Grady farpenter To Construct
Swanky Tourisr Court
Cleveland
The rippling, sparkling waters flow
ing down the little gorge of Little)lVsna
tee river at Roy Head bridge on U.S.
Route 129, one mile nortti ot {Cleveland
on the Neel (rap highway, has had an
enchanting appeal since boyhood Tor a
former White County citizen who went
to Augusta and made good.
While on a visit here Saturday this
lot liter White County citizen drove out
this site with some friands an'' paused to
admire thiB very secnic and attlactive
8 pot thaf had caught Ins fancy since a
boy and declared that he would own it
before returning home.
William Hall, the owner of thefiling
station, two dwellings on this side of the
the bridge, up sjream, and 18-acres pj
land, was contacted and the transfer of
title was made to Grady Carpenter oml
K. W. Betz, of Augusta , Ga.
Mr. Carpenter informs The Courier that
the filing station building will be razed
as soon as the present occupant releases
it, which is expected shortly. On that
site an ultra-modern budding 5(1x30 ft.
will be rushed to completion which will
have a swanky dining room, modern rest
rooms and other pnolic iacilitics. From
this building a road will be giad-d up
the creek to the old dam site and hard
surfaced. Within the next few winks con
struction will be started on 20 brick cot¬
tages overlooking the gorge. These cot¬
tages will have a living room and kitch
<en, bedroom, which will be electrically
■equipped - Each one will be heated by lm
taine gas, radio, suct-on fan. shower land
toilet.
The grounds along the banks of
■stream will be "smoothed and beautified
for playgrounds for children and
■as well as provided with picnic
and equipment which will be tree to the
public.
A concrete dam will be constructed
span the stream making a lake of some
4(15 acres near the old mill dam, and the
public will qe tiiven free access to its use
in swiming, boating and fishing
Mr. Carponter states that he will heve
a chef to prepare food for the roost fasti
dious as wei[ as specialrzing in bareeeue
foods,
Mr. Carpenter diil not giveTha Courier
ait estimate on this wonderful develop¬
ment, bn; builders estimate that the main
building, 20 brick cottages, road .and
beautification will cost at least $ 70 , 000 .
No one has given us an estimate on the
concrete dam.

Representative G. C. Dorsey and Chair
nan 0. W. Tnrner are urging Mr.Jack
ou, division state highway engineer,
iainesville, to rush completion of (the
stimates and forward to Atlanta, and
re insisting that right-of-wvy deeds be

The Courier is happy ;o see tiro people
of Cleveland again, leunited and with
tire and action in their heart 011 every
progiessive move that will mean a better
live and wide awake town. This lire and
enthusiasm has been dormant for the past
few mouths, but now they have pushed
■ flthat sleepliness and are eager input
their shoulder to the wheel and kee]
Cleveland moving forward. Lets not let
the proSvasaive spirit die, again.
Don’t you tmink White county
needs an airport? Well, then get
right on Ollie Turner to locate a
site.
Cleveland is rejoicing over Grady
Carpenter, of Augusta, buying the
18-acre tract of land from William
Bell to construct an ultra-modern
tourist court. All the buildings will
be of the latest modernistic .design
and will be under the management
of an experienced and capable man
who has had years experience in this
business. Nothing will be permitted will
to happen on the premises that
in any way cast an unwholeso/ne re¬
flection upon this community. In fact,
it will be conducted just like any big
hotel or modern tourist court is oper¬
ated. Rough-necks will be thrown out
on their neck without any notice or
ceremony if they should happen to
get on the premises. It is going to be
operated as a decent and respectable
business and not as a honky-tonk as
a few have been passing the word
around. It will be conducted as a
place that all Cleveland will be proud
of.
Grady Carpenter anything is that not going will lower to be
a party in
the morals of this community. He
contributed $500 to Truett-McConnell
Junior College because he was inter¬
ested in raising the moral standards
of this community and was deeply
interested in its progress and de¬
velopment of Cleveland.
Ike Jackson and Bill Allison can
be given the full credit of interesting
Mr. Carpenter to make investment in
White county. They went to see
Grady about a contribution for the
College and told him something of
the tourist possibilities in Cleveland
Since that time Grady has come to
investigate and was satisfied Cleve¬
land needed an ultra-modern place to
take care of tourists with recreation
al facilities.
