themselves being business
nicn, they know it"is the biggest
business preposition ever facing
Georgia, and that R cannot fail
because it appears from a purely
selfish standpoint, as wkll os pa
triotic. “It is a business proposi
tion of the very greatest end to
its minutest detail,” said Victor
Allen, of Buford, chairman Of the
state campaign executive commit
tee, a man who has built up-hi the

business that brings into Georgia
between. $3,000,000 and $6,000,-
000 a year. Sb imbued Is he With
the Greater Tech idea that he Has
given up bis private business for
nine weeks now to direct this
campaign, and annoutitbs hr
would give fifty more weeks if
necessary to accomplish success
Those are some fatnblitig Im
pressions. I am “aold,” heart

movement; I have seen Georgia's

This was announced at the inter-

Federation Of General
Workers To Support
'Triple Alliance*
LONDON, April 14—(By the As
sociated Press).—Tho Federation of
General Workers, representing a
million and a half of persons in more
than one hundred industries outside
of the “Triple Alliance,” decided to
day to support tho “Triple Alliance”
in its strike in the striking coal
miners.
A conference was held this morn-
in between Premier Ltoyd-Georgc
and a delegation of officials of the
“Triple Alliance” which haa called
a atriko for Friday night. It was
concluded within two hours without
any progress apparently having been
made.
It was reported from the confer
ence that Lloyd-Gcorgc had made a
long statement appealing strongly to
tho railway men and transport work
ers, asking them to exercise restraint
and not precipitate a crisis. His
C i, however, doesn't seem to havo
any effect. Thus the situation
this afternoon appeared unchanged
and tho outlook gloomy. .

Fails To Grant All Ask
ed, But Public
Loses
The taxpayers of Americus lose
again nnd the Amcricns Lighting
company, by ruling of- the Geirgiu
Railroad commission, wins. The ex
tent of the victory to the Americus
Lighting company, according to cal
culation of City Engineer Tiedeman,
is about $2,10Q per year, which tho
lighting company is to be permitted
to collect out of the city treasury for
street lighting nbavo tho amount
paid last year—unless the city de
cides to get along without lights for
a while.
The news came this morning that
the commission had ruled,on the re
cent application of the Amcricus
Lighting company for n certain in-
creased rate for street lighting. The
company asked for an increase of ap
proximately 100 per cent, a rate of
7.7 cents per kwh, the city to main
tain tho lamps and line, or 8 cents,
tho company to maintain the line and
a limited number- of lamps. Tho
commission fixed the rate nt 5.75 per
kwh, the company to maintain
lino nnd nn unlimited number
lamps, as under former conditions.
Tho old rate was not fixed on a
kilowatt hour basis, but on flat rates
for various types nnd sizes of lamps
This amounted Inst year to s’
50,260. Under the new rate,
cording to Engineer Tiedeman, the
annual street lighting bill will be
about $8,350.
The city budget, under which city
finances are now controlled,
a fund of $G,bOO for street
this year, and, according to
ctruction placed by officials, this
not bo increased, tho entire antici
pated tevenuo of the city having Al
ready been appropriated in the buff-
~ct.
“This seems ta mean.” said on’a
“(hat when wo havo used up $9,500
worth of street lighting we’ll have to
go dark till the end of the year.”
