t-iG-ei 4 X THE CLEVELAND COURIER Vol. No. The Courier’s Platform For White County and Cleveland: Hotel * 1 Tourist Courts \ Airfield All Highways Graded and Paved f Small Industries Development of Chattahoo¬ chee River Very shortly The Editor hopes to remove one or more of the things we are fighting for White County’s progress and develop¬ ment from our masthead. Watch ns succeed. 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. Survey On Shoal Creek Hoad Completed Monday Surveyors ol the State Higuway 1)8 lartment completed the enrvey on the ihoal Creek road Mondry at noon iuto he public square. 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 ent immediately. They plan to go to At anta at an early date to consult with ’ublic Roads Administration otticialsand rSe them to have an inspection made nd expedite the project for letting as arly as possible. If everyone wil[J<io his part tiiis road hould be let in 60 days So then don’t wive no stones unturned. The Post Office Department re¬ lives all subscriptions to be paid in Ivance. Better come around to see 1 if you want The Courier to visit >u each week. Don’t delay this vital atter a day longer. Regular advertising in The Courier ill bring you more business, Mr. erchant. Don’t you want it? Keep is business at home by advertising The Courier each week. Watch the ■ople go to trade with the mer ant that advertise in The Courier. FAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION NOW l Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County 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.

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 Railway System carry at least one ad a month in The Courier. They realize the pulling power of The Courier. Doesn’t it seem that the local mer chants should have an ad every week in The Courier?

The merchants are the people who will benefit most from these developments. Don’t you think that they should show their appreci¬ ation ? If the price of gold is increased, we wonder if gold mining will be re¬ sumed in White county ?