We are going to have the swankiest
tourist court in North Georgia with
all the wholesome recreational facili¬
ties and the people will be coming
there in droves. Grady is giving
Cleveland one of the finest develop¬
ments to come to our section and will
no doubt add to it within a year.
He is giving all respectable citizens
of Cleveland swimming, boating, use
of picnic grounds and fishing abso¬
lutely free. Who shouldn’t be rejoic¬
ing? He is doing this because he is
interested in Cleveland and is eager
to give them wholesome recreation.
The Courier welcomes Grady and
is eager to lend him all possible as¬
sistance.
The Courier is fed-up on talking
about Cleveland needing an industry.
We can talk, but it takes ACTION
to get results. A meeting of the
stockholders of the Industrial De¬
velopment Corporation must be called
at once. Someone must be delegated
to go out and contact industry of¬
ficials and present them with the
facts of what we have to offer. Tf
we get into action in earnest then we
will bring home the bacon. Snap into
this with a determination and you
will see une QV more located here
before long.
Judge Sibley wrote the Federal
Court of Appeals decision on the
Texas case. So why should Herman
Talmadge continue to harp on the
Primus King case?
North Carolina figures her income
from out-of-state visitors at more
than $150,000,000 a year, and it’s
growing every year. In Florida, t?.e
income from tourists is the No. 1 in¬
come. Georgia has more than North
Carolina to offer tourists if we had
modern tourists hotels and ample rec¬
reational facilities. White county will
be able to take care of several hun¬
dred tourists next year if plans now
in the making materialize. If these
plans materialize then White county
will be the meeca for tourists. Noth¬
ing must prevent these plans from
going through. Watch us succeed.
Some people in Cleveland must
think that they have gold, oil or have dia¬
monds on their land, as they
placed such an unreasonable High
price on their dirt. Such people are
not for Cleveland’s progress and de¬
velopment. They are the people who
are hindering Cleveland from grow¬
ing. The sooner they leave the bet¬
ter off Cleveland will be. The pro¬
gressive citizens of Cleveland are ad¬
vising prospective buyers from deal¬
ing with such people and will con¬
tinue to discourage anyone from hav¬
ing any business connections with
them. .
Messrs. Gus York, J. W. Smith ami
Jas. P. Davidson interviewed Senator
Richard B. Russell in Gainesville last
Saturday and asked him to extend a
personal invitation to Dr. H. H. Ben¬
nett, Director of the U. S. Soil Con¬
servation Service, Washington, D. C.,
to visit White county the latter part
of August. Senator Russell told them
that Dr. Bennett had already accept¬
ed an invitation to go to Murray
county, but that he might arrange to
come here before or after his Mur¬
ray county visit. He will noFify us
shortly.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Mood Allison, of
Decatur, spent the weekend with rel¬
atives in White county. Mood *vas
high in his praise of the wonderful
growth and progress Cleveland had
made in the past year and hopes to
see the sleepy, “don’t care” spirit
among some of our citizens entirely
disappear and that they will get be¬
hind everything that will make more
progress for Cleveland. From such
encouragement it puts more pep into
us to revitilize our efforts to arouse
our people to the wonderful possi¬
bilities of Cleveland, and if ail the
people will crawl out from behind the
shell and put their shoulder to the
wheel we will astound the nation in
our growth and development in the
next twelve months. We are going to
make more progress in the next
twelve months than any ‘Tittle city”
in North Georgia. If you are not for
progress and the proper development
of Cleveland then you had better
move, for the citizens that want a
better and more progressive town
are going to push you aside and move
forward with force and determination
to cooperate and work to the end
that our goal is obtained. We are
going to succeed. Watch developments
happen fast).
South Carolina in 1944 repealed all
statutes pertaining to primaries and
set up a private club, with the hope
that they could decide whom it would
admit as members, and who would
vote in Democratic primaries. Federal
Judge Waling; in a decision given out
Saturday from Charleston, S. C„ de¬
clared that such an idea is “pure
sophistry.”
That should squell the White Pri¬
mary scheme of Herman Talmadge
and Roy Harris. True, the matter will
be appealed, but can we believe the
IJ. S. Supreme Court’s decision will
be any different than the Texas and
Louisiana ?
Chevrolet Motor Co. and Southern
